The Flawed Codd (Succession Game)

Birth and Death Information
Werlag Codd was born on January 1, 7978 to Master Cadwyl Codd and his wife, Gwin. He assumed Lordship of Blue Fork on January 1, 8009 and died of depression on August 30, 8035. Upon his death, his oldest son, Hagen Codd, assumed the titles of House Codd.

Family Matters
Lord Werlag Codd was considered a selfish man, and it was no secret he sought more for himself. Deep down, he wanted to do what he could for his family, but he wanted to benefit first. He was married twice: First to Gwyneth, a lowborn woman from Seven Bridges, and, secondly, to Sylvia Frey, daughter of Lord Patrek Frey, Lord of the Crossing.

With Gwyneth, Werlag had three children. Two sons, Hagen and Erick, as well as a daughter, Yara. With 15-year-old Sylvia Frey, the elderly Werlag father two children. One son, Patrek, and one daughter, Rhonda. Rather than having his oldest son focus on the traditional martial-centered education, Lord Werlag had Hagen educated in more diplomatic areas. Lord Werlag was noted as often saying how his family's name reflected their true status in the Harren-free Riverlands. He could be heard muttering that any of their neighbors were just waiting to fish them out of Blue Fork. With this in mind, he raised his son to me mindful of a more diplomatic approach.

However, when his grandon, Greydon, reached the age that dictated education should start, Werlag decided to have Greydon learn the skills and secrets of warfare and conflict. As he sought a tutor for Greydon, King Aegon Targaryen offered to educate the boy. Werlag decided to accept the offer and Greydon left Seven Bridges the next day for King's Landing. He would not return to King's Landing until his 16th year, when his education had been completed. Greydon returned home, one of the most brilliant military minds of the time, due to Aegon's tutelage and his own natural genius.

Financial Matters
Lord Werlag was a poor administrator of House Codd's incomes. So much so, that he had to take multiple loans to finance his military successes, and failures. Force to pay reparations to two separate houses and because of his own selfishness and inability to invest wisely, Lord Werlag never accrued much wealth. He also did not invest anything in the improvement of his family's holdings in Seven Bridges.

Political Matters
Lord Werlag Codd was not overly adept at public political proceedings, however, he was skilled at political proceedings which required guile, subterfuge or outright manipulations. He paid reparations for failed wars to House Mandrake, previously of Green Fork, and House Keath, formerly of Red Fork, for failed campaigns of claim wars against both.

After two failed wars, Lord Werlag Codd shift his focus to diplomatic means of securing his goals. He friended Lord Illifer Mallister, High Lord of Seagard, and married Sylvia Frey, the daughter of Lord Patrek Frey, High Lord of the Crossing. These two alliances gave Lord Werlag the military and political capital he needed to conquer both the Red Fork and Green Fork a mere five months apart.

Lord Werlag Codd also served as the Spymaster of the Riverlands under Lords Paramount Edmyn and Melwys Tully. Before his death, Lord Werlag had slowly begun to turn the opinions of the other Lords and Ladies of the Riverlands into more favorable sentiments.

Lord Hagen 'the Bewitched' Codd - Played by Vystas


The tumult of Aegon Targaryen's conquest of the Seven Kingdoms drove the Ironborn kings of House Hoare from the Trident, leaving the ruined and charred fortress of Harrenhal as a grim reminder of the price of defiance. It was this political climate that Lord Hagen had been raised during, the eldest son of the sole remaining Ironborn house left within the Riverlands, clinging desperately to a poor strip of land along the Blue Fork, and surrounded by the ambitious and vengeful eyes of its neighbours, who no doubt saw the continued existence of the Codds of the Riverlands as a unwelcome memory of their time under Harren the Black.

His father had provided Hagen with a suitable education for lordly endeavours, lacking however in the martial prowess notable to Ironborn lords, perhaps due to the more volatile environment the House found itself in, making internal quarreling and fighting a dangerous act. In addition to his courtly education passed down to him by his father, Hagen also inherited the rather large number of debts his father had taken on during his time as lord, with the lord's chambers of Seven Bridges being filled with debt collectors just weeks after the passing of Lord Werlag Codd. A great deal of Hagen's early efforts would be spent rectifying the House's finances and preparing his children for their future tribulations following his passing.

Not much happened of note during the brief period when Hagen ruled - his strict adherence to the drowned God earning him the nickname of 'the Bewitched' from his pious Faith of the Seven neighbours, the Lord of Stillfen even going so far as to declare an invasion of House Codd's meagre lands in order to reclaim them for the Faith, though Lord Hagen's careful stewardship of his lands meant that there was more than enough funds on hand to purchase mercenaries to sack and destroy Stillfen, and then immediately claim the lands for the glory of House Codd.

The manner of Hagen's death remains suspicious to this day however, and some speculate that it was his own son that had him murdered, over some petty dispute and no doubt the impatience of the young heir to finally rule in his own stead.

Lord Greydon Codd "The Arrogant" (tentatively) - Played by ZerofighterR
After his father's death, he spent several days re-organising his council and managing his lands. After some negotiations he managed to get Wycombe and Chiltern to be sworn to him, instead of House Tully.

