Lemore, also known as Lady Lemore, is a septa of the Faith of the Seven and the spiritual tutor for Young Griff.

Appearance and Character

Septa Lemore by Marc Fishman

See also: Images of Lemore

Despite being over forty years old, Lemore is described as a handsome woman and has an outgoing friendly personality. She has brown hair and stretch marks on her belly from bearing a child.

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

Lemore is a crewmember of the *Shy Maid*, and educates Young Griff on the Faith of the Seven. During the ship's journey Tyrion Lannister enjoys watching her frequently bathing naked in the clean water of the river Rhoyne. He believe she was not always a septa, or at least not a chaste one; as she bathes Tyrion notices stretch marks on her belly, implying she has given birth at some point.

When the Shy Maid reaches Volantis Lemore changes out of her white septa's robes and disguises herself as a merchant's daughter, as the city's main faith is R'hllor. While Tyrion has deduced Griff and Young Griff's true identities, he cannot figure out who Lemore is or why she travels with the others.

Clad again in her septa's robes, Lemore accompanies Young Griff, actually Aegon Targaryen, to the Stormlands.

Quotes by Lemore

The Mother and the Father made us in their image, Hugor. We should glory in our bodies, for they are the work of gods.

– Lemore to Hugor Hill

You are not the only one who must needs hide.

– Lemore to Aegon Targaryen

Quotes about Lemore

Still, a curious man might wonder why some sellsword's whelp would need a soiled septa to instruct him in the Faith, or a chainless maester to tutor him in history and tongues.

Theories

Main article: Lemore/Theories




Annotations from item #46267936:

Mother of Tyene Sand

Some reader of the series believe Lemore is the mother of Tyene Sand. Lemore is a Septa who has given birth before, as evidenced by the stretchmarks on her belly seen by Tyrion Lannister. She is also roughly in her mid 40's, and Tyene is in her early 20's, which would lend further support to the theory.

Evidence against

Tyene Sand has golden hair. Oberyn Martell and Lemore both have dark hair, making it unlikely that their daughter would have light hair. It is possible that Lemore dyes her hair to further conceal her identity, but that seems unnecessarily cautious. Further, if Lemore were Tyene's mother, it would be strange for her not to have communicated with her daughter or anyone else back in Dorne to give support to Aegon's legitimacy.

Ashara Dayne

Another possibility is that Lemore is actually Ashara Dayne, who did not in fact die after Robert’s Rebellion, but went to aid Aegon in Essos after giving birth to Jon Snow.

Evidence against

However when observing Lemore on the *Shy Maid* Tyrion Lannister never makes note of her eye colour which, if she were Ashara, would be very striking, as Ashara's eyes were described as being a "haunting violet" colour.

Leng is a large island in the Jade Sea, off the southern coast of Essos. To the north is the city of Jinqi in Yi Ti. East of Leng are the Shadow Lands, while to the south are the Manticore Isles. The island of Marahai is to the southwest.

Contents

Geography

Leng is an island of forests and jungles, rich in spices and gemstones.

The city of Leng Ma is located on the central western coast,

In the depth of the island's jungles are strange ruined cities, with massive, fallen buildings. The buildings are so overgrown with plants that only rubble is visible, but underground are endless labyrinths of tunnels that lead to vast chambers, and carved steps descend hundreds of feet into the earth. No one knows when these cities were built or by whom, and perhaps they are the only thing remaining of some extinct people. Those who entered the underground ruins often returned mad, and even today it is forbidden to enter them, under penalty of death.

History

Leng was an isolated island for most of its history, as the Lengii did not welcome outsiders. Those who attempted to harvest the island's resources met a foul end, and it thus was avoided by mariners. Leng became known as a haunt of demons and sorcerers, a closed island.

Merchants from the Golden Empire of Yi Ti periodically managed to open Leng to trade. However, according to the *Jade Compendium*, the Old Ones who lived below the island's subterranean ruins instructed the Empress of Leng to kill the foreign merchants on at least four occasions. Leng was eventually conquered by Jar Har, the sixth sea-green emperor of Yi Ti. He sealed the entrances to the underground cities and ordered them to be forgotten, after which there were no more massacres. The YiTish colonized most of the island, with the Lengii confined to the southern third.

Leng overthrew YiTish rule four hundred years ago, and power returned to the god-empresses. Khiara the Great established a tradition whereby the empress takes two husbands, one each of Lengii and YiTish descent, with one commanding the island's armies and the other its fleet.

Some of the great wealth acquired by Lord Corlys Velaryon during his nine voyages was from Leng.

Behind the Scenes

The island's name may be a reference by George R. R. Martin to H. P. Lovecraft's Leng.

