Rhaegar Darklyn

Naerys Waters

Daenerys Darklyn

The third and youngest son of Lord Jason Darklyn, Rhaegar was born in 235 AC, just a year before his father’s death. Complications during his birthing also took the life of his mother. Rhaegar was technically raised by his older brother Daemon, but in actuality looked more to his bastard cousin Jon Waters as his father figure. Jon Waters taught Rhaegar two things above all: how to swing a sword, and that bastardy was nothing shameful. When he was young, Rhaegar left Westeros to travel the world. In his travels, he met several women that would end up bearing him bastards: Miklaz, the eldest bastard, whose mother was a slave girl from the Summer Isles that Rhaegar met while in Astapor; Van, whose mother was a Yi Tiish girl that Rhaegar always bragged was a princess; and Chataya, the youngest and only female bastard, whose mother was of Qarth.
House Redwyne

## House Redwyne of the Arbor

House Redwyne of the Arbor is one of the main noble houses sworn to Highgarden. Their seat is the Arbor, an island south of the Whispering Sound. House Redwyne is a powerful house with strong ties to both House Tyrell and House Rogare of Lys, and the Redwyne fleet provides a significant portion of the fleet of the Reach. Their blazon is a burgundy grape cluster on blue, symbolizing the famed wines of the Arbor. Their House words are, "Ripe for Victory".

Since the days of Lord Hobber the Homely who married Lady Rhaenyra Rogare of Lys, members of the house have tended to bear a unique mixture of Westerosi and Lyseni physical traits; Many of House Redwyne can bear either platinum blonde or red hair. This peculiar trait of the family is sometimes joked about, as just as House Redwyne is renowned the world over for it’s wines the family likewise produces both “golds” and “reds” of hair within their blood.

The Valyrian physical features of House Rogare decidedly tend to show at times within the hair, facial structure, build, and skin tone of House Redwyne, yet the telltale freckles and blue eyes of their Westerosi roots are exceedingly dominant over the Valyrian traits of the family. Aside from Payton Redwyne, there has never been a Redwyne with eyes of violet color.

## History

The Redwynes claim descent from Gilbert of the Vines, a legendary son of Garth Greenhand. House Redwyne ruled over the Arbor as Kings of the Arbor until its last king was lost at sea, allowing his cousin, King Meryn III Gardener, to make the isle part of the Kingdom of the Reach. Fleets from the Arbor and Oldtown protected the Reach from naval attacks during the Andal invasion.

During the Dance of the Dragons, the Arbor declared for the greens, though saw almost none of the fighting.

During the War of Unification House Redwyne and the Fleet of the Arbor were a decisive force, the sigil of the grapevine being seen in many a conflict during the war and taking the island of Golden Haven for the Crown during the Liberation of Golden Haven.
Ormund Trant

**Ormund Trant** - the Heir to Gallowsgrey and son of Galladon Trant.

## Biography

### Early Years and Childhood

Ormund Trant was born as the first and only living child to Lord Galladon Trant, the then Spymaster of the House, and Lady Mira Butterwell in 265 AC. Due to all of the pair's other children being stillborn, Ormund was raised with extreme care and caution, which led to situations in which his father didn't let him go and train, but instead read and learn under the Maester.

The man, however, sometimes allowed the boy to go and hunt pigeons or sparrows on Gallowgrey's walls, which made Ormund into a great climber and archer.

One dark, stormy day, the boy sneaked out, as he decided to shoot down a falcon, one that he saw flying. He was clearly injured. He knew that it wasn't the best weather for climbing, but he also knew that the Maester wouldn't allow him to get out, which would make him have to waste such an opportunity. The boy couldn't allow that! Ormund slipped that day and fell down the walls of the keep. The Maester instantly began to treat him, just so the boy would be able to walk. It was effective; well, maybe it wasn't exactly that, but moreso the fact that Ormund fell on his knees. As such, he was able to retain the power over one of the legs, and the other limped, but he was to walk, though with two canes.

That was a huge tragedy, as Galladon, his father, was seen as a likely heir to who was to come after the great lord Raymont, a man that repaired the House, and that was Qarlton, a zealous and very chaste man, that announced that he would be celibate, to please the gods, so they could bless the Huse even further. However, after learning about what happened to his nephew, he denounced his celibacy and produced an Heir, albeit female, Shyra.

