Īfter the poisoning of Amory Lorch, Gregor Clegane believes the Brotherhood is responsible. In short, the Brotherhood are a rag-tag but dangerous band of misfits who rob from the rich to give to the poor, making hit-and-run attacks then retreating back to the forests.Īt Harrenhal, the Lannister torturer known as the Tickler interrogates prisoners from a nearby village and demands to know where the Brotherhood is, what they are planning and which villagers are collaborating with them. From the core group which was originally sent out by Eddard Stark - and contained some of his own household guards from Winterfell - the Brotherhood attracted new members during the course of the war, as it was joined by Stark and Baratheon deserters, as well as simple commoners who wanted to defend their homes. The Brotherhood therefore decided to fight for no "banner" of one king or another in the war, but to fight to defend the common people against raiding parties of soldiers who prey on the weak during the war. Both Starks and Lannisters would burn out farms in the Riverlands just to deny the other the use of their crops. Over time, they began to feel that none of the factions in the War of the Five Kings were effectively looking out for the welfare of the commoners. The survivors were trapped behind enemy lines when Joffrey Baratheon ascended the Iron Throne with Tywin Lannister as the new Hand, but led by Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, they formed the Brotherhood to harass Lannister forces. This was being done clandestinely on the orders of his liege, Lord Tywin Lannister, whose son Tyrion had been arrested by Catelyn Stark, the daughter of Hoster Tully, lord of the Riverlands, and accused of attempting to murder her son Bran. Eddard Stark, the Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon, charged Lord Beric Dondarrion with bringing the King's Justice onto Ser Gregor Clegane after receiving reports from harassed smallfolk that the Mountain was terrorizing the Riverlands.
The Brotherhood Without Banners was formed in the aftermath of the Battle at the Mummer's Ford. Anguy, a champion archer from the Stormlands.However, in recent years, the Brotherhood, most of whom worship the Lord of Light, has turned its attention from the warring high lords to the White Walkers and their army of the dead, marching north to help in the fight against them. The Freys found themselves stretched thin with the Brotherhood's ongoing harassment, and the aging Walder was reluctantly forced to request support from his Lannister masters. They proved to be particularly problematic for House Frey, rallying the commoners in revolt and raiding Walder Frey's camps and supply trains.
The Brotherhood continues to fight to protect the commoners of the Riverlands and dispense justice on any who prey on them.įollowing the Red Wedding, the Brotherhood became a force for resistance against the Lannisters and their allies in the North and the Riverlands. Trapped behind enemy lines after the Battle at the Mummer's Ford, they became a guerrilla group, and were joined by deserters from different armies in the war as well as commoners trying to defend their homes. The group was indirectly created by Eddard Stark, the Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon, when he sent out a force of knights and soldiers led by Beric Dondarrion to restore peace and justice in the Riverlands at the onset of the War of the Five Kings, bolstered by several of his own household guards from House Stark. The Brotherhood Without Banners is an outlaw band working against Lannister interests in the Riverlands at the time of the War of the Five Kings, though their goal is to protect the smallfolk from any force preying on them, regardless of which King or Lord they support. No matter whose cloak you wear: Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood Without Banners will hunt you down." ― Beric Dondarrion to Sandor Clegane
