## **History**

### **Background History**

He was the second son of Robert Tully the Lord of Riverrun and Perra Cassel. His mother died when he was young. He had an older Brother Eddard Tully who 1 year back died in shipwreck near the Iron Islands. He never had an other siblings due to his mothers death and his father was to grief stricken to marry again.

He has been close to his brother for years till he was the lord in training and had been distant from his dad since the age of 13 when he was caught in bed with the Kennel Masters Daughter causing Jorah to fight the Kennel master.

He had always been close to Ser Jon Blackwood, a young knight and Felton Hightower, a boy his father was fostering. A week after his Brothers 16th name day Jorah and his friends left to travel to Essos.

While in Essos the three friends were sellswords, shiphands and many other jobs making a name for themselves. He met many girls from Westeros meaning he has made the eight plus more from other lands in Essos and places he had never heard of before. In Essos he gained a nick-name of The Two Sworded Warrior who used a Bravoosi sword and a short sword, tales were told about him all over the lands.

Jorah spent some time in other lands outside of Essos during those eight years, he went to the Port of Ibben, The Summer Isles, taking a ship beyond the wall and even going back to all the Westeros Kingdoms but never Riverrun. But these were always for a short time and most of his eight years were in Essos.

After 7 Years he received a letter that his brother had died but didn't return home until a year later until he found out his father was dying and he remembered his house's words; Family, Duty, Honor.

### **Recent History**

#### **450 AC - Returning to Riverrun**

After returning back to Riverrun Jorah's father died leaving his titles that were his birth right. Soon after this Jorah made the appointments for the key positions of his house and found out the issues his land was in. Many of the Houses in the Riverlands were not fond of him due to being away for 8 years and due to the fact his father had not rules due to illness leading to problems in the realm. A rebellion could occur as some house have been acting aggressive.

He had the issue of not enough men being in his garrisons but a plan was made to train small folk around his lands and to bring in allies from his days in Essos.

An assassin was sent to take Jorah's life, it was unknown who wanted to kill him as the assassin fell from the window killing him but not before injuring Jorah by cutting his left leg and right shoulder. A while later the maester came to the Lord with a scrap of paper with a shield that had the Tully Fish with a Spear and a Sword coming though said fish and three symbols around the fish, a waterfall, a grave and a solder on a horse. This was said to be The True Rivermen. They hated him and his Father, they wanted Eddard Tully to be Lord but when he died and Jorah came back to be Lord they took drastic action. It is unknown who is part of this group.

#### **450 AC - Rebuilding and The Crimson Night**

Jorah discovered he had twin Bastards from his lover Kyra Pyke once he found out Kyra disappeared and had not been heard from since, the bastards arriving brought the issue of legitimate heirs and a marriage to keep the Tully blood line running. Jorah is set to marry Victaria Mallister, a beautiful women from House Mallister of Seagard, he has fallen madly in love with her as she has with him.

Jorah has started to rebuild his garrisons with a mixture of trained small folk and from the allies he made abroad in Essos and other lands; his army is starting to come together which he believes will save his House and Seat from a possible rebellion.

While researching and planning how to deal with his problems before his wedding, Victaria came to him to confess that she was with his child. But the happiness he felt would not last, on a fateful night his bastards Tarik and Aran Rivers , his Steward Kyrsty Storm and his Betrothed Victaria Mallister were killed by The True Rivermen and Kyra Pyke who is a member of said group.

#### **450 AC - Exploits in Kings Landing**

Jorah holds a heavy burden now and he travelled to Kings Landing to make alliances and save his house. While in Kings Landing, he talked to the Grand Maester who worked on his wounds from the assassination and was asked why he was here, Bracken also asked this but also became rather angry at Jorah's drunkenness and his quirks.

While in Kings Landing he received a letter from Edwyn Arryn who sent a proposal that Jorah marry his sister of 18 Anya Arryn, Jorah accepted sending a letter back to the Lord of the Vale. Jorah is now in an alliance withe the Arryns, Lannisters and Tyrells due to this marriage.

Later on Jorah goes to The Drunken Stag, he sings a few songs on his lute and gets very drunk. During this time Jorah talks to other patrons and fights with a few knights causing the City Watch to appear. Jorah fled with others while singing songs.

He dreams the next night of four heads floating down a crimson river which slowly become less recognisable, he also sees a scarred trout swimming and a young blue falcon pick on the trout and bring him towards the mountains with rivers. He wakes up after the dream with a hangover and has bath drawn by his servants.

Soon after this around twenty-seven men from Riverrun including Illyrio Whitebeard and Gendry Locke came to guard the Lord after Ser Olly sent them there. After this Jorah sends a letter back to Riverrun about the guards and about improvements to Riverrun itself; he sends instructions and requests on what he wants done.

Jorah later received reports from Riverrun stating the decline of the True Rivermen the smallfolk were starting to like their new lord and sites of their activity were being seized. The men who were mainly noble lords and knights were imprisoned and some sent to the Wall; all of them forfeit their titles to their heir. Due to Jorah still being concerned with The True Rivermen and Krya, he created a special force called The Scarred Brotherhood.

Jorah entered into the Tourney for the Kings Wedding, beating Ragnar, Cedrick Arryn of The Kingsguard, Matthos Blackwood the King's Hand and his knight Jon Blackwood to win the whole Tourney. He Jested withe crowd afterwards and gave the Crown for the Queen of Love and Beauty to his betrothed Anya Arryn who was not in the city causing a few odd looks. After the tourney he saw Kyra Pyke again on which he attacked before she vanished; due to this Jorah went on a Two Month Long Quest after her and the True Rivermen; seeming to vanish.
