State of the Realm

The realm exists in a state of relative peace though dark clouds are on the horizon, as the powers of the continent stir into action. Only time will tell what the future holds.

The Kingdom of Winter
Current Ruler:

House Stark rules the North.

The Kingdom of Mountain and Vale
Current Ruler: Godfrey Arryn

House Arryn rules the Vale from atop their mountain.

The Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers
Current Ruler: Andrik Hoare

House Hoare sits proudly as king of the Iron Islands and the Trident.

The Kingdom of the Rock
Current Ruler: Tymond Lannister

House Lannister rules the Westerlands from their citadel of Casterly Rock.

The Kingdom of the Reach
Current Ruler: Luthor Gardener

House Gardener sits the throne in Highgarden, though King Luthor faces mounting pressure from the Faith of the Seven and others about the paternity of his heir.

The Kingdom of the Storm
Current Ruler:

House Durrandon sits as Kings of the Stormlands.

The Principality of Dorne
Current Ruler: Morgan Martell

House Martell remains firmly in place in the Sandship, ruling over Dorne. Recently, the Prince's heir, Ser Mors Martell, was murdered during a tourney at Sunspear with the Mystery Knight escaping capture.

The Blackwater Confederation
Current Ruler: Ysabel Rykker

The Lords of the Blackwater, lead by the Lord Protector, live independent from the Kingdoms of Westeros. Initially lead by House Darklyn, they managed to break free from the grasp of House Hoare following a war between the Stormlands and Trident and maintain autonomy along the shores of Blackwater Bay. They are not kings, lest they draw enough attention to themselves to pose any sort of threat to the Kingdom of Isles and Rivers. They are bound loosely together by the Blackwater Pact.

The Lords of the Narrow Sea
Current Ruler: Aerion Targaryen

House Targaryen, perched at Dragonstone, eye the Seven Kingdoms with hungry eyes.
