House Ivy

House Ivy

Motto: "Wither & Bloom"

History
After gaining lands through deciet and trechery, House Ivy went on to flourish in its newfound home. Having aided Aegon Targaryn in his conquest of Westeros, House Ivy gained his favor and prospered under his riegn. Long before the years of Robert's Rebellion, poisonous Ivy could be seen advancing from the woods, try as they might to repel the oncoming tide of tangling vines, the sea of green washed over them, choking the life out of the crops and weakening the structures that made up the town. Lord Hadrian would not see his people starve and so sold off most of the towns non essential possesions to pay for imported foods. The famine the Ivy caused lasted for over a hundered years, outlasting the Lord himself the mantle fell upon young Rowan. Having fought the Ivy his whole life he finally gave up at the age of 54.

Not a week later the Ivy slackened and allowed the crops to grow once more, nearly two thirds of the original bustling town had been taken over by the Ivy and reduced the house into nothing more than a poor holding, The doom that was later called the 'Ivy Feast' had passed.

After he died Rowan's body was taken deep into the woods, where the Ivy grows thickest buried amongst the poisonous tangles constricting vines.

His son Tybalt inherited what was later deemed the "Ivywoods", and renamed the house to "House Ivy".

"Defeated we were by the Ivy Feast, but the Withering has passed, and so the Ivy Blooms again" - Lord Tybalt Ivy
