Lorekeepers

The Lorekeepers are a sellsword company based in Oldtown. They are known for their love of historical mysteries, and their headquarters boasts an impressive collection of ancient tomes and obscure relics.

Born and raised in Oldtown, the twins Loras and Lewys both began studying at the Citadel in their youth. Their unruly behavior later led to their dismissal, much to the frustration of their inquisitive minds. Hoping to prove themselves worthy of readmission, they conjured up a grand plan to uncover ancient mysteries in the far east.

With the financial support of House Hightower, they organized an expedition of several ships and made their way east. After a near-death experience, however, Lewys underwent a spiritual reawakening. He insisted that they should abandon their eastward travels and return to the Free Cities to proselytize the Faith of the Seven - but Loras stubbornly refused to turn back. The expedition thus splintered into two.

After ending his modestly successful adventure, Loras returned to Oldtown, where his merry band evolved into a sellsword company. They established a headquarters on the west bank of the Honeywine, and remain bitter rivals of the Lightkeepers.
