House Lannister

House Lannister is a very large and powerful Ostrogoth House located in the city of Lannistane of which is in the eastern reaches of the Kingdom Of Lucerne. It holds one of the permanent spots on the Kings Council, due to being the Co-lord of Stormwind, alongside House Starke, and this has placed them in the top echolon of the powerful houses in the Kingdom of Lucerne. Despite their seat on the council being due to the fact that they are of Stormwind their main powerbase is instead Lannistane

The House has made themselves the go to House when it comes to trade, and it is this trade that has skyrocketed them to the most wealthy house besides House Lovie in the entire Kingdom. This is something that has carried alongside House Lannister for most of their time in the valley of Lucerne, and it has allowed them to be ignored for disloyalty out of the simple reason that to reject them would be to destroy us at the same time.

House Lannister's symbol is a golden lion on a crimson background, and this has to do with the fact that they like to model themselves off the bravery and leadership that are testimony to the Lions of the wilderness. House Lannister also maintains words, and their house motto is "Hear me roar!" Their unofficial motto, which is as well known as the official one. is "A Lannister always pays his debts."

House Lannister would first become known to history when they followed the main gathering of Ostrogoths as they made their way into the region of Thrace looking for the escape from the Slavic hordes. They were rejected and before they could be saved they were pushed westerward where they eventually made their way into the valley of Lucerne. House Lannister was one of the first and only Ostrogoth Houses that would enter the valley of Lucerne, and due to the fact that their leadership was very intelligent they made a large headway into the region. Their growth would be massive, and during their expansion they would become aligned to the Kingdom of Forks led by House Tyrell, where they would join with House Arryn during the Driving Tide believing that House Lovie would be defeated. House Lannister would lead the assault against the Kingdom of Gondor alongside House Starke, and would launch its massive forces into their lands. The assault on Gondor would gain them the control of a larger swathe of land east of Lannistane, and from this they also gained several houses of which increased their power even farther. House Lannister following this would aim itself into the Circle of Magi side of the of the Kingdom of Lucerne, but Tywin Lannister believed that Bill would eventually lose and for this reason never commited any forces to assiting the King of Lucerne. When William Lovie III. went on his journey House Lannister would send forces to assist him, but they realized quickly that William had gotten closer to House Starke then House Lannister and for that reason they silently hoped he failed and was killed. When he was not killed in the fighting House Lannister went all in with him, and attempted to gain his loyalty by offering to marry several of their unmarried members off to other houses, and this had the effect of gaining them some respect with the King of Lucerne who would eject his father from Lucerne and was crowned. House Lannister under Jamie Lannister would launch a massive army basically everything they had into the lands of Westros under the command of Jamie, and Stafford Lannister of which would be responsible for the ambush and destruction of a large Bolten army in the Battle of Green Creek.

Early History
The members of House Lannister were once members of the Ostrogoth sect of Germans, and this leaves them in very lonely company in the regions of Central Europe. The original members of House Lannister were with the main grouping of Ostrogoths that entered the regions of Thrace in the hopes of survival, but unlike many of their other relatives, they found they were rejected entrance in, and before the rest of the Ostrogoths could help them, they found they were not allowed entrance into Byzantine.

With the rest of their people gone, the members of House Lannister made their way northwest, and eventually found themselves in the regions of Dol Amroth. During the Dol Amroth Civil War they fled the country, and arived in the Valley of Lucerne. They stayed during their time before the Driving Tide in the small village that they named Lannistane after their house name.



Lannistane
Main Article : Lannistane

By chance the members of House Lannister as they entered the northwestern section of Lucerne stumbled upon the mighty castle that was once a castle of Numenor. As the settled in the castle they were warned by the surrounding villages that the castle was haunted and that they shouldn't inhabit such a place but House Lannister resisted this and begin working on fortifying their position.

House Lannister wanted to fortify the castle itself but first they needed to accumulate wealth, and this was the first time that they broke on to the scene as a true economics power in the Valley of Lucerne. They begin hiring for very cheap wages poor Ostrogoths as they followed the same path that the Lannisters had in coming northwards. These poor workers were used to fish the lake near the castle, and farm the region around Lannistane. Over years of doing this they accumulated a large sum of money, and they used this to upgrade their farms, and fishing which led to them increasing more and more the wealth they were getting. In the eastern half of Lucerne the city of Lannistane became the center of all trade flowing westward in the actual act of travelling when House Lannister used their wealth to produce themselves large amounts of wagons, and travelling equipment. With this fleet they sold their services to merchents and traders throughout the valley of Lucerne and by the time all of this was over they were one of the richest houses in all of Lucerne.

House Lannister with its now near endless coffers begin turning that money inward when they not only fixed the damage to their castle, but they also begin upgrading the actual city itself when they created businesses owned by them, and truly begin turning Lannistane into an actual town.



Red Army
Following the growth of their city, and personal wealth they begin using that wealth to grow their own personal army which unlike the other houses is not called their honor gaurd but the Red Army. The golden army continued to grow in Lannistane, and when the point came that they numbered nearly 600 men the house became very much obsessed with more power.

The leadership of House Lannister saw that in the center of Lucerne the members of House Hale were in control of the economy but out here in the east their were no real competitors other then House Haven, and House Broom. With the task set that they were going to take control of the economy in the east of the valley, they went about controlling the situation. First they approached the two houses with offers of becoming House Lannister's banner houses. House Broom was very much in agreement with this due to the existence of the large golden army but House Haven had spent their time upgrading their personal estate of Harn in order to resist these exact kind of attempts.



Battle of Harn
The Battle of Harn was the result of House Haven resisting the desire of House Lannister to make them their banner house. The large Red army advanced on the House Haven estate of Harn where they sieged the city for nearly six months until finally the leadership of House Haven recieved assistence in the form of the incoming House Starke who was retreating from their personal civil war in Westros.

House Starke broke up the siege in the northern part of the estate with allowed for House Haven to recieve supplies due to the fact that the northern end was now open. With the attempt to starve them out now gone, House Lannister pulled back and prepared to bring their full force to bear against House Haven and the newly arrived House Starke. Before they could House Tyrell soilders arrived and told them that Forks was going to war, and that they were calling for all who could assist to come to Forks to meet with the gathering armies. They were warned that if they did not come they would be remembered for not having joined with Forks and that would be a very bad thing to happen to them. House Lannister under its leader Tytos Lannister gathered its forces and made thier way to Forks for the incoming debates of the Driving Tide.



