Carden Deddings

## Lord Commander Carden Deddings

Carden Deddings is the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and presides of Castle Black. He is the 996th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

## Appearance

Carden is of average height, and has a rather lean build. He is often found sporting mail under a thick cloak of black fur. He has long brown hair and a rather disheveled beard.

## Biography

### Early Life

Carden Deddings was born in 245 AC to Kennat Deddings and his wife. Kennat was the brother of the current Lord of House Deddings, making Carden a mere scion and nowhere near having a major role in the family affairs.

However, it seemed that his father and Lord-uncle had plans for him after all. Soon after breaching his 13th name day, Carden became the squire to a Ser Cade, a well-known Knight.

### Days as a Squire

Carden spent five years alongside Ser Cade. During his time with him, he only acquired the knowledge of Archery. Ser Cade was seen as a rather respectable Knight to most, but to Carden, who saw him at his worst, knew better. Ser Cade was prone to drinking, fits of rage, and not afraid to enact violence upon young Carden. When Carden would make a mistake, he would receive a beating. When he did not, he would likely receive a beating anyways that night. This caused Carden to resent and fear Cade, and his father for handing him to this monster.

This went on for 5 years until one night, Ser Cade gave Carden a brutal beating, only stopping so he he wouldn't kill him. Young Carden saw fit to end Ser Cade's punishments on him along with his life. Unfortunately, his assassination attempt failed and he fled. As he ran, he could hear Ser Cade's threats saying "If I ever catch you again, I will kill you".

Carden never saw him again.
Dragonstone (island)

**Dragonstone** is a volcanic island in the Narrow Sea that guards the entrance to Blackwater Bay and the sea approaches to King's Landing, off the east coast of Westeros. It is the location of the eponymous castle of Dragonstone, the ancestral seat of House Targaryen, the seat of King Daemon III Blackfyre.

## Geography

Dragonstone island produces no significant crops (such as wheat or barley), nor can it sustain livestock farming (such as cattle and pigs). The surrounding waters of Blackwater Bay are plentiful enough with fish - the main food source that can be locally obtained by the island's inhabitants.

While Dragonstone previously had no particular value, its cache of dragonglass and its command of the sea lanes passing into or out of Blackwater Bay, to and from King's Landing, give it an ideal strategic value. The Royal Fleet is stationed at Dragonstone island, from which it can effectively defend (or in time of rebellion, blockade) any approaches to the capital city.

## History

### Background

During the Dawn Age, the island was inhabited by the Children of the Forest. The dragonglass caves of Dragonstone were used for shelter by the Children when the White Walkers turned on them.

Just before the Doom of Valyria, House Targaryen settled on the island - thus becoming the only family of Dragonlords to survive the fall of the Valyrian Freehold, along with the last surviving dragons in the world. The Targaryens spent the next hundred years slowly building up their strength on Dragonstone, while east of the Narrow Sea, the remnants of the Freehold tore themselves apart in the Century of Blood, eventually coalescing into the Free Cities.

One hundred years after the Targaryen family settled on Dragonstone, Aegon I Targaryen and his two sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys set out to conquer and unite the Seven Kingdoms on the mainland of Westeros, in the War of Conquest. This they achieved using their three dragons, Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes.

Aegon I declared that a new capital city would be built at the place where his army first made its landing on the eastern coast, at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush: King's Landing. The seat of House Targaryen moved there, but Dragonstone always remained their ancestral territory. Soon, the title of "Prince of Dragonstone" was developed for the heir-designate to the throne. Frequently, the heir to the throne would rule Dragonstone directly for years to prepare for ascending the Iron Throne one day.
Donnel of Duskendale

**Donnel of Duskendale**was a Crownlander hedge knight that served in the Kingsguard of Daeron II Targaryen, and then Daemon I Blackfyre until his death in 197 AC.

He replaced Ser Franklyn Waxley, and was replaced by Ser Lorent Merryweather.

