Jonn Hightower

Line 14:

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 confronts a storm of perils. Andal adventurers cast hungry eyes on the fertile lands of the Reach; rival courtiers, bannermen, and even kin swarm his court, each eager to mould the child-lord to their own designs. Too young for tourneys and councils yet old enough to bear a lords weight~~, Jonn must choose quickly whom to trust, lest Oldtown’s famous light gutter out in the rising winds of change~~.

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

Nevertheless Jon grow up and became a learned man.
