Peremore Hightower

Prince Peremore, called “the Twisted,” was a sickly Hightower prince whose passion for learning inspired the scholarly order that now dwells beside the Honeywine.

History

Second son of King Uthor of the High Tower, Peremore was born with a withered arm and a crooked spine that kept him bedridden for much of his brief life. Frustrated by the limits of his body yet blessed with a boundless mind, he summoned scholars, priests, healers, singers, alchemists, wizards, and sorcerers to his chamber, delighting in nothing more than hearing them argue every mystery of the world.

When Peremore died, his elder brother King Urrigon honoured him by granting “Peremore’s pets” a broad tract of land beside the Honeywine. There the sages raised the Ravenry on the Isle of Ravens, tending a great weirwood and perfecting ravencraft so messages could fly across kingdoms. Over generations the fellowship grew into an order of “Grey Wizards,” lore-masters whose hosts and patrons prize their counsel and treasure their tales. Though Peremore never left his sickbed, his thirst for knowledge lit a beacon that still draws the wise to Oldtown’s banks.