### Adolescence and Teenage Years (later childhood, I guess)

His monoplegia made Ormund even more keen to develop his mind, something that his father decided to support, by teaching his son the arts of manipulation and sleuth. However, Galladon was a man with a big heart, something that Ormund did not deem as a positive, if in such a position. He decided to go further than him, a few times sabotaging men for information. He developed to become ruthless, but, to an extent, content. He never aspired to reach the status of the Lord, as he understood that that would murder, and he didn't consider that pleasant.
Raina Darklyn

Maric Darklyn

Ethan Darklyn

Elsabeth Darklyn

Ella Darklyn

Raina Darklyn is the seventh child of Lord Daemon Darklyn. Together with her twin sister Visenya, they are Daemon's youngest children.

When Lord Daemon first was called to King's Landing to serve as Master of Whispers, Visenya and Raina were only 3 years old and so they stayed behind in Duskendale in the care of their eldest brother, Baelor.

When the girls reached 12 years of age, they followed their father to the capitol, where they have remained as ladies of the court while their father served the King. Being in King's Landing has raised both girls hopes of finding eligible young lords or knights to marry, though their father will have to approve the match.
Marq Hamell

**Marq Hamell** is a squire to Perceon Lannister. Though not as strong and athletic as his counterpart, Addam Westerling, he is quick-witted, a good talker and an even better listener. He is one-and-three years old, slightly younger than Addam, but still a lot more juvenile. Marq likes to poke fun at Addam's serious nature, do pranks and be a minor nuisance to all from time to time.
Serenei Balarr

Daario Balarr (Brother)

Serenei Balarr is the daughter of Varqo Balarr and Phaea Ormellon, and the younger sister of Vargen, Vyrio and Daario.

She is married to Belaro Otherys, and currently resides in Braavos with him and their four children.

## Appearance and Personality

Not dissimilar to her older brothers Vargen and Vyrio, Serenei maintains a neat but functional appearance, with her shoulder length coal-black hair swept tidily to the side. Her amber-brown eyes and unduly scornful visage hide her quick and calculating mind, shaped by the teachings of her father Varqo and older brothers.
Ottyn Massey

**Ottyn Massey** was a knight who served in the Kingsguard of King Maelys I Blackfyre. Why he was chosen to become part of the Kingsguard is unknown, as he was only a middling fighter at best. Rumor has it Ottyn performed sexual favors to gain favor with the King, though the late king and the late knight denied this to their last breaths.

Ser Ottyn Massey took on his nephew, Coryn Massey, as a squire in 255 AC. He trained the boy for eight years, until he knighted Coryn for winning the Tournament of the Hook by unseating himself in the finals.

He replaced Ser Raymond Crakehall in 252 AC, and was replaced by Ser Daric Dondarrion in 270 AC - following his death during Durran's Defiance at the hands of his sworn brother, the traitorous Lord Commander Domeric Dayne.
Moluu

Moluu is one of the fourteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Moluu is one of the larger major islands of the Summer Isles, although considerably smaller than the isles of Walano, Omboru and Jhala. Just to the north is the Isle of Love, and to the east the Three Exiles.

The tropical forests that cover Moluu are particularly dense, and filled with an abundance of life, both large and small. Spotted panthers larger than the lions depicted on the sigil of House Lannister roam the forest, and the air is filled with the cries of dozens of species of bird, and hundreds of insects. One particular species of note is the Golden Stag, a large type of beetle with a carapace that catches the light with a brilliance and splendour comparable to that of the precious stones mined on Jhala.

## Ruler

The Golden Stag is the chosen sigil that the ruling family, the Dols, display proudly upon their banners of coloured fabric above their wooden palace in Mango Grove, the largest settlement on Moluu.
Larazor’s Rock

Larazor's Rock is southeastern most of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones.

## History

There are three tales of the origin of the small, rocky island's name.

