[AC]

Name and House: Ella Mallister (née Greyjoy)

Age: 24

Cultural Group: Ironborn

Appearance: To look at her, few would think Ella to be a daughter of the harsh and austere Iron Islands. Indeed, the Lady of Seagard would not look out of place in the great courts and seats of the mainland, with her rosy full lips, enchanting sea-green eyes, and glossy dark hair making her a remarkable beauty. This is all intentional. While her wardrobe is vast and varied with the latest in high fashion, she will more often than not cloak herself in the purple and silver colors of her adopted House, with blacks and goldens being a far rarer sight and never worn together.

Starting Location: Opening Feast

Rogar Timeline: 

209 AC - Rogar is the first born son of Belthasar Bolton through his first and only wife, Barbra Locke. It is said Rogar was a strange child, rarely crying or laughing. Some mused he was the perfect baby, since he seemed content all to himself. Others found his claim demeanor as an infant eerie. 

211 AC - Two years on from his name day Rogar was joined by twin brothers, Roose and Edrick Bolton. The twins were more traditional in their behavior as babies compared to Rogar. The three boys being so close in age grow up very close, though Rogar being the heir and future lord was never questioned by his siblings. 

215-223 AC - Belthasar had been raised a military man and he ensured his son and heir was as well. Rogar’s education consisted of learning how to wield a sword, lead men in battle, and later he developed a desire for it, how to siege an enemy. Once old enough, he took over as commander of the Blackguard, a special group of Bolton cutthroats dedicated to serving the Lord of the Dreadfort. 

227-228 AC - Rogar is wed to Della Whitehill, a banner house of house Bolton. Within a year the couple had their first of two children, Ramsay Bolton. The celebration for the next in line of the Dreadfort was short lived though, as war was on the horizon. 

229 AC - Rogar was battle hardened and tested during the Ironborn invasion of that year. Proved to be a natural at leading men, inspiring those under his command. His father and brothers also fought, proving house Bolton to be a considerable force among the Northern warriors. His father Belthasar was injured in the battle, and while it did not lead to his death like Lord Stark, it did cause Belthasar to turn more and more control of the Dreadfort and Bolton affairs over to Rogar. 

231 AC - A second son was born to Rogar named Royce. His beloved wife suffered from a difficult pregnancy and became ill shortly after Royce was born. To make matters worse, the establishment of the Hundred Axes had upset Bolton’s allies Karstark and Umber, prompting a response. Rogar took it upon himself to escalate tension by deploying raiding bands of Freefolk and outlaws to counter the Hundred Axes efforts. His father Belthasar did not approve of such actions but was becoming weaker and weaker by the year. More and more, everyone looked at Rogar as the head of the house. 

234 AC - Rogar’s father Belthasar died finally making him the official lord of the Dreadfort. 

238 AC - There is a bloody incident between Mormont and Bolton that ends with one of Rogar’s cousins dead. This causes tensions to rise between the factions. 

239 AC - War in the Stepstones begins and Manderly commits their fleet to the effort. Rogar and Bolton allies instead started to size-up just how well protected Manderly lands really were. In previous years Rogar had visited Manderly lands and began to desire the wealth and resources of Manderly. 

245 AC - Over the years, Rogar’s beloved wife’s health has deteriorated to the point he no longer allows anyone but the closest family to see her. She seems to be bedridden, and unable to care for herself. This has caused Rogar to become more cold and calculating, and his desire to expand Bolton lands especially in the direction of White Harbor to grow tenfold. 

250 AC - Rogar finds his house and faction in an advantageous situation. Manderly is supposedly being harassed by pirates out of the sisters, the Starks have disgraced themselves by breaking up a royal marriage, and the alliance between Bolton, Karstark, Umber and others is stronger than ever. As a Bolton contingent travels to King’s Landing to celebrate the birth of another princess, Rogar wonders if not is the right time to sharpen our blades.

Ramsay Timeline: 

228 AC - Ramsay was born to Rogar and Della Bolton, the first of their two children. As a baby he was very different from his father in that he was a happy baby, always smiling and joyful. Many remarked how much he favored his grandfather Belthasar. 

231 AC - Ramsay’s baby brother, Royce is born. This is Ramsay’s only sibling and the two grew up close as their name days are near each other. 

233-243 AC - Ramsay proved to be very agile and gifted on his feet as a child; running along and playing on the ramparts of the Dreadfort. As the years went on, he took to the sword, and proved to have the heart of a Northman fighter. He also proved to be very sneaky, hiding and running away. 

245 AC - Ramsay becomes a member of the Bolton Blackguard and under the wing of his uncle Roose who is the current commander of the group. The plan is for him to one day take over direct control of the group like his father before him. 

247 AC - Ramsay spends much of his time hunting and fishing around the Dreadfort. He enjoys butchering his kills and skinning their hides. 

248 AC - Rogar begins to bring Ramsay closer into his inner circle and includes him in his plans to take Manderly lands. As his father’s trust grows, Ramsay becomes more confident in his abilities to one day lead his family and house. 

250 AC- Ramsay travels to King’s Landing for the feast.

Name and House: Robyn Serry

Age: 22

Cultural Group: Reachman

Appearance: The third-born son of Edmund Serry is the greediest of the lot, or so says his mother. Taller than his brothers and more well-muscled besides, Robyn has been the envy of the Serry boys since the first morning a sword was pressed into his hand and he was made to learn the craft of war. A mess of dark curls sit above an anvil brow, oft furrowed. He keeps a neat black bear. His eyes borrowed more brown from his mother than hazel from his father. When not in the yard he moves with a slow, deliberate care - as though he fears the world might break if he goes any quicker.

Name and House: Edmund Serry

Age: 50

Cultural Group: Reachman

Appearance: To look at Edmund Serry, one might be forgiven for thinking him more a statue than a man. Though neither particularly tall nor impressiely built, his frame belies the harshness of the man behind soft hazel-hued eyes. This isn't to say he is without warmth. Dining compansions have oft remarked of Edmund's dry wit. He tends to dress in conservative colours; in browns and blacks and greys. He remains clean-shaven. His hairs, which hangs below the ears, still retains the black of his youth, peppered through with grey.

Skill(s): Avaricious, Espionage, Sabotage

Talent(s): Law, History, Heraldry

Negative Trait(s): None

Starting Title(s): Lord of Southshield, Keeper of the Texts

Starting Location: King's Landing

Timeline:

200 A.C.

Edmund Serry is born to the second son Jon Serry on Southshield. The holdfast is small and the hall draughty. Two of its towers are crumbling.

210 A.C.

Displaying little skill in arms, Edmund is sent to study at the Citadel in Oldtown. He lives in a modest house with his uncle, Richard Serry.

218 A.C

Edmund removes himself from his studies at the Citadel. He has earned a link of copper for his knowledge of history; yellow-gold for knowledge and accounts; bronze for astronomy, but he will not swear his Maester's oath. He marries Leona Oldflowers, whom he has known for some years, in a small ceremony on Southshield. Later that year he returned to Oldtown to enter into business as a cloth merchant alongside his uncle Richard.

219 A.C.

Jordan Serry is born to Edmund and Leona.

220 A.C.

By this point Edmund and Richard's business venture has proven moderately succesful. Enough to procure a single ship. They give it the name The White Rose. By the middle of the year Edmund sails toward Lys in a bid top widen trade links.

227 A.C.

After close to a decade of work, Edmund's modest business has flourished into considerable success. With links to Lys, Tyrosh, Pentos, and Braavos, the flow of goods between the Free Cities and their shops in Oldtown see the Serry coffers full. Edmund counted House Otherys in Braavos among his patrons, where he was exposed further to matters of finance. While Across the Narrow Sea, he took on the role of a merchant, a debtor, and a diplomat at various stages. The outbreak of hostilities between House Tyrell and House Hightower saw temporary closure of their shops in Oldtown.

228 A.C.

Sporadic visits home to his small house in Oldtown had resulted in a growing family, and in this year House Serry saw its newest member in Robyn Serry.

230 A.C.

Edmund returns from the Free Cities to deal with a growing crisis at home. His uncle, Richard, stands charged with financial crimes in Oldtown. Edmund returns to the Citadel to brush up on the law and argues Richard's case. The result is a costly victory; though Richard is free, the propery owned by the Serrys in Oldtown is declared forfeit. They return to Southshield.

240 A.C.

Having left no heirs of his own, Edmund inherits the Lordship of Southshield following his brother's death. The modest holdfast has become a small keep; the hall repaired to keep the draught out, the towers repaired. Some trade flows through Southshield owing to Edmund's old contacts, Southshield having become largely a dyers haven. Edmund plies his trade in the law, serving the Hewetts as a Reeve.

250 A.C.

His name known enough to attract the attention of the Tyrells in Highgarden, Edmund occupies the office of Keeper of the Texts for Perceon Tyrell, and as such finds himself travelling to King's Landing as part of his Lord Paramount's retinue.

226: Gwayne Rowan, eldest child of Lord Rowan, is born

246: After yet another incident that threatens to bring scandal to House Rowan, Gwayne is 'advised' to leave Westeros for a period of time to let tempers cool. Though never formally disinherited, Lord Rowan begins to instruct Gwayne's younger brother Cleyton on how to rule.

246: Gwayne Rowan finds service with the mercenary company The Stormbreakers. His skill with weapons increases significantly, making him perhaps the deadliest blade in the entire company.

248: The Stormbreakers are hired by Westeros to act as a screening army. Though they take such heavy losses that the company essentially ceases to function, Gwayne performs admirably and slays several Tyroshi champions for his trouble. His sevrance pay is generous.

249: Lord Rowan and his son Cleyton are found dead in the forests around their lands. Though there are many suspects and rumors, nothing is ever officially confirmed.

250: Gwayne Rowan is found and informed that he is now the new Lord of Goldengrove. He is meeting the Rowan representatives at the feast in King's Landing.

