House Reed of Greywater Watch #1 - "We swear it by ice and fire"
Welcome to the 1st House Reed of Greywater Watch Thread  source       source  source ------------------------------------------------- House Reed of Greywater Watch is a vassal house that holds fealty to House Stark of Winterfell. House Reed is the southern-most house of the North. They control the vast area of swampland and bog stretching across the narrowest part of the continent of Westeros, the Neck. The crannogmen of the Neck are gifted and talented hunters and warriors. They have an ages-old feud with House Frey, who rule the lands immediately to the south. The Reeds came to the attention of their liege lords, House Stark, when Howland Reed met Eddard Stark at a tournament at Harrenhal. Howland Reed and Eddard Stark became fast friends and allies. Aside from Eddard, Howland was the only survivor of the raid at the Tower of Joy, on the occasion of Lyanna Stark's death. The Reed stronghold at Greywater Watch is hard to find because it supposedly moves around on a floating island. Quote:

I love this House too. I can't wait to learn more about them and to hopefully get more Howland.
        she is like a cat in the dark Transcript of the vid: Mud men. Oak devils. Those are just the more pleasant names our fellow northerners have for us. The cranick men who live in the swamps of the Neck. Because we do not live in castles like them. Because we do not farm like them. Because we are not tall or rich like them. But through our veins flows the same blood of the First Men… and at times even something more. We still live much as they did on floating islands in houses of thatch and woven reeds. We fish, hunt, and tell our children of our heroes. The Knight of the Laughing Tree who fought in the year of the false spring. The last Marsh King who challenged the Starks and lost his crown and his daughter. And other stories, older still, since lost to the world. The Neck was not always a swamp. In the Dawn Age is was as dry and fertile as the rest of the North. But during the war with the First Men, the Children of the Forest brought down the hammer of waters on the Neck trying to break Westeros in two. When the waters receded, they left the bogs and swamps we know today. Many of the First Men decided to fight on. But my ancestors wisely decided to heed the children's power and advance no farther. They beat their swords into frog spears and fish hooks , and settled the land forever devastated by the folly of war. Unlike the rest of Westeros, we keep no garrisons and raise no soldiers for petty spats with our neighbors. Our land protects its own. An outsider in the Neck will find an endless morass of suckholes, quicksand, and green grass that look solid to the unwary eye, but turns to water the instant you tread on it. If you're lucky enough to be armored, you'll only drown in you own steel. If you're not, you'll get to meet what swims in that water. Serpents and monstrous lizard-lions with teeth like daggers and never enough to eat. Don't worry. Only your horse will live long enough to feel their poisons flowing through it. If you somehow survive all this, you may find that a well placed dart can be as deadly as any blade. Since the fall of the last Marsh King, House Reed has ruled the Neck beneath the banner of a black lizard-lion on a grey-green field. We are not wealthy, powerful, or known — even to our own countrymen. Our home, Greywater Watch, is no castle you’ve ever seen, and seeing it once does not mean you’ll ever find it again… for Greywater Watch moves. Many would-be conquerors died trying to find us. With war all around and our Stark lord beseiged on all sides, many more will doubtless soon try. They will look at us on a map and see a stranglehold for the North and they will forget that the sea itself once entered the Neck and not all of it returned. __________________

        House Reed - “To Winterfell we pledge the faith of Greywater. Hearth and heart and harvest we yield up to you, my lord. Our swords and spears and arrows are yours to command. Grant mercy to our weak, help to our helpless, and justice to all, and we shall never fail you.” Havo dad, Khaleesi __________________
