Maric Mertyns

## Appearance

Maric
is a good-looking man of average height. With a stark stare, his dull blue eyes
seem to scan every little movement and detail, often narrowed in intense
concentration. He keeps his black hair longer and his build is an athletic one,
shaped by the wilderness and harsh conditions of the Wall and the lands beyond
it.

## History

Born the fourth son of Lord Mertyns, he was raised and
taught well at Mistwood but never truly felt he fit in. More sons also meant
more mouths to feed, a fact Maric never was comfortable with. When he was old
enough, his father sent him to Gallowsgrey to squire for House Trant. A passionate
and bold young man, he could often be found hunting or flirting with any
attractive girls at court.

As the fourth born son, he had little chance to lead his
house and found himself growing frustrated with his lack of a real place within
it. Constantly overshadowed by the rest of his family, Maric’s father suggested
he take a place at the wall and help defend the realm and at the age of eighteen,
Maric agreed and headed North to join the Night’s Watch. Before his departure,
he was knighted by his father.

When he arrived, he was a talented Knight but found out very
quickly that life at the Wall and beyond it, was quite harsh. After his
training, he was assigned to the Rangers and was hastily sent out beyond the
wall to learn how to endure with a band of brothers. Initially, it was
immensely hard for the young man and while he was a quick study, it took him
years to truly learn how to not just survive, but also thrive.

With a calm demeanor and a habit to laugh things off, few
took Maric very seriously until he proved his worth numerous times over dealing
with Wildlings. While capable with a sword, Maric showed just how deadly he was
with a bow in his hands, scoring a number of kills against various hostile
Wildlings. He can regularly be found mentoring younger sharpshooters in the
skill. His skill also came in handy hunting game and providing food while
ranging.

Thanks to some skilled mentors, he quickly turned from a
green boy into a veteran and the years passed by quicker than he could have
imagined and Instead of sitting at Nightsong growing fat and old, he was
keeping the realm safe. While it was no glamorous duty, it was one he suffered
well and he truly regards the majority of his peers as his brothers. Among the
Watch, he is known to be reliable and someone who dislikes open conflict and
arguments. He is also known to frequent Mole’s Town quite often.
Storm's End

**Storm's End** is the seat of House Baratheon, the Lords Paramount of the Stormlands. The castle is located at Durran's Point on the northern coast of Shipbreaker Bay, south of Bronzegate and northeast of Griffin's Roost. The kingsroad runs north from Storm's End to King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms

One of the strongest castles in the Seven Kingdoms, Storm's End was once the ancestral seat of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon extending back many thousands of years. The castle is said to be protected by spells woven into its very walls that prevent magic from affecting it or passing through it.

## Layout

Storm's End is surrounded by a massive outer curtain wall, one hundred feet high and forty feet thick on its thinnest side and nearly eighty feet thick on its seaward side. It is composed of a double course of stones with an inner core of sand and rubble. The wall is smooth and curving, the stones so well placed and so perfectly together that the wind can find no purchase. On the seaward side, there is a one hundred fifty foot drop below the wall into the sea.[4] There is no safe anchorage by the castle.

The castle itself consists of one huge drum tower crowned with formidable battlements, so that from a distance enemies can see what appears to be a single huge, spiked fist thrusting towards the sky in defiance. The tower is so large that it comfortably contains the granary, barracks, armory, feast hall, and lord's chambers all at once.[4] It is said that there are spells woven into the stonework. The seaward side of the castle stands upon a high white cliffs overlooking the sea, and there is a barred, watery passage through a cavern that leads beneath the castle.

The godswood of Storm's End has a weirwood heart tree carved with a solemn face.
Winterfell

**Winterfell** is the ancestral castle and seat of power of House Stark and is considered to be the capital of the North. It is located in the center of the northernmost province of the Seven Kingdoms, on the kingsroad that runs from Storm's End to the Wall. It is situated at the eastern edge of the wolfswood, north of the western branch of the White Knife and Castle Cerwyn. Winterfell is south of the northern mountains and southwest of Long Lake, one hundred leagues (three hundred miles) southeast of Deepwood Motte.

## Layout

Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres and protected by two massive walls. There is a village just outside, the winter town. Winterfell has been built around an ancient godswood and over natural hot springs. The water is piped through walls and chambers to heat them, making Winterfell more comfortable than other castles during the harsh northern winters.

