House Santagar is a young house founded by the intrepid Andal adventurer, [[Symeon Santagar]], who journeyed south instead of joining his more zealous contemporaries [[Corwyn Corbray]] or [[Armistead Vance]] in their crusade further north. On his landing, Symeon built his seat on the shore of a lake deep in the jungles of the [[Broken Arm of Dorne]], and would name both it and the jungle around it Spottswood, for the leopards that call it home. He would take a native [[First Men|First Man]] to wife, and would not press on full conversion to the [[Faith of the Seven]]. | |||