Greydon's father attempted to find ways to conquer Seagard.. However Greydon was succesful where his father failed. He completly crushed the Mallister forces at the Battle of the Blue Fork and walked victoriously trough Seagard, accepting the surrender of the regent there. The Tully's did not do anything against Greydon's aggression.

He attacked again, this time the Blackwoods were his target, and again the Tully's failed to protect their vassals and they lost their lands.

He later got an offer from the Iron Bank to take the Riverlands and pay the Tully's debt to the Iron Bank, lacking manpower, he denied the offer.

Greydon even got appointed as Castellan of Riverrun, leaving his lands to be ruled by his council.

The rest of his rule he spent his gold on upgrading Seagard and creating alliances.

Later in life, he attracted Gonorrhea... and some people said he was turning mad... However he died shortly after at the age of 65.

Lord Aggar Codd 'the Axe of Green Fork' - Played by ProjectKhan
Lord Aggar Codd inherited a mostly stable realm from his father, Lord Greydon, well into his 30's.

However, this sense of stability fell apart when Lady Paramount Ellery Tully invaded The North, pressing Lord Frey's claim on Greywater Watch.

During this conflict, Lord Aggar had to face 3 separate revolts from his vassals, all to depose him. The major conflict was against Lord Wendel Wayn of Chiltern. Both Aggar's army and Lord Wayn's army played cat and mouse, until finally meeting in Green Fork. The battle was fierce and bloody, with the Wayn army being utterly slaughtered by the combined forces of Seagard. After this battle, Lord Aggar Codd would be known as 'the Axe of Green Fork'.

Due to the resources and lives lost during these conflict, Lord Aggar's punishment for Lord Wendel was for him and his three daughters to be executed. As further assurance of house Wayn's loyalty, Lord Aggar took Lord Wendel Wayn's younger brother as a hostage.

Eventually, the war between The Riverlands and The North ended, with Lady Tully the victor. With the Frey's gaining more power and land, rivalry started to grow between house Codd and house Frey. Lord Aggar saw house Frey as a potential threat to house Codd and with the growing border friction, Lord Aggar knew something had to be done about these 'Freys'.

Relations between Lady Paramount Ellery Tully and Lord Simons Frey of the crossing were very strong, so Lord Aggar tested the waters by sending raiding parties to rape and pillage lands south of The Twins. Lady Paramount commanded that Lord Aggar stand down.

However, with both Lord Frey's death and Lady Paramount Tully's death, the Crossing was left with a lunatic Lord and no friends. Lord Aggar Codd raised his levies and seized the lands once belonging to the Frey's, and imprisoned every last person remotely related to the house Frey. Lord Aggar forcefully married one of young Frey bastards by the name of Riona Rivers, until she died in his dungeons.

The rest of Lord Aggar's rule was brutal, but effective, ruling his lands with an iron fist and slaughtering any sign of resistance. There were rumors that Lord Aggar raped many of the women he had captured from The Twins and that they gave birth to many of his bastards.

Lord Aggar Codd, died peacefully in bed, at the age of 66, leaving his sickly son, Donel Codd, to rule.

Lord Paramount Donel Codd - Played by DrewTheTiger
Lord Donel gained his fathers many titles begrudgingly upon his death. As a competent diplomatic figure in his fathers lands, he knew it would cause anger among his vassals holding four high lordships of the Riverlands. So he set his eye upon the Lord Paramouncy of his elderly imprisoned Tully liege.

He also knew that he had failed to properley raise son Ulf to be as good a diplomat as himself. So he took it upon himself to raise as many of his half-brothers, half-sisters and grandchildren himself, so as to prove his competence as a mentor.

During his time as high lord came the Winter Plague that wiped out thousands of westerosis north of Kingslanding. It is believed that the Plague was brought over from Pentos to the capital where killed peasants and the King alike. It from there was brought north on warm winds as far as the neck, before retreating to the south causing even more men, woman, and children of the Riverlands to lose there lives.

Donel began to grow insane from an old tourney wound, and his desire for the seat of the Riverlands grew ever stronger around him. He arranged a marriage between his youngest daughter and the 15 year old Lord Paramount of the Reach, and his sisters marriage to Paramount of the north assured his Victory. His position was only furthered by the news that his liege Lord may have been the product of adultery of his mother.

Lord Donel made his move on the Riverlands, with the help of the Lord of Acorn Ridge, fully expecting that with his foreign allies at his side, there would be little resistance against his coup. However as his ravens flew declaring war, war broke out Kingdom wide as the King Beyond the Wall declared his conquest of the Wall, then, as the King of the boy King of the Iron Throne took up arms to throw back the wildlings, the Lord Paramounts of the West and Iron Islands declared there wars of independence. These wars cause his ally the Reach to be unable to aid him, and the death of his sickly sister broke his ally ship with the North. He was alone and out numbered in his war, and the uneven numbers were worsened when the Lord of the Riverlands created new alliances with his friend Paramount of the Stormlands and his daughters new father in law of the Vale. But Lord Donel was a wise old lunatic, and the death of his wife threw him into a drunken frenzy of spending his vast hoards of gold on men to aid him. Still greatly outnumbered, Lord Donel took his men to battle the Stormland invaders landing in Kanet and successfully threw them back into the sea.

He then took his men, around 22k to defend the lands being besieged around the forks, where he and his best strategic minds chased the largest Riverman host from Blackwood Vale to the Tully's seat of Riverrun, where it became apparent the war had become a battle of sieges.