Driving Tide
Main Article : Driving Tide

When Tytos arrived in Forks he found he had arrived ahead of many of the western, and eastern houses so he had a few days to get a lay of the land. What Tytos saw was that the two sides were devided between the alliance of House Lovie against the alliance of House Arryn. He saw that House Lovie's leader in William Lovie was an extremely charisismatic man who created loyalty in almost everyone he met, and on top of that he rode on the back of a dragon. On the other side the leader of House Arryn was Jorg Arryn who was an intelligent man but he was driven by anger towards William Lovie and thus was making mistakes in his alliance. Still Tytos was looking into the future and wanted to control the situation once the Driving Tide was over, and thus he sided with House Arryn as he believed he could tip the balance of power to House Arryn with nothing more then his involvment, and thus eventually overtake House Arryn more easily then House Lovie.

Tytos though underestimated William Lovie's alliance as they were able to gain the backing of House Hale which meant he was going to get his way. With the knowledge that he had backed a losing horse Tytos retreated from the city under the pretense that he was going to marshal his forces. In fact he simply went back to Lannistane and took no part in the Driving Tide. He sent constant letters to the Forks army saying that while away his town had begun rebelling and thus he couldn't remove himself from the fighting.



Stormwind

With House Lovie coming out victorious during the events of the Driving Tide and gaining control over Lucerne, and shortly afterwards much of the valley Tytos Lannister went about attempting to fix the situation. Tytos knew that William was having a problem finding a house for the east due to the lack of fortresses other then Lannistane, and thus Tytos travelled to Lucerne where he offered to build Stormwind into a massive fortress which could become the anchor of eastern Lucerne, and the only thing he wanted was to be Lord of Stormwind upon its completion. William supringingly agreed and so Tytos went to work building the city. By the time it was completed it was nothing more then the first tier of what it is now, but it was magnificant anyway, and thus when William arrived to see it the two very old men met for the final time, and William got Tytos back for everything Tytos thought he had gotten away with.

"Thank you Tytos for building this wonderful city...please give me a moment to properly make you understand. I was not lying to you when I said that you would be the Lord of Stormwind but then again you were not lying to me when you said you were going to return to Lucerne with an army. You did one day return with an army, but you and I both know there was no rebellion in Lannistane...in the end you betrayed me, and for that you must be punished. I could have you strung up but I'm not going to do that. Instead I'm going to make you Lord of Stormwind...well atleast Co-Lord of Stormwind alongside House Starke. Understand that this is my forgivness of what you did. Understand that your going to swear an oath to me and all of my descendents here and now. From this day on this oath will bind you to your word. Never again will you be given forgivness. Next time our forgivness will be a sword."

-William Lovie

Following this speach William forced Tytos to swear a personal oath on behalf of every future House Lannister member, that if broken would mean treason for the entire house.



Benjamin Lannister
See Also : John Lovie

It was Benjamin Lannister that once again House Lannister was moved on to the main scene, and once again it was because they sided with the losing side. He was born during the reign of John Lovie, and he was aligned with members of House Targaryan and House Jestife in their support of John Lovie over his brother William Lovie for the crown. It is believed that unlike his father Benjamin did this out of love for his friend John Lovie and not some kind of revenge scheme against House Lovie. In the end as the rule of John Lovie begin to fail Benjamin's brother Tytos Lannister II. begin pulling many of the House's assets out of Lucerne. With the final moments of John Lovie's reign incoming he ordered House Lannister to defend the entrance to Lucerne from anyone attempting to enter. When he made this order House Jestife strongly objected as they believed (correctly) that House Lannister were not in the struggle for the long run. As the rebels approached the city House Lannister did betray John Lovie and allowed the rebels to enter without a fight. With his rule about to end John Lovie ordered House Jestife to hold the palace while he spent the last hours of his rule in Lucerne torchering and murdering the members of House Lannister that had remained in the palace as collateral.

Lann Lannister
Despite his name being nicknamed the Clever, the reign of Lann Lannister shall be remembered as a dark time for House Lannister. During this time Lann Lannister was terrible at leading the house and he caused extensive damage to the House's fortunes. His failure and the redicule he recieved is a major reason for the behavior of Tywin Lannister. During this time the personal lands of House Lannister were beset by rebellion, and it only went full blow into conflict after Tywin begin exerting some control over the house and the vassals saw that he wasn't as stupid as his father. The Vassal Houses of House Lannister in the form of House Reyne, House Tarbeck, and House Nane all grouped together and attempted to take control of Lannistane. In a stroke of the future stupidity of Lann Lannister he allowed himself to be meniplulated by his wife, and his mistresses into allowing his brother Tylin Lannister to massacre several women, and children of the houses that had rebelled inside the city of Lannistane. This massacre led to an even greater turn of events which could not be slowed no matter how hard anyone in the house tried. In a last ditch effort Lann once again listened to his mistress and had his brother Tymen Lannister - who was the most able mind in the leadership at the time - go to the town of Haelbrooke and attempt to discuss the problems between the two. Tymen warned him that after the massacre of so many members of their houses they would react violently towards him, but he rejected this advise and insisted on sending Tymen.



Death of Tymen
When Tymen arrived he was accompanied by a small force of some fifty of his personal gaurd, and the entire force was taken under gaurd to the center of town where Tymen understood bad things were about to happen when the military leaders of the houses greated him instead of the leadership of the house. He was correct, and oer the course of the next three hours the entire group was executed and their heads were put into bags and sent back to Lannistane. With the murder of Tymen the leadership of House Lannister was now completely controlled by Tylin Lannister, and the mistress of Lann Lannister, which meant that things were not going to go well. Tylin was given free reign and his brutal actions led to a further increase in the conflict, which threatened to embroil the involvment of the actual Kingdom of Lucerne when a letter was sent to Lann Lannister that James Lovie was prepared to involve himself before he had another situation like what happened with House Targaryan. With this in mind the rebels attempted to drag the conflict on so that House Lovie would become involved in the conflict, and this meant that they moved their forces to take control of the villages around Lannistane thereyby blocking the forces of House Lannister inside the fortress.