Inside the walls, the complex is composed of dozens of courtyards and small open spaces. Weapons training and practice take place in those yards. The inner ward is a second, much older open space in the castle where archery practice takes place. It is located next to the broken tower. Inside Winterfell stands the inner castle, which contains the Great Keep and the Great Hall.
Tales of the Bonfire Wikia

## **Ambertales**

   *"So, there I was...at the mercy of three monstrous trolls... and they're arguing...arguing about how they were going to cook us! Whether it be turned on a spit or whether they were going to sit on us one by one and squash us all into jelly! Oh but they spent so much time arguing over the whether-to's and the why-for's that the sun's first light crept over the top of the trees... and poof... turned them all to stone!*
Bilbo Baggins, at his 111th birthday, retelling the story about the trolls.

Since forever people gather at a fire to tell stories. Some are about the fish that was sooooo big.... But some... some are stories about the mighty warriors who slew the dragon, about the mages apprentice who became the most famous wizard or about the cunning rogue who stole the crown and the heart of the kings daughter. But are they just stories? This is the place where those stories come from, where heroes gather to accomplish legendary tasks, heading for the unknown together. This is where their journey starts.

This wiki is dedicated to the Guild "**The Amberheart**". Become part of it, and thus make the first step to enter these legends together.

## **This wiki**

This wiki is the wiki of the roleplaying section of the guild "The Amberheart" on the WoW EU-Server Argent Dawn.

## **Concept**

The concept of the guild "The Amberheart" is that of an order of adventurers, explorers and do-gooders. Unbeknown to the public this secret group heads out to make the world a better place: Slowly they have begun to make their names known and some of the biggest Heroes of the world (LVL 80+) count towards their ranks. Although... being such is in no way a precondition to join! Rather it is the willingness to make this world a better place, the attitude not to leave a stone unturned, and the ability to recognize when help is needed. So there are also younger heroes, the next generation, welcomed all the time that share this attitude. Often, but not always, after being tested for a longer time, though unbeknown to them.

## **Storytelling and Shared Roleplaying**

1. **Storytelling and RP Events**: Once we grow big enough we plan on doing big events and storylines too, yet we also encourage to come up with your own storylines and play them with each other.
2. **Character driven RP**: We encourage your characters to grow, change and generally consider it a good idea to take up little gems in your background story to make a storyline or something else of it.
3. **Social RP:** Well... the tavern... what an RP guild would we be if this was not in our portfolio hunh?
4. **Questing/RP:** Blizzard provides a ton of stories, and how could we leave this potential to rot? Since 7.3.5 questing is fun again, so why not do it together (of course while RPing our characters?)

The Darkglass Plot

The Darkglass Plot was an attempted scheme, led by Baelor Sunglass, to better King Aelyx Targaryen's chances when he landed in force. It was discovered, and all involved parties, with the exception of Baelor, were executed. Notable casualties on the Baratheon side include Wyman Webber, the son of Lord Ryam Webber the Master of Whisperers, and husband to Lyra Caron.

## Introduction

As a prelude to the Third Targaryen Invasion, several Targaryen-owned spy rings travelled across the Narrow Sea to establish support and supply chains. The plot was spearheaded by Baelor Sunglass, in place of Imry Toyne.

## Overview

There were three chapters established by the foreign invaders, as well as seven different travelling groups to provide an overview of the happenings within the Seven Kingdoms at any one time. Baelor would send word fortnightly across the Narrow Sea to Toyne, who in turn would feed that back to the relevant reigning king in exile.

### Conspiring Parties

* Darkglass HQ, led by Baelor Sunglass, Duskendale
* King's Landing Chapter, led by Hazzan mo Karak
* Storm's End Chapter, led by Kiera 'Catspaw'
* Harrenhal Chapter, led by Ser Denys Darkwood
* Several travelling spy rings
The Harrying of the Dragonspawn

Following the initial devastation of the defending Royal Baratheon forces outside King's Landing by Maekar Targaryen, the arrival of Alyn Baratheon with a force of Stormlander knights turned the tide of the battle.