Lord Dalon's army broke the defense of Riverun before the Valemen and Stormlanders could break Seaguard, and so imprisoned the Tully Lord rendering the war victorious. There was a month of celebration around Westeros as both the new Lord Paramount Dalon, and the King of the Iron Throne had won there wars. Shorty after due to his longstanding illness(not known by any to be Gonorhea), lunacy, drunkard lifestyle and apparent blindness, Lord Dalon past away in his sleep, leaving the new Codd Paramouncy to his only living child Ulf.

King Ulf Codd - Played by Dumbledore
Ulf became the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands at Age 32. He was the only surviving child of his father, but not the most liked. A lot of vassals disliked the man for his known laziness. Also people had a hard time listening to his speech impediment. He was also not liked by his fathers former allies, especially the Reachman, since Reynard Osgrey was convinced that Ulf previously tried to have him killed. Something the man wouldnt even deny, only expressing his disappointment about failing. He couldnt be bothered to try again though.

Not being a very religious man himself Ulf had a weird obsession with the faith and whenever he had enough to deal with his vassals bugging him about things he didnt deem important, he would lock himself in his chambers and study religious texts.

Five months into his reign, his already pregnant wife have birth to a daughter. To please his vassals in a way that wouldnt force him to actually do something he named the Girl Tilly, an old respected name of the rivermen that were sworn to him and his father before him.

At the start of a new year the wall was under attack from the King Beyond the Wall and sent out letters to all the lords of the realm. Ulf was sure they could handle a few snarks and grumpkins themselves - an opinion he never changed for the rest of his life, while the Watch was constantly under attack from the Wildlings. After all - in his mind - thats what the watch was there for in the first place. He was also infamous for his unwillingness to EVER in ANY way participate in tourneys. He never joined one and not once in his life even attended one - adding to the negative opinion the riverlords had already.

Two years later he faced the first great challenge in his rule as Lord Paramount. He had recently fallen ill and when word reached the Lannisters, the young ambitious Lord declared war upon the weakened riverlands for a claim on pinkmaiden. The Armies of Casterly Rock were massive, about twice as much men that were willing to fight for Ulf, but even his sickness and laziness could not stop Ulf from defending his realm. Luckily while marching to meet the Lannister host he had gotten better, taking it as a sign that the Seven favoured him. Shortly afterwards news reached him that the Lannisters had split their main force into two big armies, one attacking the land he desired, the other marching over the crag. In a short and bloody battle Ulf and his men butchered the men that tried to sneak into the riverlands through the northern parts of their realm. Every single man that was in that army was killed, even those that tried to run away where hunted down and slaughtered. After such a big victory the morale was high. The Westerlands had quality, but the Riverlands had the better fighters. At least with the soldiers Ulf gained a lot of favor.

Even then Ulf decided to hire the Iron Shields to complement his army before meeting the Lannisters on the field. But for two more years there would be no actual battle. Somehow the Lannister amassed another host that joined the first one. Together they pillaged the lands of Pinkmaiden and stoney sept. Ulf was a very patient man and he outright refused to lose a war to the Westerlands. He waited and waited. Two long years for the lannister host to die out to attrition. Starvation. Injuries by accidents. Guerilla Attacks. Sickness. He laid siege to Harroway Town which was sworn to the Lion and when his scouts spotted the enemy moving he would fall back to lannister, around the gods eye, trying to liberate his sieged castles. His men grew impatient, everyone but the mercenaries who quite enjoyed a lot of gold for doing nothing. Lord Lannister never saw what was coming for him. He played right into the Cards of Ulf, letting his men waste away. Only when the Lannister Host has shrunken to the size of his own and the coffers of the Riverlands could not afford to pay the Iron Shields for much longer he engaged the enemy - and utterly crushed them. With only a few thousand Lannister soldiers remaining, Ragnor Rivers, a Bastard of House Codd asked Ulf if he could join the Nights Watch. He didnt really care so he let them. With the Lannister men being crushed Ulf decided to offer the Westerlands a white peace, of course the young lion accepted quickly

Not having received any help from the young King Addam Baratheon, even though the Westerlander war cost many lives, he started to resent the rule of the white haired king - which was the reason he quickly joined a plot to Investigate his legitimacy, in the hopes of installing a King who would pay more attention to Westerlander aggression and pay more attention to his House - which wasnt obviously quiet as well established as the other Lord Paramounts.

Only one year at a great feast the Lord Lannister spoke Ill of Ulf. A lot of Lords thought the conflict would escalate right there and then, but Ulf remained calm, instead he made plans to have the Lion murdered as soon as the feast was over - sadly one of his most trusted men at the enemy court, got drunk one evening and blurted all of it out. King Addam was less then happy and retracted the vassalage of Greywater Watch from him. Ulf knew it was no time to fight the whole realm so he grudgingly accepted, but in that instance for the first time in his life, he utterly despised being sworn to somebody and had a dream that night about a crown on his head.