Stalemate
With the rebels fortifying themselves it tok the violence of Tylin Lannister to break the sieg. Tylin took a large force of Lannister forces and went behind the lines, right inside the village of House Nune, and engaged in a quick siege which led to the deaths of nearly the entire House Nune. With this violent act the other rebels changed their stance and begin to move directly towards a siege of Lannistane itself. During this intial drive to the city the members of House Lannister reacted to the defeat of the force of Tylin Lannister, and following the defeat their was going to be no mercy for the merciless Tylin Lannister and he was executed and his body blown into the wind after being lit on fire while still alive.



The Rebellion
The region was beset by battles as the outnumbered forces of House Lannister battled for their lives, but were pushed back inch by inch to Lannistane. As victory for the rebels seemed sure Lann Lannister gave the command of House Lannister's army to his son Tywin and following this decision the tides of the conflict changed. Where Lann's command structure was filled wiht morons Tywin surrounded himself quickly with skilled commanders, as well as those loyal to him. As the rebels besieged the city he held them off for weeks while he secretly plotted with House Reyne. Tywin offered House Reyne the lands of House Nane if they would turn against the rebels and join with House Lannister, and House Reyne was open to this if the situation changed and put House Lannister in a position of power. So knowing what he had to do, Tywin moved his forces out the north gate of Lannistane and met the rebels on the field of battle.



Tywin Lannister
Main Article : Tywin Lannister

"If another House can seize one of our own and hold him with impunity we are no longer a House to be feared. Your mother’s dead, before long I’ll be dead, and you and your brother, and your sister and all of her children. All of us dead. All of us rotting in the ground. It’s the family name that lives on, it’s all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honour, but family. Do you understand?"

-Tywin Lannister

As a result of his father's follies Tywin Lannister never laughed as he mistrusted laughter, hearing too much of it directed at his father and House Lannister in his youth. Tywin also seldom smiled when he was young and never smiled again after his wife's death. After becoming lord of the house, Tywin managed to single-handedly restore the family honor and fortunes from near ruin. He had his father's mistress stripped naked and forced the sobbing woman to walk the streets of Lannistane to confess to every man she met that she was a thief and a harlot before banishing her from Stormwind.



Conflict with Gondor
Main Article : Gondor War with Stormwind


 * "Bill Lovie forced us to invade a realm we knew next to nothing about militarily, and beyond that they were our most important trading partners."


 * -Eddard Starke

The Stormwind war against Gondor begin after Bill Lovie ordered the forces of House Starke and House Lannister to make conflict with the western side of Gondor. This conflict escaled very quickly when despite the conflicts on the eastern half of their Kingdom the forces of Gondor moved significant forces to the western half against the forces of Stormwind. During this escalation the forces of House Lannister, and House Starke moved increasingly to the front, with both sides employing different strategies. House Lannister and its forces moved against the large Gondor town of Langstrand which they quickly surrounded with forces, and moved a smaller force of more elite irregular troops led by many of their more elite forces to harass the lands around the Gondor town of Adrahil where the main thrust of House Starke was moving against. The strategy of House Starke though was for their forces to thrust against the large town of Adrahil, while there forces then moved against the villages north of Adrahil in an attempt to draw the Gondor soldiers into pitched battles that worked agains them. They would be led by Eddard Starke, and Brandon Starke of which the two brothers would lead the siege of Adrahil. This strategy worked with both the forces assisted by a small detatchment sent from House Ordos. House Ordos sent an elite force of siege experts that assisted with both the siege of Langstrand, and Adrahil with both logistics and leadership for goals of the sieges. On the other side of the conflict was the defenders of Gondor of whom were led by Eldarion Elessar, his brother Ildarion, and their uncle Halbaard Elessar. The forces of Gondor were obviously relying mainly on defenders made up of the forces of the two major towns Adrahil, and Langstrand and because of this they were in a lot of troulbe when it came to the massive forces being brought to bear by Stormwind, and House Ordos. The northern town of Adrahil was led by the two sons of the King, while Lanstrand was held by Halbaard Elessar making for serious leadership in the two towns.

House Lannister



 * "I looked at the conflict in two different lenses. The first was my belief that Bill Lovie was increasingly moving in the direction of a mad King and this decision wreaked of a lack of foresight. On the other hand control of Lanstrand would be a great addition to the power of House Lannister."


 * -Tywin Lannister

House Lannister moved their main army straight out of Lannistane alongside all of their vassals, and other houses and moved directly towards Langstrand. The Lannisters were led by Tywin Lannister of whom took complete charge of the siege of Langstrand, and then he sent his family members to take control of the various villages, and castles nearbye. When he was given word that Ildarion Elessar had fled Adrahil and was moving north he sent his most trusted commander in his son Jaime Lannister north to chase him down with most of the heavy cavalry and the entire force of House Brent that had come with House Lannister. Jaime Lannister would move quickly north, but was very careful to move his large force out of sight of any force that they saw and through this strategy he moved undetected through Gondor and begin stalking Ildarion Elessar and his force so that he could capture the prince before the Starke's got him. Jaime got close to Ildarion Elessar twice but both times Ildarion was able to meneaver himself away from the forces of Jaime Lannister, and escape. Either way the forces of Ildarion were basically reduced to running around for nearly a month as they were chased by Jaime Lannister and this left them unable to take part in any actual fighting.

"My father may not have noticed but while Jaime was running about chasing around Ildarion Elessar, I was taking control of an entire province of Gondor."

-Tyrion Lannister

While Jaime was searching for Ildarion Elessar his brother in Tyrion Lannister moved throughout the region between Adrahil, and Langstrand with a largely weakly equipped ground force and begin capturing the various castles, and forts that dotted this region. These forts, and castles were far weaker then they had ever been because the west was seen by Gondor as the area that they least needed to be worried about. Despite this though Tyrion had to deal with each of these defences of which the largest was the fort of Amon Hen of which was defended by six hundred men of Gondor and was perched on a cliff overlooking the valley around it. Tyrion would use great skill in traversing the valley around the fort which allowed him to sneak his forces to the depths surrounding the fort.



Chasing Illdarion Elessar

 * "I followed my orders to the letter. I chased that foolish prince through the forests for weeks, and each time I got close he ran allitle faster. When I finally caught him I was failed by my scouts of whom I can only assume died for their mistake."