* Some sailors talk of a Pentosi merchant by the name of Larazor, whom found himself stranded on the island after his cog was scuttled by one of the vicious storms known to sweep from the Stepstones. After nearly two decades upon the rock, he was rescued by a Lyseni Captain whom had come ashore in hope of restocking his supply of freshwater.
* Others talk of a Pirate King without rival, whom was the first to claim the island after the breaking of the Arm of Dorne. From the small island he commanded a fleet unlike any other, and brought even the Three Daughters to heel. This tale is discounted by most, as no reference to this Pirate King can be found in the histories of Lys, Tyrosh or Myr.
* The final story is the most sinister and mystical of them all. The tales speak of a sea-leviathan made man by the Merling King. In his wrath, the man collected the skulls of all those whom prayed to the Merling King before throwing them into the depths. As the great stack of heads slowly turned to stone with time, the island was formed.

## Recent History

Larazor's Rock was the site of the defeat of the residual Kingdom of the Three Daughter's fleet by joint Royal-Lyseni forces during the War of Unification. Shortly afterwards, the island, as well as Golden Haven and Guardian, were liberated from Targaryen control.

The island was ruled over by the Summer Islander Zobar Toqu and his fleet of nearly a dozen ships until they submitted to the rule of the Pirate King Maron Martell.

He asked that Leyton take another wife. Lymond died a fortnight later. It was rumored that Naerys - her blood of Old Valyria - used blood magic on the old fool, however, Leyton put a stop to those gossips by flogging a steward for mentioning it to one of his guards.
Ravos Hoare

Acrobatics

Ravos a supposed descendant of the Iron King, Harren Hoare and current first-mate of the Whore's Revenge, serving under his half-brother, Harmund Hoare.

## Biography

Ravos Hoare was born to a Volantene whore and Harren Hoare, whose legitimacy is unknown but tells stories of his ancestors and how he is a descendant of the great Iron King, Harren Hoare. Ravos grew up on the streets of Volantis, getting into trouble, getting into fights, most often with children bigger than him, sometimes grown adults who would pummel him. He lost, a lot. But in time he learnt from those losses, his reflexes became sharper and his natural ability in a fight blossomed, he became a gifted duelist.

When Ravos turned ten, his father Harren Hoare returned to Volantis and visited the same whore he had impregnated, upon the discovery of Ravos, he demanded that he join his crew and be brought up as his son, and so Ravos Hoare joined the Black Fleet of Harren Hoare and was named the Black Prince of the Black Fleet. His skill with the swordwould increase over the coming years as he learnt to fight with corsairs and reavers, not common folk in a tavern and children in the streets, he became an outstanding swordsman.

Fighting on ships was not easy and one would have to adapt to the small spaces and obstacles found when on a ship, and running around cities to make his escape also aided his development in acrobatics.

Like any corsair, and would-be captain, Ravos learnt how to sail, navigate and perform his duty whilst aboard the Whore’s Revenge. It was not all fighting, reaving and raping. It was of utmost important that Ravos became adept at sailing.

Ravos sailed across the jade sea with his father and two half-brothers, who were also born to whores in other cities, but they were brothers all the same. They visited every minor town as they slowly and gruellingly expanded their fortune, but Ravos wanted a greater prize. Their father was content being a petty pirate, Ravos wanted an island, lots of islands… *Iron* Islands. He had never been to the Iron Isles, but he dreamt of the salt throne every night, and every day he hated his father more and more, believing that he was holding him and his brothers back.

Ronnel Hersy

Biography:

Ronnel Hersy was born to an impoverished tourney knight of House Hersy, named Harrold, and his wife, Ryella Waynwood. Ronnel was never meant to rule Newkeep, as Harrold was a second son of the current lord, Lord Humfrey Hersy. Being in such a situation as he, he was taught from birth to remember his roots, regardless of his station.

He lived in King's Landing during a good number of years, from birth to about the age of six. During this time, he learned a good number of lessons about human nature, though he would never understand them until later in these formative years. He recalled his father often leaving to compete in the lists, which he never won, and the family heavily relied on handouts from Harrold's father.

However, on Ronnel's sixth name-day, news came to Harrold in his run-down apartment in King's Landing. It was from Oswell Arryn, and it stated that, after some betrayal by Harrold's brother, Artys, both Humfrey and the traitor were now dead, and he was the new lord of Newkeep.

