House Corbray

Line 8:

Upon landing in the Fingers, Corwyn and his men entered a land fractured by infighting. Petty kings of the First Men warred over sparse holdings, hills, woods, and fishing coves. Seeing opportunity amidst disorder, the Andals abandoned their oaths to their would be liege lords and seized these lands by force. Corwyn himself led the conquest of the Fingers, defeating local rulers Dywen Shell and Jon Brightstone, both of whom had unwisely invited Andal warbands into their service. Shell was burned alive, Brightstone was tortured and beheaded, and Corwyn took their lands and families alike, bedding Shell’s widow and marrying Brightstone’s daughter.

Rather than claiming the title of king, Corwyn Corbray styled himself simply as Lord of the Five Fingers, preferring to build a lasting noble house over fleeting royal ambition. His legacy laid the foundation for a new Andalos in Westeros, one defined not only by conquest but by the establishment of order, knightly virtue, and the Faith of the Seven. From Heart’s Home, House Corbray would rise to become one of the most prominent Andal houses in the early years of their arrival.

Rather than claiming the title of king, Corwyn Corbray styled himself simply as Lord of the Five Fingers, preferring to build a lasting noble house over fleeting royal ambition.

Though some have questioned the manner of their rise, scorning it as mercenary or treacherous, House Corbray has ever maintained that their actions have brought civilization to a land mired in blood feuds and barbarism. Where the First Men clung to ancient customs and old gods, the Corbrays brought chivalry, piety, and structure.