 * -Jaime Lannister

As Jamie Lannister made his way north his scouts were constantly scanning the woods, and the villages that they moved through, and around in the guise of finding Ildarion. As this continued they reached just north of Adrahil when they caught the scent of Ildarion as he was travelling north of the city fighting a running battle against a House Starke cavalry force. His scouts reported to him that the forces of House Starke that were involved were those of his rival in Robb Starke so he moved quicker then he wanted to in order to catch Ildarion. As he moved with less stealth now his force was noticed by a local garrison of whom was led by the able commander Aegnor Tal-Villion of whom begin shadowing the larger Lannister force. Aegnor quickly realized that Jamie was attempting to harry his prince, and thus Aegnor prepared most of his men for the defence of their fort, while he and a company fifty cavalry begin to harass the rear echolon of the Jaime Lannister force. Jaime Lannister was in a meeting with his scouts of whom informed him that Ildarion was only a few hours away and if they marched now they could catch him. As he prepared to give the command the cries of battle went out as the cavalry of Aegnor crashed into the camp killing at random. Jaime moved into the fray, and after a brief fight the cavalry of Aegnor calmly retreated from the field. The Lannisters had lost nearly two hundred men in the brief fight, and their supplies were in tatters following the ambush so Jaime was forced to deal with the forces of Aegnor and resist the capture of Ildarion as he didn't have the capable forces anymore. Having saved his prince from capture Aegnor retreated to Castle Trenabal where they bunkered in for the inevitable counter assault.



House Starke

 * "I knew I had to take control of the situation before the Lannisters got their brand of victory. The only problem was that I knew Halbaard very well and I didn't have any violent quarrel with the city."


 * -Eddard Starke

Theon Greyjoy joined Robb Starke in a raiding party that was basically meant to harass, and capture large tracts of land in the hopes of getting the Gondorians to leave their fortifications and walk into traps north of Adrahil. While they did this Jon Snow led a smaller group of heavy cavalry against the villages of this area, and he slowly but surely became a sort of vangaurd for the larger cavalry force of Theon, and Robb. At this point with fighting breaking out all over the region the main army of Eddard Starke supported by House Blackwood and some logistics sent by House Ordos moved against the town of Adrahil and put the town completely under siege. Before they could get the entire town under siege though one of the brothers in Ildarion left the city from the west with a large force of heavy, and light cavalry and made his way north to defend the villages. With Adrahil under siege and the objective of starving the town out until it surrendered Eddard gave the command to begin the heavy harrasment in the north.




 * "My father gave me strict orders that I wasn't to die."


 * -Robb Starke

Theon and Robb worked this brilliantly and after raiding the village of Meadow's Grove they noticed a rather large group of Gondor soilders marching eastward and they immediatly begin following the group. After a full day of marching the Gondor forces set up camp inside a forest and they believed they had the night to rest before marching again. This was a large mistake, and the forces of Theon and Robb moved quickly to surround the camp. While they surrounded the camp the forces of Jon Snow moved against the only real chance of the Gondor force to be saved when they moved against a cavalry force led by one of the local commanders.

Raid on Groiline



 * "My success in the capture of Groiline would allow me to get out of the shadow of being a bastard son of the Lord of Stormwind, but it also sent me to the north."


 * -Jon Snow

During the days of the war with Gondor, Jon Snow was tasked with a small unit of troops that he was tasked with raiding the northern farmlands in order to draw out the outstretched Gondor forces into the trap of the army of House Lannister, and House Starke. In Jon's role he would become aware of how outstretched the Gondor forces were when he chased a force of Gondor cavalry through the night and as he passed by the village of Groiline his scouts reported no defenders. Seeing this as an oppurtunity he would stop chasing the cavalry and would instead move his force to Groiline and capture the village.



Ambush at Meadow's Grove

 * "The culmination of everything over the past months was finally coming together, and the closeness of it gave me slight pause. I moved into that camp with the belief that I would either be sealing his coffin, or walking into the trap that sealed mine."


 * -Robb Starke

Before Jon Snow had moved against the village of Goiline he had sent a raven scout northwest towards where he believed his brother to be with the information that he had Ildarion surrounded from the north, while Jaime Lannister was in the south blocking that route, and a force of cavalry was coming from the west to alert the Ildarion force of their predicament. Realizing they had to stop the cavalry force Robb Starke ordered a bold move when he moved his entire force south west into the path of the cavalry. His force would get off their horses and quickly prepare and ambush for the force of maybe fifteen cavalry, and when the force arrived they quickly saw they were in a lot of trouble so they surrendered with only two casualties of whom had attempted to flee. Robb's force would quickly gain the information from the cavalry about where the prince was precisley located, and with this information they were sent to the rear lines by some of the men, and the rest of the force moved towards the force of Ildarion. With no hope of relief, or any new information they knew they had Ildarion this night if they worked this well. Theon, and Robb's forces moved silently in the night and proceeded to take out the scouts that had been posted to watch for just this event. With the scouts taken out the forces moved into the camp, and went tent to tent killing the nearly 300 strong Gondor force. Quickly into the attack the Gondorians woke up on mass after a large death scream, and combat raged across the camp with the House Starke force vastly outnumbering the Gondorians and completely surrounded and without their equipment on. After only a few minutes the Gondorians begin to surrender, and it was during this end of the fighting that Robb Starke noticed that one of the fighters who had remained fighting was Ildarion Elessar the son of the King of Gondor.


 * Robb_Starke_Greywind_Gif.jpg"Seeing him like this was exactly what I thought it would look like. He was unarmored due to the fact that he was probably catching the first true sleep he'd had in over a month, and this was how it turned out for him. He killed two of my men before I was able to intervene, and fighting him made me realize how much training I still needed to do. If he wasn't half asleep, and ragged from being worn down for two months I would have never won that fight, but he was and I won."


 * -Robb Starke

Robb immediatly engaged him in combat and on his own velition was able to defeat him only because he could tell that Ildarion was half dead from fatigue, and being unequipped with armor, or a shield. When Ildarion fell defeated the rest of the Gondor force was swiftly throwing down their weapons and surrendering leaving the full Starke force with a nearly complete victory. With Ildarion defeated Robb was egged on by Theon to kill him, and for a moment Robb contimplated listening to his friend but he then thought strategically and realized that if they had the prince they could basically ransom whatever they wanted from the Gondorians. With this in mind Robb decided instead of killing him he would instead take him in as a prisoner, and ordered the force to pull back to their original position with their now sixty prisoners along with the prince of Gondor.



