Originally First Men who survived the coming of the Andals, house Yarwyck has mixed with the many Westerland houses who settled after the Andal invasion and are now a fairly mixed bloodline that leans toward Andal features of light brown and blonde hair with pale eyes in blues and grays.

Family Tree
History
Origins
The Yarwycks are an old proud house of First Men heritage and have held Wyckhall since before the coming of the Andals. Some say they retained their house because they did made a deal to allow the Andals past, refusing to hold the Wyckway, others say their prowess in repelling the Andal invaders earned them such esteem they were shown mercy. The truth to this day is unknown.
Targaryen Dynasty
House Yarwyck was like many Westerland houses in attendance for the field of fire, but many of their men survived having been far enough from the center of the lines to feel the heat of Balerion's flame but not suffer for it. After this they were also involved in Aegon's conquest of the Iron Islands and maintained a small force on Great Wyk, suffering endless skirmishes with house Goodbrother before withdrawing when the Riverlanders took over the occupation of the islands.

Seat and Holdings
Known as the "Guards of the Wickway" the Yarwycks rule Wyckhall which rests at the other side of the mountains the gold road travels over at the end of a dark pass through a crack in the mountains known as "Wickway" for the need of torch or lantern to see in it even during the day. The Yarwycks are an old proud house of Firstmen heritage and work often with the Lydden's of Deepden to safeguard the Gold Road from Deep Den to Wyckhall.
