House Wesar

The Wesar's are a family of Old Valyria, who settled on Lys around when the Targaryens left for Dragonstone. Since then, its members have been prominent citizens of Lys, and who have been influential to many of its important events. The Wesar's are the current ruling dynasty of Lys.

History Prior to the Rise of New Valyria
After their arrival to Lys, the Wesar's gradually became one of the prominent nobles of Lys, having amassed wealth and a fleet of trade ships. They maintained close ties with other old Valyrian families during the occupation of Lys by Volantis, but advocated for Lysene independence during its rebellion against Volantis. Members of the Wesar family preferred to remain in the business of trade, and on occasion served in the Lysene navy, but began rising to positions of leadership during the Triarchy. Throughout that era, several Wesar's were magisters of Lys. It was also during this era that the large trade fleet they owned was destroyed. After the fall of the Triarchy, the Wesar's tried to maintain close relations with the Targaryens and the Velaryons, which brought about a marriage between a Velaryon and a Wesar.

Sometime during the reign of Aegon IV, when relations between Lys and the Six Kingdom's were close, a member of House Wesar rebuilt their trade fleet. He would later move to Myr, where he would soon become acquainted with the Golden Company. His sons and the Wesar's of Lys joined in the War of the Ninepenny King's. During that war, they distinguished themselves in battle, but also became unpopular after the defeat of this alliance. One of these sons, Jaehor, had become friends with the leadership of the Golden Company. He would marry Rhaenyra Blackfyre.

The Wesar's During and After New Valyria
It would be from the funds of Jaehor Wesar that would be used to support the Golden Company's rise, which lead to the establishment New Valyria. The Wesar family in Lys, also benefitted from the rise of New Valyria, providing several ships and men to fight in its wars. They have maintained their wealth after the collapse of New Valyria. Several of them speak words of Old Valyrian, mixed in with the common High Valyrian.
