House Arryn of the Eyrie is one of the Great Houses of Westeros, and is the principal noble house in the Vale of Arryn. Their main seat is the Eyrie, which is considered impregnable, but they have many other holdings, including their winter castle at the Gates of the Moon, which was once their main seat. Both of these fortifications sit astride the Giant's Lance, the tallest mountain in the Vale, the Gates of the Moon at its foot, the Eyrie at its top.

[[folder: King Artys Arryn]]
!!King Artys Arryn, King of the Mountain and the Vale
!!!The Falcon Knight, the Winged Knight
-->''"My throne is made of saddle leather, and my castle is a tent."''
A legendary knight and one of the leaders of the Andal invasion. He defeated High King Robar II Royce at the Battle of Seven Stars to become the first Andal King of the Mountain and the Vale. King Artys spent much of his reign travelling the Vale, rarely spending time at his seat at the Gates of the Moon. He's Lord Robert's favorite hero.
----
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: To the Andals of the Vale
* TheAce: Was said to be the finest warrior of his day, a master of swords, lances and morningstars, cunning, resourceful and loved by the Andals.
* AChildShallLeadThem: Was of age with Robar Royce, who was 16 and was made the leader of the Vale's andals.
* Archenemy: Of King Robar Royce.

* BeastMaster:The legendary Winged Knight was said to have commanded eagles to fight for him.
* BodyDouble: During the Battle of Seven Stars, he had one of his knights wear his spare suit of armor to trick King Robar II Royce into thinking he was still at his main camp, while in reality he took five hundred of his best knights on horse through a goat track to fall on the First Men from behind during the battle. His plan worked brilliantly, although his body double was killed by King Robar.
* CompositeCharacter: In-universe, the historical Ser Artys Arryn, who unified the Vale under Andal rule and defeated King Robar II Royce, has been merged in tales and songs with "the Winged Knight", a legendary warrior of the First Men (even though chivalry is an Andal tradition), who took the Eyrie from the Griffin King and said to have lived centuries before the first Andals came to Westeros.
* CoolHelmet: He wore a silver helm with falcon wings, making him an unmistakable sight on the battlefield, a fact he took advantage of using a body double.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: He founded the Arryn dynasty.
* GiantFlyer: The legendary Winged Knight was said to have ridden atop a giant falcon
* InSeriesNickname: "The Falcon Knight", "The Winged Knight".

----
* IWasQuiteALooker: By the time of Aegon's Conquest, she had lost some of her youthful beauty due to age - being 37 at the time - and childbirth.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Upon entering the throne room of the Eyrie to find Ronnel begging for a ride on Visenya's dragon, Sharra simply exchanged smiles with Visenya, sent for the three Arryn crowns, and offered them alongside the swords of her garrison.

* FamousAncestor: He became the first Arryn to bow to the Targaryens, but his later life also proved eventful, as his brother deposed and murdered him. The current Arryns aren't actually descended from him though, since he had no children to inherit his rule, so the rule of the Vale passed to another Arryn.
* LastOfHisKind: He was the last Arryn to wear the Falcon Crown.
* IronicNickname: He was known as the King Who Flew after Visenya took him on three rides on her dragon following the surrender of the Vale to Aegon. Later Ronnel flew out of the Eyire as an adult through the Moondoor, murdered by his own brother.
