Throst Fisher is King of House Fisher, current ruler of Misty Isle and last sovereign of a once‑mighty line in the Riverlands.
Appearance
Throst is a lean, elderly man with weather‑worn skin and a high, receding forehead. His grey hair is cropped short at the sides, and he wears a neatly trimmed moustache. He often leans on a carved wooden staff when not playing his flute.
Personality
Fond of music and good company, Throst prefers songs and people around him than any involvement in conflict. In comparison to his late brothers, he is not an ideal ruler.
History
In the Age of Heroes, House Fisher once claimed the title Kings of the Rivers and Hills, ruling from Misty Isle at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush. Over centuries they defended their shores against Vale hill clans, Ironborn raiders, and Storm King invasions, until the Mudds finally displaced them. [1]
Throst inherited the lordship from his long‑reigning father. His brother, Adrek, served for a time as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. With no surviving sons and only daughters as heirs, Throst's line teeters on the brink of obscurity as neighbouring lords eye Misty Isle for easy plunder.
Quotes by Throst
“Raiders again? Bah—bring me the next musician. I’m in the mood for good company!” ― King Throst Fisher, upon hearing of another raid on Misty Isle.
Quotes about Throst
"A half-sunken island, all reeds and wetlands – and a single ruined keep is all that remains. A sad thing – to tell it true, and you wouldn’t guess by looking on it that once a great and noble line came from such a place.” ― Tost the Boatman, on the decline of Misty Isle, and its Fisher Kings.
“If Father cannot decide our future, then we shall have to.” ― thoughts of Princess Danisa Fisher.
