House Tarth of Evenfall Hall

Before bending the knee to anyone, the lords of Tarth wore their own crown. From that era comes the title Evenstar, still given to the head of the house and said to date back to the Dawn Age.

The family claims kinship with the Durrandons, the old Storm Kings, and with the Baratheons who followed them. Later they would add a tie to House Targaryen to that list.

Under Aegon I's reign, the wife of the Lord Tarth of the time gave birth to three girls at once. Queen Rhaenys, always looking to weave alliances among the houses of Westeros, saw an opportunity in them and betrothed each one separately to the Hightowers, the Corbrays, and the Harlaws.
