Vorian Dayne

Vorian Dayne is the landed knight of House Dayne of High Hermitage. He is the firstborn son of Ulrick Dayne. Vorian is considered one of the best swordsmen in the land. He has taken up the mantle of “The Sword of the Evening” from his grandfather Gerold Dayne, the ‘Darkstar.’

## Appearance and Character

Vorian Dayne holds many Valyrian-like features. He has pure white hair with light blue eyes. He has very defined cheekbones and a jawline that would cut through steel. A scar runs from his eye to his jawline, one he acquired in the war of the Last Dragon.

Vorian would be described as arrogant, proud, and charming all together. He loves to boast and if you are his opponent you would not hear the end of it, even after you lie in the dirt. He loves to instigate and once instigated his brother into chasing him around High Hermitage in there younger years. When it comes to women though, Vorian is a whole different character. Some would say he is charming, being able to woo women is one of his special qualities. Some just find a natural attraction to him.

## History

Vorian Dayne was born in the 3rd moon of 357 AC. From the start he was a very active child. He would not rest in his basset alone so his mother was forced to sleep in his room until late hours in the evening. He and his sister Allyria were as thick as thieves. Their combined mischief drove his father Ulrick to spout grey hairs at thirty. Together they picked on their younger siblings Arthur and Dyanna together. It was all fun and games until Vorian reached an age where he had to start learning how to lead.

Vorian was surrounded by maesters, septons, and High Hermitage’s master-at-arms at the age of 8. He hated getting lessons and would oft sneak out as Maester Cleyton oft fell asleep during their lessons together. He would go see the master-at-arms early and demanded to learn all he had to teach. Vorian’s dream one day was to claim Dawn and become the Sword of the Morning. The greatest to ever claim the sword, surpassing Arthur Dayne. When he turned 12 he started to learn everything from under his father Ulrick. You would never catch Ulrick without little Vorian waddling around behind him. His arrogance started when he disarmed one of his father’s soldiers when they were play fighting. He laughed and screamed in the soldier’s face til he gave him a clout in the ear. Vorian ran to his father and told him to cut off the soldier’s hand for hitting him. But his father reprimanded Vorian and taught him the lesson that not everything will go his way in life, and use your rage and hate to fuel your ambition.

When Vorian was 20 he went off throughout Dorne, the Stormlands, and the Reach. Making friends, drinking wine, and bedding beautiful women. He also got the reputation for being a troublemaker. But when the War of the Last Dragon started in 378, Ulrick called Vorian home to send him to war. He made a name in the War of the Last Dragon becoming one of the best swordsmen in the realm. When the war was over he went back to High Hermitage to learn that his father had passed away from gout while he was away at war. Vorian locked himself in his room for 7 days and 7 nights, only eating when his sister Dyanna put food outside of his door. His brother Arthur said “Vorian went in his room a boy, and emerged a man.” Vorian had to take on the duties of House Dayne of High Hermitage.

In 380, Vorian went to his cousins in Starfall and demanded to take the trials. He proclaimed he would become the Sword of the Morning, and Dawn would be his. He failed the trial of 7, and was not gifted the title, the sword, or the honor that came with it. Vorian angrily left Starfall in haste and cursed his cousins. He would be forever spiteful how they wronged him, as he considered himself the greatest warrior the Seven Kingdoms had ever seen. He proclaimed himself “The Sword of the Evening” as his grandfather Darkstar had done before him.

## Family

His family consists of five members. His mother who he admires greatly and is his #1 advisor. His sister Allyria who is a Lady in Waiting to Queen Myrcella. His brother Arthur, who is his master-at-arms, and the second best fighter in High Hermitage. And his sister Dyanna.
