== History ==

The Millers ~~came over the sea from [[Andalos]], led by Ser Morgan Miller alongside Ser Kevan [[House Pyle|Pyle]] and Ser Gylbert [[House Gaunt|Gaunt]] as a single fleet~~, ~~seeking new lands in Blackwater Bay and the Baywater Woods~~ in the ~~first~~ years of the [[Coming of the Andals]]~~. When they landed~~, ~~all three adventurers and their followers warred with House Bywater to take their lands.~~

The Millers, in the early years of the [[Coming of the Andals]], were the first in the Stormlands to adopt Andal styles of writing for their own, seeing it as far more efficient and easy to use than runes. So inspired they were, they took the quill alongside their hammer as charges on their banners.

~~The Gaunts secured~~ the ~~most land and~~ the ~~Pyles gained the formidable fort at Greyhelm, but the Millers failed~~ to ~~take any castles. Desperate to secure a home~~ for ~~themselves~~, ~~Morgan betrayed the other Andals~~ and ~~offered his blade~~ to ~~Lord Gatrel Bywater as a vassal~~, ~~and~~ their ~~combined forces, First Men and Andals united, stopped further conquest by the Gaunts and the Pyles. Since then the Millers have been regarded~~ as ~~pariahs and traitors of the Andal world, and the first of a race of strangers to the Stormmen~~.

== Notable Members ==
