House Reyne

House Reyne of Castamere is a noble house from Castamere in the Westerlands. Their sigil is a crimson lion on a field of silver. Their offical motto is "Beneath Still Waters". They are known as one of the wealthiest houses in the Seven Kingdoms, behind only House Lannister.

Age of Heroes
House Reyne is a family of First Men who can trace their roots back to the Age of Heroes, where they made their seat at Castamere, established around a rich system of mines, caves, and tunnels. The mine's silver and gold made them wealthy, much like the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. The Reynes became a power in the westerlands and in time styled themselves as the Lords of Castamere.

The Reynes joined the Kingdom of the Rock as vassals when King Loreon I Lannister wed a Reyne daughter.

Targaryen Era
After taking her leave of Lord Lyman Lannister, Rhaena Targaryen and her court visited several lords across the westerlands and riverlands, including the Reynes of Castamere in 51 AC. While she initially received a warm reception at Castamere, problems soon emerged when Rhaena realized that the Reynes either feared or desired her dragon, Dreamfyre.

King Jaehaerys I Targaryen visited the Reynes at Castamere during a royal progress in 55 AC. That year, Ser Alastor Reyne was the master-at-arms of Casterly Rock and the champion of the Westerlands. He participated in a tourney to celebrate the completion of the Dragonpit.

During the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, the Reynes followed the Lannisters in siding with King Aegon II Targaryen and the greens. Lord Raynald Reyne was killed during the Battle by the Lakeshore in 130 AC.

1st Blackfyre Rebellion
In 196 AC, a tourney and feast in honour of the marriage between Aegor Rivers and Calla Blackfyre was announced. Many lords, knights and ladies flocked to King's Landing to take part in the festivities; with the members of House Reyne among them. Despite good showings in the joust, both Ilyn and Robb were knocked out in the first round. Their fortunes were to be reversed in the melee, wherein Robb placed in the top five.

At the conclusion of the tourney and feast, Robb was part of the retinue which traveled to Horn Hill alongside Daemon Blackfyre.
