The '''Eyrie''' is an ancient castle and seat of [[House Arryn]], one of the oldest lines of [[Andal]] nobility, within the [[Vale of Arryn]]. It is situated in the [[Mountains of the Moon]] on a shoulder of the peak known as the [[Giant's Lance]], several thousand feet above [[Vale of Arryn (valley)|the valley below]]. Although small compared to the seats of other [[Great Houses]] in Westeros, the Eyrie is considered impregnable to attack. During wintertime, the Arryns seek refuge against the cold in the [[Gates of the Moon]] at the base of the mountain.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}} 

==Household==
Ser [[Vardis Egen]] is the captain of the [[House Arryn guards]] at the Eyrie, and [[Colemon]] is the castle's [[maester]].{{ref|AGOT|34}} [[Mord]] is the Eyrie's gaoler,{{ref|AGOT|38}} and servingwomen include [[Gretchel]], [[Maddy]], and [[Mela]].{{ref|AFFC|Appendix}} A [[master-at-arms]] and a plump [[septon]], both unnamed, also serve at the castle.{{ref|AGOT|40}} [[Mya Stone]] brings fresh foodstuffs from the [[Vale of Arryn (valley)|valley below]].{{ref|AFFC|23}}

The Eyrie is the smallest of the great castles,{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}} being no larger than [[Maegor's Holdfast]].{{ref|ASOS|80}} The castle is made of fine white stone.{{ref|AFFC|41}} Its seven slim, white towers are bunched tightly together and can hold up to five hundred men.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} The waterfall known as [[Alyssa's Tears]] can be heard from the Eyrie,{{ref|AFFC|23}} and [[falcon]]s fly near the castle.{{ref|AGOT|34}}{{ref|AFFC|23}}

The Eyrie lacks stables, smithys, and kennels, but its granary is as large as those found in much larger castles, like [[Winterfell]].{{Ref|AGOT|34}} The Eyrie also contains a [[sept]].{{ref|AFFC|41}} The castle's [[House Arryn guards|household guard]] wear sky-blue cloaks.{{ref|AFFC|10}}

* The High Hall is a long and austere hall, with walls made of blue-veined white [[marble]].{{ref|AGOT|38}} The High Hall is decorated with rows of slim fluted pillars and a blue silk carpet.{{ref|ASOS|80}} At the end of it sit two thrones carved of [[weirwood]], one the high seat of the lord and the other a lesser throne for a consort.{{Ref|AGOT|38}}{{ref|ASOS|80}} It has narrow, arched windows, between which are torches mounted on high iron{{Ref|ASOS|80}} or silver{{Ref|AFFC|10}} sconces. Feasts can be held in the High Hall.{{ref|AGOT|30}} Entrance to the High Hall is through carved wooden doors.{{ref|ASOS|80}}
* The [[Moon Door]] is a narrow weirwood door that stands between two slender pillars halfway in the High Hall. A crescent [[moon]] is carved into the door, which opens inward and is barred by three heavy [[bronze]] bars. The door opens into the sky. Most executions at the Eyrie use this door, which opens onto a six hundred foot drop to the stones of the valley below.{{Ref|AGOT|38}}
* The Crescent Chamber is the Eyrie's reception hall. Here, guests are given refreshments and warmed by the fire after making the climb up the [[Giant's Lance]].{{Ref|AFFC|23}}
* A flight of steep marble stairs from the Crescent Chamber bypasses the Eyrie's undercrofts and dungeons and is protected by three murder holes. The portcullis atop the stairs leads to an arcade decorated with [[tapestries]].{{ref|AFFC|23}}
* The solar is located at the end of the arcade. The chamber is decorated with a [[Myr]]ish carpet and has enough room for a trestle table and at least eight heavy [[oak]]-and-leather chairs.{{ref|AFFC|23}}
* The Lower Hall is a hall in which food and [[wine]] can be served.{{ref|AFFC|10}}
* The Morning Hall is located above the kitchens and is where people can break their fast.{{ref|AFFC|23}} 
* The [[Maiden's Tower]] is the easternmost of the seven towers of the Eyrie. From a balcony on the tower, one can see the [[Vale of Arryn (valley)|Vale]] and the Giant's Lance.{{Ref|AFFC|10}}
* The Moon Tower contains the bedchambers of Lord Arryn,{{ref|AFFC|10}} which is protected by an oaken door four inches thick and has curtains of plush blue velvet. The bedchamber's window has small diamond-shaped panes.{{ref|AFFC|41}}
* The garden is encircled by the castle's towers. It was intended to be a [[godswood]], but no [[weirwood]] [[heart tree]] would take root in the stony soil.{{ref|AGOT|40}}{{Ref|ASOS|80}} The garden, which is overlooked by Lady [[Lysa Arryn]]'s apartments, instead contains blue flowers, grass, shrubbery, thin dark trees, and statuary, including a depiction of a weeping [[Alyssa Arryn]] in its center.{{ref|AGOT|40}}{{ref|ASOS|80}}
* [[Sky cells]] are the Eyrie's infamous dungeons. They are shelves on the side of the mountain's sheer cliffs, left open to the cold sky, with slightly sloping floors to unnerve the prisoners. Many prisoners, driven mad by the cold and howling wind, commit suicide rather than remain imprisoned.{{ref|AGOT|38}}
* The Eyrie is located six hundred feet above a waycastle, [[Sky]]. Using handholds carved into the rock within the Giant's Lance, visitors can climb a ladder-like chimney{{ref|AGOT|34}}{{Ref|AFFC|23}} which leads from Sky up to the castle's undercellar.{{ref|AFFC|41}} Alternatively, wicker baskets and six great oaken buckets are drawn on long iron chains between the Eyrie and Sky.{{ref|AGOT|34}} Supplies can thus brought from Sky to the Eyrie's winch room, as can visitors unable or unwilling to climb the chimney ladder.{{ref|AGOT|34}}{{ref|AFFC|23}} Oxen are used to turn the winches, and the animals are slaughtered and left for falcons when the Arryns descend to the Gates of the Moon before winter. When the court returns to the Eyrie after winter, unspoiled meat is served in a spring feast.{{Ref|AFFC|41}}