However before anything could happen he had to finally deal with his rebellious vassals. He was 42 at that point and for some reason the High Septon seemed to hold a grudge against him. rallying his vassals to significantly reduce his power by granting the twins to somebody else. Obviously he refused such demands. Many of his men were loyal and his enemies werent organized. He quickly killed hundreds in battle. The High Septon at one point even had it in him to demand that prisoners of war would be released, because they were Septons. Since even those Septons swung a sword once, Ulf only released his head and sending it back, making very clear that he didnt engage in religious studies because he was a very faithful man. He just was interested in it. Ulf and his Host marched to Kings Landing, straight to the Sept. King Addam opened the gates to the city, rather than trying to defend against an already assembled host of that size. The High Septon was dragged out of the sept, thrown into a prison cell and then taken back to Seagard. When he there asked for more appropriate commendations he was thrown into the oubliette where he died two months later. The rebellious lords of the Trident, Erenford and Riverrun were all sent to the Wall as punishment - while Ulf refused to send his own men to help, he still believed the Wall had some merit.

While all of this happened Tilly had gotten a younger sister and was being raised as heir to Seagard. While it still was possible to Ulf to have a son, he decided he would rather have a disappointed daughter then an incompetent ruling Lady. But then his wife got pregnant and he hoped to finally get the son he always wanted.

Only a few days later a message from the Wall reached him and he was about to burn it in the fires as he got used to do when he realized that this one was different. A black brother plotted to kill the King and hoped for his support - support he certainly got. Then FINALLY his wife bore him a son. He named the sickly boy Cadron after the founder of House Codd, sure that a boy with such a proud name could survive infancy no matter what.

From there on he started to play his Game of Crowns. Still while planning to kill the Baratheon King, he bethrohed his second Daughter Munda to him, shortly after his second son Rüdiger had been born. A month later the Black Brother send word that the King will be assassinated, skewered by arrows - a plan that actually went through. People soon tracked down Bronn Waters at the Wall, but he kept quiet about who he worked with him and never got any punishment. Now Queen Serenei inherited, the weak sister of the old King, already married and with child, the next Queen in Line would be Serra Condon.

He married Tilly to the Reachlord instead. Then he provoked the Tullys of Riverrung, until the dwarf Trout dared declare a Revolt against him. Ulf took Riverrun from him, then he send the dwarf to the wall, before moving his main court to Riverrun. For a lot of Lords in the Riverlands the Castle had some sort of significance, since it was the seat of power for a long time and now it was again. To appease his family a bit he created the House Codd of The Twins, now ruled by the former Lord of the Freylands, who was a distant kinsman.

Twenty years into his reign something happened Ulf would have never expected, after a long time the Queen decided to name Lord Blackmont the Prince of Dorne. Two years later, twenty years after the Lannisters attacked him, Ulf finally had the confidence in his alliances that he took revenge. While the old lord died without any children it was his brother that now ruled and the Riverlord intended to take back Harrowaytown. The Reach and The Stormlands agreed to help him and so it was a war that massively favored the Codds. Ulf was still leading men into battle and even though he got an arrow to the knee he did not retire to be a City Guard. It took only 5 days for the wound to heal completely and him charging back into battle. The war was short. The Westerlander army completely decimated. He surrendered. The Queen however had some tough times, getting her lords to be as loyal as they were to her brother. The Stormlord even sat together with Ulf in their campaign one evening, stating that he would like independence. In the year 133 AC Ulf sent a letter to Kings Landing. Demanding that his independence would be recognized and that he, the Stormlord and their sons after them would be Kings. Queen Baratheon did not try to convince them otherwise, so Ulf styled himself King Ulf the first of his name. King of the Trident and Lord of the Riverlands, Lord of Riverrun and Protector of the Realm. King Ulf Codd in short.

For the next few years all was well in the new Kingdom, but then Ulf... wanted more. He called a great council, where it was decided that they would add the Westerlands to their realm - mainly to slight the Lannister and either force them to swear fealty to House Codd or die out. Ulf thouht the Stormlands and the Reach would surely support him. The Reach actually answered his call to arms, but the Stormking refused to help and would later contribute greatly to the failure of the campaign. However unexpected Help came from the Starks of Winterfell and the Greyjoys who claimed that Ulfs cause was just and took arms against their Queen. For a long time the campaign seemed to go well, but then Falyse, the mother of all of Ulfs five children died. His armies still won battle after battle but Ulf himself was seen less and then... the Reach got attacked by the Stormking. The Reach fielded the most troops for the Queens Campaign and she had recently found a lot of young men willing to fight for her. They started to lose ground, ten of thousands of men died and Ulf decided to seek peace before the Queen realized she could easily win and pull him back into the Realm of the Iron Throne. He suggested peace under the condition that his youngest son Rüdiger and the Heiress to the Iron Throne would marry. The Baratheon queen accepted. The Riverlander host marched back home into the lands that were ruled solely by the codds when by raven a call to arms arrived from the Queen. The message was brought before Ulf, but he was unusually slumped in his throne. He had passed away, falling asleep and never waking on his own throne. The Crown he worked for, still on his head and left his son Cadron to rule.