Following the death of King Daeron II. The three Kingsguard present were offered a simple deal by Aegor Bittersteel, live for Daemon or die for Daeron's ghost. Donnel chose the former, and fought with Daemon in the Quelling of the Kraken - a conflict which claimed his life.
Haegon I Blackfyre

### Titles

King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

## Family Information

### Father

Daemon I Blackfyre

## History

Thirdson son of Daemon I, Haegon ascended after his brother's death, and served as king during the Bloodraven Rebellion. An incredibly brilliant commander and dearly beloved by his men, he was thought to be the spitting image of his grandfather and a sign that gods sometimes did truly walk among men. He was also famed for creating the house words for House Blackfyre when he was reported to have said during negotiations

> “You will find no better friend, and no fiercer foe.”
>
>

## Death

Haegon was killed on accident by his own men when riding through thick fog during the Bloodraven Rebellion.
Hoster Blackwood

**Hoster Blackwood** is the third-born son of Hosteen Blackwood and a knight in all but title.

## History

Hoster got his first taste of combat in Durran's Defiance at the Battle of Fairmarket where he was tasked with staying in the city with a few other brave Lords and Knights to draw in Lord Piper and ignite the pitch that lined the city moats.

After the battle, he was sent back to Raventree Hall to watch over the defenses in case the keep was put to siege. Though his father was more than capable, his elder brother Yoren knew the coming battle against the Ironborn would be a bloody one and did not want Hoster in the thick of it.

After the Ironborn were defeated, Hoster rejoined his brothers at the siege of Harrenhal. As he watched the duel between Maelys and Aemond, he was heard muttering "No fiercer foe, that much is true..."

In the time since the Duel of the Dragons, Hoster has been leading many scouting parties to the Teats at the behest of his father to spot the right time to take their lands back from House Bracken.
Aegor Bittersteel

Ser **Aegor** **Bittersteel**, was one of the Great Bastards and a son of King Aegon IV Targaryen by his fifth mistress, Lady Barba Bracken.Aegor was later the founder of House Bittersteel.

Great Moraq

Great Moraq is an island that is used to define the join between the western Summer Sea and the eastern Jade Sea. It is the largest island in the Known World.

## Geography

West of Great Moraq are Vahar and Lesser Moraq, while to the south is the Isle of Elephants, as well as several smaller islands. East of the great island is the Isle of Whips and, in the Jade Gates to the north, is Qal. Across the Jade Gates is Qarth in southern Essos.

The northern half of Great Moraq is a mixture of plains, hills, and small forests, while the southern half of the island is densely forested. The city of Faros is situated at the mouth of a river on the northern stretch of its western coast. At the southern point of Great Moraq is the city of Port Moraq on the Cinnamon Straits.

Elephants and camels were used as one of the transportations of the island.

## Cities

There are two major cities upon the island of Great Moraq, as well as innumerable minor fishing towns and villages.

* Faros - Famous throughout the Known World for the worship of a deity called the Stone Cow by visitors to the isle, the people of Faros centre much of their lives around servitude to the towering statue found at the centre of the town. Offerings of fish, spices and gold are given each day at sunrise, and again at sunset, the services led by priests clad in tunics and cloaks of slate-grey fabric. As long as respect is upheld, any and all are welcome to attend the offering ceremonies, or place items of their own before the statue.
* Port Moraq - A popular stopping point for merchants returning from the isles and nations of the Jade Sea, their ships heavy with spices, exotic wood and gemstones, the city of Port Moraq is found on the southern side of the isle. The first colonisers of the area cleared away the thick forest to the north, and continue to do to this day as expansion north continues. Most of the city, subsequently, is constructed of timber rather than stone, from the wharves and jetties to the walls that surround its territory.

## History

Great Moraq was once conquered by Jar Joq, one of the sea-green god-emperors of Yi Ti.

Because of the prevailing winds, the eastern shore of Great Moraq is lightly settled and rarely visited. The western shore is more populous and is connected with the Jade Sea trade routes.

## Recent History

The power of the city of Qarth has grown over the past century, with the Pureborn wishing to further assert their greatness compared to the the developing powers in the west, in particular the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and the Volantenes' expansion of territory towards the Dothraki Sea and Valyria. The Qartheen now control Great Moraq and many of the surrounding isles, putting them in direct conflict with their neighbours, Yi Ti. As a result, Qartheen galleys now patrol both the Jade Gates to the north via the port-city of Qal, and the Cinnamon Straits between Great Moraq and Sothoryos, meaning all trade seeking the Far East is at risk of being stopped by the naval power of the Pureborn.

Daeron Rivers

Daeron Rivers is the bastard son of Lord Rhaegar Bittersteel and Lady Emphryia Butterwell, and a travelling bard.

