House Fowler

House Fowler of Skyreach is a noble house from Skyreach in Dorne. They hold the title of "Warden of the Prince's Pass" and watch over the Prince's Pass.

Their words are "Let Me Soar". Their blazon is a hooded blue skarmory on silver.

The Fowlers were First Men kings who ruled from Skyreach, which guarded the Wide Way between Dorne and the Reach. They titled themselves Kings of Stone and Sky and Lords of the Wide Way. Along with the Daynes and Yronwoods, the Fowlers were among the most powerful of the Dornish kings.

The Fowlers often warred with the marcher lords to their north. King Ferris Fowler led 10,000 Dornishmen through the Wide Way to the Kingdom of the Reach, but they were turned back by King Garth VII Gardener.

Following the defeat of King Garrison Fowler, who was then exiled to the Night's Watch, the Fowlers sided with the Martells against the Yronwoods during Nymeria's War a thousand years ago. Since then they have feuded with the Yronwoods, the Wardens of the Stoneway east of the Prince's Pass.

In 10 AC during the First Dornish War, Lord Fowler led a Dornish host which burned Nightsong and took hostages from the marcher castle. The Targaryens retaliated by unleashing their dragons on Skyreach and other Dornish castles during the Dragon's Wroth. Lord Fowler was murdered for the Iron Throne's ransom on his head.

More recently: prior to the fall of the fall of the Yronwoods, House Fowler was the third most powerful house in Dorne. Though capable of summoning a sizeable army, House Fowler remained mostly uninvolved in the Bravosii war. Thus Fowler's notable wealth suffered less than many of the richer northern houses during the long winter.

Lord Jorah Fowler is well respected among the Dornish court. Though loyal to the Martells, he is seen as a level-headed check to the unstable princess. Many look to Lord Jorah to quell the more outrageous maneuvers of House Martell. However, rumors report that the once-strong relationship between Fowler and Martell has grown cold over the past several years.

With the destruction of Yronwood, and their alliance with Uller, House Fowler has suddenly become a dominant force in Dorne. Nymeria Fowler is the heir to the house, and also an aspiring knight.