When the family arrived at Newkeep to consolidate control, Lady Ryella gave birth to another son, Illifer. Ronnel and Illifer have been at odds ever since.

Along with Newkeep, came a great Maester, known as Waymar. He was a Valeman himself, and he had brought a great many books for the young children to read. Ronnel fell in love with the study of tactics and logistics, reading about everything from the Andal Invasion to the Blackfyre Rebellion.

Along with this study, he became a duelist without peer over time. He began to outpace all in Newkeep, and eventually he was knighted by his father in 264 AC.

The next five years were quiet for Ser Ronnel Hersy. But in 269 AC, he was leading a routine patrol through Newkeep's lands to the west, when he heard screams of anguish, and went ahead to investigate with a force of 20 knights.

He found a Mountain Clansmen attack on a retinue, the retinue of Lady Jeyne Belmore. Ronnel and his knights quickly killed the Clansmen, and found the young woman. Ronnel took her to the safety of Newkeep.

Over the next two years, the two fell in love, and eventually, with consent of both houses, married in 271 AC.

In 272 AC, however, things grew darker for Ser Ronnel. He was returning from Braavos, where Jeyne and he had spent their honeymoon, when he heard that his father had died. Harrold Hersy was interned with the rest of the Hersy house in a mausoleum beneath Newkeep.

Ronnel then ascends the lordship, and rules quietly until present day. He has two young children, Aemma, who is nine, and Triston, who is seven. His brother wanders Westeros, and Ronnel likes not knowing where his brother is. He is content with ruling quietly, until the Mountain Clans stir.

Still WIP
Noble Families of Braavos

There are numerous families of noble birth within the Free City of Braavos, attracted by the culture and open freedoms of the city in terms of trade, personal liberty and religion.

Many are Key Holders of the Iron Bank, and the Heads of the Families are seen more often than not wearing their keys proudly around the neck.

## Main Families

### Antaryon

Principal amongst the Keyholder families, the Antaryons have a large presence within the city of Braavos, and serve both as financial and naval support for the Sealord. Owners of a island close the Sealord's Palace, they reside within a keep of grey stone-brick, from which the entirety of Braavos can be viewed.

Since the recent Battle of Sweetwater Source against the tyrant King of Lorath, Qarlan Ennahran, the Antaryons have owned a Valyrian steel blade taken from the Lorathi, which they named Kingbreaker in response to his death upon the battlefield.

### Maris

Another of the Keyholder families that claim unhindered descent from the original three-and-twenty Keyholders, the Maris family have branched out into mercantile trade, sending their blue and purple striped cogs across the Known World. Their reach has put them in direct conflict with the Balarr Family, whose trade is based out of Pryr, in the northern Stepstones.

### Otherys

A family perhaps most famous for Bellegere Otherys, the Black Pearl, the Otherys are a new family of power in Braavos. Whilst they do not hold an island of their own, or Valyrian Steel like many of the other Families, the power of the current Black Pearl, Bellemira Otherys is known throughout the city. So beloved is she that visitors come from across the Known World to shower her with gifts, in hope that it might buy her favour and time, for a short while.

### Prestayn

Traditionally heavily involved in the running of the Chequy Port, which serves to check and examine vessels upon their arrival to the Free City, members of House Prestayn have taken the safety of the city very seriously, and been generously rewarded for it. The Prestayns hold a tower-keep on a small island of their own in the north of the city. The family also owns a Valyrian Steel longsword named Shipbreaker.

### Reyaan

Having long been a presence within the city of Braavos, the Reyaans have grown increasingly powerful since the wars with the Pentosi at the turn of the century by taking a leading role in annual inspections of the Free City to ensure that they are not breaching the signed agreement of peace. With the Valyrian Steel longsword Peacemaker at their waist, the members of House Reyaan serve an important role for the peace in northwest Essos. The Reyaans, much like the Antaryons, Prestayns and Maris, own an island within the city, upon which they have constructed a tower and manse in which they may enjoy their luxuries undisturbed by the city around them.