King Cadron Codd - Played by Cucumber
King Cadron Codd came into his throne at the age of six and ten. He was a boy of ambition, and from the onset sought to earn the backing of his vassals. Such events include his Coronation Feast, the Summer Festival of 145 AC, and the Tourney of 148 AC. Cadron had his eyes set on ambitious prizes, such as his wife's Aemma Arryn's Vale, and the large expansive North. To make sure he had solid backing he feasted and praised his lords for the better part of five years. By the end of his reign Lords that enjoyed his favor called him Codron "the Generous." Still others despised the Cods and named him Cadron the Craven. Cadron also sought to earn the trust of his allies, particularly Storm King Myles Buckler. Cadron called his banners and rushed to Myle's aid when the Storm King sought to take a fertile chunk of the reach away from Queen Serra Condon. Conrad won several notable victories, such as his rout of Lord Commander Lucifer Manwoody's host at Nightsong, or his victory at Stony Sept where he killed Lord Kennos Lorch in single combat.

Finally in 148 AC he launched an invasion of the Vale. The Storm King socked Cadron by withholding support, but Cadron was undeterred. The Vale was locked in battle with the North over the Three Sisters, and as such had his attention divided. King Cadron won a victory at the Battle of Crow's Barrens, breaking Lord Andar Arryn's host. He besieged the Eyrie and Longbow Hall, before the regrouped Arryn army finally defeated him there at Longbow.

With his men routed, and support dwindling, King Cadron sought a peace whilst he still eld much of the Vale hostage. His grip was shaky, but Andar did not know that. A peace was settled and King Cadron was at square one again. Next he set his eyes on the Iron Islands themselves. They were weak, after barely winning their own independence from the Iron Throne. Furthermore it would would satisfy Cadron's pride to see the very people who scorned his family brought to kneel.

Preparations were made, but never saw fruit. While garnering support again at a tourney, King Cadron found himself impaled in a tourney. In a tilt against Ser Bryan Bracken, Ser Bryan's lance found a gap in the King's armor. The King lingered for two days before succumbing from his wounds. King Cadron was twenty and eight when he died, and his ambition died with him.

Queen Brella 'the tyrant' Codd - Played by Hilleri
Queen Brella came to the throne at in 31st of january in 150 AC at a tender age of 7. She was educated by her kinsman lord reaver Dagmer 'the just' of the trident and ruled by two regents. and old man Kennoth Ryger and after him Lord reaver Androw III of bay of claws.

In her youth she was trained to care abaot her family but she also learned joy of money, mastery of deceit and ambition from her guardian. Also during her youth she had a teenage romance with young Kennoth Ryger at her court which developed into full romace in their adulthood.

Lord Androw was a greedy man, and so by his power as regent he took the castle of Coddmarsh and both lordship and high lordship of Seagard to himself becoming the strongest lord in the Trident. During her regency there were 2 small pesant revolts in Lolliston and Shoreham but were quickly taken down.

In october 27th 157 AC Summer Islanders launched invasion to independet Dorne. Both sides seemed to be equally matched but Summer Islanders seemed to be taking upper hand. Year after in august Lord Androw's regency ended and Queen Brella took prince Ricasso Blackmont's third son Gascoyne Blackmont as her husband by matrilenial marriage and was inclined to aid in this war. But Blackmont's of Westerlands made it to dorne first and ended the war quickly.

Not long after Queen Brella decided to take back the lands that was hers before Lord Androw took them. He refused and a war begun, soon to end. Lord Androw was imprisoned and the stolen titles returned. But after this Queen Brella feared for Androws retribution and decided to exile him to the wall which was taken as an act of tyranny by her vassals and soon she became to be known as 'the tyrant' more of a mockery than a curse.

Queen Brella had 5 children. Firstborn and stillborn Yara, firstborn son Erich, second son Ulf After his grandfather, thirdborn Qhorwyn and fourthborn Bennarion. Queen never was sure herself were the children her husbands or her lovers but no one never suspected a thing.

In Janyary 7th 1872 when Queen was walking on the walls of her castle, a railing broke loose as she was leaning on it it. At the age of thirty and reign of two-and-twenty she fell to her death. Whispers say that it was an assassination. some accuse exiled lord Androw and some his grandson and heir, some say it was one of her discontent vassal and some say it was purely and accident or the carpenter of the railing. All say that truth will likely never be known.

King Erich Codd - Played by Djyoeris
King Erich came to the throne at age 10. He was educated by his Northern maester and starting from a young age became interested in foreign cultures and religions. Unlike his mother. King Erich had only one regent, Lord Reaver Dagmer Codd, the lord of the twins. During his youth Erich's father propsed a marriage to Erich's cousin. Erich was trained by his maester in theoretical and practical warfare, becoming a skilled fighter and a tough soldier. During his youth Maester Dustin took Erich to a foreign tourney. That is where Erich saw Maera Velaryon and her dragon. The years after the tourney Erich fascinated about Valyria and Valyrians. Eventually King Erich got married at age 14 to his cousin, who was 17 at the time.

A few years into his reign, Erich discovered his wife was a lesbian. He did not care though as they both learned to love eachother. King Erich participated in several tourneys. During his rule he only managed to win one tourney, this is also where he got knighted. King Erich enjoyed the tourneys even though he lost most of them, he liked talking to the people, be it peasant or noble.