A Lengii woman, by Douglas Wheatley for *The World of Ice and Fire*

The Lengii are the native people of the island of Leng in the Jade Sea. They are the tallest known race of mankind, and some have been known to reach seven or even eight feet in height. The Lengii are a slender people known for their beauty and having skin the color of oiled teak. They have large eyes golden in color which may grant them superior vision over other races. The Lengii now live in the southern third of the isle, as the remainder is populated by people of YiTish descent. The Lengii have traditionally been ruled by god-empresses. Legends claim the empresses of old consorted with the Old Ones, gods who are said to have lived deep below the island's subterranean ruins.

Originally the Lengii were pushed back by settlers from Yi Ti who landed in the north of the island, until they only inhabited the southern third of it. However, when the settlers on Leng broke away from Yi Ti to be ruled by their own god-empresses, they apparently made common cause with the Lengii. The first god-empress of the current dynasty, Khiara the Great, was actually pure Lengii (it is unclear if the "current" dynasty is the only dynasty). Khiara took two husbands, one Lengii and one YiTish - a customary pattern followed by her daughters and their daughters in turn.

Appearance and Character

Leo was slender and had grey hair during Daeron II's reign. He was extremely well respected and liked.

History

The Tourney at Ashford Meadow

Lord Leo participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow, beginning the tourney as one of the champions. In the first tilt he was challenged by Lord Damon Lannister, who yielded on the third lance after having his helm knocked off.

Leo was next challenged by Lord Pearse Caron, who was defeated after his longaxe caught in Leo's shield after a fight afoot.

One-eyed Ser Robyn Rhysling lost his helm to Leo's lance in their first course, yet refused to yield. Three times more, they rode at each other, but Leo was too chivalrous to aim another lance at Ser Robyn’s unprotected head. Finally, the Lord of Highgarden struck Robyn's breastplate a solid thump right over the heart and sent him cartwheeling to the earth.

He confirms that the rumors of the sailors are true, that Daenerys Targaryen is alive and has hatched three living dragons. He also reveals that there is a glass candle burning in the chambers of Archmaester Marwyn. After the others leave the inn, he threatens to take the virginity of Rosey, the girl that Pate has fallen for.

Samwell Tarly recognizes Leo outside the chambers of Marwyn at the Ravenry. Leo is staring intently into a candle flame, and when Alleras asks him if he is searching for his destiny or his death, Leo blinks and replies, "Naked women." Sam is intimidated by Leo, remembering him from their youth, but nevertheless tells him of his deeds in the Night's Watch and that he is now called "Sam the Slayer". Leo laughs, but has no chance to reply as Sam enters Marwyn's chambers.

Prince Lewyn Nymeros Martell, better known simply as Lewyn Martell, was a knight of House Martell who served as a member of Aerys II Targaryen's Kingsguard. He was the uncle of the current Prince of Dorne, Doran Martell.

Contents

History

Prince Lewyn was the younger brother of the former ruling Princess of Dorne. He was appointed a member of the Kingsguard in service of King Aerys II Targaryen.

During Robert's Rebellion, Aerys used Lewyn's niece, Princess Elia Martell, as a hostage against him, and sent him to command the ten thousand Dornishmen that were to join Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's force that was assembling to take on Lord Robert Baratheon.

Dorne was incensed by the deaths of Lewyn and Elia during the war, and Prince Oberyn Martell tried to raise the kingdom to support Viserys Targaryen, the surviving son of the late Aerys. In response, Lord Jon Arryn travelled to Sunspear the year after Robert took the throne (284 AC) to return the bones of Lewyn and was able to broker a peace with Doran Martell, the ruling Prince of Dorne.

Arianne Martell recalls her great-uncle fondly, remembering when she was a little girl how her great-uncle Lewyn would tower over her and tickle her till she could barely breathe from laughter.

It was a closely held secret that Prince Lewyn kept a paramour despite the Kingsguard oaths of chastity.

About

Established in Lhazar, south-west of Vaes Dothrak, the Lhazareen's camps are frequently raided for slaves by the Dothraki, who refer to them as haesh rakhi or Lamb Men. Mirroring the importance of sheep herding in Lhazareen culture, their deity is known as the Great Shepherd.

The Lhazareen have copper skin and almond-shaped eyes, similar to the Dothraki, but they are more squat and flat-faced and have black hair cropped short. They herd sheep and farm. Their language has a sing-song quality.

Azor Ahai thrusts Lightbringer into Nissa Nissa's breast
Art by Amok

Hyrkoon the Hero, with Lightbringer in hand, leads the virtuous into battle, as depicted by Jordi Gonzales Escamilla in *The World of Ice and Fire*.

Lightbringer is the sword of Azor Ahai, a legendary hero who is prophesied to fight the Great Other. Lightbringer is thought to be a sword made of living fire. It is also known as the Red Sword of Heroes.

