House Greyiron

House Greyiron of Orkmont rule as the Kings of the Iron Isles. They claim descent from the legendary Grey King of the Iron Islands.

History
In the ages before the Kingsmoot, House Greyiron ruled as Salt and Rock Kings of the Island of Orkmont. Urras Ironfoot of House Greyiron was elected by kingsmoot as the first High King of the Iron Islands. When his son Erich Greyiron attempted to claim the throne by right of lineage, he was threatened with death and stepped down. For the following centuries, all kings were elected by kingsmoot. Upon the death of King Urragon III Greyiron a kingsmoot was called. The former king's eldest son, Torgon, was away on a reaving and was not told about the kingsmoot. Another king, Urrathon IV Goodbrother, was elected in his stead. Torgon claimed that this election was unlawful, and overthrew king Urrathon. Torgon denounced the practice of the kingsmoot, and from that point forward the Kingship of the Iron Islands became hereditary.