Maekar was fully and completely surrounded, with no hope of escape.  He made one last desperate push to punch a hole in the Crown’s army, when Maekar rallied his men to punch through the Stormlander lines Alyn Baratheon spots the Targaryens gambit. Alyn hurriedly rallies the men of his bodyguard and what knights he could spare and rushes headlong into the Targaryen’s path. With a great roar of defiance Maekar Targaryen raised his sword and pointed it at the stag lord. “A Lordship to whomever brings down that damned stag’s head!” Maekar and his men desperately threw themselves at Alyn and his men, cutting down many. Maekar had almost cut his way through when he came upon Alyn Baratheon. The Lord of Storm’s End was covered in blood and had a minor wound to his side. With only one antler remaining on his Lordly helm Alyn Baratheon looked spent and Maekar thought the Dragon would have an easy time ending the Stag’s life. However Alyn was a Baratheon and Baratheons didn’t go down that easily. Lesser men would’ve fallen beneath Maekar’s blade, not the line that had given Westeros warriors such as Orys and Robert Baratheon. Alyn summoned the rest of his strength and with a great howl of fury he spurred his destrier and threw himself at the Targaryen. Their battle was fierce and long and they both took multiple wounds from each other. In the end, however, Maekar’s sword got stuck in Alyn’s shield and Alyn, summoning his remaining strength brought his warhammer down and spiked the Targaryen where neck and shoulder met. The spike of his warhammer punched through the Targaryen’s plate armor mortally wounding Maekar. Maekar fought on to his last breath and was killed when Alyn brought the hammer down and smashed his helm. Maekar Targaryen fell from his horse, dead. Seeing their leader fall, Maekar’s men broke or surrendered.  Those foolish enough to run north were brutally run down, with no mercy given by the now combined armies of the Stormlands, Crownlands, and Westerlands. The slaughter later became known as the ‘Harrying of the Dragonspawn’.

Following the Battle of King’s Landing, the remaining Crown forces consolidated their strength and took stock of their men.  Lord Alyn and the newly knighted Prince Beron Baratheon, along with Lord Lyonel Lannister brought their strength together and prepared to march north to Maidenpool with a massive army at their backs.

At the same time, the combined army of the Riverlands, the Frostborn, and the Vale, slowly rout Aelyx’s forces from the Riverlands and march his army back towards Maidenpool. He attempts to return to Riverrun, but finds that Waltyr Tully has barred his gates and taken up cause with the rebels. Sacking the castle would waste precious time, to Aelyx ignobly retreats from the Riverlands, vowing to one day repay all those who betrayed him.
The Thenn

## Overview

The Thenn consider themselves the last of the First Men. They speak the Old Tongue and most have only a few words of the Common Tongue. They are led by the Magnar, who is considered more a god than a man by his people. Because they have laws and lords in their valley, some consider the Thenns more sophisticated than other free folk and closer to the people south of the Wall. They have more dealings with giants than other men.

The Thenns are savage fighters, but because of their belief in the Magnar as their god they are absolutely obedient and more disciplined than other free folk. They are often better equipped than most free folk, with bronze helms, axes of bronze and a few of chipped stone, short stabbing spears with leaf-shaped heads, shirts sewn with bronze discs, and plain unadorned shields of black boiled leather with bronze rims and bosses.

## Recent Events

In a duel at Hardhome, Rogar Longshanks bested the Magnar of the Thenn. The Thenn have since sworn loyalty to Rogar Longshanks and accept his claim as King-Beyond-the-Wall.

Stannis I Baratheon

## Lord of the Seven Kingdoms

### Titles

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

## Family Information

### Heir

Princess Shireen BaratheonKing Selwyn I Baratheon

### Children

Princess Shireen BaratheonKing Selwyn I Baratheon

### Relatives

King Robert I Baratheon, Lord Renly Baratheon (brothers)

**Stannis Baratheon,** the Iron Stag, was the head of House Baratheon of Dragonstone, the Lord of Dragonstone and after the War of the Three Stags, the King of Westeros.

He was the elder of King Robert I Baratheon's two younger brothers, the youngest being Lord Renly Baratheon. Stannis also served on Robert's small council as Master of Ships. His parents were Steffon Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, and Lady Cassana Estermont.

As King of Westeros, he was involved in defending the realm from the First Targaryen Rebellion.

