Gypsies were known for their freedom, unburdened by official bonds or pompous titles. It was rare for them to seek leadership or to assign representatives to speak on their behalf, as their presence was always fleeting, and their place of residence never fixed.

The Gypsies were content with their choice to remain leaderless. That is, until a young man named Rhaegar appeared, as if from nowhere. He exuded such an overwhelming aura of strength and power that it was impossible to ignore, let alone control.
