House Tarth

House Tarth of Evenfall Hall is a noble house from Evenfall Hall in the Stormlands. The family rules Tarth, a beautiful island northeast of Shipbreaker Bay that controls the Straits of Tarth between the island and mainland Westeros.

They are one of the main houses sworn to House Baratheon of Storm's End.

History
Ancestors of House Tarth ruled the island of their namesake as kings, claiming the family ruled the island as sole kings until Durran the Fair of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon married the Tarth King's daughter at the time, bringing the family under their dominion.

The island of Tarth was one of the first regions conquered during the coming of the Andals, leading to the family having ties with Houses Durrandon, Baratheon, and Targaryen.

Second Century AC
With the famous "Brienne the Beauty" of Tarth returned to the Isle of Tarth after her oaths to the Starks were fulfilled. She arrived home just in time to further the struggling Tarth blood line.

Fourth Century AC
The Tarths of old claimed pride in being the last major House of the Stormlands to fall to Aegon's invasion. It was not until news of Storm's End falling to Aegon did the Tarths finally bend the knee and accept the Targaryen invader.

During the Red God Revival the Isle of Tarth refused to accept any Red God followers. The House stayed faithful to the Faith of the Seven, the number of converts to R'Hllor on the island was slim to none.

A small number of Tarths participated in the Kingswood Tourney, though none found any meaningful success in the games.

Thankfully in the following Hammer Uprising House Tarth did not suffer any to peasant rebels. A small pocket of common folk rose up but were violently and soundly silenced permanently, and that was enough of an example for the rest of the island's people to stay in line.

Like the Kingswood Tourney, a good number of Tarths participated in the Tourney of the Rainwood, though once again, none achieved any victories or any measurable success.