## Appearance and Character

Like his brothers, Robert and Renly, Stannis was a large man - tall, broad shouldered and sinewy. Stannis had dark blue eyes and a heavy brow. His head had only a fringe of black hair "like the shadow of a crown," and he had a close-cropped beard across his large jaw. His face had a tightness to it like cured leather, and had hollow cheeks, and thin, pale lips. In battle, he wore grey plate armor.

Stannis was a serious, stubborn, rarely-forgiving, hard man with a strong sense of duty and justice. He ground his teeth regularly. He was an accomplished commander, sailor, and warrior, with no thirst for battle, commanding from the rear. He had never had the affection of nobles or smallfolk alike. In his adult life, he was increasingly embittered by the lack of affection he receives from Robert, even though he served Robert as well as he can.

Stannis was not a man for easy courtesies, and had always been uncomfortable around women, even his own wife, Lady Selyse of House Florent. During the years he served on the small council in King's Landing, he left his wife on Dragonstone. He wrote to her, but only occasionally. His visits were even fewer, and he did his duty in the marriage bed only once or twice a year, but took no joy in it.

## Recent History

During his time upon the throne, King Stannis I Baratheon created the Iron Order to help maintain order throughout his kingdoms.
Xaro Hotah

Xaro is a former Slave Solder from Norvos, after escaping the Bearded Priests' Holy Guard, he joined the forces of Maekar Targaryen and Aelyx Targaryen taking part in The Third Targaryen Rebellion; he was taken prisoner by Stannis Selmy who forgave his life after understanding he had come seeking for a new life in exchange Xaro vowed loyalty to House Selmy.
Septon Yohn

## Holy Legate to the Iron Islands

Septon Yohn is a Septon of the Faith of the Seven, and the current Holy Legate to the Iron Islands...Chances of his survival are bleak.

## History

Septon Yohn has always been known as a man of few words, but many barks. A quiet and introverted man, he rarely speaks to others...More because he just doesn't want to. Multiple times he has been reprimanded for assaulting another Septon during a heated debate, or yelling at the Faithful for making some small mistake, even by accident.

Never known to dress in flashy garments, Yohn, a Hedge Knight before becoming a Septon, is often mistaken for a layman. Nevertheless he is a rabid dog when it comes to defending the Faith, and has knocked out quite a few teeth in its defense.

He has also been censured for extortion, as there was at one point laid against him charges of forcing tithes from the folk by means of violent threat.

Some have wondered whether he was assigned as Legate to the Iron Islands as punishment, or because he was the only Septon who might be able to do the job...

...Maybe it was a bit of both.
Tyran Westerling

## Biography

Tyran Westerling was the thirdborn son of the second son of The Crag. Born in 343 AC, he was a strapping young lad with much promise. He was never destined for the leadership of the house and knew it from a young age, still he learned a cursory education where the only major subject that he cared for was the engineering of the great castles of Westeros and how he could take them on. He was still close with his cousins and did many things together. Training in the yard was one of them, where his strength and prowess with a hammer were noted.

He grew older and eventually earned his spurs at the age of seven and ten, though he would only only fight when necessary or when he was out hunting with his brothers. He always returned with a stag or a boar, or with enough rabbits or squirrels to equate to a stag or boar.

His real talent would come in the smithy of The Crag, where Orsen, the smith, took him under his wing as an apprentice. Tyran's strength and skill with a hammer made him a natural blacksmith. He refined his craft and eventually took over for Orsen after his death in 378. He would serve for years until the Third Targaryen Rebellion, when his cousin, now Lord of The Crag, began his harrying raids on Aelyx Targaryen's forces from the Whispering Wood. Tyran would join him, having crafted all the arms and armor that the men were using himself. They would join up with the Frostborn and from there Tyran learned of the wildling attack in the North. Surprised for the actual reason that Lord Stark was not aiding the rest of the country, Tyran was touched by his actions.

After the conclusion of the war, Tyran left the service of his cousin and made his way to Castle Black with three other knights of House Westerling. While they were put into the Rangers, he was placed in the stewards and quickly served to function as the blacksmith for Castle Black. His knowledge in engineering also forces him to work with the Builders on occasion, though that is only when they are in dire need of help and call for the aid of the aging Westerman.

Now the Lord Commander has perished and the brothers of the Night's Watch gather once again to elect a new Lord Commander. Tyran's hammer continues to sound in the smithy as his brothers jockey for the position.