## Summary

Daeron was born to Lady Emphryia Butterwell, the young daughter of the current Lord Butterwell's brother. The Lord Butterwell was slighted when Lord Baelor Bittersteel refused his requests for Emphryia and Rhaegar to be wedded - Baelor sought a more valuable bride than her.

Daeron has never been one for the battlefield, much to the disappointment of his father, but has proven himself as a man of knowledge and the arts.

## Biography

Aeron was born the second son and fifth child of Lord Cragon the Harlaw, along with his (slightly) younger twin sister Arwyn. He was raised to command troops from the moment he could speak, and learned tactics the second he had begun to show promise in that. He also learned the sword and axe, though he was not exceptionally talented in the physical side of war.

When Aeron reached the age of 15, the Mad King Maelys came to Rodrik Greyjoy offering the return of the Old Way in exchange for the Ironborn's help in his wars. Rodrik, Cragorn, and the Lord Goodbrother accepted this offer, and began the war. Aeron wanted to fight in the war, and though his father permitted him to do so. Jorren Tarly offered to take him as a squire, which Cragorn accepted. Aeron fights with the Reach as opposed to the Ironborn, saving him from the horrors of Hag's Mire.

After his father's death and the taking of Nightfall, Aeron fell into a bout of depression and anger. He's pity-knighted by a drunk hedge knight, the name of which he did not bother to ask. He returns to the Isles with the Harlaw Fleet as the new lord. He swears to one day take back Nightfall from Aemond Blackfyre, and to restore the glory of the Ironborn. He spends the following years secluded in the Ten Towers, rarely leaving. Recently, he and his fleet set out with his name-brother, Aeron Greyjoy, to take the Stepstones.

Aemon Bittersteel

## Maester Aemon

Aemon Bittersteel is the Maester of Castle Black and the oldest living male of the Bittersteel line.

## History

Aemon was born the second son of Lord Aegor Bittersteel, the founder of the house. Aemon grew to be strong in the arm, sharp of wit, and by all means a handsome man.

Having been a young man during the War of the Wicked, Aemon was second to his brother Aegon as acting lord of the ancient fortress of Harrenhal. It was said it was his little brother Baelor who discovered their father's mangled corpse at the conclusion of the war, Aegor having thrown himself from the tallest tower. From that moment on, it was the two sons against the world, after Aegon having hung himself months prior.

Aemon, the new lord, soon grew uncomfortable with his responsibilities. Perhaps he felt pressured by having to live up to their father's shadow, or perhaps he realised that Baelor was growing ever more competent behind him. Regardless, Aemon Bittersteel's behaviour grew erratic, and at the age of twenty he rode north to join the Night's Watch.

## A Ranger of the Night's Watch

Aemon found his place at the Wall, proving himself a leal man of the Night's Watch. Aemon was quick to move through the ranks, earning respect as a ranger of prowess. Aemon had his father's strength and cunning, and became fast friends with Lord-Commander Lothar Bracken, his distant cousin.

Lothar set Aemon a task; infiltrate the Ravenwatch, send regular reports back to Castle Black, don't get into trouble Aemon successfully defected, but was soon faced with a problem; Harlon Stark and his ranging party were being hunted by the Ravenwatch. Aemon disobeyed his orders and was instrumental in getting the Lord of Winterfell home.

## A Maester of the Citadel

In the year 251AC, under the command of Lord-Commander Brandon Locke, Aemon was directed to travel to the Citadel and train as a Maester. The Maester of Castle Black at the time was growing ill and infirm, and so Aemon travelled south to take up the chain. After six long years of training, Aemon was awarded his chain, with several links of the following:

* Black Iron (Ravenry)
* Silver (Medicine)
* Iron (Warcraft)
* Valyrian Steel (Magic & the Occult)
* Bronze (Astronomy)
Goldentail Rattlesnake

The goldentail rattlesnake is a species of highly poisonous sea snake uniquely indigenous to the cluster of islands known as Bastard's Cradle near The Arbor. Skin color varies from a very dark blue to night black. Juvenile goldentail rattlesnakes tend to be lighter in color than adults and darken with age.

Goldentail rattlesnakes receive their name from the yellow or golden-colored fin-shaped rattle located at the end of their tails, which makes a loud rattling noise when vibrated that deters predators upon land or serves as a warning to passers-by. In a threat display, the goldentail rattlesnake usually opens its inky black mouth, spreads its narrow neck-flap and steadily rattles it's tail as it hisses.

