King Throst Fisher of the Misty Isle

Arms of House Fisher. Words: 'The Current Bears Our Crown'

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.

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 obscuri ty as neighbouring lords eye Misty Isle for easy plunder.

In the end, old Throst decided to marry his eldest daughter, Danisa, to his nephew Gelmar, thus ensuring that the Fisher name would endure. Later, when an Andal named Jaime Farring came to Misty Island and asked for Masha’s hand in marriage—offering, in return, to protect them in the event of an attack and to regard them as allies—the old Fisher King accepted the proposal.

The Fisher King would grow absent with years and died when he nearly got 100 years old.