==Defenses==
[[File:Gates large.jpg|thumb|The [[Gates of the Moon]] with the Eyrie above, by Paolo Puggioni ©]]
To reach the Eyrie from the west, an invading army would have to first overcome the [[Bloody Gate]] guarding the [[high road]]. Within the [[Vale of Arryn (valley)|Vale]], the stout [[Gates of the Moon]] guards the base of the [[Giant's Lance]].{{ref|AGOT|34}}

Steep stone steps carved into the Giant's Lance creep up the mountainside from the Gates of the Moon;{{ref|AFFC|23}} they are too narrow for horses, but are accessible by mules.{{ref|AGOT|34}} Travelers on the staircase are exposed to defenders in three waycastles.{{Ref|AGOT|34}}

* [[Stone]], the first waycastle, is on a path surrounded by forest.{{Ref|AGOT|34}}
* [[Snow (waycastle)|Snow]], the second waycastle, is on a trail steeper than that of Stone. It is nestled into the Giant's Lance so as to command the entire pathway from Stone to Snow.{{Ref|AGOT|34}}
* [[Sky]], the third waycastle, is on a treacherous path. Handholds carved into the rock lead up to the Eyrie.{{Ref|AGOT|34}} Baskets and oaken buckets can transport supplies and travelers up to the Eyrie as well.{{ref|AFFC|41}}

==History==
===Kings of Mountain and Vale===
[[File:LinoDrieghe EyrieII.jpg|thumb|The Eyrie by Lino Drieghe © Fantasy Flight Games]]
Legends claim that the [[Winged Knight]] drove the [[First Men]] from the Vale and flew to the top of the [[Giant's Lance]] on a huge [[falcon]] to slay the [[Griffin King]].{{ref|AFFC|10}}{{ref|AFFC|41}} Records indicate that [[Artys I Arryn]], the first [[King of Mountain and Vale]], constructed the [[Gates of the Moon]] at the foot of the Giant's Lance, where he had defeated King [[Robar II Royce]]'s army of First Men in the [[Battle of the Seven Stars]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale}}

Artys's grandson, [[Roland I Arryn]], believed that the Gates of the Moon was both inferior to [[Casterly Rock]] and the [[Hightower]] and strategically vulnerable to raids from the [[Vale mountain clans]]. Allegedly inspired by his wife [[Teora Hunter]], Roland decided to build a new royal palace high in the mountain above the Gates of the Moon.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}}

Construction of the Eyrie took place intermittently over generations, and [[marble]] was imported from [[Tarth]] in the [[narrow sea]], as Roland disliked the appearance of stone available in the Vale. The first [[maester]] to serve at the Eyrie was [[Quince]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}} 

The Eyrie was inhabited as a pleasure palace{{ref|AWOIAF|The Eyrie}} for the Kings of Mountain and Vale during [[spring]], [[Summer (season)|summer]], and [[autumn]]. The Arryns descend to the larger Gates of the Moon for [[winter]]{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: The Eyrie}} and host a feast when they return to the Eyrie in the spring.{{ref|AFFC|41}}

===The Conquest===
During [[Aegon's Conquest]], Queen Regent [[Sharra Arryn]] fortified the [[Bloody Gate]] and had her son, the boy king [[Ronnel Arryn (king)|Ronnel Arryn]], take refuge in the Eyrie. The fleet of [[House Arryn]] defeated that of [[House Targaryen]] in a [[battle in the waters off Gulltown]].{{ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}}

