The Blood Feud

In the dark annals of Northern history, the shadow of House Bolton loomed as a malevolent force, infamous for their sadistic cruelty. House Thyiad, with its unique bond to direwolves and unwavering loyalty to House Stark, was seen as a thorn in the side of House Bolton, an obstacle to their ambitions in the North.

The Boltons, coveting the territories held by the Thyiads, devised a sinister plot to exterminate their rivals once and for all. It was a time of treachery and deception, and House Thyiad, unsuspecting, fell into a trap set by their enemies.

In a ruthless act, the Boltons descended upon the Thyiad stronghold, Wolf's Roost, in the dead of night. The Thyiads, caught off guard, were overwhelmed by the brutal onslaught of House Bolton's forces. The direwolves, whose bond with House Thyiad was unbreakable, fought fiercely to protect their masters, but the sheer numbers and cunning tactics of the Boltons left the Thyiads no choice but to surrender.

The fate that awaited House Thyiad was nothing short of horrifying. The Boltons, infamous for their sadistic tendencies, chose to make an example of the house. They crucified every member of House Thyiad, leaving their lifeless bodies to hang as a gruesome warning to any who would defy the power of House Bolton.

But one member of House Thyiad was spared from this gruesome fate—Krystan Thyiad. He had been away from Wolf's Roost at the time of the attack, a twist of fate that spared him from the terrible fate suffered by the rest of his kin.

When Krystan Thyiad returned to find his family and house devastated, he was consumed by grief and rage. He knew that he could not allow the Boltons to escape unpunished for their heinous act. With a burning desire for vengeance, he gathered what forces he could muster, rallying loyal Northmen to his cause.

Under Krystan Thyiad's leadership, the surviving loyalists launched a relentless campaign against House Bolton, seeking to avenge their fallen house and reclaim their ancestral lands. The Boltons, taken aback by the ferocity of Krystan's retaliation, found themselves facing an enemy more determined than any they had encountered before.

The conflict between House Thyiad and House Bolton escalated into a bloody and protracted feud, one that would go down in Northern history as a testament to the unyielding spirit of the Thyiads. Krystan, with the direwolves of House Thyiad by his side, wreaked havoc upon the Boltons, and their forces suffered heavy losses.

The North watched with bated breath as the feud raged on, with both houses showing no signs of backing down. House Thyiad's relentless pursuit of vengeance, fueled by the memory of their crucified kin, came dangerously close to exterminating House Bolton. The Boltons found themselves reaping the bitter harvest of their cruel actions, as they faced the fury of an enemy they had grievously underestimated.

In this chapter of Northern history, House Thyiad's unwavering determination and the leadership of Krystan Thyiad turned the tide against the Boltons. As the feud unfolded, it became a stark reminder of the price that could be exacted when one house sought to exterminate another. The Thyiads had survived the darkest hour, and House Bolton was on the brink of ruin, a consequence of their own brutal ambition.
