At the great Anniversary Tourney of 272 AC, held to commemorate Aerys’s tenth year upon the
Iron Throne, Joanna Lannister brought her six-year-old twins Jaime and Cersei from Casterly Rock to
present before the court. The king (very much in his cups) asked her if giving suck to them had “ruined
your breasts, which were so high and proud.” The question greatly amused Lord Tywin’s rivals, who
were always pleased to see the Hand slighted or made mock of, but Lady Joanna was humiliated.
Tywin Lannister attempted to return his chain of office the next morning, but the king refused to accept
his resignation.
In 273 AC, however, Lady Joanna was taken to childbed once again at Casterly Rock, where she
died delivering Lord Tywin’s second son. Tyrion, as the babe was named, was a malformed,
dwarfish babe born with stunted legs, an oversized head, and mismatched, demonic eyes (some
reports also suggested he had a tail, which was lopped off at his lord father’s command). Lord
Tywin’s Doom, the smallfolk called this ill-made creature, and Lord Tywin’s Bane. Upon hearing of
his birth, King Aerys infamously said, “The gods cannot abide such arrogance. They have plucked a
fair flower from his hand and given him a monster in her place, to teach him some humility at last.
