History[]
House Tymber were once one of the many splinter clans who ruled parts of the Ashlands as lesser kings during the Age of Heroes. The Tymbers hold an ancient grudge against their neighbors, House Heartley of Darkheart Hall. The two houses, which hold the blood of the First Men in their veins and merged with the nomadic Bordermen, competed for the throne of the Stormlands when it was an independent kingdom. The enmity was increased when House Heartley converted to the Faith of the Seven. House Tymber, however, is one of the few major noble Houses outside of the North which continues to worship the Old Gods of the Forest, and never converted to the Faith of The Seven.[1]