## Venom

Experiments have been conducted by the maesters of the Citadel upon the lethality of the snake's venom. In several tests, the venom was observed to be able to kill a mouse in as little as 4.5 minutes.

The bite of a goldentail rattlesnake can potentially cause collapse in humans within 45 minutes, or less. Without effective antivenom therapy, death typically occurs within half a day.

A bite from a goldentail rattlesnake causes initial symptoms that may commonly include headache and a metallic taste in the mouth. Other symptoms may include a golden or jaundiced coloring of the whites of the eyes, another tribute to the snake's name. Without appropriate treatment, symptoms typically progress to more severe reactions leading to death by asphyxiation, cardiovascular collapse, or respiratory failure.
Dragonstone

**Dragonstone**is the name of the island located at the entrance to Blackwater Bay and the castle thereon, which was shaped from stone to look like dragons. Dragonstone was the original seat of House Targaryen in Westeros, which had been colonized and fortified as the westernmost outpost of the Valyrian Freehold. Since the aftermath of the Blackfyre Rebellion, Dragonstone has typically been held by the heir of House Blackfyre, being held by Aenys Blackfyre and Aemond Blackfyre during the reign of Maelys I Blackfyre, in the place of Prince Daemon Blackfyre, in his minority, and by Aemond Blackfyre during the early reign of Daemon III Blackfyre, as heir to the Iron Throne.

## Recent Events

Aemond Blackfyre was recently disinherited from the throne by his cousin, and the castle has reverted to the control of the King.
House Dayne

Lords of Starfall

**House Dayne of Starfall** is a noble house from Starfall in Dorne. They are among the principal houses sworn to House Martell. The Sword of the Morning is a title given to a Dayne knight who is considered worthy of wielding the greatsword Dawn, a blade said to be created from the heart of falling star. Their sigil is a sword and a falling star on a lavender background. A cadet branch of the family are the Daynes of High Hermitage.

## History

House Dayne of Starfall are one of the most ancient houses in the Seven Kingdoms, claiming ancestry dating back ten thousand years to the dawn of days. Though their fame largely rests on their ancestral sword, called Dawn, and the men who wield it. The first Dayne is said to have raised Starfall on an island at the mouth of the Torrentine, having tracked a falling star there and found a stone of magical powers. His descendants, thereafter, became the First Men Kings of the Torrentine and Lords of Starfall.

The Daynes have taken part in many battles between Dorne and the Reach. In particular, they have been killing Oakhearts for thousands of years and King Samwell Dayne, called the Starfire, once burned Oldtown. The last Dayne King, Vorian Dayne, known as the Sword of the Evening, was defeated in Nymeria's War and sent to the Wall. Afterwards the Daynes supported Nymeria against King Yorick V Yronwood. Nymeria's third husband was Ser Davos Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. Nymeria, Princess of Dorne, was later succeeded by her eldest daughter by her first husband, Mors Martell, not her son by Davos.
Bloodstone

Bloodstone is the largest of the fourteen major islands in the Narrow Sea that make up the Stepstones.

## History

The largest of the Stepstones, Bloodstone has been the island of choice for a number of Pirate Lords and exiled Nobles, most notably so Daemon Targaryen.

Named for the dark-red sand beaches on the southern and eastern sides of the island, Bloodstone is pockmarked with abandoned outposts, burnt harbours and forgotten smugglers dens.

## Recent History

Until recently, Bloodstone and the nearby mist-covered Veiled Isle was ruled over by the Sleeper King, before his crew mutinied him, abandoning him on a small, nameless isle south of Redwater. It then became the seat of the Pirate King of the Stepstones, Maron Martell.

After Maron's death, the island then came to be conquered by Captain-Admiral Lysanne Lyzane of the Wolves on the Wind.

Following Aeron Greyjoy's appointment to the Small Council as Master of Ships, he set forth to bring the island under his control, forcing the Wolves on the Wind off the isle without a fight.
Grover Tully

Riding

The second son of Mychael Tully, Grover rose to serve his family and counsel his brother. Though his words were not always full of wisdom, but fury and aggression. A young man with an almighty temper, Grover took to sword and steel over words and diplomacy. A fair man, an honourable man, though sometimes blinded by his rage. He was a true berserker.