Prisoner

 * "The King was coming to kill the prisoner that stood between me and a lot of power. I couldn't let his stupidity and blatent attempts at war to stand between me and all that. Luckily for me Eddard Starke was able to ignore his honor for a second and do exactly what had to be done."


 * -Tywin Lannister

Robb Starke would pull his force back behind the lines, and there would set up a camp for all the prisoners they had captured and then sent word to his father about the capture of Ildarion, which would then spread like wildfire. When Eddard heard of this news he sent word to Eldarion in Adrahil of whom then sent word to Aragorn of this change in events. Aragorn had two options in front of him. The first option was to engage the Lucernians in a full pitched battle which he might lose, and if he didn't lose he would most likely lose on the east because of all the causualites. Or he surrendered most of the Gondor lands west of the River Rhine. In the end he would send word to Eldarion that their forces were going to surrender under the terms that all Gondor citizens, and forces be allowed free pass into Gondor, along with the return of Ildarion, and all prisoners. Bill Lovie would send word to Eddard that he was incoming to the camp that Eddard and Tywin Lannister were meeting, but when the letter came the servent that brought it told them that Bill planned to execute Ildarion on the spot. Both commanders understood that if they did this it would mean all out war which was stupid since they could have all of this land with no bloodshed. Because of this they hid the note, and told the scout that the prisoners were already in transfer back to Gondor. With this information Bill Lovie would return to Lucerne instead of seeing the two Lords, and they both knew they had made an enemy that day. When this happened Ildarion was given word by Robb Starke that he was to be released along with all of his men. The two would discuss the coming world that they both lived in, and Robb Starke would gain a lot of respect for Ildarion, and the same would be true of Ildarion for Robb Starke.

The Journey
Main Article : The Journey

House Lannister quickly realized that the mistake they made during the events of the Bloody Supper was that they had supported the losing side, and so it didn't matter what loyalty they held they needed to survive and grow and in order to do that they had to jump ship from Bill Lovie, and support his son William Lovie III's attempt at the throne.



William Lovie III.
See Also : William Lovie III.

House Lannister under Andrew Lovie, has maintained its role as a very important Lord of the Kingdom, and with the massive increase in trade throughout the Kingdom the House has seen even more trade flowing through its coffers. But with this massive increase they have also seen the creation of the Order of the Black Dragon which is an organization that will direct the trade in the Kingdom. Because of this they have lost much of the monopoly they once had on trade. This hasn't caused a large amount of unrest since they still maitain the largest personal wealth by far of any house in Lucerne, and this doesn't appear to even be slowing during the initial years of William Lovie III.

As time went on and the brilliance behind Andrew Lovie became more and more understood by Tywin Lannister but especially his son Tyrion Lannister the members of House Lannister begin to reap much of the spoils that the boom created. House Lannister watched as even though many other houses had entered the Order of the Black Dragon and thus destroyed their monopoly the massive increase in trade meant that House Lannister was still by far the largest traders in the valley.

 * "This would be the first time that we would be asked to work together since the War against Gondor. During that conflict both sides had not worked together at all and had basically moved however they wanted in order to take as much land for their respective house. This time we were being shuttled by the new Order of the Red Dragon and thus we would be landing where the commanders had decided it was best to land."

Eddard Starke was the leader of the Starke forces that were assembled to take part in the Invasion, and he along with House Lannister was tasked with using the ships that had been constructed to land on the two islands that existed in Westbridge. On the lead up to the campaign it was members of the Kreigs Marine that were brought in as mediators for the two sides that despised eachother and basically tasked with making sure that they worked together for the good of the invasion. Eddard and his council met with Tywin, and his council at the Port of Stormwind where there armies were camped west of and together over the course of two days they decided on the best course of action. They decided to land the majority of their troops on the main island, while they split their vassals, and banner houses into attacking the individual islands that dotted Westbridge city so that there would be no holdouts left. On the day of the invasion Eddard relunctantly led his forces along with House Lannister on to the boats of the Kreigs Marine fleet, and they sailed up the river Rhine to coincide with arrival during the night.


 * Boralus.jpg"When we stopped for the night at Kul Tiras you knew there was going to be trouble if everyone wasn't seperated so sadly enough the fleet split into the two sides with the Starke's landing in Boralus, and the Lannisters landing in Drisburg."


 * -Daelin Proudmoore

The fleet would stop for a night in Kul Tiras where they were forced to split in half so that there wouldn't be any trouble. While there Eddard Starke would meet with Daelin Proudmoore who took him throughout the capital of Kul Tiras and told him of the lands, while in Drisburg the Lannisters made little contact with the Kul Tiras people and stayed mainly on the boats. As they left it would be the next day that they would land on the islands once they got the sign that the city was under siege by the flags that House Lovie would plant on the towers of the southern gate, as well as a message arriving from a griffon of the Luftwaffe. On a normal occasion their boats would have been discovered by the Westbridge lighthouses that were located throughout the islands, and this would have led to the fleet of Westbridge ships launching to stop them, but the lighthouses were taken out of commision by the work of the Order of the Violet Dragon and thus Westbridge was blind to the ships movements. This would be the first time that the fleets of the Kreigs Marine would be used in this manner, and the hundreds of ships litterly packed themselves on the River with many ships litterly bumping into eachother because of their close proximity. The Fleet would plant anchor within range of the island, and all throughout the night the men on board waited for the flags to be raised and the griffon to arrive. When the Griffon arrived and the flags were raised the Kreigs Marine moved its ships to land on the main island.

The Southern Island

 * Hanzal_Reyne.jpg"I had been told by the Order of the Violet Dragon that the defenders of the southern islands were mainly kept in line by the defenders of House Rangold of whom were very rich and powerful. I knew the right of control, and if I was able to best the leader of the house, and then he was knighted by me I would gain them as a Sworn House. The taking of the southern Islands were never in question once William captured the southern gate, so I knew my main purpose had to be taking control of House Rangold."


