History

Ser Artys was lord of his house at the time of the Valyrian Freehold’s expansion into the eastern kingdom of Myrth. After receiving word of the destruction of cities such as Dyaesar, Vyrario, and Tregillis, Artys met with Armistead Vance and agreed to join the Andal host fleeing west. Together with other houses, House Brax launched the Purple Fleet, a mass exodus of ships carrying people, supplies, and livestock from the port of Foraan.

Artys personally commanded his ship during the voyage across the Narrow Sea, leading his household through flame and chaos. Upon arriving in Westeros, he settled with his house near Castle Armistead, where he became one of Lord Vance’s trusted bannermen.