Selmond Stackspear

## Lord of Stackspear

Selmond Stackspear is the Lord of Stackspear, an animal loving, insular man who is strongly passionate about his personal goals. His arms are the traditional sigil of his house, two black spears crossed over a gold and white checked field.

Stackspear is a small keep in the Westerlands, with control over the surrounding region. The land is mostly agricultural and has no notable characteristics. House Stackspear are sworn bannermen to the Lannisters of Casterly Rock, and can field a small force of a few hundred levies. The house, whilst not impoverished, has no particular wealth, especially when compared to the surrounding Westerlands.

## Biography

Blonde, tall, and with a strikingly angular face, Lord Selmond seems at first glance to be built for lordship in the Westerlands. Yet buried inside is a peculiar vacancy, perhaps a sign of malcontent with his position at Stackspear, where he spends more time with his hounds and horses, or on the hunt with his close-knit group of friends.

Selmond was born as the eldest of the three sons of Lord Steffon Stackspear and his wife, Myra, in the year 369 AC. The couple passed away when he was sixteen, of a particularly vicious fever that had spread through Castle Stackspear. His brothers, Tytos and Stevron, have been delegated the day-to-day running of his keep and lands, whilst Selmond focuses on more personal goals. Tension is high between the brothers but their uncle, Harras, maintains a role as a peacekeeper and often diffuses situations before they can get out of hand.

Selmond seeks to branch out, leaving his humble hold of Stackspear to travel the realm.

Septon Malon

## Shepherd of the East

Septon Malon is a Septon of the Faith of the Seven, he serves in some position similar to Legate, though to what extent it is unclear.

## History

It's been rumoured that when the Andals first came and crossed the Narrow Sea to Westeros...Septon Malon was there. It was claimed that when Aegon came and was crowned at Oldtown...Malon was there.

So it went with many storied events, always with Malon being there....For the man was ancient among any standards, said to be blessed with the vitality of the Warrior and Smith Themselves for how long he has lived.

A quiet and intellectual man, those who had relatives or friends who had become Septons might remember the stories of Malon during his long and lengthy stints as a teacher and instructor for those being prepared to take their vows.

Then again, Malon has seemed to have done everything in his life. From teaching, to missionary work, to studying at the Citadel and spending time at the Wall...Malon has done it all.

Firm in the Faith and its defense, Malon has nevertheless been passed over every single time for a spot on the Most Devout, and though he has recently been given the title of Shepherd of the East, he still has not been given a seat on that prestigious group.

Still more fit, active, and sharp than most men thirty years his junior, age has nevertheless weighed on Malon. He rarely leaves his chair during a service, and when he does he can be seen to be bent heavy with age...Nevertheless his steps were still strong, showing the inner strength he had within him and would carry with him 'till the day he died.
Septon Vayon

## Holy Legate to the Riverlands

Septon Vayon is a Septon of the Faith of the Seven, and the current Holy Legate to the Riverlands.

## History

Septon Vayon was never one to be listed amongst the great thinkers or teachers of the day. Indeed, he could barely grasp the concepts of the Faith and the Seven.

Yet Vayon did have two great talents...And that was his passion for the Faith, and his love of the people. He would spend nearly fifteen hours a day ministering to the needs of the Smallfolk, often sacrificing what little sleep he had to go to stay by the bed of a sick or ailing commoner.

Thus it was that Vayon became very popular amongst the folk, acting as a sort of grandfather to them all. It was this popularity that won him a seat on the Most Devout.

Vayon never made waves, but has always been liked and respected by his fellow Septons. In recent years it's been seen that his mind has been going, leading to outbursts of anger now and then.

It's been rumoured that Septon Vayon will be given the position of Legate to one of the poorer, more needy kingdoms to service their Smallfolk.
Fluksbestia

**Fluksbestia** - ogromne stworzenie zamieszkujące Usta.

## Historia

Fluksbestia zamieszkała pod zamkiem jeszcze jako dziecko, kiedy rządziły nim elfy. Była ona niezauważona do czasu aż Kreshch nie przejął zamku. Była ona wtedy już dorosła. Szybko wywiercono nad jej jaskinią dziurę, aby ją karmić. Przydzielono jej dwóch strażników.

