## History

398 AC Born 25th Day of the Twelfth Moon the youngest of three children to Lord Bertrand of Bitterbridge Defender of the Fords and the Lady Talla Caswell. The only daughter and a bit of a surprise as they were already in their middling years when she is born. It is this fact that allows the rumor to take root that Amelira is really the daughter of Lord Caswell’s mistress, Amarei.

403 AC No one quite knows why, but shortly before her 5th birthday Lord Caswell forbids his wife being allowed alone with their daughter, thus strengthening the rumors about her true parentage. Her instructions as one of the children begin in earnest after her birthday to include household management not just needlepoint. They say this is the decline of the Lady Talla’s reign in the house.

405 AC Amelira’s closest sibling is Theo, he’s fifteen years older than his sister and often reminds her of this, but he’s also the one that for her birthday on this year hands her a bow and arrow. She badgers him into her first lesson that day.

411 AC The Battle of Ghoyan Drohe, a day the family will forever mourn. Her eldest brother, Thaddeus, is one of the many from the Reach that fall along the Velvet Hills. He leaves behind a wife, but no children that have lived past birth. Theo and Amelira the surviving heirs to Bitterbridge watch as their mother slowly spirals after his death.

412 AC They say it is grief that takes its toll on the Lady Talla Caswell. Her eldest, and by all accounts the most favorite of the three, was the child she had never wanted and loved the most for he gave her family when she had none near. Their bond was a strong one and he always sought his mother’s approval. Speculation swirls anew on the parentage of Amelira. Neither Theo or Amelira spend time mourning their eldest sibling though there was a mere 18 months between the brothers.

415 AC The youngest child of Lord Caswell has yet to be married off and her brother seems no more inclined to fulfill that part of his own duty. Since the death of their eldest sibling and their mother there is more of a lightness in the household. Her 17th birthday is the largest celebration the keep has seen since the marriage of Lord and Lady Caswell. Theo takes a lot in to planning the celebration and gifts his sister a horse and a new bow.

418 AC With recent events in the kingdom Amelira has come to King's Landing to find out what has transpired.