Around age 25 King Erich left his brother Ulf in charge of his Kingdom while Erich himself studied at the Citadel for a while. He had multiple links, including a Valyrian Steel link. Like i mentioned before Erich had a deep fascination for Valyria and Valyrians, the most important ones being Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wifes. During this time Erich's father usurped the Westerlands from the Blackmonts that were ruling it and a few months later Erich's father pressed his claim on Dorne, conquering it. This left Erich to inherit the principality of Dorne. The westerlands were given to one of Erich's brothers. As a reward for ruling in his stead, Ulf codd was given the lordship of Rushmoor, Erich and Ulf were close and Ulf eventually became the master-at-arms and a trusted commander. This proved to be wise as Erich wanted the swords of Aegon the conqueror and Visenya. He didn't manage to locate them, but he did manage to locate another Valyrian Steel sword, Truth, owned by House Rogare. Like a true Ironborn Erich marched into Lys with his men and took the sword for House Codd. King Erich gave two of his children Valyrian names, but refused to take over the Valyrian custom of Incest, which some Codds already practiced. King Erich had 3 children with his wife. Brella was the first daughter and first child of Erich, she was born sickly and died a year after she was born. Astrid was the second daughter and was being groomed to inherit the kingdom. Rhaenys was the third and last daughter of Erich, she inherited her mother's Valyrian features. Aegon Rivers was born to King Erich and a pretty maid serving at Riverrun. Being the only son of Erich, he was legitimized. Upsetting Erich's wife and Astrid. Two years later, Erich would die in a tourney at age 30, impaled by a lance that managed to find a gap between his armor, dying the same way his grandfather did. There were a few that wanted Astrid to inherit as she was almost an adult, but many agreed with Erich's decision to legitimize Aegon.

Thus leaving the two year old King Aegon Codd with Ulf Codd as his regent.

King Aegon the Eagle - Played by Jbutton
King Aegon's rule began in the year 191AC and ended in 249AC, his reign of 58 years made him one of the longest ruling Codd's in their history and certainly the longest ruling since Aegon's conquest. His rule saw him steer his Kingdom through good times and bad times and his exploits would certainly rank him as one of the greatest Codd rulers in their families deep history.

Ascending the throne at aged 2, his regent and uncle, Lord Ulf Codd ruled in his stead with the assistance of Dowager Queen Della. Queen Della was named Hand to appease Lord Ulf's rivals at court. Della was of low birth and mostly agreed with Lord Ulf in his many decisions, some speculated that there was a romance going on there but King Aegon noted that he had no reason to believe these washer women rumours.

192AC - The first notable incident that occurred during King Aegon's rule was the death of his grandfather, Gascoyne Codd, Prince of Dorne. The death of the Prince meant that Aegon's sister Astrid would inherit the throne based on Dornish law as she was the elder of the two. This infuriated Lord Ulf Codd but his grievances never left the small council table. Shortly after becoming the Princess of Dorne, Astrid Codd writes to Riverrun for help against a rebel Martell-led faction, Lord Ulf gathers a host of 10,000 men and places them under the command of Hugo Lolliston who was a renowned commander and skilled warrior.

193AC - Hugo Lolliston engages the army of Lia Martell at Plankytown after she had captured the town with her 13,000 strong army. With the greater numbers, Lia Martell leaves her defensive position in an attempt to crush Hugo Lolliston, her gambit failed and Hugo Lolliston crushed her army with lesser numbers. Later in the year, Hugo Lolliston captures Gods Grace and takes Martell's as prisoners but Lia Martell is still at large. Hugo gains information from the Martells in return for their release, they state that she is hiding out at the Tor. Hugo leads his seasoned warriors to the Tor and is ambushed by Lia Martell. The ensuing battle was bloody but decisive. With her armies scattered, Lia Martell surrenders and is imprisoned by Astrid Codd. Hugo returns to Riverrun and is named Master-At-Arms.

194AC - The Queen mother petitions to court to allow her to be the sole carer for her son and oversee his education. Lord Ulf reluctantly agreed so long as he dedicated an hour of his day to training with Hugo Lolliston. The Queen mother agreed and taught her son the ways of diplomacy and intrigue.

Later in the year, rumours begin to circulate that Aegon's sisters, Astrid and Rhaenys were in fact bastards. Several prominent people within the realm came forward and presented evidence of their suspicions. Dowager Queen Della, who was not mother to Aegon's sisters, agreed that they were bastards and Lord Ulf confirmed that King Erich had told him that they were not his trueborn children but for him to keep it secret. Lord Ulf decreed that King Aegon's sisters were bastards, although Rhaenys was still held in the same regard as she was before this incident, particularly because of the bond her and Aegon shared.

199AC - After a few years of peace and tranquillity, "the lesser Codd Kingdom" (as it was known in King Aegon's memoirs), was once again plunged into war. Lord Paramount Qhorwyn Codd, known as the Fist of Casterly Rock, declared that he was the true ruler over the Dornish led Kingdom and petitioned to King Aegon and Lord Ulf for their assistance. Lord Ulf also received a plea for help from Princess Astrid to aid her instead. Lord Ulf and Dowager Queen Della talked over who they should help. They decided to help Princess Astrid however these reasons were never made known to King Aegon nor were they made known to the rest of the realm.

