House Connington

House Connington of Griffin’s Roost is a lordly house from Griffin’s Roost. It is one of the principal houses sworn to House Baratheon. House Connington’s vast, historical lands, which extend many leagues north, west, and south, were restored by House Targaryen following the Second War of Conquest. They are so vast, they are said to match House Baratheon’s in size.

The current patriarch of the house is Lord Axell Connington.

407 AC
Cassana Connington, Lord Axell’s firstborn daughter, joined Lord Gwayne Baratheon in King’s Landing to proffer him loyal counsel.

Axell answers Gwayne‘s call to arms and rallies a Connington host outside of Storm’s End. He also accepts his appointment as commander of the vanguard. His two eldest sons, Rodrik and Criston, personally join him while his youngest, Hugh, joins Gwayne as a personal retainer.