## Opis

Fluksbestia to ogromna, wysoka na 10-metrów istota podobna do człowieka. Jest ona jednak pokryta szarym futrem, zaś jej głowa podobna jest do głowy wilka. Tak naprawdę posiada dwie głowy, z czego każda posiada inną osobowość i może kontrolować ciało dowolnie. Każda z głów Fluksbestii posiada inteligencję na poziomie nieco mniej niż ludzkim, a charaktery obu mogą być określone jako żarłoczne, pożądliwe oraz głodne pieszczot, również erotycznych oraz jedzenia. Fluksbestia z lubością pożera praktycznie wszystko, lecz najbardziej kocha połykanie ofiar w całości i czucie jak wiją się w jej przełyku tylko po to by wylądować w jej żołądku. Jej układ pokarmowy jest bardzo wytrzymały i może przetrawić nawet substancje takie jak stal, szkło, drewno i zgniłe mięso. Jej opiekunami są Giubi z którym to wykształciła specyficzną więź którą można określić jako miłość, oraz Wayne Kaspar którego często poniża dla swojej perwersyjnej przyjemności.

Vorian "Ironstar"

## Knight of the Iron Order

Vorian Dayne is the third and last child of Marq "Morningstar" Dayne.

## History

Vorian was born in 355 AC. Able-bodied and fit where his older brother was fat and unhealthy, Vorian Dayne in many ways is the complete opposite of his brother Duncan. Where Duncan is usually jovial, Vorian is short-tempered and severe, where Duncan nurses wounds, Vorian often forgets an insult as soon as he has fought the offender. While Duncan grew up with the Yronwoods, Vorian was raised closer to home, in High Hermitage, the seat of a cadet branch of House Dayne, to which his mother belonged. Growing up, Vorian had two great loves, jousting, and the stories of Gerold “Darkstar”, his maternal grandfather. When old enough, he began to accompany Duncan on his many journeys, and while Duncan ate and studied the castles, Vorian jousted against every knight he could come across.

After a particularly spectacular performance at a small tourney in the Crownlands, Vorian was approached by Stannis Baratheon, Commander of the Iron Order, and asked to join the Iron Order. Vorian accepted, and became known as “Ironstar” thereafter.
Septon Xi

## Holy Legate to the North

Septon Xi is a Yi Ti'ish Septon of the Faith of the Seven. Recently made the Septon of the Snowy Sept in White Harbour, it is rumoured he has been granted the title of Holy Legate for the North.

## History

Septon Xi is perhaps the most respected scholar in the Faith of the Seven in recent memory. If Septon Larence has a golden hand and mind, Septon Xi has a golden quill.

Though only eight years old at the time of the Great Schism, Xi managed to pen one of the great works against them, *On the Seven Persons*.

Known as a stringent defender of the Faith, he has written over two hundred works at this point of varying degrees and lengths, and has served as the Head of the Most Devout since his elevation to it during his twenty-fifth year.

Unfortunately Xi's rigid views and defense of the Faith led to a fallout with a few of the more liberal members of the Most Devout, who arranged his assignment to the Snowy Sept, often seen as a death knell for the career of any Septon sent there.

Xi has made the most of his position though, and has tried to bring some vibrancy to the North. An extrovert at heart, he is as fond of attending respectable gatherings and writing poetry as he is great theological works...He is already being called 'The Blessed' by some.
The Silver Guild

The Silver Guild is a sellsword company based in Essos.

Attempting to capitalise on the renown of the Golden Company, the Silver Guild was formed as a cheaper alternative to the extortionate prices often demanded by the highly famed organisation. Whilst some contracts have been obtained, the company remains very much inferior to the company of its inspiration, largely due to the perception that they, much like silver itself, are an undesirable substitute for gold.

Despite this, the Silver Guild carries many of the same rules as the Golden Company, and as such is yet to break a contract.

The Captains of the company wear a number of silver rings, akin to the gold bands wore by their equivalents in the Golden Company.
The Dungeons of the Red Keep

The Dungeons of the Red Keep serve many functions, though primarily the holding of prisoners, both high and lowborn, as well as the acquisition of information through violent and unsavoury means.

It is currently resided over by Aegon Longwaters, whom also serves as King's Justice.