Once again Lord Hugo Lolliston leads his veteran army in the vanguard and marches on Casterly Rock from Riverrun. He finds himself marching unopposed and lays siege to Casterly Rock. Elsewhere, Lord Ulf leads the main Riverland army to Dorne. His army lands in Spotswood to prepare to meet up with Princess Astrids host, however, Qhorwyn Codd leads his Westerman army on the offensive and strike first, soundly defeating Lord Ulf despite having lesser numbers. Lord Ulf retreats to Plankytown where he devises a plan. Lord Qhorwyn's army pursues Lord Ulf and engages him at Plankytown, Lord Ulf holds the army for several days whilst Ser Ragnar, another renowned warrior, flanks Lord Qhorwyn. Lord Qhorwyn's army is shattered and completely routed, 20,000 westerman were slain. Lord Qhorwyn managed to escape and stow away on a merchant ship, which he used to flee to Casterly Rock. When he arrived, he found that the Rock had surrendered to Lord Hugo upon which Lord Qhorwyn gave up and surrendered to Princess Astrid, whom imprisoned him.

202AC - This was a year that cemented King Aegon as the most powerful boy man in Westeros. Princess Astrid died under suspicious circumstances aged 24, leaving King Aegon to inherit Dorne and the Westerlands from her as she left no issues. King Aegon's memoirs gave no indication to who he suspected killed her, however, they also gave no indication that he knew the circumstances surrounding her death. All that was write was as followed.. "My sister has passed, Rhaeny's wept for the both of us, I am glad it was not her."

Later in the year a man from the Iron Bank came, claiming Astrid had taken a loan from them and that the debt needed to be settled. Lord Ulf reluctantly paid off Astrid's debts.

204AC - King Aegon noted in his memories of Lord Ulf that during this year Tyros Lannister had attacked Lord Qhorwyn Codd for his claim on the Westerlands. As King Aegon was nearing the end of the regency, he privately questioned why Lord Ulf allowed this to happen and as a result became suspicious of his regent.

205AC - King Aegon assumed total control over his vast Kingdom, dismissing Lord Ulf from court for more able advisors. He declares his love for his half-sister, Rhaenys and against the wishes of his closest advisors, he marries her out of love. Rhaenys informs King Aegon that she is pregnant weeks after their wedding.

206AC - The year starts of in heartbreak for King Aegon as Tyta Codd is stillborn. The heartache brings the two together more than ever and is said to be the start of their formidable relationship. Angered by the gods and frustrated with the world, King Aegon joins a tourny and defeats many men. His anger would get the better of him as a cooler and calmer opponent is able to defeat him. King Aegon finishes third and is knighted on the field.

With anger still in his heart and some words of encouragement from his closest advisors. King Aegon launches an invasion of the Reach to claim the Torrentine which had been taken from the Dornish some time ago. The cunning move would help solidify his rule over the Dornish people. At this point in time, Queen Melessa of the Reach was already at war with The Storm King, however his grand plan was thrown into doubt as Tyros Lannister failed to muster his men in time and thus missed out on the war.

207AC - The year started off great for King Aegon, Lord Ulf was given command of the vanguard and marched from Harrenhal into the Reach. His army was outflanked by Queen Melessa forces at Bramsfort but Lord Ulf was able to fend off and defeat the two armies despite their 7,000 men advantage. The veteran army that had once been lead by Lord Hugo Lolliston was under the command of King Aegon who, with the aid of Hugo Lolliston, leads his men into Tumbleton to smash the 32,000 man Reach host there. Later in the year, Lord Ulf would capture Inchfield and Queen Melessa who surrenders and signs over the Torrentine back to the Dornish. During the battle of Tumbleton, King Aegon is wounded and knocked from his horse, Ser Trebor Yronwood moved in to save the King, slaying atleast three highborn nobles who tried to claim the Kings head. As reward, Ser Trebor Yronwood was given command of all the Dornish lands, ruling from Sunspear.

208AC - Iron King Ragnar saw that the Riverlands was weakened by the war against the West and took the opportunity to launch a large raiding operation across the Riverlands. With a small host of his veteran warriors, King Aegon personally sought out a raiding party at Kanet. King Aegon was able to get the upper-hand against the disorganised Iron Born raiders and captured King Ragnar. King Ragnar was beheaded on the battlefield and no raiders from the Iron Isle's was seen on the Riverland shores for the rest of his reign.

209AC - Birth of Lucias Codd

210AC - Tyros Lannister, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, dies from the plague.

211AC - Twins are born to King Aegon. Future Queen Bea and Rormund the Dwarf. Later in the year King Aegon would enter his second tourny and defeat all opponents, his first win.

213AC - Qhorwyn Codd petitions to court that he should be the ruler of the Westerlands once more. The Lord Paramount was a weak boy and so King Aegon agreed that Tyros Lannisters attack on Qhorwyn Codd was treason and posthumously named him a traitor to the realm. The Lannisters would surrender their title without a fight.

214AC - Eusion Codd, the King's favourite son is born. King Aegon would hold a Grand Tourny to celebrate, Lord Morgarth Donniger wins.

218AC - Lord Lancel Crakehall petitions to court for the invasion of the Northmarch for his undisputed claim to rule. The Northmarch should have passed to the Crakehall's but for a "bastards" claim. King Aegon agrees that this is unjust and launches a second campaign against the Reach.