### Sollys

The descent of House Sollys from the Keyholders is contested and as such they do not enjoy quite such renown as some of the other families of the city. Despite this, the family's power and wealth comes from their control of the islands of Sellagoro's Shield, where they have made their home.
Manticore Isles

The Manticore Isles are an archipelago of seven islands found within the Jade Sea, close to the territory of the Golden Empire of Yi Ti.

## Geography

The islands are found in the eastern Jade Sea, east of Marahai and south of Leng, but east of Asshai and the Shadow Lands. Each of the islands is covered in a thick canopy of trees and plant life, and the forests sing with the sound of a hundred types of birds and thousands of kinds of insects all day and night.

The islands is perhaps most famous for the manticores that give the archipelago their name, which are found in great number throughout the undergrowth of the forests. It is said that when men first came to the island, they mistakenly thought they had discovered an island were gemstones grew from the ground and walked through the fallen leaves, only to realise their folly when they tried to harvest the riches.

Despite this, the islands are still visited frequently by those either brave or ignorant enough to see past the dangers of the fatal poison of the insects and catch them for selling across the markets and bazaars of the Known World.
Iron Throne

The **Iron Throne** was the throne upon which the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men sat, located in the Great Hall of the Red Keep in the city of King's Landing. Besides the monarchs themselves, only their Hand could sit on the Iron Throne. The Iron Throne was also a metonym referring to the monarchy that rules the Seven Kingdoms and the authority of the monarchy (e.g. "rebellion against the Iron Throne").

### Background

The Iron Throne was forged at the order of Aegon the Conqueror, the first of the Targaryen Kings, who conquered six of the seven independent kingdoms of Westeros and unified them under his rule - the seventh kingdom of Dorne was later joined through a marriage alliance. The throne was allegedly forged from the 1,000 swords that had been surrendered to Aegon in the War of Conquest by the lords who had offered their fealty, though the actual number of the swords is less than two hundred. These were subsequently melted down by the fiery breath of Aegon's dragon, Balerion the Black Dread, then beaten and bent into a throne of imposing appearance.
Leonora Karstark

Karstark Scion

**Leonora Karstark** is the eldest trueborn child of Lord Harrion Karstark and his wife, Catelyn Stark. She was born to the couple in 265 AC in their home of Karhold.

## Appearance

Leonora shares her mother's brunette locks and grey eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes are considered quite appealing, although she is often overshadowed by her younger sister's golden-haired beauty.
Ruldolf Brune

## Rudolf Brune

Rudolf Brune, Squire to Prince Aemond Blackfyre, Champion of the Realm, is the only surviving son of Lord Orrin Brune of Dyre Den.

## History

Ruldolf was born in 264 AC to his father, Orrin Brune, and his mother, Talia Pyne. Both of his parents were proud Clawmen and very familiar with others of Crackclaw Point. The two had already given birth to two other children before Ruldolf, Beron and Clarice. When Ruldolf turned six, his father and brother left with other warriors of Crackclaw Point to fight with the Prince of Dragonstone, Aemond Blackfyre.

Both father and son died in the fighting, leaving Rudolf a struggling life on the run from those who opposed the men of Crackclaw Point, including Rudolf's father and brother, from fighting with the Prince. Moving from house to house of those who called themselves friends of the Brune's, Rudolf was always a welcome, jovial guest who used his small wooden harp to shar songs and stories he learned from the houses he had been to previously. After the war ended and Ruldolf was taken out of hiding, Ruldolf's mother petitioned to Prince Aemond to take on Ruldolf as a ward, which the Prince accepted.

Ruldolf has served as Prince Aemond's squire for eight years. Along the way, he learned High Valyrian, exceled at fighting with dirks and daggers, and fought in the Slaughter of Scarwood where he lost three of his fingers.

Mantarys

Mantarys is one of the cities of the Valyrian Peninsula and Lands of the Long Summer, located north of the Smoking Sea upon the tip of the Sea of Sighs.

## History

Mantarys was founded by the Valyrian Freehold. Although rich and glorious, it did not have self-rule and was instead governed by men and women sent from Valyria to rule in the name of the Freehold and thus it is not counted among the Free Cities. The city survived the Doom of Valyria, and remains inhabited to this day. Whilst not at adversely affected as those that used to live within the ruins before the purges by the Velgaerons, it is said that many of the residents are twisted and unkind to look upon.

