House Mallister

House Mallister of Seagard is a noble house within the Riverlands. Their seat of power lies in the keep of Seagard which sits on the western shores of the Riverlands. Ever vigilant for the Ironborn to return.The current head of House Mallister is Lady Jyana Mallister known as the lonely due to the loss of her kin.

House Mallister is a house that can trace it's lineage back to the time of the petty river kings if not before then. However with the Fourth war of the Kraken. House Mallister as it was known at the time ended in horror. Following the fall of the castle and the imprisonment, torture and gelding Lord Jordan Mallister the Lasts family the line was thought to be extinguished. Though Carolei the Salt Eagle never gave up hope. When the keep was retaken by the forces of house Frey. Carolei was the last Mallister living. Taking Dickon Frey as a husband, House Mallister as it's known now came to be.

338 AC: Lord Jordan the Last
Seagard falls to the forces of Rengar twice-drowned. The man was able to cripple the castle from the inside by way of deception. Lord Jordan's men fought hard and bravely. But in the end, it was for nought. The keep had fallen and his family was taken hostage by the Ironborn, or so he thought.

His sons, Patrick, Godric, and Rollam were brought in chains next to their father as the Ironborn jeered the defeated Rivermen. With father and sons held hostage, the victors gave them a show. The men were forced to watch, bearing witness to the rape of their sisters as they were taken for Salt Wives. Each one, Sarra, Talia, Alys, and Carolei were victimized in brutal and degrading ways.

When it was done, Jordan already broken by seeing his daughters taken in such a manner was made to lay with his battered daughters. It was the sons turns now. Each one as brought up one after another. Brutalized as the Ironborn forced each man down and made them into eunuchs. They were to live out there days as thralls to the new lords of Seagard.

When it was done, Lord Jordan was brought to the same block where so many of his bannermen had already been beheaded. After a few final words of victory from the Ironborn Lord Jordan joined his bannermen and lost his head.

339 AC: The Second and Third battles of Seagard
In the months that followed, the remaining Mallisters were brutalized daily by their captors. The daughters were taken by their "husbands" each night. The sons were given daily tortures and beatings. The walls ran red as the prisoners from the fall were executed daily.

Rollam was the first, unable to bear what was happening in his home he threw himself from a tower one morning. Sarra was the second, she lost her life giving birth to her "husbands" child. In an act of defiance or perhaps of the gods themselves the child perished with her. Though from that, the Ironbron found new ways to bring cruelty to the remaining Mallisters.Talia who had become broken through the acts of her husband and the brutality of it all embraced her captors as her new family. Her first act of compliance was to subject Patrick, and Godric through various brutalities.

It was not till the forces of House Frey arrived did the situation seem viable. As they began to launch their attack on the castle. Alys, Patrick, and Godric were put to the blade. Carolei had fought off her "husband" and barricaded herself in her chambers. Talia embracing the Ironborn as kin fought against the Riverlanders and died as the castle was stormed.

339 AC: Lady Carolei The Salt Eagle
Emerging from her shelter, Carolei learnt she was the final Mallister. In an act of perhaps reparation from their actions during the war of the five kings. House Frey offered a son to Carolei to restart her line. Thus Lady Carolei the Salt Eagle, and Lord Consort Dickon Frey sought to restart House Mallister. Carolei's first child a boy was a good sign. Though as her son grew, Cedrick Mallister was clearly not a son of Dickon. Rumours began to swirl that child was born of Regnar Twice Drowned himself and that was how Carolei was able to survive the taking of the castle. Though she denied the rumour and stated it could have come from her mother's side.

As her second and third sons were born. Andros and Michael Mallister respectively with each being a spitting image of their father. Rumors only began to grow more as strain began to grow on the already hostile relationship Carolei had with Dickon.

365 - 366 Half Blood Incursion
When the forces of Maron and Mara Halfblood took to the shores of the Riverlands. Cedrick Mallister, the Iron Eagle, and unknown half-brother to the pair took to the defence of his home. Riding with him, was a thousand Mallister men and his younger half-brother Andros Mallister. Catching a group of raiders as they had finished a town on the cape of eagles. The Mallister forces drove the Ironborn back into the sea though not without a cost. Andros the true firstborn son of Carolei and Dickon was killed in the fight.

379 The Kingswood Tournament
During the melee of the Kingswood Tournament. Michael Mallister, third-born child of Carolei the Salt Eagle, and Dickon Frey was killed during the infamous melee. While he was betrothed he left behind no issue. Securing Cedricks line within House Mallister, and ensuring that wherever the eagle goes a kraken will loom not far behind.

396 - 402 AC: The War of the Three Thieves
In the years leading to the War of the Three Thieves, Cedrick Mallister the Iron Eagle perished quietly in his sleep. His son Victor Mallister who had wed Lady Kyra of House Haigh became lord. Though a secession crisis loomed ahead. Victors only child died hours after it’s birth. The lasting effect left Kyra unable to bear children for him. The pair continued to try every method thought possible. Only stopping when the call to arms went out. Lord Victor, and his brother Preston answered the call.

The brothers became separated as duty took them to different ships, different duties. Preston distinguished himself as a warrior though it came at a great cost. In the battle of the Broken Arm. Preston Mallister was said to have rallied his men once his ship was boarded and then counter boarded and took the stepsone ship. Though as his men celebrated the victory Prestons wounds caught up to him and he fell on the field of battle. His daughter Gwin Mallister now without a father her future was up in the air.

Lord Victor Mallister, served with duty and distinction. Yet he too met his end in the bloody affair. Falling during the taking of the Gallows. While some of the Mallister men claimed he died fighting on the wall. It was said he was part of the scores charged beyond recognition. Be it Maekars or Silverhand’s dragon that set the fire upon him it mattered little. Victor Mallister was dead and left no issue behind. The Title fell to his sister Lady Jyana the Lonely. Their sister Margery having become a septa of the faith specifically the starry rites.

402 - Present: Lady Jyana, and Lord Consort Yoren Hawick
With the death of her brothers and her sister becoming a septa. Leadership fell to Lady Jyana. Though with already three children the future was not yet solid as it was not until the birth of Connor did she and Yoren finally have a son. As the ladies of house Mallister guard the nest. Much like his grandfather Connor shows the Kraken in his blood. Though his actions seem to show the opposite for now.