Before the invasion gets under way, Lord Qhorwyn Codd mysteriously dies and is succeeded by his one year old son, Wulfgar Codd. This disrupts the invasion with the Westerland army unsure who to follow and delays their march by some time. King Aegon leads three Riverland armies into the Reach and is defeated 5 successive times on the Reach-Westerlands border. With the outcome looking uncertain, King Aegon launches one final gambit to draw the Reach army into unfavourable territory. The gambit succeeded and King Aegon, at the head of 42,000 men is able to crush the 51,000 Reach army at Long Table, completely routing the enemy with only 2,000 men lost. With 40,000 men marching on the capital, Queen Melessa, for the second time in her reign, surrenders to King Aegon.

221AC - With the death of King Daryn on the Iron Throne in 217AC, Lord Stark looked to gain more power in his realm and launched a campaign to take the Vale. After a long and bloody war, Lord Stark captures and kills the Arryn family, seizing the Vale for himself. Jamie Arryn flees the war and after sometime comes into the court of King Aegon asking for his help to reclaim the Vale in return for his fealty. King Aegon agrees to help Lord Jaime and launches his first invasion against the Iron Throne.

222AC - King Aegon smashes the Royal Army as they invade the Saltpans but takes an arrow to the chest and is forced to withdraw from battle. Princess Nymeria becomes commander-in-chief and oversees the defence of the Twins against the invading Northern and Royal Army. Nymeria turns back the Northern army thrice and routs the Royal Army, capturing King Lonnel Condon in the process. He duly surrenders and Jaime Arryn becomes Lord of the Vale.

225AC - King Aegon arranges for his eldest son and heir Lucias and his eldest daughter Bea to marry.

226AC - King Aegon retires from military affairs for unknown reasons. It is rumoured that in later life he became afraid of the battlefield because it was foretold that if he fought another battle he would be killed. Though these rumours have no substance as no record of this was ever found in his memoirs, although some speculate that they were erased.

Later that year, the future King that never was, Aegon Codd is born to Lucias and Bea.

234AC - King Aegon inherits the Westerlands from Wulfgar Codd and names his youngest but favourite son, Euson Codd, as Lord Paramount of the Westerlands. Overlooking his other sons. Lord Euson is also named Hand of the King and granted the ancestral sword Truth.

246AC - Lord Lucias dies from the plague, leaving King Aegon with a daughter, a dwarf and a child as potential heirs. King Aegon calls a Grand Council to decide this matter. King Aegon hopes that Lord Euson will be chosen as heir but Princess Bea is unanimously supported as heir and so it is decreed as such.

249AC - King Aegon finds a girl under a bush and proclaims her to be his daughter. King Aegon would later die a natural death that year, leaving Queen Bea to rule.

The Life and Death of King Aegon the Eagle - Written by Grand Maester Jack

Queen Bea 'the Bewitched' Codd - played by Yaman
Bea came to power of the throne at age the late age of thirty-eight, born from King Aegon 'the Eagle' Codd, and Queen Rhaenys Codd. She was married to Lord Lucias who died at thirty-seven years old of the Great Plague not too late from her rising to queen-ship which left her depressed and widowed for most of her reign. Being donned the same nickname 'the Bewitched' late in her reign for her madness as she soon became a lunatic. After the death of her father, she was voted by the Great Council of the Trident to choose a new heir where Bea was agreed by all the members and made the new House Head of House Codd, and ruler of the Trident.

In the beginning of her reign, her heir was Prince Aegon Codd the firstborn son and child of Lord Lucias, and Queen Bea. She was loved by most of her vassals which allowed her to muster a large force, the biggest force in Westeros, that could not be rivaled at all. She was a massive zealot which made her to begin to stuff her nose into the history of Westeros, and aswell with religion and focus on becoming a better scholar, which made her build a observatory in Riverrun to begin looking at the stars, and the skies of Westeros. But soon a grievance struck, the heir of the Kingdom, Prince Aegon died of a illness leaving the heir to become the giant and great martial commander, Prince Dunnet Codd. As she built the Observatory it finally was complete and she began to study the stars and started to become more cynical and began to lose her feeling of religious fervor, her study of the stars seemed to effect her as she but as she was in the observatory studying the stars spending many of her time in the night studying them which made her become more stressed with her reign.

But she was soon given two letters of declarations of wars, a large scale peasant revolt in the Vale, and a liberation revolt for Dorne, but even though these revolts we're very large, years of fighting in her Kingdom, she would crush the peasant revolt and the liberation revolt which would ultimately consolidate her power as Queen of the Trident. But one day her people noticed something different about her, as she seemed to no longer be depressed but now.. insane, a lunatic. But one day she recieved another letter but this time from the High Septon has he had heard of her studying of the stars and sharing ideas which we're clearly against God. After her death in her observatory could be found her books which clearly shared her discoveries she found late night staying in there, and in the margins of her books, scralled in them we're her crazily writing that she knew a location to find a dragon egg, but she didn't know if she was ready, and so on so forth in a mad manner. She soon finished studying the stars as she became more of a scholar and became to focus on ruling her Kingdom.

Soon another grievance struck the Kingdom.. Prince Dunnet Codd died of poor health leaving his son, to become the heir. Prince Lucias Codd, only 12 years old.

But Bea wouldn't be allowed to live any longer as she soon died at fifty years old in her sleep, leaving the Kingdom to be ruled by King Lucias Codd, with the regent being the Hand of the King, Euson 'the Eagle' Codd.

Bea didn't accomplish anything significant during her rule only ruling for twelve years.