## Layout

#### The Traitor's Walk

The squat half-round tower that contains the entrances to the dungeons and rooms for the King's Justice, the Chief Gaoler and the Lord Confessor.

#### The First Level

The cells found on the upper-most level have high narrow windows where common criminals are confined together.

#### The Second Level

The cells found here are smaller and without windows, but hold only one prisoner each, most usually highborn captives. The light comes from torches that cast light through the bars.

#### The Third Level

The 'Black Cells', as they are commonly known, are smaller still than those of the floor above, and have doors of solid wood so that no light enters them. They are reserved for the most vile and dangerous prisoners.

#### The Lower Levels

It is supposedly best to only visit the fourth level of the dungeons in the dark, for the tortures and other unimaginable horrors that take place within them are not for mortal eyes to witness.

Tanselle of Pennytree

## Lady of the Crossing

**Tansel**l**e of Pennytree** was the youngest daughter of Ser Galbart of Pennytree, a hedge knight who had managed to climb the ranks of the household guard of House Frey, eventually becoming its commander. Her father and other family members were tragically executed by Vernon Frey on his sixteenth nameday, when he seemingly discovered a plot by Ser Galbart to murder him. Only Tanselle was spared, but only because Vernon forced her into marriage with him, to be abused in every way possible for the sins of her father. Her two children, Matthos and Jeyne, were supposedly produce of rape. She was referred to as *the Weeping Lady*, since she was always seen crying or depressed, despite ironically having received a position of higher nobility from her husband.

She died in the year 389, having leaped off one of the towers at the Twins, finally succumbing to the extreme punishment laid upon her by Vernon.
The Smiths

**The Smiths** were a group of Faith of the Seven fanatics, who were at their strongest during The Great Schism. They took their name from one of the aspects of the Seven, the Smith, after a man calling himself this aspect's avatar showed up and began preaching a new kind of religious view based on the Smith. The Smiths were known for their gifts in music, as many of them were self-professed minstrels.

The Sealstone Tribe

The Sealstone Tribe is a small-sized Wildling Tribe that now roams between the eastern edge of the Haunted Forest and Storrold's Point. They were much larger during the rise of Mamon Longshanks, and inhabited a large area along the Bay of Seals, but their power has waned of late.

## Recent Events

After the death of Mamon Longshanks, Chieftain Waterwalker led his tribe's surviving warriors back to their home along the Bay of Seals. For a while they returned to their ways before the King-Beyond-the-Wall, but the Night's Watch took an active interest in driving them back from the bay once Rickard Locke took command of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.

Under Locke's leadership, the Sealstone's suffered loss after loss and were slowly pushed away from the shore. This came to a head when Chieftain Waterwalker was slain by Commander Locke during a daring assault by the men of the Night's Watch.

The tribe has since retreated into the Haunted Forest, but is yet to properly settle again. They hold Locke in a place of special resentment, and have already thrown their lot in with Rogar Longshanks.

## Family Information

### Relatives

Prince Stannis BaratheonShiera Baratheon

Shyara Baratheon

Serra Baratheon

Selmond Baratheon

Shae Baratheon

Simon Baratheon

Sansa Baratheon

## Appearance and Character

Selwyn is a tall lad for his age. He stands at a staggering 5'9" and has the quintessential Baratheon colouring of black hair and blue eyes. He has a lanky build, but broad chest and shoulders, and narrow waist. He has a goofy grin.

## Biography

Selwyn Baratheon was born in 384AC to Prince Stannis Baratheon and Lady Shiera Baratheon nee Tyrell. He is the firstborn of Stannis' "army" and has spent his recent life in King's Landing and Ironhold. He is a family centered young man, and like his father the Grand Marshal, he cares more about the smallfolk than politics and other ambitions.

Selwyn is a squire for his father like his cousin Lucas Tyrell who he has a friendly rivalry with. He dreams of following in his father's footsteps and  being knighted so he can serve the Iron Order like his father. Like many boys his age, he can't wait to grow up, but he still has a ways to go.

He spends his days in the training yard with Ser Andrew who tells him he will someday be a talented duelist. He is skilled with the sword and shield but has not taken to other weapons as well. His aim with the bow is mediocre, but he shows promise with polearms, usually when astride the horse. What sets him apart from other squires is his skill in acrobatics, an odd talent he developed from the great deal of time he's spent tumbling around and climbing trees as a youth.