 * -Hanzal Reyne

The Southern Islands were heavily populated and even more heavily defended, but its main problem was the fact that House Lovie and the Order of the Red Dragon once they broke the southern gate would be coming at them from the front, while the forces of House Reyne, and House Tarback alongside their sworn houses would be coming in from the relatively undefended rear ranks. As the siege moved to the more heavily defended bridge areas of the southern islands the Kreigs Fleet moved the vassals onto the island, and then proceeded to move towards the main contested areas where they targeted the defenders with their on board archers, and balistas. The members of House Reyne made a straight movement towards the forces of House Rangold, while the remainder of the landed forces captured the southern islands one after another before taking the defenders of the main southern gate from behind and allowing inside House Lovie, and the Waffen Army. House Reyne led by Hanzal made their way into the House Rangold esate and shocked the house by having Haznal challenging the Lord of House Rangold to a duel. The two would fight for some time but Arthur Rangold fell, and prepared to die. Hanzal offered him the choice of death or becoming a sworn house, and Arthur chose to become a sworn house, and thus Hanzal had gained exactly what he wanted with basically no losses.

The Main Island

 * Jamie_Lannister2.jpg"So many things can go wrong when you attack a fortress using suprise. Maybe they were all aware we were coming, and the moment we got off the boats we would be met by a hail of arrows. Maybe the siege machines would fail and we wouldn't be able to get past the walls. So much could have gone wrong, but when we landed aside from a few strong points they fell without much of a fight."


 * -Jamie Lannister

While the attacks on the northern, and then southern islands were more easily accomplished it was the main attack on the largest island that would be the most interesting. It was here that the House Malfoy forces led by House Labeouf, and their vassals were the strongest, but it was also here that the forces of the Order of the Violet Dragon had become the most intermingled in the attack. When the forces of House Lannister, and House Starke made their way onto the island carefully planned rebels forces attacked Malfoy forces all across the island, and this was followed by the loyalist vassal houses openly turning against House Malfoy, and thus chaos was brewing behind the main lines as the forces of House Starke, and House Lannister engaged the forces of House Malfoy in the streets. House Malfoy was barely mobile at this point but its commanders were able to atleast launch a defence of the streets, but they were cut down as they were defending against a very well prepared and more numerous oponenet. With the death of several commanders of the defenders the defence collapsed and they begin retreating into the attackers hoping they would be able to surrender, and they were as this was part of the attackers mandate.

Conflict in Westros
Main Article : First Bolten-Lucerne War


 * Domeric_Bolten1.jpg"The Kingdom of Bolten was the first time we were ever met agressively by an oponent, and at first we were shocked at their actions. I determined quickly that they had to be stopped at any cost, and this led to our promise to defend our two major allies in the region, and a massive influx of our troops into the region."
 * -William Lovie III.

With the taking of Westbrige the region of Bolten became more interested in its own growth and in particular they really wanted to get the Lucernian army involved in pitch battles which they had the numbers to survive. In order to do this they begin threatening several allies of Lucerne in western Westros in the form of Koenisburg, and the town of Jeutenburg. While these threats rancheted up the Kingdom of Lucerne did exactly what the Boltens hoped they would do when they brought huge forces to bear on the defences of the Westros river crossing of Levin. The Lucernians also made it known that any action taken against their allies in Koenisburg, or Jeutenburg would be deemed a decleration of war against Lucerne itself. This promice to defend meant a lot to the two towns, and most believed that with that the conflict would be ended before any blood was spilled. This idea changed quickly when the Kingdom of Bolten sacked Jeutenburg in a massive siege that took place in the guise of a peace mission.
 * Sack_of_Juetenburg.jpg"Jeutenburg was still on fire as the army of the Boltens moved towards the city of Koenisburg, and if not for our earlier speed it would have been the white marble of Koenisburg burning next."
 * -Jon Snow

Jeutenburg was given very little quarter with nearly half the city killed, and the survivors forced to live under the occupation of House Urnet of whom spent their time ransacking the city of its ancient wealth and history. As the army of Bolten did this their was devision as the forces under the command of Domeric Bolten, and House Hornwood would protect several areas within the city, and were the main reason the entire city wasn't massacred. With conflict between this force, and the more chaotic forces of Ramsey Bolten looking likely a raven arrived from Roose Bolten who tasked them with quickly moving towards Koenisburg before the Lucernians could react. Following this the army of the Boltens moved very quickly to camp itself outside the walls of Koenisburg thereby threatening the survival of the city for the first time in its history.

Siege of Koenisburg
Main Article : Siege of Koenisburg
 * Hedrik_Clegane_III_4.jpg"I think to a man we all thought that the Bolten's would have listened to our warnings. Noone at the top thought they were actually going to call our bluff and burn an entire town to the ground."


 * -Hedrik Clegane III.

With Jeutenburg fallen this was a huge indicator that the diplomatic message wasn't going to be enough so William ordered House Starke, as well as House Clegane to send their forces to assist in the defence of Koenisburg if it came to it. At the same time as this was going to happen William sent one of his greatest generals in Jamie Lannister to the small town of Grandlen where if the Boltens besieged the city of Koenisburg Jamie was to move southwards from Grandlen and hit them from behind and destroy the Boltens before this got out of hand. Jamie would arrive a week after leaving in Grandlen alongside a force of some two thousand cavalry, and they would make camp a days march east of Grandlen and await word from Koenisburg. While this was happening Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Hedrik Clegane III. would arrive in Koenisburg well ahead of their full forces but with a large contingent of flags, and honor gaurd that mounted themselves all along the walls of Koenisburg, and gave a very clear impression that House Starke, Clegane, and Lannister had arrived in force.

Devision

 * House_Karstark1.jpg"I think that was one of the last strings to go that let Domeric really go about ending Domeric. While from my point of view, and anyone who had a sane mind, what Domeric was saying was completely correct, that wasn't the equation. It was always his great weakeness that Domeric couldn't ever accept that rational behavior would get him no where in a land filled with ingrates, and morons. Domeric would have spent his entire life having statues built to him if he was born a few weeks march away from Dreadfort in any direction. But fate fortold that he was going to be born to House Bolten, and it was in that birth that he was fated nearly at birth to die. I told him once that he needed to kill his brother at some point. I tried to make him understand that being known as a kinslayer was the only way he would survive, but he was adament that his brother had something inside of him that was good. He probably believed that all the way up to the moment when his brother pushed the sword into his chest. Good men die quickly in Bolten."