Sword and shield, every day from the moment the sun rose until the sun set. Military warfare was his focus and what brought joy into his days. As brother to Axel, they would train and spar every evening. His brother had lessons beyond the sword, but Grover did not.

Like any aspiring Knight, Grover learnt to ride a horse. Not like a page or a common noble. But like a warrior and a Knight of Riverrun. With a steed as black as his armour, Grover would become an adept rider. Which only improved his prowess in battle, specifically leading the vanguard.

In 266, the Widow Raiders brought chaos and havoc to Tully lands. Seeking to pillage the villages, rape the women and destroy their homes. Upon discovery of their hideout, it was Grover that led the charge and disbanded the bandits, slaying their leader in single combat. For his bravery and tenacity, he was Knighted by his father.

When Durran's Defiance came, Grover would lead the Tully vanguard into battle time and time again. Rallying his men on the brink of defeat, slaying enemies beyond counting through sheer adrenaline filled rage and tenacity. But the bloody murder upon the battlefield did not go without consequences, as Grover turned to drowning himself in ale. If only to stop the screams that haunted his sleep.

He would seek distractions to curb his addiction, travelling Westeros and competing in any and every tourney that was announced and finding some success. But the screams and nightmares did not dissipate.

He wold serve his brother faithfully after their father's death. Following his orders and giving counsel. Since the defiance, Grover pushed for war to take back the lands that Aemond Blackfyre promised them. But his brother sought peace and to find their rule through other means.

One day, his brother finally grew tired of waiting and bowing to Daemon's rule, uniting the Riverlords once more and prepared to march on Harrenhal. But he was betrayed by Brynden Blackwood, kin to Lord Frey. The man who was newly named as Lord of the Trident.

With his nephew in the Westerlands, seeking an alliance. It was the Steelfin that would lead the front lines of the Riverlands rebellion.

Like her father's other acknowledged bastards, Alerie was invited to live and work at Karhold. Due to this, she is close with the other children and bastards of Lord Harrion.

A sweet, quiet girl, she is cared for deeply by anyone she meets. She remains the only one of Lord Harrion's bastards that is cared for by Lady Catelyn.

## Appearance

Alerie bears the dark hair of her Lord father, but her green eyes, assumedly, she inherits from her mother.
Arlan Piper

Layla Piper, daughter.

## Biography

Arlan was born a cruel man, just by his very nature.

When training with the sword as a boy, he was once hit quite hard in the arm. Instead of shrugging the blow off and carrying on with his day, Arlan disarmed the boy who had hit him and beat him with the training sword until he was bloody and bruised. Despite his tendency to lash out when he was younger, Arlan developed a disciplined fighting style, growing his prowess with the sword.

Arlan lived a relatively normal life, even making a few friends, but they were few. Being the son of a prominent lord, Arlan also interacted with many other riverlords, and sometimes even people outside of his region. During his teenage years, Arlan became an acquaintance of the man that became the Master-of-Laws, Perwyn Mallister, as the boy was squiring for Arlan’s father.

When Arlan’s father passed, Perwyn left Pinkmaiden and Arlan assumed the lordship. A few years after Arlan’s father passed, Arlan married a young daughter of the current lord Darry, who bore him a son within a year of marriage.

During his lordship, he began to hone his ability to command others, but this ability fully blossomed ten years later, in the Defiance.

In Durran’s Defiance, Arlan became well versed in the arts of not only commanding people, but leading attacks and planning defensive strategies. He was forced to adapt out of his element, and he succeeded, becoming a leading commander in the Riverlands during the Ironborn raids, even killing Ironborn lords, seriously developing his tactics along the way.

When he returned home, Arlan had a relatively uneventful life. The only things that he cared about that happened were the births of two more of his children, both of whom he would groom to be loyal to House Piper, above all.

Bryn

Bryn is a Moderator of Iron Throne Roleplay, first joining ITRP in 3.0 before joining the Mod Team during 4.0.

## Mod History

#### Early Career

Bryn first joined ITRP during 3.0, having previously been a Moderator for GOTRP under the name 'Ulrich'. Of initial little worth, Bryn draws his name from his first character: Brynden Stone, a bastard of Harrenhal. Bryn first rose to prominence in ITRP during the Battle of King's Landing at the end of 3.0. Following the departure of the Rebel Forces commander, Bryn took over to lead the Rebels to an....arguable victory.

