Curious yet willful, Young Jonn balanced a child’s eagerness to explore with a lord’s prickly pride. He yearned to prove himself but was quick to bristle when advisers spoke down to him. Impressionable by nature, he could swing between bold resolve and doubt, depending on which counselor had last bent his ear.

== History ==
== History ==
The elder Lord Hightower had been hailed throughout [[the Reach]] as a brilliant general and administrator, poised to direct the realm’s defence against [[Andal]] war-bands. His untimely death, choking on an apple, left the keys of Oldtown, the Beacon of the South, in the untested hands of his first-born son, Jonn.
The elder Lord Hightower was hailed throughout [[the Reach]] as a brilliant general and administrator, poised to direct the realm’s defence against [[Andal]] war-bands. His untimely death, choking on an apple, left the keys of Oldtown, the Beacon of the South, in the untested hands of his first-born son Jonn.


While barely past boyhood, Young Jonn confronted a storm of perils. Andal adventurers cast hungry eyes on the fertile lands of the Reach; rival courtiers, bannermen, and even kin swarmed his court, each eager to mould the child-lord to their own designs. He was too young for tourneys and councils, yet old enough to bear a lord’s weight.

Nevertheless, Jonn grew up, became a learned man, and married Myranda [[House Manderly|Manderly]], a daughter of [[Marlon Manderly]].
 
He forged a close relationship with the Gardeners over the course of his life, earning renown for strengthening the Oldtown fleet until it was powerful enough to reclaim the Arbor. During his rule he also witnessed a Great Reaving in Oldtown itself, an event that left deep scars on the city.
 
He would also be the on to welcome the [[House Cafferen|Cafferens]] to the Reach and many more Andals to come, which should also have influence on Oldtown and the Hightowers.


Nevertheless Jon grow up and became a learned man.