 * -Rickard Karstark

The moment the flags went up on the walls of Koenisburg their was a severe amount of panic amongst the leadership of House Bolten, and Ramsey Bolten would call the commanders together and go on a mad rant about the need for the army to retreat before they were overwhelmed. In this moment Domeric would step forward and heavily push that they should attack the city right away as he argued their was no way that the Lucernians could have massed enough troops in the city to stop them. As he was almost finished talking Ramsey would take a knife out and lunge at Domeric attempting to kill him. Domeric was the more skilled warrior and dodged the knife before wrestling Ramsey to the ground, and only the interference of the other commanders stopped Ramsey from being killed right there. With Ramsey losing his mind in the tent it was Rickard Karstark that would suggest that they meet with the Lucernians and atleast gauge the forces of the Lucernians from the meeting. Ramsey would reluctantly agree to this plan, and with that a messenger was sent to the wall making it known that they wanted a meeting.
 * "That was the first chance I had gotten to meet the so called bastard of Bolten and I had assumed that the terrible things I had heard of him were going to prove to be overblown. I was wrong."


 * -Britt Lancave

The two forces would meet with Ramsey and Domeric Bolten followed by Rickard Karstark, and John Cole on the Bolten side and on the Lucernian side it was Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Hedrik Clegane III. alongside Britt Lancave. As the two forces rode out it was a quiet moment for both sides as both believed the other side was going to break the honorable truce of a white flag meeting. Meeting together they would barely be starting to discuss the issues when Ramsey Bolten would intervene and begin insulting Tyrion Lannister for being a dwarf, and Jon Snow for his bastardy birth.


 * I marched out onto the field, and I could see that Bolten's were already there waiting for us. Seeing the red flags of their gaurds blowing in the wind made me almost uncontiously grip my horse's reigns tighter. I looked around for a moment and saw Tyrion riding just behind me on his little pony followed closely by his squire Podrick Payne. Alittle to his left was Britt Lancave who looked like an angel riding in her white armor with nothing but her servent girl with her. I turned back and looked to my right for a moment to see Hedrik Clegane and his cousin Fredrick who looked ever piece the image of nobility. I tried to feel strong in that moment. Surrounded by so much nobility it was never more clear to me what my place was. Before I could spend another moment isolated in my mind we reached the Boltens and I followed Hedrik's suit and got off my horse. Walkign towards them I got my first glance of the Boltens. As they walked forward I knew which one was Ramsey almost immediatly due to the sheer evil that flowed from him. I'd seen lots of evil men in my day. From Maron Scorpian, to Dan Scott you thought you knew it but, this man was something else.


 * "So the mighty Kingdom of Lucerne has so little going for it that all it can send is a bastard, a dwarf, a girl, and a child?" It was exactly the kind of a greeting I would expect from someone like him.


 * "This is a peaceful meeting there is no reason for this to go into hostilities." His armor was still red, but when the man stepped forward I knew almost immediatly that it was Domeric Bolten.


 * "You burn a city to the ground that was protected by our realm and you speak of forgoing hostilities? I believe your house lost the right to speak of honor long ago but atleast let us speak with honesty for a moment." Tyrion was always the firebrand, and as he told me once, you had to be your own flag bearer when you had a weakeness as obvious as ours.


 * "Juetenburg is gone. That conversation is over. The only conversation to be had now is how long before we burn Koenisburg to the ground." Ramsey clearly wasn't one for tactics, and from the looks many in the party were giving eachother they wished he was reacting differently.


 * "Behind these walls stand an army larger then your own, with more arriving each day. Koenisburg will not burn, and unless you leave your entire force will be destroyed."


 * "I'm truly sorry but where I come from the freaks and women didn't speak for our house. So unless your here for the terms of your surrender I don't see why this should continue." Ramsey turned his back to us, and started walking back to his horse followed by several of the men who clearly were following him.


 * "Turn and run that is all your good for isn't it. No wonder you are such a disapointment to everyone in your land. We have had quite the laugh at how pathetic you are." Hedrik Clegane wasn't usually one for such dramatics but even he I guess had enough of Roose Bolten's bastard. The moment after he said the words though Ramsey let go of the horse, and walked back towards us followed closely by Domeric. I don't know what any of us expected but it wasn't him pulling a knife from his side, and lunging at Hedrik. As he jumped though it was Domeric that pushed him to the ground where he slammed hard against the ground before quickly getting to his feet and looking at Domeric with more hate in his eyes then I had ever seen. Ramsey would spit in Domeric's face before he stomped his way back to his horse and rode away followed by everyone but Domeric. Domeric leaned against the side of his horse and sighed.


 * "I don't know what I expected from this, but it wasn't this." He sounded tired, and I wasn't suprised when Britt stepped forward and rested a hand on his shoulder.


 * "This isn't on you. We all know who you are, and this would be the moment you should come with us brother." Her voice was caring, and held every ounce of truth that I know she felt about it, but even her kindness wasn't going to fix what was wrong.


 * "I'm not your brother. You just saw the only blood brother I have in this world."


 * "We are all the children of Glaurung and that includes you Domeric."


 * "I wish all of you the best. Tommarow we shall all die I suppose." With that there was nothing else to say and he mounted his horse and rode back to the Bolten lines.

With these insults the meeting begin to fall apart and it nearly came to violence when Ramsey took out a knife from his side and only the quick movement of Domeric Bolten stopped the situation from completely falling apart. Despite this Ramsey and Domeric would nearly come to blows but only Ramsey's knowledge that he couldn't defeat Domeric stopped him from attacking him right there. Ramsey would spit in his face before leaving with everyone else in the party outside of Domeric who remained behind. Britt Lancave would attempt to convinse him to come back with them, but he was loyal to a fault and returned to the Bolten lines.

Retreat

 * Ramsey_Bolten1.jpg"I returned to a camp in complete turmoil. When I got off my horse it was John Cole that approached me and told me that Ramsey had spent the ride back screaming how I was to be killed in the most violent and painful way he could devise, and that he planned to retreat back to Karhold. All that remained now was to make it there."