Timeline

• 224 AC - Eleanor Blackwood is born, daughter of Ser Samwell Blackwood and Lynette Redwyne. She’s a sickly baby, and her parents wonder if they should leave the Order’s camp to raise her somewhere more permanent. Eventually, though, she grows healthy again. Her grandfather, Waltyr, insists they stay - and Eleanor is fond of him even before she can talk.
• 227 AC - Zia, Eleanor’s sister, is born. She is a smaller, stouter baby, but her hair is as dark as her kinfolk’s.
• 230 AC - Eleanor sneaks out of the camp in a carriage following her grandfather on one of his tasks, accidentally putting herself in the middle of a battle when a group of bandits assault the caravan. Two of the men with Ser Waltyr are slain, as is a camp follower, but the knight - despite his advancing age - slays the bandits nearly singlehandedly. He becomes alerted to his granddaughter’s presence when the sound of tears erupts from the carriage. Sweeping her up into his arms, he reassures her all will be okay. Already growing to adore the legacy of the knight, he becomes her hero in earnest. She begs him to take her out on more adventures, but he refuses until she is older and until her father approves.
• 234 AC - Eleanor asks her father to request copies of knightly tales from the Citadel, as well as accounts of famous battles. She knows she will never be a knight, but she insists that the Order could always use a sharp mind - and it becomes evident she is in possession of one. Surrounded by true heroes and the legends of old, Eleanor is instilled with strong morals and a perception of honour.
• 237 AC - After enough pressure, Eleanor finally is able to convince her grandfather to take her out on his journeys. Deep into his sixties, Waltyr is no longer the fighter he once was - but alongside his squire, Grance Baratheon, she learns from his example. He is still no slouch, either, with a mastery of technique and a still-impressive physical condition. 
• 239 AC - Waltyr dubs his squire, Grance, a knight. With his squire now released from his service, the old knight decides to forgo a new one in favour of teaching his granddaughter. She picks up some skill with a sword, but the majority of her skill seems to be in strategy. Able to identify weaknesses in lines and inspire men, Waltyr finds pride in the young woman as she learns.
• 242 AC - At eighteen years old, Eleanor has learned all she can from the Grandmaster, and leaves his service herself. She does not leave the Order, however, becoming an assistant to Waltyr’s second, Ser Luthor Dutton. Like her, Luthor’s skill with a sword was nothing to write home about, but he was a master of strategy himself. Expanding on Eleanor’s own experience, Luthor taught her how to ensure her men were well, and how to deal with being outnumbered - as the Order so often would be.
• 243 AC - Waltyr, his son, and his granddaughters travel to a tournament a ways from the Order’s camp. Samwell enters the joust, whilst the other Blackwoods simply watch and cheer on. However, tragedy strikes - in a tilt against a mystery knight, Samwell slips from his saddle and catches a lance in the neck, killing him instantly. Waltyr cautions forgiveness and patience from his granddaughters, a position that Eleanor reluctantly sides with, though Zia still demands justice. Despite her want for revenge, it does not occur, and the Blackwoods return home with Samwell’s body.
• 245 AC - For the first time in his life, Waltyr spends an entire year without journeying to serve the land. He seems to grow slightly pale and fragile, but he continues to serve as Grand Master despite it.
• 247 AC - Ser Luthor Dutton passes away, and Eleanor is assigned his place in the order. There is some discontent, as she is not a knight, but she pushes away the complaints and gets to work. She does a wonderful job, despite feeling slightly out of her depth. It does not get any better for her.
• 248 AC - Throughout the year, Waltyr’s condition worsens. He demands maester attention day in and day out, and finds it harder to do his duties. Much of his paperwork ends up on Eleanor’s desk, and is dealt with swiftly. She finds it hard to get to grips with everything, but persists. In the late months, Waltyr goes to sleep one day and remains in his bed from then on. Nobody is able to wake him besides Eleanor, who receives advice from him. Able to hear her grandfather’s wishes, and designated his successor, she assumes the position of Acting Grandmaster of the Order.
• 250 AC - As the realm celebrates in the capital, Eleanor leads a delegation of knights to King’s Landing to present their well-wishes to the King and his family, and reunite with old friends and companions.

Name and House: Ashara Nymeros Martell

Age: 20

Cultural group:Salty dornish/rhoynar

Apperance: A buxom and beautiful woman with olive skin, large dark eyes framed by thick eyelashes, full lips that are usually painted and a mane of luscious black hair that's dyed the colour of dornish red wine.

Trait: Mariner

Skills: Polearms, Water dancer, broker, merchantman, Navigator

Talents: Languages, music, poetry

Starting Titles: Princess, Sea Viper

Starting Location: King`s Landing

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashara Nymeros Martell was never one for conventionalities and it showed since the moment the came into this world the year 230 After Aegon's conquest. She would be the fourth and last child of Trystane and Belandra Martell, she was the spare for the spare's spare and for others that might have been a source of angst or worry, to Ashara it meant she had all the privileges of being a Princess of Dorne while avoiding any of the real responsibilities someone from her station should be part of.

Ashara's childhood was rather unremarkable in many ways but peculiar in others, she had come into the world into a family that loved her and always humoured her strange interests, she had loved her father and his nature as a dreamer had great influence on the young princess and while she clashed with her mother at times given her wild nature, it never stopped them from developing a loving relationship. Her siblings were another important part of her childhood, the youngest of them all always doing her best to join the other children in their wanderings, she was never the most eager to join in their games be it at home or at the water gardens but she had extracted great joy at simply being near her hatch.

Being the fourth child she was essentially given free reign on her studies, the child had demanded she was taught how to handle a spear and so she had been promised a tutor from Braavos to suit her slender frame, even more surprisingly for a dornish woman she had showed an eagerness for the sea, her father jested that perhaps he had allowed to many old rhoynar tales to be told by nursemaids and that he himself had perhaps shared the tale of Corlys Velaryon too many times to his youngest; whatever the origin for her fixations, they would be fulfilled.

For a while life seemed perfect, that is until her father suddenly died at sea in 245 AC, it had left the family completely shaken almost paralyzed until Garin got out the haze and managed to make their sister take up her new position seriously, something she thanked whatever gods were listening for she was not going to do the responsible thing. In the year of her father's dead and after putting all her knowledge of rethoric and history on the table to convince her older siblings to allow her youngest to leave on a long trading expedition.. To her surprised they had agreed.

And so she set sail from her homeland on the last gift given to her by her father, a ship of the highest quality in Westeros, The Sea Viper was no Sunchaser but it was hers and that made it more valuable than gold; so to break it in she first sailed into Shipbreaker bay out of spite. There she befriended Lucion Baratheon, curiously their friendship developed from opposite experiences with the sea, one had almost died when stepping on a ship while the other recklessly sailed into a dangerous bay for no other reason than pride.

After she left Storm's end Ashara sailed the narrow sea and visited all the Free Cities while going north, she stayed in each city just the minimum to buy and sell wares while building relationships with traders for what she truly cared about was exploring. From Braavos she set off to go to the farther north possible with a Ibbenese whaling ship for a guide, then she returned to Braavos for rest and repairs and from the bastard daughter she set sail towards Ibb itself.

She sailed close to Essos coast until she arrived at Lorath, there she went through the usual routine but did it with more haste than normal given the city unerved her, afterwards she went to the frozen coasts of Ibb where she got into the trade of ivory from so called unicorn horns, various whale related products and the Ibbenese craftmanship on the ivory they also sealed. Despite wanting to continue towards the thousand isles her Ibbenese friends told her it was dangerous trip that was simply not worth it, Ashara with a heavy heart listened to them so instead she sailed to the only surviving city of the once mighty Kingdom of Sarnor, that being Saath.

Her usual routine followed although the brash dornishwoman doubted she would see any sarnori traders near Sunspear given how dependant they were on foreign aid to simply survive; still it was a hopeful thought she harboured for the rest of travels. Ashara returned to Braavos and from there send various gifts to her siblings back in Dorne, some to her Baratheon acquaintance and one marvellous carved unicorn horn to the royal capital, there in Braavos she manage to befriend various local traders and got in some duels with a number of bravos who thought they could beast the sandal lady, but more importantly she made a personal account on The Iron Bank for any emergencies or sea related loses.

Once more she sailed and this one would be her most ambitious voyage, from Braavos she would sail to the ends of the world! By the ambitious nature of such voyage she was forced to hire a decent amount of sellsails for extra protection and given she had to go near the hellhole that killed her father she would not be cheap on the quality. She stopped on each city until she reached Volantis where she visited the temple of the red god and gave a small monetary offering as divine help never hurt, and again she sailed. Ashara had no intentions of being near the hellhole that was slavers bay and so she avoided it to go to her prize in the east, that being Yi-ti and Leng.

And from there she sailed to Asshai and would not stay long as after years she yearned for home, so after making the usual trading routine, one last stop at Leng and Yi-ti for expensive wares... she sailed to Westeros.

Biography:

Mors Yronwood was born the eldest son of Lord Uthor Yronwood by his second wife Shiera Dondarrion in 198 AC. Yet Mors was not born the heir to Yronwood, as Uthor who had been Lord of Yronwood since 174 AC had an elder son Arthur, by his first wife born in 190 AC. However, there were always questions over Arthur’s legitimacy as Arthur had been the product of an affair with the wife of a landed knight Ser Gerrin Cairn who was sworn to the Fowlers of Skyreach. After Ser Gerrin’s death, Uthor desperate for an heir, married his widow, Arthur’s mother and made him to be the Heir to Yronwood. However, she died shortly after and Uthor remarried in 196 AC to Sheira Dondarrion Mors’ mother. Mors’ birth was followed by the births of his younger brothers Desmond and Morgan.

Uthor’s two eldest sons Arthur and Mors grew up rivals despite the eight year gap between them. Both would become great commanders. By the time Mors was in his late teens he was leading minor military excursions to the Boneway or into the Dornish interior. While he wouldn't cut his teeth on real battle until later, these early expeditions showed his talent for organizing, inspiring and leading men tactically.

Mors’ father, Lord Uthor Yronwood had spent considerable time in Kings Landing from the time Mors was ten years old, when the Bloodroyal was first summoned by King Aegon IV and eventually made Master of Laws. As such, Mors often accompanied his father, attending the wedding of King Aegon IV and his second wife Leonetta Lannister. As children were born to the King and his new Queen, Mors, as a younger son, continued to be a frequent visit to the King’s court. Mors was fascinated by the Red Keep and spent much time exploring its architectural splendours in his frequent visits developing what was to be a life-long interest in architecture (Architect)

That was until the death of his elder half-brother Arthur Yronwood in battle in 221 AC aged 31 in an ambush set by bandits in the Red Mountains. A dynastic battle that would have likely broken out when Lord Uthor died was hence avoided. While Arthur had married, he had had no children and so, the title of Heir to Yronwood fell to Mors.

While the dashing young heir to Yronwood moved into his twenties was forging his reputation as a feared general and commander of men he was also popular with the ladies. However, it wasn’t until he met Moriah Drinkwater, a young woman who had spent her time as a lady in waiting at Sunspear, that he acquired his first paramour. Moriah gave birth to their son Damon in 223 AC. Damon’s illegitimacy meant that he could never inherit Yronwood. Nevertheless, Mors developed a deep love and affection for the boy.

In 227 AC, when Mors was 29, King Aegon IV died and his son Prince Rhaegal became King. The rising power of the Fowlers in the northwest of Dorne had concerned Lord Uthor for some time. When a dispute arose between House Fowler who had established a Stone and Sky Observatory and the Citadel who saw the observatory as a threat to their own reputation as a place of scholarship, Uthor saw an advantage to advance the fortunes and power of his own House in Dorne as second only to the Martells of Sunspear. Not only that, but Lord Uthor was deeply envious of the attention and prestige the Observatory was bringing to their ancient rivals. When Lord Fowler brought the dispute between himself and the Citadel to King Rhaegal and then the King’s Small Council, Lord Uthor, as the then Master of Laws, ruled in favour of the Citadel, as for years there had been rivalry and bad blood between Yronwood and Fowler.