[[File:Thomas Denmark the moondoor.jpg|thumb|The [[Moon Door]] in the High Hall, by Thomas Denmark © Fantasy Flight Games]]

After the [[Field of Fire]] and the submission of the [[north]], Queen [[Visenya Targaryen]], bypassed the Eyrie's lower defenses by flying upon her [[dragon]], [[Vhagar]], to the castle's inner courtyard. Realizing that the Eyrie's isolated location could not protect against dragons, Sharra submitted to Visenya.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}} Visenya flew Ronnel thrice around the [[Giant's Lance]], and the boy became [[Warden of the East]] for King [[Aegon I Targaryen]], the new [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]].{{ref|FAB|Aegon's Conquest}}

===Early Targaryens===
King [[Aegon I Targaryen]] visited the Eyrie during his [[royal progress]]es.{{ref|FAB|Three Heads Had the Dragon - Governance Under King Aegon I}}

During the reign of Aegon's successor, King [[Aenys I Targaryen]], [[Jonos Arryn]] imprisoned his brother, Lord Ronnel, and took control of the Eyrie. When Lord [[Allard Royce]]'s host of loyal bannermen defeated Jonos's rebels below, the self-proclaimed King of Mountain and Vale threw Ronnel to his death through the [[Moon Door]]. Aegon's younger son, Prince [[Maegor I Targaryen|Maegor Targaryen]], rode the dragon [[Balerion]] to the Eyrie. To avoid being burned by Balerion's [[dragonflame]], the Eyrie's garrison captured Jonos and threw him through the Moon Door. Maegor hanged all of Jonos's followers from the walls of the Eyrie.{{ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

After [[Elinor Costayne]] was forced to wed King Maegor I, one of her sons from her first marriage was sent to the Eyrie to be raised.{{ref|FAB|The Sons of the Dragon}}

King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] visited the Eyrie on [[Vermithor]] during his royal progress in {{date|52}}.{{ref|FAB|Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I}} Princess [[Daella Targaryen (daughter of Jaehaerys I)|Daella Targaryen]] died at the Eyrie after giving birth to [[Aemma Arryn]] in {{date|82}}. Lord [[Rodrik Arryn]] wanted his wife to be buried in the [[Vale of Arryn]], but Queen [[Alysanne Targaryen]] insisted that her daughter be burned and her ashes interred at [[Dragonstone]].{{ref|FAB|The Long Reign - Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny, and Pain}}

===The Dance and Regency===
[[Image:The Eyrie.jpg|300px|thumb|The Eyrie in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']]
During the [[Dance of the Dragons]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] flew to the Eyrie on [[Vermax]] to secure an alliance between [[Jeyne Arryn]], [[Lady of the Eyrie]], and the [[blacks]] of his mother, Queen [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. According to Grand Maester [[Munkun]], Jacaerys and Jeyne agreed to an alliance in the castle's High Hall, with Jacaerys promising to have [[dragonrider]]s sent to the Vale to help protect the Eyrie from enemy dragons.{{ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - A Son for a Son}}

Jeyne had her first cousin, Ser [[Arnold Arryn]] imprisoned in the [[sky cells]] of the Eyrie and in the dungeons of the [[Gates of the Moon]] after two failed rebellions. After Jeyne died, her preferred heir, Ser [[Joffrey Arryn]], was contested by Arnold's son, Ser [[Eldric Arryn]], and by [[Isembard Arryn]] of [[Gulltown]]. After a civil war in the [[Vale of Arryn]], Joffrey eventually emerged as Lord of the Eyrie during the [[regency of Aegon III]].{{ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}

===Recent History===
[[Eddard Stark]] and [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] were fostered at the Eyrie for years by the childless Lord [[Jon Arryn]]. On one occasion while having breakfast, a food fight ensued when Robert struck [[Dacks]] in the face with an orange.{{ref|AGOT|30}} When King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] demanded the heads of the wards,{{ref|ADWD|9}}{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: House Arryn}} Lord Arryn refused and raised his banners in revolt, thus beginning what would become [[Robert's Rebellion]].{{ref|AGOT|2}} After winning the war, Jon was named [[Hand of the King]] to the new monarch, Robert I. With Jon serving in [[King's Landing]], the Vale has been ruled in his absence by Lord [[Nestor Royce]], [[High Steward of the Vale]].{{Ref|AGOT|34}}

The singer [[Tom of Sevenstreams]] was once sent from the Eyrie by Jon's wife, Lady [[Lysa Arryn]], and forced to take the [[high road]].{{ref|ASOS|43}} Before giving birth to [[Robert Arryn]], Lysa miscarried five times, twice at the Eyrie and three times in King's Landing.{{ref|ASOS|2}}
