1
00:00:01,736 --> 00:00:06,172
According to legend, a huntsman once tracked
a lion that was terrorizing his village...
2
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:07,575
...all the way to its den.
3
00:00:08,076 --> 00:00:09,911
Though armed with only a spear...
4
00:00:09,994 --> 00:00:13,957
...the man managed to kill both the lion
and its maid, but spared the cubs.
5
00:00:14,624 --> 00:00:16,918
This mercy so pleased the old gods...
6
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:19,754
...they sent a shaft of sunlight
deep into the cave...
7
00:00:19,838 --> 00:00:21,756
...gleaming off golden walls.
8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,383
The hunter became a miner...
9
00:00:23,466 --> 00:00:25,844
...and built a ring for to
guard his new wealth.
10
00:00:26,344 --> 00:00:28,680
Nobody ever asks what happened to the cubs.
11
00:00:28,763 --> 00:00:31,766
Maybe the gods forgot about them
and they starved.
12
00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:35,937
Maybe there never were any cubs,
or lions, or hunter, doesn't matter.
13
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:40,525
Someone found enough gold in that cave
to buy whatever truth that he wanted.
14
00:00:40,608 --> 00:00:43,695
Along with the castle that he'd named
after his new family...
15
00:00:44,446 --> 00:00:46,656
...Casterly Rock.
16
00:00:46,739 --> 00:00:50,702
Thanks to that gold, Casterly Rock soon
became the largest, wealthiest...
17
00:00:50,785 --> 00:00:53,496
...and best defended castle in Westeros.
18
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:55,498
An army that struggled up the
main approach...
19
00:00:55,582 --> 00:00:58,960
...would still have to climb thick,
high and well-defended walls.
20
00:00:59,043 --> 00:01:01,004
Should they choose instead
to lay siege...
21
00:01:01,212 --> 00:01:04,257
...the sea helpfully carved the
massive caves beneath the castle...
22
00:01:04,339 --> 00:01:07,492
...which over time became a private
port complete with docks...
23
00:01:07,576 --> 00:01:09,304
...wharves and shipyards.
24
00:01:09,387 --> 00:01:13,975
And so to this day, even with all the
gold in Westeros to tempt invaders...
25
00:01:14,058 --> 00:01:17,312
...Casterly rock has never fallen...
26
00:01:17,395 --> 00:01:19,355
...at least not in battle.
27
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,369
The castle is sadly all that remains of
its namesake family the Casterlys.
28
00:01:24,652 --> 00:01:28,198
According the another legend,
my ancestor, Lann the Clever...
29
00:01:28,281 --> 00:01:30,158
...swindled the castle from them.
30
00:01:30,241 --> 00:01:33,578
The most common story is that he found a
hidden cleft in the rock...
31
00:01:33,661 --> 00:01:35,538
...and snuck into the castle.
32
00:01:35,622 --> 00:01:38,416
At night he whispered threats into
sleeping ears...
33
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,043
...howled in the darkness...
34
00:01:40,126 --> 00:01:44,088
...planted one brother's treasures
in the room of another and so forth.
35
00:01:44,172 --> 00:01:45,340
By the end of his games...
36
00:01:45,423 --> 00:01:49,594
...The Casterlys believed that demon was
haunting their home and fled.
37
00:01:50,345 --> 00:01:52,597
My brother prefers a different version.
38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,434
Lann the Clever did find a secret
entrance into the rock.
39
00:01:56,518 --> 00:01:59,395
But used it to have his way with the
Casterly maidens.
40
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:03,024
Eventually the girls gave birth
to golden haired bastards...
41
00:02:03,107 --> 00:02:07,320
...and the Casterlys had no choice
but to accept their father into the family.
42
00:02:07,403 --> 00:02:11,366
In gratitude, he changed the family
name to honor himself...
43
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:13,993
...and House Lannister was born.
44
00:02:14,953 --> 00:02:18,665
The Casterlys used the gold of the rock
to become lords...
45
00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:21,459
...Lannisters became kings.
46
00:02:21,543 --> 00:02:25,797
For thousands of years, The Kingdom of the
Rock ruled the Westerlands.
47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,757
When the Ironborn became a nuisance...
48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,345
...my ancestors sailed to the Iron Islands and
returned with a hundred Ironborn hostages.
49
00:02:32,428 --> 00:02:34,222
...promising to hang one from the rock...
50
00:02:34,305 --> 00:02:37,809
...every time the Ironborn dared
raid our shores.
51
00:02:37,892 --> 00:02:42,105
The Ironborn stayed away, well,
after 20 or so.
52
00:02:42,188 --> 00:02:45,400
When the Andals arrived after sweeping
across the rest of Westeros...
53
00:02:45,483 --> 00:02:50,071
...we invited their sons and daughters
into the rock as squires and court ladies.
54
00:02:50,154 --> 00:02:53,324
I don't think we ever had to hang
any of them.
55
00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:57,495
Finally, Aegon the Conqueror defeated us
on the Field of Fire...
56
00:02:57,579 --> 00:02:59,622
...and my ancestor knelt...
57
00:02:59,706 --> 00:03:03,334
...still, little changed
but titles and taxes.
58
00:03:03,418 --> 00:03:06,045
For when Visenya Targaryen saw the Rock...
59
00:03:06,129 --> 00:03:09,474
...she gave thanks that my ancestor had met
Aegon on the field.
60
00:03:09,557 --> 00:03:12,844
Even dragon flame would have
washed over the castle like the waves...
61
00:03:12,927 --> 00:03:14,887
...and left just as much a mark.
62
00:03:15,305 --> 00:03:17,348
But now the mines are dry...
63
00:03:17,432 --> 00:03:20,602
...and Casterly Rock is just that, a rock.
64
00:03:21,311 --> 00:03:26,232
Our gold has passed into legend, just like
the merciful Huntsman and Lann the Clever...
65
00:03:26,316 --> 00:03:29,235
...as well our family, if we lose this war.
66
00:03:30,028 --> 00:03:32,155
Unlike the Casterlys however...
67
00:03:32,238 --> 00:03:34,907
...we won't even have a castle
to remember our name.