In 4.0, Bryn stayed to true to his humble beginnings, taking up the Minor House of Farwynd of the Lonely Light. He would also go on to play Lyra Caron, Lady of Nightsong, and Baelor Sunglass, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, in 4.0.

### Joining the Mod Team

Bryn joined into the Mod Team in 4.0 as a Junior Moderator along with Mango to help with the ever growing duties of the Mod Team.

He would stay on the Mod Team in 5.0, making the leap from small potatoes to big league primary character with Rhaegar Bittersteel, Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. He also returned to the wall as Aemon Bittersteel, Maester of the Night's Watch, and with a callback to his original character: Brynden the Bard.

### Mod Jobs

Bryn is the mod in charge of the Night's Watch. Noting that the Wall always seemed to get the short end of the stick, despite being of prominence in the books, Bryn took the initiative to revitalise the Wall upon joining the Mod Team. Nearly all Wall-centric plots spawn the mind of Bryn and his is the Mod in charge of the BlackBrother account, used for Night's Watch/Wildling/Ravenwatch related Mod Rolls. When Bryn isn't busy with OBB, he'll be helping out with a wide range of tasks from PR to Common Man to lore.

Bryn is also the Admin of the discord server and (with assistance from Ron) is responsible for the majority of changes to the chatroom. Bryn keeps an eye on the chat mods and makes sure everything runs smoothly, hence having the LC title.
Company of the Cat

The Company of the Cat, also called the Cats, are a company of three thousand sellswords found in the Free Cities.

## History

There is a lingering enmity between the Company of the Cat and the Windblown, since they fought on opposite sides in the Disputed Lands during the War of Unification, the Company of the Cat taking a contract with the Lyseni, the Windblown fighting as part of the joint Tyroshi-Myrish forces. Their Captains met upon the battlefield, and the tales tell that both dealt their rival a fatal blow before succumbing to the one they had received.

Since the death of their captain, they have been absorbed into The Azure Dragon and are working under them, no longer an independent sellsword comapany.
Daeron Targaryen

**Daeron Targaryen** was the second child of Aurion Targaryen, and the great-grandson of Bloodraven. He married Illiyara Mopyrin 258 AC, but tragically passed away in 267 AC when Tyrosh was ravaged by the Grey Plague.

He was gifted the Valyrian Steel sword Dark Sister by his father as a wedding present, and was said to be a mighty warrior with incredible strength.
Arthur Estermont

**Arthur Estermont,** also called **"Art"**, is the head of House Estermont and Lord of Greenstone.

## Appearance and Character

Arthur is tall and proud, with a square face, brown hair, blue eyes, and a cleft chin.

## History

### Early life

Arthur Estermont was born to Lord Byron Estermont and Lady Wylla Manderly. He had two younger siblings, Jocelyn and Johanna, and one older bastard half-brother, Beric Storm. Arthur received a formal education in statecraft, mathematics, history, and religion. He found that he had a strong interest in commerce and banking, much to the disapproval of his fanatical father, who viewed them as inherently sinful to a fault.

Not yet a man grown, Arthur remained on Greenstone during Durran's Defiance. At age sixteen, he toured the Free Cities with his uncle Duncan. When he returned, however, he discovered that Byron had exiled Beric to Essos for unspoken reasons.

### Lordship

In 276 AC, Lord Byron and Lady Wylla were drowned in a storm near Cape Wrath, and Arthur was consequently named head of House Estermont and Lord of Greenstone at the age of twenty. Arthur improved infrastructure and funded merchants from Bear Island to Braavos to Qarth. He also issued an official pardon of Beric Storm for all crimes and requested he return home, but the raven received no reply.

Arthur found an unusual obsession with the Summer Islands after the exile prince Xhobar Zhaqu was wrecked on Estermont and taken into Greenstone. Intent on establishing House Estermont as a great mercantile power, he planned on using House Zhaqu's plight to his advantage, but found himself inexorably accepting of his friendship as well.

Three years after his pardoning, Beric returned to Greenstone from Qarth on-board an Estermont trading ship with strange tales about the Free Cities, Slaver's Bay. and the Jade Sea. Arthur took him into his retinue as his confidante and captain of the guard, although Beric himself wouldn't speak of the circumstances surrounding his exile.

