Narration
Rickard Harrigon: "Forging Strength", some could say those words are among the most boastful in all of the Seven Kingdoms. But to me, my father and his father before him, these words are not a boast, they are a reminder to all kings, lords, knights; all the way down to the most simple peasant with a knife, that House Harrigon supplies Westeros its true strength.
From House Spyre of the Iron Islands, to the Iron Bank itself, we have survived against all odds. And of course we are no strangers to treachery, or betrayal, or to that end, revenge. Our ancestor, King Orromus Harrigon, knew that all too well, and decided to end the proud reign of House Smithe, the first mighty House the Harrigon's forged strength for. In the dead of night, Orromus made his way into the bedchambers of the proud king Marthew, taking his titles, his lands, his sigil, and even took two of the King's daughters to wife, after slitting his royal throat.
Orromus' last words are among the first all Harrigon children learn; "the work never dies". As soon as a son or a daughter can lift a stick, they are given a hammer, and should they choose upon a day, a sword, given they forge it themselves. You could imagine what an heir to Smithestone must accomplish to be deemed worthy.
After tearing down the proud, pitiful castle his forebears build for the Smithes, Orromus built Smithestone over the ruins, and beneath it, he built the greatest forge known to man. For many centuries the Harrigon's ruled as the Kings of the Forges, maintaining their hold over the mighty Smithelands, until they bent the knee to the Durrandon's, the Storm King's. Of course, our steel did not help King Argilac when Orys Baratheon cut him down, ending his line forever. We served the Baratheon's faithfully of course, and through them, the Targaryens, and eventually, King Robert Baratheon.
House Harrigon has forged untold swords, spears and shields over the years, at the cost of forging even greater enemies. That being said, could you blame a house as important as ours valuing payment over honor? As if power hungry warlords or kings have such honor to begin with. No, If people want our steel, we don't ask for reasons, all we desire is payment, nothing less, and nothing more. Let's hope, one house has more silver than their enemies.