The rivalry between Yronwood and Skyreach didn’t end there. Yronwood’s toll collectors, on the orders of Lord Uthor, would soon be found along the Prince’s Pass despite being within Fowler’s territory. Lord Uthor desired control over both entry points to Dorne, both the Stone Way and Prince’s Pass alike, believing it was owed to them as they were the guardians and first defence into Dornish territory. Mors and his younger brothers Desmond and Morgan were often assigned to escorting the toll collectors in the carrying out of their jobs. The whole dispute culminated in a skirmish when a Yronwood patrol party was found scouting out the Pass. War became likely with Mors, on the orders of his father, set to lead the Yronwood army into Princes Pass to besiege Skyreach, but the Martell ruler made both sides stand down.

In 227 AC pirates began to raid the coast of Dorne, and Dorne found it difficult to repel them as they never truly had the fleet to fight them off. The faction in the Dornish court called “The Spears” promoted expanding the Dornish fleet to defend their shores. Lord Uthor and his son Mors quickly became the leaders of the faction and petitioned both the Prince of Dorne and the King to act against the pirates or face their vassals taking matters into their own hands.  Never having been much interested in Dorne, King Rhaegel was forced to turn his attention southwards

Dornish troops, including those from Yronwood that were led by Lord Uthor and Mors, would be ferried in by Crown ships to lay siege to Ghaston Grey in an attempt to retake the prison island. They took heavy losses. Though they had victory, the Stepstones were still out of reach. Lord Velaryon, the leader of the royal fleet, was killed as was Manfrey Martell and Lord Uthor himself was wounded in the attack. When Lord Uthor died shortly after, Mors succeeded him as Lord of Yronwood.

The new Lord of Yronwood knew that he would need heirs and began looking around for a potential wife. His gaze fell upon Princess Vaella Targaryen, the half-sister of King Rhaegal, the daughter of Aegon IV and Leonetta Lannister. Mors was fourteen years older than his eighteen year old bride, but King Rhaegal agreed to his sister marrying one of the foremost Dornish lords and the two married at the beginning of 230 AC on her name-day. Their first son Edric Yronwood was born late in the same year and was named as Heir to Yronwood. The birth of Edric was followed two sets of twins Aemond – most often called Ormond by his fellow Dornish - and Aethan in 231. They were followed by another set of twins Edwyn and Edgar in 232 – not a year later. Another son Alaric followed in 233. Finally, two daughters Elia and Mariya arrived in 234 and 236. For while Vaella had a rest from childbirth, but four years later in late 240 AC she found herself with child once again. In 241 AC, Mors and Vaella’s son Edwyn (the elder of her second set of twins) died of a seizure at the age of nine. When their youngest son Daeron was born a few months later, Vaella overcome – it was said - with both exhaustion and sorrow at the death of one of her young children appeared to waste away. She died some three moons after Daeron’s arrival and was laid to rest at Yronwood.

In 245 AC the Prince of Dorne died and his daughter Deria, became the new Princess of Dorne. She immediately began favoring the ‘Silks’ and began promising a new era of reform. Deria has sought to emulate her Rhoynish ancestors by adopting Rhoynish dress and making Rhoynish music fashionable. This so-called Rhoynish Renaissance has seen the waning of the power and influncem of ‘The Spears’ faction in favor of the ‘The Silks, much to Mors’ chagrin. Seeking further trade relations, the Princess has extended a peaceful hand to the Free Cities - historical enemies of Dorne. While the overtures of peace has been of further chagrin to ‘The Spears’ faction, many of them Mors’ friends and chief supporters, Mors himself was pragmatic enough to understand the need to build economic and military ties through negotiated agreements. Since the ascension of Princess Deria, he has been working on negotiating trade agreements with carefully selected allies (Broker) mainly their Andal neighbours to the north, in particular his close relatives the Dondarrions in the southern Stormlands and the Ullers in the deep deserts of Dorne. While he still regarded the likes of Myr and Tyrosh as his rivals for more control of the Stepstones, the Lord of Yronwood was prepared to work with other Free Cities such as Braavos.

In 247 AC, Mors’ good brother (the elder half-brother of his late wife) King Rhaegal would take his own life. The following year, Lord Mors’ nephew by marriage, the new King Daeron II, would face his first major challenge as King, as slavers from Tyrosh and Myr began halting Westerosi shipping.  Numerous lords, including Mors, complained to the Crown about their shipping being harassed, leading to the King sending envoys to the Free Cities. It was to no avail. A large fleet from Myr raided Yronwood’s coasts as well as the islands of Tarth and Estermont to the north in the Stormlands. Mors’ own next brother Ser Desmond Yronwood and Mors’ own sixteen-year-old third son Aethan, Desmond’s squire, died in defense of Yronwood’s lands against the Essosi.

The Westerosi fleets from the Reach and the West, as well as the Eyrie and Driftmark would devastate the Essosi fleets and bring ruin to the Stepstones and the lands around Tyrosh and Myr, blockading both cities by sea until the Archon of Tyrosh sued for peace and the Magisters of Myr would do the same. There would be many heroes of the war from Dorne, who had much to lose being the closest to the attackers. Lord Mors led the Yronwood land forces admirably landing on the Stepstones and the Disputed Lands around Myr which were torched and sacked, with slaves being freed as they were found by the Westerosi seeking vengeance for his son and brother.

With victory secured, Dorne now looks to the Crown to be rewarded for their efforts, quick to point out that they once held nearly all of the Stepstones. Mors is particularly forthright, given his close marital relationship with the King, with his own children, including the next Lord of Yronwood being the first cousins of King Daeron II. The ambition to expand their territory to build up the Stepstones is in the forefront of Mors’ and his friends minds. The faction of ‘The Spears’, of which Mors is a leading member, see the Stepstones as a place to build a large military base to perhaps press the AEssosi Free Cities even further.

With several plans in mind Lord Mors and several of his close kin travel to Kings Landing in 250 for the King’s great tourney to celebrate the occasion of the 250^(th) year since Aegon’s Conquest, as well as the birth of his seventh daughter Princess Laena.

Biography: The heir to Yronwood, Edric is somewhat different to his father having a strong streak of Valyrian heritage in his physical appearance and disposition. He is far more scholarly than his father and has a flair for numbers and economics. As he grew older, his father would often joke that Edric was more suited to be a member of the Silks faction than his own Spears faction. While Mors is devoted to his eldest illegitimate son Damon Sand the Bastard of Yronwood, and his younger sons such as Ormond, Edgar and Alaric, he is more distant with Edric, his Heir. Nevertheless Mors recognises his eldest sons abilities and places him in charge whenever Mors needs to generate funds for his political and military ambitions and needs.

Timeline

232 AC - Ty is born to Hobb, a smith operating in King’s Landing, and his wife Prunella after seven years of marriage. As no other children are born to the couple, the boy is coddled immensely.

232 AC - 240 AC - The illiterate Hobb invests the profits of his smithy into hiring a tutor for his son, allowing him to learn to read and write, seeing an education as a way to potentially improve the family’s station in life once the boy has grown. Ty develops an interest in fighting and poetry as well as the personal arms used by nobility and knights alike.

240 AC - 246 AC - Hobb hires a wandering knight to instruct his son in arms and chivalry. Ty proves to be a quick learner and develops a fondness for his new instructor, Ser Lucas, seeing him as a secondary father figure. The knight is pleasantly surprised by the boy’s aptitude and makes a true squire, bringing him to various tourneys around the Blackwater Bay.

Ty receives a well-forged sword from his father for his sixteenth nameday as well as a new destrier from the knight. He names the sword and steed Smith’s Gift and Charity respectively.

However, a quarrel between his father and the knight results in the knight withdrawing from his tutorship of Ty, only offering to continue his training if the smith’s son joins him on his travels, leaving the city. A rift develops between the smith and his wife, too, though the reasons remain unclear to the former squire. Unable to abandon his duty to his family, he is forced to part ways with his mentor and begrudgingly takes on his duty as an apprentice in his father’s forge. He continues to train in secret, often blindsiding cocky men-at-arms who underestimate the peasant boy in contests of arms.

250 AC - Hobb prepares his forge for new patrons as the King calls for a feast. Ty sets his eyes on the coming tourney, despite not being an anointed knight and his father’s strict warning not to participate.

Starting Location: King's Landing

Alternate Characters: N/A

Garin Martell may be a second in line, but he's still a prominent individual within Dorne and within the House of Nymeros Martell. A dreamer through and through, his story never truly began until but a few years ago - his sister, Princess Deria Nymeros Martell, ascended as head of The Principality of Dorne in 245 AC. She was never expected to ascend so early into her life - but she ended up unexpectedly outliving her father. Trystane Nymeros Martell, their father and the former Heir of Dorne, died while journeying back from King's Landing in 245 AC - his ship and crew being lost amongst the Stepstones to a storm. Or as some suspect, to the pirates and reavers that traverse those dangerous waters.

Garin Nymeros Martell had neither an extraordinary childhood nor anything of note behind him. He holds neither ill will towards his family nor resentment towards his station - indeed he adored his father, who was a dreamer and vibrant man and loves his mother, the Princess Belandra Martell, who is a nurturing if firm woman. From the very start of life, he found himself surrounded by a court and a family who loved him as equally as his other two siblings, his elder sister Deria and younger brother Denzel.

Mayhaps they gave him too much care - partly spoiling him with treats, attention and stories of the legends of old. Dornish legends. Rhoynar legends. This fantastical childhood without worry or toil was spent amongst the water gardens, amongst maidens and servants and old wetnurses who would flood his mind with tale after tale. Stories of the might of Old Rhoynar, legends of a land where the water flowed unabated and beautiful cities with domed towers, dozens of water gardens, and floating homes. Being the second child, he was afforded more liberties in his studies - he learned basic manners, literacy and even the prose of good conversations. But perhaps because he was a second son, Garin was allowed to enjoy life with all its chaotic and amusing tricks.

Even as a young adult, the one fault of his father was that he took his son's word at face value - allowing him to be free of troubles, even when they were of his own making. Yet Garin’s fanciful youth should not be mistaken for unpreparedness or naiveness - not for him at least. When tragedy hit in 245 AC, the initial pain of losing his father was almost unbearable, but for his family he overcame it. It is he, who in the pain of loss, ultimately stirred his sister from her saddened stupor to at last take up her responsibility as Princess of Dorne. It is he who helped her manage those first initial moons of chaos and nervousness when dealing with the Dornish lords and ladies.

In those five years between 245 and 250 AC, Garin Martell has become a proactive individual. The Prince of Dorne is constantly traveling around the domains of his family, exercising their authority as Princes and Princesses of The Principality to keep the peace between the Yronwoods and Fowlers (albeit, he's often known for showing favoritism to The Fowlers when conflicts inevitably arise from the tensions their families pursue).

Whenever he's not representing his sister amongst the Sand Dornish, he will be found traveling around the Red Mountains, followed by a small party of Martell men at arms in order to keep watch for bandits or worse - hints of religious fanatics. Indeed, Sunspear has not forgotten the uprising of the fanatics, and these past five years have been spent ensuring that tensions do not leave an opening for such groups to rise again.

