The Band of Blue was established in 363 AC during The Battle Between the Blueberries on the Gold Road. After the successful repulsion of the attackers, the knights in the party vowed to protect the small folk, for a fee fitting of the small folk. Whether it be clothing, food, or other sort of recompense the knights would take the job. Throughout the years the company would grow, and the knights would take on more noble ventures, especially during the War of the Seven Banners, but their framework to protect the small folk of Westeros stayed the same.
