House Fowler
House Fowler of Skyreach is a First Men royal house of the Kingdom of Stone and Sky in Dorne.
History
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,"[1] 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, the Bloodroyals of the Bone Way.
Seat and Region
"North and east [from Starfall], 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." [1] This location high up in the pass known as the Wide Way has given the Fowlers the perfect position to repel invaders; and if the name 'Skyreach' is any indication, may have inspired the ancient Fowlers to take a blue hawk for their sigil.