Garin Martell, in his travels and efforts to shore up the reign of his sister, has become the boot of Sunspear.

Timeline:

228 AC: Birth

235 AC: Full on fostering and education begins at Sunspear - Prince Trystane, not wishing to seem as if he's favoring one faction or another, chooses to keep his children directly under his wing. He takes personal charge in educating and raising them rather than sending them off to ward with one of the Dornish noble families.

245 AC: Prince Trystane suffers an untimely and mysterious death while returning from King's Landing. His ship is lost amongst The Stepstones, many allege a storm while some blame Tyrosh and Essosi pirates with killing the prince. Although such conspiracies are unfounded, for Prince Trystane was the first of the “Silk Princes.”

245 AC: In that same year, Prince Morion Nymeros Martell dies. The shock of his son's death culminating with his growing issues with obesity at last elicits a heart attack which brings him down. Prince Morion Nymeros Martell is the last of the “Spear Princes,” and subscribed to the conspiracy that Tyrosh killed his son in the last few moons he still lived.

245 AC: Princess Deria Nymeros Martell ascends, soon making her allegiance to The Silks clear. She ends up shifting many of the court positions to members of The Silk faction, and outside their presence in the inner court, The Spears are sent back home to their holdings in the Red Mountains and the such.

247 AC: Prince Garin, as key representative to Princess Deria Nymeros Martell, begins traveling around Dorne in order to deal with matters directly. Indeed, seeking to assert princely power, the duo turns directly to the lesser lords and masses in order to address their worries rather than rely on the traditional system of leaving it up to the lords of those lands. Prince Garin claims that such an approach will endear the masses to the Princess of Dorne, strengthening the unity of the Dornish people to their principal liege rather than simply their lord or lady.

Starting Location: King's Landing

Alternate Characters:

Born in 226 AC, Princess Deria Nymeros Martell is the eldest daughter of former Prince Trystane Nymeros Martell. Even from an early age, Deria Martell was constantly reminded of her status as future Princess of Dorne. Surrounded by wetnurses and raised in the opulence of Sunspear and its water gardens, she became extremely indulged in her daily life. With a constant focus on her, she became both a spoiled child and reportedly suffered from bouts of panic - although this second fact was/is kept hidden from the rest of the court.

Yet even with such stresses of court, her parents did genuinely love her. Her father Trystane especially did his best to personally educate her himself. He held a rather vivid love for mathematics, cyvasse and history - which he passed on to both his children. From an early age, Deria became immersed in history and often enjoyed listening to the takes of the Old Rhoynar and of the First Princes and Princesses of the Rhoynar. Her father even attempted to begin the construction of a new palace downriver just for her, but the idea was ultimately shot down by her grandfather - who wisely understood the waste of such a project.

Unlike her younger brother, Princess Deria did make excursions out to the rest of the realm. In her early adulthood, she often made stops at Highgarden and at various points in her life she was present in King's Landing alongside her father Trystane. Yet throughout it all, Princess Deria was firmly surrounded by her Dornish household - which perhaps has insulated her from influences and ideas found outside Dorne. Nowadays she's often known to remark “why not, it works in Dorne - so why not do it here?” whenever an issue arises and she must offer up a solution.

Princess Deria was forced to ascend, perhaps a bit too early, in 245 AC. In that year, Sunspear was struck by a double tragedy. First the disappearance and death of Prince Trystane Nymeros Martell on his return voyage from King's Landing which was followed by the death of the aging Prince Morion Nymeros Martell. With her father drowned in water and grandfather drowned in his own waste, Deria ascended as Princess of Dorne.

Her initial years proved themselves calm. Due to her youthfulness and soft features, she quickly became Dorne’s darling and often found adoration from the masses because of her comely looks. In those initial years, she continued to keep her grandfather's men at court but has since replaced them with lords, ladies and ministers recommended by her family - especially those pushed by her brother Garin. Yet as the years have gone on, she's shown more interest in the arts, history, and other subjects than true rulership. Chasing dreams and tales, she's made public her desire to build a new, Rhoynish inspired city at the site of Plankytown and seeks to remold the Shadow City as well. All in the image of the Rhoynish cities of old.

Whenever she's not dealing with morning matters, she will often be found planning and daydreaming about building a new Rhoynar home along the banks of Greenblood. Often away from the politics of court, she's left much of the governance to her ministers. However she does not waste an opportunity to endear herself with the people of Dorne and often travels along the Greenblood and beyond to seek their adoration.

In 250 AC, she took a break from this life of “peace” and adoration to head north to King's Landing - to exercise some true influence outside the silk lathered walls of the Sun Court.

• 236 AC: Tensions brew as Eliza does not produce more children despitedoing everything in her power to do so.
• 237 AC: Jon grows as Warrior made flesh, but his personality leaves much to be desired. Rowdy, short fused and bound to bottle at age of 14, many question his ability to one day take over his father's duties. Attempts to reighn Jon in lead to fights and do little to improve the grimm outlook.
• 239 AC: Tragedy strikes. In in a fit of drunken rage, Jon assaults and brutally attacks his oldest brother and his intended. Both succumb to their injuries. Eddwin disinherrits Jon, commaning him to never step foot in Maidenpool again. Jon leaves for Essos.

Timeline

• 218 AC: Justin is born the only child to Steffar Blanetree and Zhoe Nayland.
• 225 AC: Hearing secondhand the rumoured exploits of Ser Waltyr Blackwood, Justin begins dreaming of becoming a knight.
• 227 AC: Justin's father pulls some strings to help along his son's dreams, sending the young lad to Raventree Hall to page for Lord Lyonel Blackwood.
• 230 AC: A relentless pursuit of excellence earns Justin rewards and consequences. After a particularly bitter bout with an older boy in the training yard, Justin breaks his nose, and badly, but Lord Lyonel rewards the boy for his tenacity by naming him a squire.
• 231 AC: Squireship under Lord Lyonel takes a turn for the worst after a skirmish with Ironborn raiders sees Lyonel maimed. Justin, whose attention was split between winning his first kill and protecting his master, blames himself for the mishap. In penance, he commits himself to attending Lord Lyonel through his most difficult years.
• 234 AC: Justin's prospects suffer under Lord Lyonel, who recognizes the boy must soon become a man. Lord Lyonel convinces Ser Darnold Smallwood to take on the sprouting squire.
• 235 AC: Justin earns his first kill in the defense of his new master. A disagreement at the Inn of the Kneeling Man turns into a brawl. Ser Darnold gets caught up in the melee and one unscrupulous opponent pulls a rondel on him. Justin is quick to intervene, redirecting the rondel into its owner's belly. Ser Darnold vouches for the boy and they later celebrate.
• 236 AC: Two years of squiring for Ser Darnold Smallwood come to an end as Justin comes of age. Ser Darnold dubs Ser Justin at the Stoney Sept, the site of the Faith Militant's demise in the Riverlands. The dubbing comes with a brief history lesson about the downfall of Ser Martyn Smallwood.
• 238 AC: Ser Justin attends the funeral of Lord Lyonel Blackwood. In Lyonel's honour, Justin vows to escort smallfolk families through the Blackwoods' demesne for five years without compensation.
• 243 AC: A bandit raid near Pennytree draws an armed response from local patrols and Ser Justin. They arrive too late to make a difference. Of the survivors is a fresh widow named Sabitha. After hearing of her deeds, Ser Justin accepts her in his company.
• 247 AC: Lady Agnes Blackwood embarks on her tour of the North. Ser Justin joins her as one of her sworn shields.
• 248 AC: Deployed alongside Blackwood forces in the Stepstones, Ser Justin surmounts the walls of Myr and witnesses the horrors committed afterwards. He attempts in vain to prevent the worst of the victors' indulgences and is nearly killed for it.
• 249 AC: Justice against the sinners in Myr comes around. Ser Justin joins Ser Reynard Hill's forces against the Myrish veterans occupying Strongbox. The campaign is bloody and brutal, the castle's assault far worse than Myr's as many of the friends Justin gained on the campaign are lost to the fighting. The back-to-back campaigns, and the tragedies thereof, sour Justin's appetite for war. In search of old dreams and a new purpose, he joins Ser Waltyr Blackwood's famous Order of the Seven-Branched Tree.
• 250 AC: Now a man of chivalry, Justin joins other members of the Order on their travel to King's Landing.

• 243 AC: Tragedy strikes the Pennytree environs. A roving band of infamous bandits launch a daring and bloody raid. The senior Andahar is felled in the fields while Deremond dies in defense of his wife. The junior Andahar's wails earn him a similar fate, stirring Sabitha's fury. When she comes to, she is greeted by Ser Justin at the door of her home. Between them in a pool of blood lay bodies strange and familiar. Ser Justin and the local guard organize a somber funeral. Fueled by an unquenched vengeance, Sabitha offers to attend Ser Justin. When he says no, she insists.

Name and House: Edmund Wyl

Age: 32

Cultural Group: Stony Dornish

Appearance: Edmund Wyl

Trait: Numerate

Skill(s): Polearms, Essosi Blademaster, Architect (e), Shipwright.

Talent(s): Reading, Writing, Painting.

Negative Trait(s): N/A

Starting Title(s): Wyl of Wyl, Lord of the Boneway, the Black Adder

Starting Location: Opening

Biography: House Wyl has a reputation. An infamous one, most would say. Though never well-liked by the Marcher lords of the Stormlands (as one would expect from enemies that conducted several raids against one another), House Wyl earned itself a particular spot in infamy during Aegon's Conquest, thanks to the Wyl of Wyl, also known as the Widow-lover, whose deeds (or misdeeds) need not be recounted here.

In truth, Wyl of Wyl is the preferred title for those heads of House Wyl (a matter Wyls have been extremely insistent about over the years), as a title passed on through the ages, but only one has gone down in history as the Wyl of Wyl.

Regardless, even among Dornishmen, House Wyl are often considered half-mad in most cases, eccentric at best and full-blown insane at worst. A reputation that has often followed Lords Waldon, Wallace (half-mad), Wylis, Willem (eccentric) and Victor (insane). As such, most Dornish nobles tend to steer clear of the Wyls of the Boneway, which is also why they have largely stayed out of the Circle throughout the years, with House Wyl being perfectly content to stay away from both Spears and Silks.

Edmund Wyl, however, tends to believe that he's the sole exception. An exception to the rule by not being a lunatic. Born in 218 to Lord Willem Wyl and his wife Doreza Drinkwater, Edmund grew up an only child, knowing he'd be the Wyl of Wyl one day.

Though he vastly preferred to learn how to rule, his childish plans were dashed by his father, who sent him to squire with Ser Trebor Wyl, a distant relative (second cousin once removed). So, for many years, he learned how to fight and little else, as Ser Trebor knew very little of things he couldn't fight or drink. Knighted in 235 AC, Edmund began to slowly take a more active role in the day-to-day of the Boneway, because his father's eccentricity was actively ruining it, because Lord Willem tended to do things on a whim, such as taking a large loan from Pentos to build a war fleet. By 240 AC, Edmund had forced his father out of ruling entirely and set about fixing his father's mess. In 242 AC, his father passed away in his sleep, making Edmund the new Lord of the Boneway, though he had been the Wyl for half a decade in all but name. His mother followed his father to the grave less than half a year later.

