Born of legend, House Willum was nearly destroyed in retribution for supporting the Blackfyres in their rebellion against the Targaryens. A single daughter of the House married to a noble knight remained to guarantee her House's survival into modern times. Now, House Willum struggles to regain some measure of its old glory.

The Painted Downs

The westernmost stretches of the Willum lands, the Painted Downs were named for the profusion of wildflowers and herbs cascading through shallow basins sculpted by streams that feed the Cockleswent. Once, the downs produced valuable dyes for House Willum, but the fields were put to the torch during the Blackfyre Rebellion. The House hasn't restored the downs to their original purpose, having found that the weedy regrowth left in the wake of the fires nurtures large bee populations, leading the House to instead begin establishing formal apiaries in the downs. The hives don't yet produce enough honey or wax to provide a notable profit. Threeswords, built following the Blackfyre Rebellion, also stands in the downs. (Lands: Plains, River, Grasslands; 9 points)

  • Threeswords Hall (Defense: 20 points)
    • Maester Heire (Wealth: 10 points)
    • Veteran Infantry (Power: 9 points)
    • Trained Archers (Power: 6 points)
    • Trained Support (Power: 5 points)
    • Green Cavalry (Power: 6 points)

Sweet Heath

Famed for its verdant herb fields, Sweet Heath has been the main source of House Willum's wealth since the Blackfyre Rebellion. Sweet Heath features a hamlet of the same name specializing in the distillation of herb-infused liquors called heath balms. Goat herds also wander the land, producing uniquely sweet and aromatic milk thanks to their herbal diet. (Lands: Plains, Grasslands; 6 points)

  • Sweet Heath: Hamlet. (Lands: 10 points)
    • Heath Balm Distilleries: Distillery. (Wealth: +5 point improvement to herb fields)
  • The Herb Fields of Sweet Heath: Herb Fields. (Wealth: 10 points)

Silver Lake (Lost Domain)

According to legend, House Willum was founded by the hero Willum Dragonsbane following his victory against a dragon of white scales limned in silver. The dragon in its death throes unleashed several springs that flooded the surrounding meadows, giving rise to a lake. Willum raised his seat, Wyrmgrave, where the bones of that dragon lay on the lakeshore. Great schools of silver-scaled perch coursed through the lake, and when the early members of House Willum saw these schools glimmering in its light dappled waters, they whispered that the soul of the dragon still swam in Silver Lake.

When House Willum declared themselves the Dragonslayers and rose against the Targaryens in the Blackfyre Rebellion, they suffered a crushing defeat at their hand. Wyrmgrave was immolated with most of House Willum trapped inside, and the entire line was nearly extinguished. Silver Lake and the ruins of Wyrmgrave were awarded to House Cockshaw, who holds them to this day. Efforts to rebuild on Wyrmgrave's bones have all met with disaster, though Cockshaw fishermen harvest the rich schools of perch that still fill the lake.
