Regardless, Lord Cregan and Prince Jacaerys reached an agreement, known by Munkun as the Pact of Ice and Fire, which stated that the future firstborn daughter of Jacaerys would one day marry Cregan's son, Rickon. Archmaester Gyldayn is skeptical of Mushroom's ribald stories, however. Mushroom claimed that Cregan had a half-sister, Sara Snow, who slept with Jacaerys, and that an angry Cregan only relented after being told that Jacaerys and Sara had secretly wed in the godswood of Winterfell. In contrast to Munkun's writings, Septon Eustace claimed that Jacaerys spent his time trying to convert Lord Stark from the old gods to the Faith of the Seven. After spending time drinking, hunting, and training, Cregan and Jacaerys swore an oath of brotherhood. According to Grand Maester Munkun, Cregan and the prince got along well, as Jacaerys reminded Cregan of his late younger brother. Īfter flying on his dragon, Vermax to the Eyrie, Sisterton, and White Harbor, Jacaerys arrived at Winterfell to negotiate with Lord Cregan. Jacaerys Velaryon, Prince of Dragonstone, was sent to gain additional support for his mother Rhaenyra's claim to the Iron Throne. Upon the death of King Viserys I Targaryen in 129 AC, the blacks of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen opposed the greens of King Aegon II Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons. The Dance of the Dragonsįor over a century after the Targaryen Conquest, House Stark remained largely disinterested in royal politics and aloof from affairs at court. Cregan named his infant heir Rickon after his late father. The young lord then married Lady Arra Norrey, a friend from childhood, but she died in 128 AC while giving birth to a son. In 126 AC, Cregan took up rule of the north by having Bennard and his three sons imprisoned. Bennard was slow to relinquish power when Cregan turned sixteen and came of age in 124 AC, however, and relations were tense between uncle and nephew. Rickon's brother, Bennard Stark, ruled the north as regent during Cregan's minority. When Lord Rickon passed away in 121 AC, he was succeeded by the thirteen-year-old Cregan. He had a younger brother, who died in 119 AC, and, according to The Testimony of Mushroom, a bastard half-sister, Sara Snow. History Early lifeĬregan was born in 108 AC as the eldest son of Rickon Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, and Lady Gilliane Glover. Prince Aemon Targaryen, the Dragonknight, claimed he never faced a finer swordsman than Lord Cregan. Lord Cerwyn was said to be his closest friend. Like many other Starks, Cregan was a good friend to the Night's Watch. Īccording to Archmaester Gyldayn, Cregan was a stern and formidable lord. They have a large, wooded habitat to run around in, but I decided to put this fellow on a hilltop, just because… because.Cregan had grey eyes which reminded Septon Eustace of a winter storm. The wolf itself is from a rather fuzzy, long-distance photo I took at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle many years ago. I may even get to like it, once I put it away for a while. It’s much more cartoony than my original vision, but maybe it’s just because I’ve been drawing comics so much lately. I’ve been challenged enough for one day! So I’m posting it anyway, as evidence that sometimes things just don’t turn out as planned, despite skills and the best intentions. However, I’m too tired, and it’s too late, to make another drawing for my challenge. Then the sky needed more colour.Īnd so on and so forth, and it looks nothing like I intended. That made the wolf look weak, so I gave him an outline. So I got out the ink brush and started turning them into silhouettes. That made the grass in the front, which I had coloured in several different, blended greens, look garish. As soon as I added any colour, it overpowered the ink lines. But it didn’t work out that way (and I forgot to scan the ink drawing!). ![]() My intent was to do a delicate pen and ink drawing with a splash of watercolour for the background. This should have been an easy little drawing. You know how some days, no matter what you do, you just can’t do your best? That’s how I’m feeling today.