 * -Domeric Bolten

Following the fight between Domeric and Ramsey Bolten and the collapse of the meeting with the Lucernians it was Ramsey's hatred and madness that led him him to decide to put nearly the entire Bolten army into a full retreat back to Karhold. Ramsey was at this point beyond any sort of rational thought and noone dared resist him despite the fact that many believed that Koenisburg was there's for the taking and Roose Bolten wanted the city taken at all costs. While he planned to have nearly the entire army do this he would force his brother Domeric to return to Karhold from a different direction with only House Hornwood and its loyal vassals. As the armies made their retreat back to Karkhold, it was Ramsey that put into work his real plan when he split from the main army and moved north with a large force of cavalry and planned to burn the town of Pomlet to the ground and thus force Domeric to come to its aid, where he would then say he was responsible for the act and ambush his brother's force. After hearing Ramsey talking about his plan to Reek it was Jordin Bolten that snuck into the force of Ramsey as it split off from the main army, and he would send a Raven to Grandlen telling Jamie Lannister of the change.

Massacre at Green Creek
Main Article : Battle of Green Creek


 * Reek.jpg"The fool camped for an entire day on the words of a man he hated. He deserved what came on him that night."


 * -Jordin Bolten

What Ramsey did not anticipate was the fact that the moment that Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Britt Lancave and Hedrik Clegane returned to Koenisburg they sent a raven to Jamie Lannister telling him to move against the Boltens. Ramsey had not realized that Jordin Bolten had joined his army but discovered his presence and begin to plot to kill Jordin. Before he could do this Ramsey was fed falce information by Jordin Bolten about a scouting party from Grandlen nearbye which caused Ramsey to camp for an entire day and gave Jamie Lannister enough time to catch Ramsey's force on the bed of the River Creek. Jamie Lannister and his three thousand cavalry would smash into the camp of Ramsey Bolten and in less then twenty minutes nearly the entire force was massacred. It was as everything was falling apart that Ramsey Bolten would switch clothes with his servent Reek of whom he would smash the face of beyond any recegnition so that he could not be found to be not him. When Jamie entered the tent of Ramsey attempting to kill Ramsey or take him prisoner he found nothing but the supposed Reek standing over the destroyed body of "Ramsey Bolten". In that moment Jamie went to kill Reek but was stopped by Jordin Bolten who said to let Reek go as he was nothing but a slave they had captured from the Greyjoy's years past. Trusting Jordin Jamie would let "Reek" go and thus Ramsey Bolten escape the battle and made his way back to the Dreadfort.

House Reyne
See Also : House Reyne

House Reyne is a large Vandal House that lives out of the town of Lannistane, and holds its personal lands west of Lannistane. House Reyne is the vassal house of House Lannister, and despite the fact that they led a rebellion against House Lannister their power as vassal has not decreased.

House Reyne rose to prominence when they assisted House Lannister in the founding of Lannistane, and they then followed the Lannisters for generations until the foolish leadership of Lann Lannister turned them against their lord in House Lannister. House Reyne then engaged in a brutal rebellion alongside two other vassal houses in House which eventually ended in their defeat. With their forces defeated they awaited punishment but Tywin Lannister who controlled the armies of the Lannisters now decided against it and pushed for their closer relationship with the Lannisters.



House Tarbeck

House Tarbeck is a large Vandal House based out of the town of Haelbrooke where they have taken control over the town's leadership. House Tarbeck is the vassal house ofHouse Lannister, and despite being a part of the rebellion against the forces of House Lannister their status as a vassal of the Lannisters has not decreased.

House Tarbeck came to prominence when they journeyed south from Lorraine, and came to found themselves in the eastern part of the valley ofLucerne. During their time here they became very close to House Tyrell, and they formed a barrier on the eastern part of the valley that the Tyrell's used to control the east. This relationship came to an end when during the Driving Tidethe Tyrell's were pushed out of power, and in this moment the members of House Tarbeck silently became independant of the rest of the valley, although this didn't last very long as they were quickly invaded by House Lannister under the pretence of the Lannisters fighting for William Lovie. This siege moved all the way to the village of Haelbrooke where House Tarbeck was centered, and during the siege they were taken control of by the Lannisters. Following this they were loyal until the reign of Lann Lannister and during this time they engaged in a brutal rebellion against the Lannisters but following the rebellion they rejoined the fold, and have regrown their powerbase in Haelbrooke.

House Brax
See Also : House Brax

House Brax is a medium sized Vandal House living within the Kingdom of Lucerne, and dominating Hornvale west of Lannistane. House Brax is one of the premier vassals of House Lannister and in this way they were placed in charge of Hornvale following their loyalty during the events of the Lannister Civil War and since these days they have remained very loyal to House Lannister.

Their shield depicts a purple unicorn on silver, and this is mainly due to an artistic choice over any kind of ideoligical element as many other houses use. House Brax's words are unused, and if they exist they have not been spoken to the general public.

House Brax was one of the original houses to arrive in Lannistane, and there lives there were uneventful until the happening's of the Lannister Civil War. During the Civil War House Brax was one of the very few vassal houses that did not change sides during the conflict, and many members of House Brax died during the conflict trying to help the members of House Lannister. Following the end of the conflict they were given command of Hornvale as a reward, and it would be in Hornvale that there true power would become evident. Under Andros Brax they would expand their holdings in Hornvale and repair most of the damage done to the town during the Civil War, and all of these efforts made them both wealthy but also very popular in the town.

House Prester
See Also : House Prester

House Prester is a large sized Vandal House living within the Kingdom of Lucerne, and living within the city of Lannistane, but maintaining their operations out of Feastfires southward of Lannistane. House Prester came to live in Lannistane where they were a banner house of House Brax for many years until during the Lannister Civil War their leadership proved very important to the Lannisters and when House Brax was rewarded so to was House Prester who was given the rundown castle of Feastfires, and also upgraded to a vassal house.

Their blazon is a red ox on ermine, and has a lot to do with the fact that they are heavy producers of cattle in the lands. Their motto is not mentioned in the books, but according to some sources it is "Tireless".

House Prester was once the banner house of House Brax of whom they followed to the valley of Lucerne during the Great Migration. They remained loyal to the Lannisters alongside their master in House Brax and thus when the Lannisters won they were greatly rewarded alongside their masters in House Brax.