## The Empire of New Valyria

A decade before the turn of the century, the explorers of New Valyria heard tales of a great city to the north of their territory, which had survived the Doom largely unscathed. Seeking out the city, Aegalon Tarreos and his warrior-scouts found themselves looking upon the walls of the city of Mantarys, built upon the northern tip of the Sea of Sighs. But it was not just the explorers of Valyria who had heard of their counterparts. The most powerful of the eight great families of Mantarys, the Velgaerons, deemed the queer-looking people approaching from the south demons and spirits of those killed by the Doom, and fell upon them with sword, spear and axe. The Patriarch of the Smoking Sea was slain, and his men butchered, much as he had ordered of the Lyseni a decade prior.

The Velgaerons, accompanied by the men of the Dalnaris and Calgaris families, sought out the lands from whence they had come, fearing that they would return in greater numbers to seek out revenge. The mighty families of Mantarys set out into the lands ravaged by the Doom, finding the fledgling settlements build within the ruins of Oros, Tyria and the island nation of Elyria. The demons they found were put to the sword as they tended to crops, managed their cattle and constructed buildings of stone and wood, and their bodies pilled and burned to prevent their return. Once the smoke ceased to spill from the great pyres they had built, the soldiers of Mantarys found themselves awed by what remained of the cities, and the heads of the three families began to reminisce of the tales of their ancestors. Reminded of the glory of Valyria at the height of its power, they elected to rebuild what the Doom had left behind.

The Velgaerons have since ruled Oros, the Dalnarises Tyria and the Calgarises Elyria, and while the three cities have largely worked in conjunction with each other and the city of Mantarys, tensions still exist between the ancestors of those who first starting to rebuild the land of the Valyrians.
House Hornwood

**House Hornwood of the Hornwood** is a Noble Northern House with wooded lands neighbouring the lands of House Manderly and House Bolton.

## Ancient History

House Hornwood are a fiercely loyal House, standing behind House Stark for eternity and protecting the interests of it's people. The Hornwood is rich land ripe for growing crops and keeping farm animals. The Hornwoods have cultivated the land well and fed it's people in the harshest of winters.

As principal bannermen, the Hornwoods have never failed to answer the Stark's call and have followed the Kings of Winter into many a battle. Famed for their skill in battle, the Hornwoods have remained staunch in their preparation for fighting should there be a need for it.

## Recent History

### Durran's Defiance

When Lord Harlon Stark called his bannermen after King Maelys I Blackfyre killed the members of the Small Council including Lord Manderly, Lord Torrhen Hornwood was one of the first to answer the call; leading the main force of the Hornwood army down south accompanied by his brother Harwin "the Bullmoose" Hornwood, his son and heir Brandon Hornwood, his two sons Harwin "the Black" Hornwood and Daryn Hornwood as well as his cousins Rickard Hornwood and Dillon Hornwood.

The Hornwood's met up with the rest of the Northern force at the Twins and clashed with Vale forces in the Battle of the Bridge. The Hornwood's suffered losses with the Heir Brandon and cousin Dillon perishing in a charge by the Knights of the Vale. Lord Torrhen Hornwood and the Bullmoose died combating Harrion Royce.

#### Events After Durran's Defiance

Harwin Hornwood was made Lord of the Hornwood following the Battle of the Bridge. He is best remembered for his horrific act of murder on Lady Royce on the Kingsroad. He fled to Essos after the crime and has been hiding there since.

Lovingly referred to as *The Old Sun*, he was said to have passed peacefully in his chamber at the turn of 268 AC. He was replaced by Ser Harlan Arryn.
Phaea Balarr

Daario Balarr

Serenei Balarr

Phaea Balarr was the wife of Varqo Balarr, the Head of the illustrious Balarr Family, and mother to the current Head, Vyrio, as well as his siblings Vargen, Daario and Serenei.

Born to the Ormellon family of Lys, Phaea married Varqo in a ceremony at the Temple of Trade in her birth-city, before returning with him to his home on the recently acquired Stepstones island of Pryr, where she lived until her death in 268AC from a chill.