The Wyl lands were barely out of the near ruin that Willem Wyl left them in. A large part of why Edmund had managed to turn things around (and paying off his father's debts) was trade, which was why Edmund was particularly miffed when Tyroshi and Myrish pirates began to harass his ships, among others. Thus, he took very little convincing in joining the war that started in 248 AC, though the war effort did bring his coffers back down. With his forces being some of the first on the Stepstones, he was also one of the first to join the fray, earning himself an epithet along the way when one Myrish deserter who spoke very little of the Common Tongue surrendered himself to "the Black Adder".

And Edmund is trying to open Wyl up to the rest of Dorne and take a more active role, but he is actively fighting against several generations of ill repute.

Timeline:

218 AC: Edmund is born at Wyl to Lord Willem Wyl and his wife Doreza Drinkwater.

230 AC: Edmund is sent off to squire for distant cousin Ser Trebor Wyl.

233 AC: On a whim, Edmund's father takes a large loan from Pentos with the aim of building a war fleet.

235 AC: Edmund is knighted. He begins to push out his father out of the business of ruling.

237 AC: By this point, Edmund has become Wyl of Wyl in all but name.

242 AC: Lord Willem Wyl passes away. Edmund becomes the new Wyl of Wyl.

247 AC: Edmund pays off his father's loan to Pentos.

248 AC: Wyl ships, among many others, are attacked in the Sea of Dorne by Myrish and Tyroshi pirates. Edmund joins the war in the Stepstones, earning himself the epithet of "the Black Adder".

193 AC: Edgar Sand is born as the bastard son of Ser Trebor Wyl.

200-205 AC: Because his father is one of Lord Victor Wyl's most trusted men, Edgar is given an education fit for a lord's bastard son, a promise honored by Lord Victor's brother Willem when he becomes the Wyl.

206 AC: Edgar's father takes him as his squire, but desists from the attempt when he realizes Edgar has next to no martial ability. His best attempts at making a warrior out of his son are utter failures and Edgar remains a scrawny youth.

224 AC: Lord Willem makes Edgar one of Edmund's tutors in administration.

242 AC: Lord Edmund, in one of his first official actions as the new Wyl, makes Edgar the Castellan of the Boneway.

• 230 AC: During the night of an Ironborn raid, Shyra Mormont goes into labor almost a month earlier than expected. As Lord Cregan and his heir, Roderick, fight reavers on the shores of Bear Isle, Shyra painfully births Sarra Mormont, losing so much blood that her survival stays unclear for a fortnight. Luckily, she does survive, though deciding together with her husband, that this was her final child for good.

• 235 AC: Kyra Mormont receives two small axes on her eigth nameday, which she names 'Tooth' and 'Claw'. She becomes inseperable from her axes, stubbornly refusing to train with any other weapon or even any other axes.
• 235-245 AC: Kyra spends most of her days training in the yard, brawling with her friends, hunting animals, or swimming in the ice-cold waters surrounding Bear Isle. It is almost impossible to find her alone, as she constantly surrounds herself with friends, both low- and highborn, yet mostly male and older than her.
• 235 AC: Unlike her older sister, who spends most of her day running around or fighting with boys her age or older, Sarra Mormont runs after Roderick, insisting on joining him in all his meetings and lessons, annoying him with endless questions.
• 238 AC: Rodrik is exiled to Essos after a bloody incident with another northern house.
• 240 AC: Sarra Mormont is permitted to join her brother on a diplomatic journey to another northern house for the first time, even partaking in the negotiations a little, but mostly listening to everyone.
• 244 AC: After much debating with her Master-at-Arms, Kyra finally accepts that 'Tooth' and 'Claw' are too small for her by now and takes on a pair of newly made axes, which she proudly names 'Squid Slayer' and 'Iron Tears' (despite not having a killed a single Ironborn as of yet)
• 245 AC: Yearning to learn more about her exiled older brother, whom she has been idolizing for as long as she could remember, Kyra decides to steal away at night in a ship manned mainly by her friends. She announced her goals in a letter that she had left in her empty bed. Using supplies and gold that she had taken (or 'stolen' in the words of her sister) from Bear Isle, she made it all the way to Pentos, where she found her brother in the service the Pentoshi Prince.
• 245-248 AC: Staying in Pentos with her brother, Kyra finds several minor jobs from the upper classes of Pentos, sustaining herself and getting her first taste of genuine, though small-scale fights, as well as her first experience of killing someone. She tries to spend any time she can with Rodrik, trying to learn from him all she can.
• 245 AC: After Kyra's disappearance, Sarra publicly sacrifices a pig at their Heart Tree to pray for Kyra's safe travels. Rumors go around that she meant to sacrifice a human, but are quickly quieted once Lord Cregan hears of them.
• 240-246 AC: Sarra Mormont starts taking more and more responsibility of the household over the years, slowly becoming the de-facto Steward of Bear Isle.
• 248 AC: Rodrik and Kyra are in Pentos when war between the Seven Kingdoms and the Slavers breaks out. They leave to join the Crown in the battle, meeting their brother Roderick again and watching him get killed in the battle. Together they return with Roderick's corpse to Bear Isle.
• 248 AC: Sarra Mormont mourns her brother's loss by staying in their Godswood for a fortnight, praying and sleeping under the Heart Tree.
• 249 AC: As Rodrik begrundgingly stayed home to learn about his duties as heir and future lord of Bear Isle, Sarra was similarly begrudgingly tasked with showing him the ropes in stewardship and politics.
• 250 AC: As the King invites the Realm to celebrate his daughter's birth, several members of House Mormont, including Kyra and Sarra Mormont, travel South to join the festivities

Timeline

200: Daeron is born, second son of Lord Gaelon Greyjoy and Maya Mallister, youngest of the "winged squids," as the Riverlander-Ironborn children were called by the Greenfolk. He was named after a Targaryan King. While they enjoyed exploring the cliffs and tidepools of Pyke, taking to sea with Gaelon and their cousins, and fishing for cod, the children were all raised under the eye of their mother and her Riverlander retinue.

209: Daeron's mother, Lady Maya, dies. In her later years she spoke often about her wish to see their family bridging the gap between the Islands and Westeros.

211: Daeron is made squire to his older cousin Ser Petyr Mallister, whose family insisted on Daeron taking up knighthood on behalf of the late Lady Maya. He travels to Seaguard and spends time training with longsword, shield, and lance. He's also taught to read. Daeron found it all bizarre and alien, but was fascinated by the greenfolk's lifestyle. Back in Pyke, many grumble and spit about a Greyjoy, second in line to the Seastone chair, training to be a Knight.

212: Barely a year after being sent to Seaguard, Daeron falls from a rounsy while training horsemanship and his left leg snaps. A surprising infection takes hold immediately, and despite the maesters' best attempts, the only way to save Daeron's life is to amputate. Daeron returns home, sullen and hurt by his experience on the mainland, while the lords of the islands whisper about the Drowned God's toll. Others just call him what he plainly was: "The Disappointment."

214: Daeron's brother Illin sires his first son, Egen, all but assuring that Daeron will never be Lord Reaper. During these dark, adolescent days of glowering solitude, the one habit Daeron does not drop from his time in the green land is reading.

216: Daeron is betrothed to Ylsa Volmark, a third daughter of the lord who helped his father absolve the Netley Tawney conflict. She 2 years his younger, and clearly resents the union and the sullen, crippled boy she was forced to wed.

217: Daeron and Ylsa's first daughter Dysha is born.

220: Daeron and Ylsa's second daughter Wylla is born.

221: Despite his disability, Daeron earns himself the title of Captain of his first longship, the Netted Saltwife.

227: Daeron's father, Lord Gaelon, is killed by Lysene pirates fighting around Ghaston Grey. Lord Gaeloen, still insisting on forging connections to the green land, volunteered a small, personal fleet of Greyjoy ships to join the attack on pirates across the Narrow Sea. When Gaelon's longship crumbled, Daeron stepped up and commands the fleet in retribution, crushing the pirates and sweeping a screen across the island's southern coast to support the Southron fleets. Illin, vocally, proposed a retreat. Daeron earns his first accolades as a captain and admiral, with the title of "The Disappointment" passing to Illin on the day of his ascent to lordship.

231: Daeron is travelling at sea when the strife over the Great Western Raids begins. He gathers a force to break the blockade of Pyke and end the siege. Daeron, well-read, engages in communique with the rebellious Lords Harlaw and Drumm: Though he owes his house his total allegiance and will fight for his blood, in truth he supports the cause of the reapers. Daeron attempts to negotiate, as do the rebels in earnest, but no agreement can be found. As conditions worsen with the execution of Drowned Priests, Daeron makes a daring attempt at smashing the blockade, if only to reach Pyke and put an end to his brother's mania. In the Battle of Ullion's Rock, Daeron's attempt nearly succeeds, but his longship is caught and rammed by Lord Harwyn Drumm's. It sinks, and Daeron is thrown overboard. Without support, he is unable to swim with his prosthetic, and Daeron drowns, but his body is collected up by Lord Drumm. Drumm's Drowned Priest gives him the kiss of life, reviving Daeron.

231: Daeron's brother, Lord Illin, is killed during the strife before the Great Western Raids, making his nephew Egen the new Lord Reaper under strict supervision and duress of the Reaver Lords Harlaw and Drumm. During the ensuing conflict, Daeron is still recovering from his deathly experience, and is treated like a hostage by the Reaver Lords. He keeps his head low. When the strife ends, he joins Lord Egen in the Arbor to witness the death of the upstart lords and priests, including the men who saved his life.

232: Daeron and Ylsa's first son, Eurrion, is born. The Greyjoy's family nanny, Ingrid, calls him sign from the Drowned God.

232-248: Daeron is a new man after the Great Western Raids and the birth of his son. With acclaim as a captain and admiral, a son to raise and an improved relationship with his wife, and blessings from the Drowned God, many see Daeron as a unique and fortunate man. He, however, struggles to fend off melancholy and mania. He keeps extraordinarily busy to the point of exhaustion, and he rarely grants himself a break before relieving his stress on his thralls (or nephews).

240: Tylen Kayce, the young Knight of Kayce, goes missing at sea in a storm, lost with his uncle while fishing marlin. Thrown overboard, nearly strangled by fishing net, dragged and downed behind his schooner, a drowned priest saves Tylen with the kiss of life. However, the act is not made out of generosity. Over the next year, a series of cruel and deranged trials would await poor Tylen, confined to an unknown and hidden grotto somewhere in the Sunset Sea. Twice more he would drown, and twice more the Drowned God would give him to gift of life.