Contents

The Legend of Lightbringer

Darkness lay over the world and a hero, Azor Ahai, was chosen to fight against it. To fight the darkness, Azor Ahai needed to forge a hero's sword. He labored for thirty days and thirty nights until it was done. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. He was not one to give up easily, so he started over. The second time he took fifty days and fifty nights to make the sword, even better than the first. To temper it this time, he captured a lion and drove the sword into its heart, but once more the steel shattered. The third time, with a heavy heart, for he knew before hand what he must do to finish the blade, he worked for a hundred days and nights until it was finished. This time, he called for his wife, Nissa Nissa, and asked her to bare her breast. He drove his sword into her breast, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating Lightbringer, while her cry of anguish and ecstasy left a crack across the face of the moon.

Prophecy

It has been foretold in the books at Asshai that when the stars bleed and the cold winds blow, a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. That sword will be Lightbringer. The one who draws it will be Azor Ahai reborn.

Stannis holds his flaming sword

Stannis' Lightbringer

Under the direction of Melisandre, Stannis Baratheon attempted to take the mantle of Azor Ahai by plunging a sword into a pyre of burning relics of the Seven. When he pulled the sword out, it glowed with a magical light, but close inspection revealed that the sword was not actually hot.

Stannis, that’s a very pretty sword, I’ll grant you, but I think the glow off it has ruined your eyes.

- Renly Baratheon

That sword was not Lightbringer, my friend.

- Salladhor Saan to Davos Seaworth, on Stannis Baratheon’s flaming sword

The sword is wrong, she has to know that ... light without heat ... an empty glamour ... the sword is wrong, and the false light can only lead us deeper into darkness.

- the dying Maester Aemon, to Samwell Tarly

Theories

There are many popular fan beliefs as to what Lightbringer actually is. See Lightbringer/Theories.

Lightbringer is the sword of Azor Ahai, a legendary hero who is prophesied to fight the Great Other. Lightbringer is thought to be a sword made of living fire. It is also known as the Red Sword of Heroes.. Many believe the Legend of Lightbringer's creation is metaphorical, while others believe it is a physical sword. Possibilities:

Davos Seaworth

The wind sighed through the chamber, and in the hearth the flames gusted and swirled. He listened to the logs crackle and spit. When Davos left the window his shadow went before him, tall and thin, and fell across the Painted Table like a sword.

The Lion of Night is a god in Yi Ti. The Faceless Men believe that is just another representation of the Many-Faced God.

According to tales told by the priestly scribes of Yin, the Lion of Night fathered a son on the Maiden-Made-of-Light. This son was the God-on-Earth, who ruled the Great Empire of the Dawn for ten thousand year before ascending to the heavens. The descendants of the God-Earth ruled the empire after him, each ruling a shorter time than the previous one, until the brother of the Amethyst Empress usurped her in the Blood Betrayal and crowned himself as the Bloodstone Emperor, ushering in the Long Night. The Maiden-Made-of-Light turned her back upon the world and the Lion of Night came forth in all his wroth to punish the wickedness of man.

The Five Forts, which predate the Golden Empire of Yi Ti, are claimed by some to have been raised by the Pearl Emperor to keep the Lion of Night and his demons away from the realms of men.

A Clash of Kings

The Lionstar is part of the fleet Tyrion Lannister sends to bring Myrcella Baratheon to Braavos. The captains have orders to run off or destroy any lone ship they spot on the way. Should an enemy fleet attack, the *Bold Wind* would escort the *Seaswift* while the rest of the fleet, consisting of *King Robert's Hammer, *Lionstar, and *Lady Lyanna*, would give battle.

When the fleet of Stannis Baratheon enters the Blackwater Rush before the start of the Battle of the Blackwater, Ser Davos Seaworth notes the absence of the Lionstar, King Robert's Hammer and the Lady Lyanna, making him suspect a trap, as these ships should lead any defense of the enemy.

A Dance with Dragons

The Lionstar transports Rhaegar, Ser Jared, and Symond Frey to White Harbor to deliver the remains of Ser Wendel Manderly, who was killed at the Red Wedding, and to negotiate House Manderly abandoning the northern cause and bending the knee to the Iron Throne and King Tommen I Baratheon. On the way, the ship makes a stop at Sisterton to fill its water casks and the Freys are guests of Lord Godric Borrell. Godric informs Davos of this when the Onion Lord arrives in Sisterton twelve days later.

Davos hopes that the ship sank in the same storms that destroyed Salladhor Saan's fleet. However, when he arrives in White Harbor on board the *Merry Midwife* to negotiate a possible alliance between Lord Wyman Manderly and Stannis, Davos spots the Lionstar lying in the harbor. Its banner displays the Baratheon and Lannister arms of King Tommen I. This increases Davos's doubts whether he can succeed in his mission.