## Appearance

Much like many of the nobleborn of Lys, Phaea possessed the silver-gold hair and deep lilac-blue eyes of the Valyrians before her. None of these traits were passed onto her children, but she loved them with all the warmth of a true mother nonetheless, providing the affection that was distant from their father.
Jhala

Jhala is one of the fourteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

Jhala is the largest of the known Summer Isles by landmass, but less populous than Walano to the north. So beautiful and lush is the island that its name alone has grown synonymous with an expression of surprise, although its dual meaning is rarely known outside of the Isles themselves. Home to leagues of vibrant forest filled with all manners of life, valleys and waterfalls of stunning allure, beaches of sand so fine that it flows like water and hills laden heavy with flowers, Jhala is considered by many to be the closest mankind will come to paradise during life.

## Rulers

The island is ruled over by five separate families, and although some border tensions have occurred in the past, life is generally peaceful on the island. The Xhos rule the Red Flower Vale on the eastern aspect of the island, the Zadons Golden Head, a peninsula to the southeast. Ebonhead on the southern coast is the territory of the Sos family and to the northwest the Sweet Lotus Vale is ruled by the Rhaas. On the northern coast, where the island meets the Indigo Straits, the port town at Cocobolo Bay is ruled by the Chuqu family.
Matthos Hardyng

**Matthos Hardyng** was a member of the Queensguard of Queen Daena I Blackfyre during the War of Unification.

## History

It is debated whether he was the shortest serving member of the Kingsguard, and is confirmed to be the shortest serving Queensguard in history, having worn the white cloak only for roughly an hour.

One of Daena's many companions, and a close friend to many of her Queensguard, the Warrior Queen bestowed the cloak upon Matthos during the Warrior Queen's Ploy in place of her fallen Lord Commander - Ser Jaime Bettley. Never once wearing the armour of the order, he tied the cloak around his own personal attire and then fought alongside his Queen.

In the aftermath following Daena's death at the hand of Aurion Targaryen, Ser Matthos was cut down in an attempt to recover her fallen body by a Myrish sellsword.

Pryr

Pryr is the northernmost of the fourteen major islands that make up the Stepstones.

## History

Pryr, the closest of the true Stepstones to the Free City of Tyrosh, has always been kept under a close eye by the mercantile city. When the highly prolific and illustrious Balarr Family Mercentile Company decided to expand out from their establishments in the Daughters, the island of Pryr was deemed the most logical choice.

The Pirate Lord occupying the island, a Stormlander wishing to rival the island status of House Tarth and Estermont via an isle-based seat of his own, was quickly disposed of. In a short naval skirmish between the half-a-dozen warships of Lord Melvan Chaffton and the much larger, better equipped Balarr fleet, the Stormlander was slain, and his seat claimed.

Within just under six decades, the Trading Company had established three settlements upon the island of Pryr, a large harbour town called Balarr, the in-land outpost of Silverpit, named for the ore-rich quarry upon which it was built and Gildstone, a fortified manse in the centre of the island.

The island remains protected by the strength of the Balarr Family Fleet.

He currently lives in the family's manse on the Isle of Birds, where he serves as the Steward of the Household.

## History

After the death of his brother Tychor near the end of 255AC, Marys started a number of visits to the Summer Isles, seeking out the families upon them, hoping to secure exclusive trade deals for the company. After a number of years, his aspirations were finally achieved, and he took the Princess of the Isle of Birds, Zhala Toda, as his wife. The family has since owned a small manse found on the northern aspect of the isle, which serves as a popular retreat for members of the family when needed or desired.
Lorent Merryweather

Lorent Merryweather was a Reachman that served in King Daemon I Blackfyre's Kingguard between 197AC and 210AC, and Daemon II Blackfyre after him, until his death in 224AC.

He replaced Ser Donnel of Duskendale, and was replaced by Ossifer Storm.

Marissa Estren

Marissa Estren is a lady in waiting to Lady Alysanne Estren and her closest companion. Born into House Estren, Lyddens' vassals, she came into Alysanne's service after the rebellion, to further ensure good relationships between the Houses.

