Line 1:

Lord Corwyn Corbray is the founder of a new Andal dominion in the Vale, a seasoned war leader who refused a crown but built a realm nonetheless. Once a knight of fading Andalos, he carved out a future in blood, determined to give his people a home before their past was lost to Valyria’s flame.

== Personality ==

Corwyn is bold and practical. He believes in fate, so long as it is the kind a man forges himself. Though some call him an opportunist, he sees himself as a builder of futures, not a breaker of oaths. To him, the First Men are trapped in the past, bound by blood feuds and savage gods, while the Andals offer order and progress. Ruthless when he must be, he is never without reason, and never without a goal. He has no time for petty sentiment, but he is not without honour, only that he has a tendency to redraw the lines of what honour means to suit his ambitions.

== History ==

Thirty years ago, Corwyn Corbray led a host of Andals across the Narrow Sea, abandoning a fading homeland to carve out something new in Westeros. Valyria's shadow crept ever closer to Andalos, and Corwyn would not see his people ground into ash or chained to foreign wars. Landing in the Fingers, he and his fellow knights first fought for the petty kings of the Vale, then turned against them. He was no traitor to his cause, the cause had simply changed.

In the storm of war, the old lords were swept aside. Among the first to fall were Houses Brightstone and Shell, whose leaders were slain and whose lands were seized. Corwyn allowed their widowed wives to remain, taking one for his own wife, and the other for his bed.<ref> George R. R. Martin, The World of Ice and Fire, (Random House Worlds, 2014) p. 163.</ref>

Corwyn refused any crown, but his word became law from Midlor Point to the highlands beneath the Giant’s Lance. His victories were not just for himself, but for the entire Andal host who came in his wake.