## Recent Events

Domnach

## Appearance

Domnach looks every bit the wanderer. His mane of black hair is long and wild, lazily tied behind his head, and a faint scruff covers his face. His eyes are a pale blue, nearly grey. Domnach cuts an intimidating figure, standing a rough head taller than most men. His form is covered in thick cordage of muscle, the tanned skin stretched tight across in an almost grotesque display of strength. Scars and abrasions litter his body, serving as memories from his travels. He wears a cobbled together mash of clothing, simple hides and leathers, and a sword is slung across his back. A hatchet hangs lazily at his side, simply slid into a belt. Tattoos of swirling images are splayed across his chest and back. Filled with runes and symbols, dozens of separate tattoos all come together as one large mural across his thick form. Trinkets and trophies hang from his belt, a sign of his lifestyle.

## Biography

Born around 258, the winter before the Blue Rose spring. His father was a smith for the Clan Burley, his mother made clothes with the other clan women. Some remarked it was a miracle he survived, for the clan had nearly starved that winter. His mother often called him *Rhosyn a las*, which means roughly "Blue flower." As he grew, the boy was always a bit larger than his fellow children.

In 268, the Burley ordained that a load of goods were to be sent to the Crows at Eastwatch, to be traded for supplies the Clan needed. Domnach and his father were among the ones to make the trip. The journey to Eastwatch was a interesting, if uneventful one for Domnach. He found Eastwatch to be a strange, almost alien place. The castle and buildings were all new to the young mountain dweller.

While they were making the trade at Eastwatch, Tyroshi slavers raided the settlement. His father and many of his fellow clanmembers were killed. Domnach and 5 other Burleys were enslaved. Domnach was whipped to near the point of death after trying to bite the hand of one of the slavers. Eventually, he was separated from his kin and sent to work in a grain mill. He would remain in such manual labor jobs for the next several years. His body grew and become strong through the work.

In 273, when the boy was 15, he was sold to a fighting pit in Astapor. The expectation was that he would be an easy, dramatic kill for one of the champions. The outcome was much different. Domnach managed to nearly decapitate the veteran fighter with his own shield. The crowd adored the "foreign barbarian" and chanted his name while he was dragged back into the pen. He grew as a fighter, becoming a deadly duelist. He passed through various owners, becoming a minor celebrity. Eventually, an owner took pity on him. He freed Domnach, giving him a sword and a bedroll.

Domnach struck out into the world. He grew as a fighter, becoming a respectable sellsword. He found himself in Dorne, Slaver's Bay, and all along the Free Cities. The world fascinated him, and he longed to see more of it. His job as a sellsword was just a means to an end. The political state of Essos has left Domnach with plenty of work, but he's beginning to think he wants *more*.

## Bio-Timeline:

Born 256, the third son of Ser Dickon Cox, third son of Ser Harry Cox, the late Knight of Saltpans. Unlike his older brothers, Colin Cox was a man of the arts, demonstrating his suave courtly charm from a young age, even charming his older sister to give him a quick peck on the lips at three and ten. Though, he tended to use his charming soft voice and looks for more mischievous things than being a simple singer. Ever since he realized he could get what he wanted by stealing them, he became quite proficient in thievery.

When he was seven and ten, Colin Cox decided to set out to make his own, leaving Saltpans behind with a coin purse, his trusted steed Princess, and his instruments. Traveling across Westeros, preforming for Lords and Ladies great and small. In 276, the Duel of the Dragons broke out, and Colin Cox was recalled to fight in the brutal war, earning his knighthood in the Scarwood.

To very few people does he speak to of his time during the Duel.

Following the war, he traveled to Braavos for three years, studying the art of the graceful fighting style of Water Dancing after demonstrating the gift of Altruism to a poor Braavosi man, who had once been a great water dancer, handing down is own Braavos' blade to Colin when he left the Titans City.

Returning to Westeros for the Kings Coronation and Nameday feast, AND wedding, he was one of the more obscure performers, overshadowed by one called Brynden the Bard( with the way he carried himself, he might have thought he was some sort of bloody dragon! Pfft, as if.)

Now, he rides in the Reach, following Lord Tarly to his great castle, preparing to preform for his wedding, and keeping an eye out for any women, to catch his eye.
