House Fowler

Line 1:

'''House Fowler of Skyreach''' is a [[First Men]] royal house of the '''Kingdom of Stone and Sky''' in [[Dorne|Dorne]].

''North and east, beyond a great gap in the mountains that provided the shortest and easiest passage from Dorne to the Reach, House Fowler carved its own seat into the stony slopes overlooking the pass. Skyreach, that seat became known, for its lofty perch and soaring stone towers. At the time, the pass it brooded over was commonly known as the Wide Way (today we name it the Prince's Pass), so the Fowlers took for themselves the grandiose titles of Lords of Skyreach, Lords of the Wide Way, and Kings of Stone and Sky.''

=== Background ===

The Fowlers have reigned over the Wide Way, one of only two passes through the Red Mountains, for thousands of years. Titling themselves "Kings of Stone and Sky," as well as "Lords of the Wide Way,"<ref name="~~Fowler~~">~~George R. R. Martin, ''The World of Ice and Fire'', (New York: Bantam Books, 2014) p. 238.~~</ref> the Fowlers have fought many Reachmen armies who attempted to cross the Red Mountains. Perhaps more prominently, however, they are renowned for their ancient feud with [[House Yronwood|House Yronwood]], the Bloodroyals of the Bone Way.