242: The name "Ser Dread," rocks the Sunset Sea, his pirate company the Black Sails credited with the destruction and plunder of a Redwyne merchant fleet sailing between the Arbor and Oldtown. Ser Dread attacks, or is credited with attacks on, settlements and ships all across the Sunset Sea for the next decade. Daeron puts out a bounty of 100 Dragons on the phantom pirate's head (or, helm, since none have seen the man's face) in 245.

248: Daeron joined his lord nephew on raids and skirmishes across the Stepstones against Essosi piracy. Daeron excelled at naval engagements, tackling them with exacting swiftness. Though he never paid the iron price for his plunder, personally, the men at his command were methodical and serious reavers. Daeron's men in particular were infamous for their claims of thrall and saltwife rather than silver and gold.

248: Daeron becomes the Steward of the Iron Islands when his nephew, Lord Egen, is made Master of Coin and must move to King's Landing.

250: Daeron, his wife, and his children arrive in King's Landing as part of his nephew's retinue.

Biography:

Lord Roger Bracken's legacy had been defined a decade before his children were born. The Tourney of Maidenpool in 211 forever stained his honor. The burning anger with which Lord Roger snapped back at the accusations laid at his feet eventually subsided into a simmering one, turning him ever more bitter. Reputation no longer mattered, nor did honor, only retribution. If he could not repair his reputation, the Lord of Stone Hedge would not stand for his Blackwood rivals getting to keep theirs in the eyes of his peers. By the time of Jonothor's birth, his father subsisted on spite and little else, merely going through the motions dispassionately. Having a son to raise did break this stupor somewhat, because Roger's son and heir soon began to infuriate him. His old temper returned, and Jonothor proved to be the heir apparent to that as well. It wasn't long before loud, thunderous lectures turned into shouting matches.

Jonothor's sheer stubborness made him a good fit for the training yard. He was slow to obey instructions, but even slower to yield. Repetition eventually hammered him into a good soldiers. His interests did not extend far beyond soldiering though. Ballads and epics became an escape from the cynicism of his lord father, and Jonothor developed a rather romantic notion of what a lord ought to be, in reality closer to a tourney knight than anything else. Tourneys also became an appealing spectacle, partly because Lord Roger despised them. It was hard to bar a young lordling from such acceptable hobbies, however, and Lord Roger eventually resigned himself to piling twice the lessons in stewardship onto his daughter Leyla. Grance, the younges son, was briefly drilled against his will before being left to the library without further quarrel. Any hope there might have been of replacing the heir with the spare died the day the boy was born with a twisted arm that never properly grew. The notion of a lord who couldn't even hold a sword and shield for appearances sake was dismissed out of hand.

In his early adolescence, Jonothor finally discovered the cause of his father's bitterness, the fateful tourney two decades ago. The discovery only further emboldened his ambitions. He would best the Blackwoods in the lists and his own father in the annals of history. When war broke out in the narrow sea, he was overjoyed and eagerly took part in the Bracken force. Roger allowed it on one condition, that he marry before departing for the east. Jonothor obliged without much afterthought. By his reasoning, accepting without quarrel saved him time that he would otherwise be obliged to waste on courtship. He was wedded and bedded with Sara Mallister shortly before his departure, but it was an awkward encounter which did little to create a desire for more. Jonothor had known for several years by that point that women stirred no lust in him whatsoever. In his late teenage years he'd been close with a squire named Quent Perryn, though they had eventually gotten in a quarrel so inflamed it ended in a duel to first blood a few years prior. He departed for Essos to a polite but awkward farewell from his wife. During the campaign, his father often had to remind him to send letters home. The war was a highlight of Jonothor's life so far, fighting in the cavalry with his fellow knights. There was no shortage of glory to go around, though even among allies he was known to be quarrelsome, quick to request duels to first blood over petty disputes and offenses. In one such case he fought another knight over which one of them had captured a Myrish banner. Another was over a pair of golden spurs from a slain mercenary.

When Lord Roger and Jonothor returned to Stone Hedge, they were met with news of Lord Roger's new grandson. It was not Lady Sara Mallister's child however, but Jonothor's sister Leyla who had gotten pregnant shortly before his wedding. As if this wasn't bad enough, Leyla eventually admitted that the boy's father was a Stark of Mudgrave, from the same house as House Blackwood's most prestigious bannerman. The revelation was enough to give Lord Roger a stroke. Proving to be a disobedient patient, Lord Roger continued to drink as much wine as before, and was dead of his second stroke within a year. While he was buried with all the honors befitting his standing, none of his children spent very long mourning him. Jonothor was also angry with Leyla for the dishonor she'd brought on House Bracken, yet he was also increasingly dependent on her to run Stone Hedge in his father's absence. His grudging decision to let her and her son remain at Stone Hedge without punishment prompted their mother, Alyssa Bush, to join a convent in dissaproval.

Since the war, Lord Jonothor has devoted his attention towards training, tourneys, and awaiting an opportunity to humble the Blackwoods and their underlings

Timeline:

224: Jonothor Bracken is born as the eldest son and heir of Lord Roger Bracken

234-241: Jonothor becomes an eager and combatitive squire, idolizing tourney knights and the sport of jousting. He grows increasingly close to a squire named Quent Perryn

242: Jonothor earns his spurs. His relationship with Quent becomes increasingly riven by arguments. They part ways following a duel to first blood

243-246: Jonothor rides in several tourneys and challenges many other men to spar and duel with him. He largely neglects his education in administrative matters, leaving stewardship duties to his sister Leyla

247: Jonothor joins the war with Pentos and Myr as part of the riverlander cavalry, serving under his father. Before departing, he has to agree to marrying Sara Mallister. Jonothor accepts without quarrel, eager to remove an obstacle to him being able to go to war. There is little attraction between the bride and groom. The wedding night dispels any doubts Jonothor had about his preference for men

247-248: Jonothor fights in Essos. Even in wartime, he quarrels frequently with his allies, yet acquits himself well as a cavalryman. Upon returning home, he learns his sister has a bastard son, fathered by a Stark of Mudgrave. Lord Roger suffers a stroke

249: Lord Roger Bracken dies, leaving Stone Hedge to Jonothor. Jonothor grudgingly decides to let Leyla and her bastard remain at the holdfast so she can continue to oversee the daily running of the holdfast and its estates. Their mother, Alyssa Bush, takes vows in a convent in protest and dissaproval

250: The Brackens travel to the celebrations in King's Landing

Rodrik’s Timeline

**216 AC** - Rodrik and Roderick are born on Bear Island to Lord Cregan Mormont and his wife, Shyra Mormont née Blackwood. Identical twins, Roderick is the heir as he was the first to come out into the world.

**223 AC** - Edric Mormont is born to Lord Cregan and Shyra, the third and last son of the couple.

**226 - 230 AC** - Rodrik is sent to be a ward of Lord Alaric Stark at Winterfell, while Roderick stays at Bear Island to be educated on his future lordship duties. As time passes, Rodrik grows tall and strong, like a true Mormont, and instead of only watching and learning from Alaric’s duels, he becomes one of the main sparring companions of his guardian. 

**227 AC** - Kyra Mormont is born to the Lord and Lady of Bear Island, their first daughter.

**230 AC** - The Ironborn raid the North. Rodrik fights alongside his guardian but is unable to prevent Alaric’s defeat, a haunting memory to him. Lord Cregan defends Bear Island, and while he is able to repel the ironborn, many died in the battle, including his middle brother and two of his nephews. While the battle of Bear Island is happening, Lady Shyra goes into labour and gives birth to the second daughter and last child of the couple, Sarra Mormont.

**231 AC** - Rodrik is a founding member, and also the youngest, of the Hundred Axes of Alaric. He swears revenge on the ironborn, alongside his cousin and now Lord of Winterfell, Torrhen Stark. Alongside the Axes, Rodrik roams the North fighting and responding to skirmishes, much like his guardian used to do.

**238 - 244 AC** - After a bloody incident with House Bolton, Rodrik is forced to go on a temporary exile to Essos in order to maintain peace in the North. In the east, he becomes a sellsword and joins the Company of the Rose. Mercenary work is not honorable, but it is quite bloody and allows him to further hone his combat, or killing, skills.

**244 - 248 AC** - As he makes a name for himself around the Free Cities, the ever paranoid Prince of Pentos hires the service of Rodrik as his personal bodyguard. The Mormont warrior saves him from many threats and defends his honor in many duels, and they become close friends. The people of Pentos begin to call the Westerosi warrior as “Gryves”, the valyrian word for “Bear”.

**248 AC** - When the war between the Seven Kingdoms and the Slavers breaks out, Rodrik leaves Pentos and joins the Westerosi. His twin brother, Roderick, also goes to war, but is killed right in front of Rodrik. After the war, Rodrik returns to Bear Island with the remains of his brother.

**249 AC** - Now the heir to Bear Island, Rodrik begrudgingly stays home to be educated onto his new and also future lordly duties. His relationship with his father, already a weak one, further deteriorates as he is unwilling to give up his adventurous nature.

**250 AC** - With news of the birth of the King’s daughter and the invitation for the celebrations which are to follow in the capital, most of the Mormonts travel to King’s Landing.

Cregan’s Timeline

Biography:

Born in 199 AC to Lord Alaric Stark of Winterfell and Lady Kyra Mormont, Torrhen Stark was the first-born of his father’s second marriage and grew into a figure defined by strength, duty, and loss. His early life was one of constant motion, riding alongside his father to administer the North and witnessing firsthand the harsh realities of its fractured politics. Torrhen’s elder half-brother, Roderick Stark, born in 197 AC, was a distant but dutiful sibling, shaped by a different mother and a different era. Raised during his father’s reign as Lord of Winterfell, Torrhen was thrust into the harsh realities of the North from an early age. Alongside his brothers, he followed Alaric in the saddle, riding from castle to keep to administer justice and manage the vast, often unruly, northern domain. Strength became Torrhen’s defining trait, both in physique and spirit. A near image of his father in his youth, Torrhen took to wielding great two-handed weapons, particularly a long axe, like his father, with relentless determination.

The loss of his youngest brother, Brandon, cut deeply, and when Torrhen’s first son was born in 227 AC, he named the boy in his memory. The birth of Brandon Stark rekindled Torrhen’s hope, but it also marked the end of Roderick's chapter in Winterfell. Seeing himself as an outsider and desiring a purpose beyond familial strife, Roderick voluntarily joined the Night’s Watch, a decision that cemented Torrhen’s sense of isolation and responsibility. He was stirred by his older brother's decision to instead bring honor to the house by taking the vows of a Black Brother in order to safeguard the realms of men - and his family - from afar. However, this was but a bandaid to the number of issues House Stark of Winterfell would face. The younger brothers fought together during the Ironborn Rebellion of 229 AC, earning a reputation as warriors who seemed to channel the fury of the First Men. It was Harrion’s shield that saved Torrhen’s life during the thick of fighting in their younger years. And again, Harrion would serve as his nephew's shield with Myr and Tyroshi blood on their blades years later.Tragedy struck during the Ironborn invasion, claiming the lives of both young Eyron and Brandon, and his father the following year due to injuries. The losses forged Torrhen into a hard and determined man. Following their deaths, Torrhen entrusted the preservation of their remains to Edyth the Woods Wytch, a young woman who had learned the ancient practices of preservation and healing from her mother, a revered figure in Wintertown. Alys' connection to the old ways and her knowledge of the godswood made her invaluable, though her strange presence sometimes unnerved those unfamiliar with her craft. To Torrhen, she was not only a healer but a keeper of tradition, preserving the legacy of his brothers for their final resting place beneath Winterfell. In return, he was to foster her own child **Edyth Snow** at Winterfell. Though that following year, Torrhen's wife gave him a beautiful daughter - dubbed Lyarra Stark.

