The Waelish were led by their king, the [[Black Bear]], who had corrupted the [[wightswight]]s and commanded monsters, including the wolf [[Fenris]]. The gods initially refused to intervene in the battle, fearing the end of the world, but eventually [[Friag]] appeared. Her boasts bound the Black Bear to his land.