## Appearance

Marissa has a dark brown hair, identical eyes, small lips and a plump, full and round body.
Scarwood

Scarwood is one of the fourteen islands that make up the Stepstones.

## History

Scarwood is covered in a thick forest, which holds the thin soil in place as storms pass overhead. As such, the island is one of the few in the Stepstones capable of supporting agriculture. It is therefore a vital island to hold for any Pirate Lord wishing to be truly self-sufficient, and as such has changed hands many times in the past centuries.

## Recent History

The most recent transfer of ownership saw the islands fall from the hands of Captain Jarad, and his brother Alran, called 'The Stonefist'. The pair met at Jarad's holdfast upon the isle for a great feast, and died shortly after, having been poisoned by their rival Maron Martell. The exiled Prince was quick to claim **Scarwood**, Tor and Felstrong for his own.

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

Lyn was born to Criston and Marya Lonmouth, in the year 251 AC. Being the only child born to the two, Lyn was spoiled rotten, though worked twice as hard. He was trained daily since he was a boy. Whilst he never had a mind for strategy, Lyn's training had made him into a beast in combat.

Despite only being the heir of a small house, Lyn's father made sure that he was known throughout the Stormlands. Even in his younger teenage years, he was a renowned sword fighter. Lyn, himself, made sure to mingle with as many people as he could; including the daughters of the lords his father boasted in front of.

When Durran's Defiance came around, and Lyn was a boy no longer, he fought with his father valiantly. Despite his valour, Lyn failed to back up his father after he slipped up in the heat of battle. Criston died a bloody death to a random soldier because of a stupid mistake. In a blind rage, Lyn avenged his father, taking *Stranger's Kiss* from his corpse and continuing the fight with it. It would be in this battle that Lyn Lonmouth was knighted by his Lord Paramount, Royland Baratheon.

After the war, Lyn moved on quickly from his father's death. After all, there was no time to mourn, nor a point to it. His father wouldn't want him to, he would want him to be a good lord, a better lord than himself. And Lyn succeeded. There was never a time when Lyn's sword wasn't stained red. He was a just lord. When he said he was going to behead someone, he did. When he said someone was to lose a hand, they did.

At the age of two-and-twenty, Lyn married a daughter of house Morrigen, one Lyra. Since marrying the lady, he made sure to keep his vows; never straying away from his wife. Soon, the pair had a son, Durran Lonmouth.

Lyn was now in King's Landing for the feast, and whilst he couldn't fight in the melee because of a minor injury, much to his dismay, he was now back in action; ready to obey his liege lord as dutifully as he could, and as honourably as he could.

## Recent Events

Making up for not fighting in the melee due to a minor injury, Lyn took to the training grounds. Fighting nearly ten combatents, he is yet to lose.

## Quotes

*"I feel like my loyalties are clashing, as some fated day draws near."*

- Lyn on the subject of Royland Baratheon.

*"I wish for a peaceful reign of our king, I wish that the Stormlands will be a peaceful place for my son to grow up in, and I wish for a quiet life."*

- Lyn to Ulrick Dayne.

*"I have never been much for wits, nor strategy or books or what have you. I always preferred the sword."*

- Lyn to Syrus Bolton, after duelling him.
The Island Watch of Pryr

The Island Watch of Pryr is an order of soldiers dedicated the protection of the island of Pryr and its inhabitants.

They are found throughout the port-town of Balarr, where their headquarters are located, as well as the mining outpost of Silverpit, and the fortified manse-keep of the Balarr Family, Gildstone.

## Appearance and Armament

The Island Watch wear armour primarily of dyed boiled leather and mail, but many of the Captains will wear steel plate in its place. Each man is given three items upon completion of their training, and they are expected to care for each of them as they would their proudest possessions. The short spear is tipped with hardened steel forged from the iron mined on the island, as too is the sword. The third item is a cloak divided by shade into three bands of blue, mimicking the heraldry of the family they serve.

## Function

The Island Watch patrol the streets of the port town on the northeastern bay of the island, as well as guarding the Martial District of the harbour. They also serve as enforcers and guardsmen of the mines and forges of Silverpit, and regular patrols sweep the largely uninhabited parts of the island for pirate activity.
