- House TargaryenAerys II TargaryenKing of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First MenA king who began his reign promising and ended it stockpiling wildfire beneath his own city, a promise of a very different kind that his own sworn sword had to break to keep the realm from burning with him.
- House LannisterTywin LannisterLord of Casterly RockThe lord who took a house grown soft under his father and made it feared again by the simple, terrible expedient of ensuring every debt against it was paid in full — a policy that held for every debt but the last one, owed to his own son.

- House MartellNymeria SandLady NymLast confirmed departing Sunspear for King's Landing as Dorne's new voice on the small council and escort to Princess Myrcella — an appointment that keeps her, and the household she travels with, uncomfortably close to the Lannister court she has every reason to distrust.