When Torrhen ascended as Lord of Winterfell, he leaned heavily on Lord Cerwyn, a man as pragmatic as he was loyal. Cerwyn formed the Hundred Axes, an elite group of warriors dedicated to quelling skirmishes and upholding Stark authority across the North; his legacy continues in the Hundred Axes who shares his father’s commitment to the Stark cause but struggles with the growing unrest among the North’s bannermen. Much to House Bolton's dismay. Torrhen also became close to Maester Olyvar, a meticulous and scholarly presence at Winterfell. Olyvar’s practical wisdom often balanced Torrhen’s fiery temperament, offering insight into both Northern politics and the greater realm. It was Olyvar who advised Torrhen to send a token force to aid in the Stepstones, a decision that preserved Northern pride while avoiding unnecessary loss of life. His son, and brother would take part of that token force - but he wouldn't leave the coasts of Westeros. With both his brother and heir bloodying their blades he remained behind to administrate the North with his family who still lived.

Now at 51, Torrhen serves King Daeron II Targaryen as Master of Laws, a role he has held since 247 AC. Though far from home, he remains a wolf at heart, bound by a sense of duty to the North, his family, and the oaths he swore in the godswood decades ago. His trusted allies stand as reminders of the past, while the Hundred Axes carry the spirit of House Stark’s resilience. Even as he navigates the intrigues of King’s Landing, Torrhen’s mind drifts to the North, where the weight of unfinished promises rests yet unlighted, his council is graced by fallen kindred - he feels for them as distant family since they share the same name - but he feels no warmth from them. Even if he were to give them the hospitality of the North, ice melts fast in the South. His time administrating has salted his appetite for hunting. The bitter Lord of the North favors literature and prose more so now in these latter years than ever.

Biography:

Born in 227 AC as the eldest son of Lord Torrhen Stark and his wife, Brandon Stark has lived a life shaped by the weight of legacy and the thrill of battle. At 23 years of age, Brandon embodies the fiery courage and unyielding resolve of House Stark, tempered by an unshakable sense of honor and an often oblivious disregard for the subtle games of court politics. His boldness and charm have won him admiration, but his lack of guile leaves him ill-equipped to navigate the treacherous waters of the South.

Brandon was raised in the shadow of Winterfell, steeped in stories of his family’s struggles and triumphs. Tales of his father’s battles and the sacrifices of his uncles shaped his early understanding of leadership—one built on strength and directness rather than intrigue. From a young age, Brandon trained tirelessly with the castle’s master-at-arms, favoring two-handed weapons, particularly the long axe, but his heart was set on the ancestral sword of House Stark, Ice. His skill and dedication earned him the respect of his peers, but it was his raw enthusiasm for the fight that set him apart.

When the call of adventure came, Brandon eagerly joined the wars in the Free Cities, where he fought in the Myrish and Tyroshi conflicts. His bravery and skill on the battlefield won him glory, but his tendency to throw himself into the fray without a second thought also brought danger. Brandon’s comrades admired his unyielding spirit, but his reckless abandon worried those who saw him as the future of House Stark. To Brandon, though, battle was simple—a place where strength and courage mattered more than schemes or whispers.

Returning to the North, Brandon’s reputation as a bold warrior grew further as he led forces to suppress raiding parties and mediate disputes among Northern houses. Yet it was his actions off the battlefield that would spark controversy throughout the realm. Brandon’s marriage to Princess Baela Targaryen, a spirited and independent daughter of House Targaryen, sent shockwaves through the courts of King’s Landing and the Reach.

Unaware of the careful negotiations that had already arranged a match between Baela and the heir to House Redwyne, Brandon had no intention of offending anyone. To him, Baela was a kindred spirit—fiery, fearless, and utterly captivating. His courtship of her was direct, earnest, and utterly unrefined by Southern standards. He pursued her as he would face an enemy charge: with single-minded determination, blind to the political consequences his actions might carry.

Though Brandon’s marriage strengthened ties between Winterfell and the Iron Throne, it left House Redwyne the object of scandal. To the Redwynes, Brandon’s actions may have seemed a calculated insult, but those who knew him well saw only a young man driven by his heart rather than his head. Brandon never sought to antagonize anyone; he simply could not imagine allowing politics to stand in the way of something as important as the woman he loved.

Despite the fallout, Brandon’s charisma and valor have endeared him to the North. Yet his father, Torrhen, remains deeply concerned. While he respects his son’s loyalty and bravery, he fears Brandon’s lack of political acumen could lead to disaster if not tempered by wisdom. Torrhen has spent years trying to teach Brandon the intricacies of leadership, but the young heir chafes under the weight of lessons that seem so distant from the life he knows.

Now, with Baela by his side and the responsibilities of heir apparent looming, Brandon must grapple with the realities of his position. Though his instincts are those of a warrior, he begins to understand that leading the North demands more than strength alone. Oblivious to the grudges harbored in the Reach and the murmurings of southern courts, Brandon’s focus remains fixed on what lies before him: the North, his people, and the legacy he will one day inherit. Though he is young and untested, Brandon Stark marches forward, guided by the fire of a wolf who believes that honor and courage are enough to carve his name into history.

227: When Sarella was old enough, her mother started letting her explore Dorne a bit more on her own. The teen could always be found around the shipyard or fighting other children around her age. Bothering the sailors and merchants to teach her anything they knew. The one ship and crew members she always gravitated towards was known as "Raiders of the damned" her tenacity was admired, no matter how often she got told to bugger off, she came back. The captain and crew took a liking to her charming personality and cunning. Soon they took her under her wing when they had pulled into port.

228: Sarella's mother dies, leaving her with no home or family, she officially joins the "Raiders of the Damned." Continuing to learn all she can, Sarella quickly discovers her knack for tactical fighting and navigating, it came incredibly easy for her. Any of her crewmates who challenged or questioned her, she'd be quick to answer with a fight, her quick temper and faster mouth forever getting her in trouble.

232: Raiders of the Damned clash with another Pirate Crew known as "The Painted Ones" over territory and loot. the clashes between the two went on for years, each side losing some members. One of the more notable fights was between the two fleets when a third joined in, Brindleman's crew. That was one of the hardest fights Sarella can remember, it was also the first she had willingly helped one of the Painted One's crew members. Recognizing Wick Greysteel being knocked off his feet, Sarella didn't hesitate to step in and help, after slaying the other pirate and getting him on his feet, she would be shocked by his reply "Thanks, now fuck off." leaving a lasting impression on her.

247: The Stepstones War would begin, Sarella would be on the front lines causing chaos and mayhem on all sides, taking what loot she could and avoiding much trouble, again she crossed paths with Wick, seeing his ship blown to bits and the man floating, she once again reached out and helped stubbornly, and once again getting told "thanks, now fuck off" her temper roared.

248: By the end of the war, Sarella made her way to Myr, making what money she could and saving up for more ships again. While recruiting and gambling, she had happened to enter a tavern, taking a seat at the bar, at the other end, none other than Wick was sitting, a beer in his hands. Her temper flaring, she strode over and took up conversation, eventually offering a business proposition, adding him to her "Broken Fleet".

250: Having focused on less “Pirate” like activities to get by the Broken Fleet has amassed a respectable number of members. Having heard of the activities in King’s Landing the fleet has decided to stop to enjoy them.

Biography

Roland was born at Ten Towers in the year 188 as the older of what would become two sons. His early years were mostly uneventful, mostly due to his brother oftentimes making himself the centre of attention – rarely for good reasons. As a matter of fact, he was nicknamed “The Thinker” for a while, due to his tendency to do something unheard of in the Iron Islands, but that did not stop him from partaking in the usual raiding and reaving activities his people were famed and feared for. At the age of 17 he would join first sails to Essos, where the Harlaw fleets would feast on some weaker holdings around the western shores of the continent.

Roland would prove himself to be quite skilled in the ways of naval combat, when he took charge during an ambush set by the forces of Lys and let his meagre fleet to victory by out navigating the Lysene in a field of rocky shallows. He would be overshadowed by his younger brother however, who returned home not just alive, but with piles of looted riches. This would spell most of the future years between the two, where Roland would always end up with the short end of the stick, with Triston finding riches and undefended convoys, while Roland would always find himself being sent into various ambushes and towards lands which had already been visited by other ironborn kin.

This had two effects; for one, Roland gained a lot of respect by his own crew for his skills, but at the same time, his brother would become far more popular in the Isles and on Harlaw itself. As a result of the latter, Roland found himself with a strong distaste for further reaving, he treated it as just something he needed to get over with every now and then.

During that time Roland would marry a woman from house Drumm, owing to the centuries old tight relations between their houses, and he would over the years have four children.

Some years later, Roland’s bad luck would play again when his father passed due to old age while he himself was away from home. His brother Triston remained at Harlaw and, pushed by his supporters, declared himself the lord of Ten Towers. When Roland returned to the isle, it is said that he just stood in the castle courtyard, listened to the news, then a few moments later simply sighed and marched to his chambers.

The very next year everything went to shit. Roland’s brother Triston along with Lord Drumm began to raid the Westerlands and one thing led to the other, eventually Triston’s luck came to an end when he ended up being executed. However, not even that he could do without somehow fucking over Roland, when even Roland, despite having stayed on the isle, was ordered to hand over a ward to the Greyjoys. The then 4-year-old Leah was chosen who, along with her mother, was moved to Pyke. And as if that wasn’t enough, a faction remained on the isle fiercely loyal to Triston, and to prevent further violence, Roland was forced to name Triston’s oldest son as his heir.

The next few years Roland remained bitter and angry, the anger of someone constantly being side-lined and fucked over for decades. However, he focused his anger on fixing the fuck-ups his brother had caused, all while still raising his brother’s son while the daughter had been sent to the Banefort as a ward.

In 247 finally, his daughter was returned from Pyke when the Lord Greyjoy appeared trying to make amends, also bringing a ship as a gift. Roland did well to hide his fury with the Greyjoy, a fury even further incensed when he heard of the plans to bring the Iron Islands closer to the seven kingdoms. On the day the Greyjoy left, Roland took the ship he had been gifted, and intentionally ran it into rocks, sinking it. He would claim it to be an accident, and that the ship had been poorly rigged. He would also blame the incident on himself and his crew having been confined to the island for too long.

The following year, when the war with the various free cities began, Roland joined in on the opportunity solely because of his bitterness. He intentionally picked the hardest battles for himself and his fleet and fought tooth and nail through them to show to all the Ironborn that he was, in his eyes, more competent than anyone else in the isles.

Biography

“Where are we going, nan?”

Cregan Stark faced a choice upon hearing of the Lords’ Graves: to wage war against kin or to stay put and be called a craven. In the end, he did not raise arms against Sansa Stark, for she was family. Doubly, he did not accept her as his liege, for her crime of kinslaying and for her birth as a woman. Three thousand men, holding death most dear, descended south past Winterfell to set septs aflame and wreak sword-toil against the Faith Militant. In the realm of summer, Cregan fashioned himself the Lord of Winterfell. After the Faith’s defeat, he intended to continue his campaign (against the south whole, by his reckoning) before being dragged down from that ledge with choice lands along the Red Fork, a title, and a bride. He grudgingly accepted, and rewarded his lieutenants from the clans with fiefs expropriated from petty landed knights.

Cregan swore to uphold northern traditions so long as his line persisted. His son was sent to the Northern Mountains to foster, and that son’s son, Morgan, grew up there as well. But winters come and go; years passed and the ice melted, mixed with the dirt, and made way for a grave of the customs the first men once held dear. Even the name of their seat was false, for the field where Tristifer IV Mudd first fell was not even graced by his tomb. The litter grew complacent. Their new patriarch shunned the shade of weirwood trees.

That did not sit well with Barbrey Norrey. Such southron fineries did her son Morgan adopt, seeing fit to dub once-Wulls as knights and present cheeses and wines with the traditional bread and salt. Upon witnessing her grandson Edric attending a septon’s sermon, she broke. She took the boy and his younger brother Asher on a journey to the northern mountains.

“To your kin—the real sort. You’ve been swaddled in silks for too long,” she told her grandson, placing his babe of a brother in his hands. “You must survive the winter, if you’re to lead the pack.”

Morgan was beside himself, but his ravens found no purchase in the frozen peaks, and his messengers were turned away. Edric and Asher were the clans’ children now.

The six year old was met with a land unlike his home. Incursions by wildlings were common, blood feuds between the clans ran rampant. In time, the Norreys’ disputes became his own, for Winterfell’s eye does not turn easily toward the northern mountains, and their petty disputes are expected to be solved amongst themselves.

Where his adopted brothers rushed headfirst into battle in shows of strength, Edric learned to hide in trees, get the lay of the land, and bleed Clan Norrey’s enemies when they reared their heads. He became the first scout the clan called for when wildlings intruded into Norrey domains. Skinchangers, commonly shunned and cast out, were recruited by Edric to observe from the sky and the underbrush. Before would-be raiders even made to march, Edric made sure to harry them. Mimicked howls in the night to place that seedling of terror in their hearts, bridges broken to seal off their escape, and once a Norrey warband came over the hill, their foemen were already defeated in spirit.

At two-and-twenty, Edric Stark answered his father’s call and returned to Mudgrave a northman true. Much to his grandmother’s chagrin, however, the northern dirt was quick to wash away. For in times of peace, the name ‘Stark’ was often all that was needed to add some added weight to what delegations the clans sent, and he picked up on the ways of the Rivermen just as he did the talk of Barrowmen and the stories of the Wolfswood. Barbrey had the still-wild Asher to be proud of, at least.

The Riverlands were not as Edric remembered them. Quarrels were reserved to jealous looks and bandied words, Ironborn raids and clashes between Bracken and Blackwood but a distant memory. The scouts he once commanded found themselves at ill ease. In contrast, his father found the life of a southron laggard far too comfortable.

But the Trident was a land of change, malleable in a way that the northern mountains weren’t. The Inn of the Kneeling Man, just across from his family’s demesne, seemed to inch closer every year as the Red Fork meandered. Words in the wind were as weighty as an axe to a man’s head. In lieu of arboreal warring, Edric gave his scouts the garb of servants and guards, turning them into spies in all but name. He searched, wandered, and waited for an opportunity for advancement.

And that came in the form of the slavers. Edric hastily assembled a small force and accompanied the Mootons to the Stepstones. He did not command from the front, instead leading his soldiers to burn supply lines and twisting the knife by forcing gates open in the dead of night. His victories earned him renown, buttressed by a wartime friendship with King Daeron. When the war concluded, he was honored with a seat on the Small Council. An unexpected pick, but not uncouth enough to make a fuss about. He finds himself across the table from his ostensible kinsman, blood of the kinslayer, inheritor of the line who cannot keep the North in line. Perhaps it’s time for a change.

Just out of reach is more—of everything. The tomb of Tristifer, the Inn of the Kneeling Man, and more bounties in power than those mere baubles. The North’s honor is bitter on tongue and mind, and so deeply is it frozen into Edric’s heart that no southron trappings can overcome it. There are oaths to uphold, to the late Cregan and to the King, but what use is a vow upheld if the true heirs of Winterfell remain relegated to petty lordship? No, Edric would have the lot of a direwolf rather than that of a riverlord, however heady the cost may be.

• 242 AC: Edric returns to Mudgrave, promising Asher to come back for him. He does not. Asher remains in the Northern Mountains.
• 245 AC: In his deathbed, Morgan Stark tells his children to place his corpse on a boat and deliver it across the Red Fork, in emulation of the Tullys. Edric has him interred in the crypts instead.

• Raya Stark (Trader), 21: Edric's sister. Raya is most concerned with the financial burdens of duty, and her glib tongue marks her as somewhat of an ambassador of the Starks in the far reaches of the Riverlands.
• Benjicot Harclay (Master-at-Arms), 23: Asher's friend. Benjicot likes axes.
• Melissa Stark (Hunter), 20: Edric's sister. Recently a lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Melissa is drawn to the open godswood more than the confines of court whispers.

226 A.C.

Perceon Tyrell is born.

234 A.C.

Percy goes to squire.

244 A.C.

Percy is knighted upon his eighteenth nameday.

That same year, Percy travels to the Free Cities.

Percy spends three moons in Braavos, laughing at crude plays and betting on the Water Dancers. In Braavos, Percy meets Phario, though it is a brief meeting.

In Pentos, Percy stayed at the manse of "the Pentoshi king of wine!", but the so-called king spent a moon lecturing Percy on the virtues of R'hllor. After nigh on being exposed for an affair with his host's wife, Percy departed, with little thought for what might become of the woman. By later rumour, Percy would begin to wonder if he fathered a son.

When in Myr, Percy took up with a painter, she herself a highborn lady. After two moons in Myr, Percy travelled to Tyrosh, and then Lys, and Volantis.

245 A.C.

Halfway through the year, Percy returned to Westeros, to the Reach and Highgarden. Suffering an argument with his father and brothers, Percy spent a third of a year in Dorne. After which, Percy returned to the Reach, and chose Oldtown as his latest attraction.

246 A.C.

By the turn of the year, Percy had been in Oldtown a touch north of a moon. Across that year, Percy would befriend Harmen Hightower, Bors Bulwer, and Alastor Costayne. The four would become close friends, while others revelled in there being a Tyrell-amidst-the-Hightowers. Multiple riders from Highgarden came with bound parchment and countless pleas, but Percy refused them all.

247 A.C.

Percy's brothers are slain by the Hightower menace at the Tourney at Goldengrove. Ser Amaury Tyrell is cut down by the dishonourable cheat of a jouster, Ser Henly Mullendore. In rising to defend his brother's name and honour, Ser Lorent Tyrell is slain in single combat by Ser Titus Hightower.

(Read this for more information.)

Percy becomes the heir to Highgarden.

248 A.C.

Percy's father, aged and weakened evermore from the loss of his two eldest sons, cannot rise to meet the challenges of the Free Cities and the Stepstones. In place of Lord Uthor, Percy, nominally at first, commands the Reachmen in the Stepstones.

249 A.C.

Early in the year, Percy visits King's Landing, still in denial upon his impending inheritance. While there, the young heir to Highgarden begins a flirtation with Alyce Tully. The affair lasts nigh on three moons before the pair are caught by Ser Axel Tully, and a fight ensues. Unfortunately for Percy, Ser Axel is the victor. These events remain a secret.

When that same year the Princess Baela Targaryen proves false, snubbing the House of Redwyne, Percy issues a declaration denouncing her as a "liar", an "oathbreaker", and a "princess without honour".

Late in the year, Lord Uthor Tyrell, Percy's father, dies, having never fully recovered from the deaths of his two eldest sons. Percy becomes the Lord Paramount of the Mander.

250 A.C.

Percy travels to King's Landing, for the celebrations of the 250th year since Tyrell ascension.

Jace is sent to squire.

243 A.C.

Having displayed almost no apptitude whatsoever for martial pursuits, Jace returns to Highgarden, where his lord father finally permits him his pursuits of the mind, absent the martial distractions.

245 A.C.

During his eighteenth year, Jace takes up the vows and robes of a septon. Admittedly, he is oft seen donning attire more befitting a lord with a penchant for the Faith, than a simple septon.

247 A.C.

Jace attends the Tourney of Goldengrove, and witnesses the deaths of his two eldest brothers.

248 A.C.

With his lord father weakened and a nigh complete shut-in, and Percy away in the Stepstones, Jace rules the day-to-day business of the Reach.

250 A.C.

Now a close confidant and advisor of his lordly brother, Jace travels to King's Landing, where he and his brother intend to commence their plans.

Biography

Jeremy was born to the small House Rogers on Cape Wrath. The house was a small one, in the shadow of House Wylde which had recently suffered the ire of the crown with their feud with House Mertyns.

He was barely a year old when the corsairs would raid his family’s lands and keeps. His two uncles, Jerome and Clive, would die defending Amberly from the raiders, and his grandfather would follow later that year in the assault on Ghaston Grey.

However, this tragedy would turn into a boon for the house. His father, now lord of Amberly, would be a founding member of the Rainwood Rangers. This would lead to many ties with fellow houses of Cape Wrath. Although the group would eventually disband as the years went by and the gold was seen to be better put to developing their lands, his father’s friendship with Lord Connington would lead to the young Jeremy sent to Griffin's Roost as a page.

Jeremy would train under Lord Connington for several years. A somewhat overconfident young lad, his aggressiveness would lead to many victories over the knights in service to House Connington in training bouts. Eventually his time at Griffin's Roost came to an end as he was knighted near his 17th nameday, leaving to return to his home.

He would serve under his father as knight for many years, even taking a young son of one of the rangers as a squire. His father had played his hand well the last 20 years, turning the relief he received into developing the small house, and took advantage of the disbanding of the rangers to swell the ranks of their house.

It was during the war in Essos that Jeremy would make a name for himself. Leading the forces from Amberly, his father would give him Kindness, the Valyrian steel weapon of their house. He would lead his families’ forces with distinction, earning much fame as he battled slavers.

It was during this conflict that he would come into the service of Prince Aelyx Targaryen. Serving with his outrider, the two would strike a bond that would last beyond the war. Upon his return, he would enter the service of the Prince of Summerhall as a retainer. He would spend many years with the Prince, enjoying the luxury of the Targaryen house.