## Recent Events

The Burnt Kraken

Placeholder for now.

The Burnt Kraken is Ullr Greyjoy's ship.

## History

The ship was commissioned by Halfthor Greyjoy to be given to Ullr Greyjoy.

Construction began in late 387 AC so that it could be given over to Ullr before his fourteenth nameday.

The ship's first journey was to Essos where Ullr would begin his raiding.

During the fourth moon of 398 AC the Iron Fleet was burned. During the fires, the Burnt Kraken was damaged to becoming inoperable.

It has been restored to nearly full functionality.
The Pride

The Pride is a ship currently owned by Jon Barrowstark and The Howlers, a band of three warriors following Jon.

## Structure

The Pride is a single-masted vessels, clinker-built with steep sides and a flat bottom.

Its flat bottoms allows it to settle flat in harbour, making it easier to load and unload. The Prides high sides make it more difficult to board in a seafight, which has made it safer from pirates.[4]

The Pride is also used as a military transport, fitted with towers fore and aft.

## History

The Pride was built in Meereen for a gambling man who had made his money in goods transporting. On the night of its completion, the gambling man wagered his ship against all of Gryff Greyscales Belongings in a game of Cyvasse. Gryff won and became the first captain of The Pride to take it out to open waters.

During one of Gryffs journeys to Westeros a man, hooded and shrouded in shadows, approached the captain and offered him gold to spirit someone away from this land. That person was an infant know as Jon Barrowstark. Unknown to Gryff at the time but that cloaked figure would never be seen again.

The Pride was pursued by a longship as it made way for Rain’s House. Gryff, the Captain, was warned that the course they’d set took them too close to the Stepstones, that it was better to go around than through, but Gryff refused to alter it.

The ships gave chase for two days before the wind conspired against the Pride, and in the night, with only the stars above to light the deck, they were boarded by a party led by a man named Cadwyl. The crew of the Pride fought, yet in the end, their efforts, their murders, were in vain.

It took half a dozen of Cadwyl’s own men to end Gryff Greyscale. Men died in droves, and when it was done, when the deck was silent, Jon watched Cadwyl to the exclusion of all else.

The journey back to their hold took four days, at a more leisurely pace. Jon listened to the noises upon the deck, to the things whispered and the jokes shared, to the laughs and the wagers made. He learned their names, these men of Cadwyl’s crew, and burned them into his memory. One day He’d seek them out.

The Pride was then not seen again for a few years.

Jon found the Pride berthed on a beachhead nearby to where he escaped from. A spoil Cadwyl must have had held onto. He and his group took it.

Once again for many years, The Pride was rumoured to have been seen raiding and plundering coastal villages in Essos from time to time but never was it sighted properly, its Captain, Jon, was rumoured to have been fighting on the frontlines of these raids and leading the plundering.

Recently the Pride was seen ambling toward the North.
Second Sons

The **Second Sons** are a sellsword company found in the Free Cities. Their banner is a broken sword and they take commands only from their captain.

The Second Sons are not as well equipped as the Golden Company. While on campaign their camp is a circle of ragged tents, including a cook tent.

## History

The Second Sons are amongst the oldest of the free companies. They do not enjoy the shining reputation of the Golden Company, but they have won some famous victories. Four hundred years ago the Second Sons stood in defense of Qohor along with the Bright Banners company against the first Dothraki *khalasar* to venture east since the Doom of Valyria. However, they suffered a defeat and fled the battlefield, though the battle was later won by the Three Thousand of Qohor.

The names of every man to serve with the Second Sons is written in a leather-bound book, as well as when they joined, where they fought, how long they served, and the manner of their deaths. A tradition of the company is to sign in red ink. There was a time when each new man wrote his name in his own blood, but that tradition faded as blood makes poor ink. Famous past members include:

* Harwyn Hoare, Harwyn Hardhand, the first King of the Isles and the Rivers.
* Aegor Rivers, "Bittersteel", who served a year with the Second Sons before he left to found the Golden Company.
* Prince Aerion the Monstrous, the Bright Prince, also known as *Brightflame*.
* Rodrik Stark, the Wandering Wolf.
* Prince Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne who served for a year.
* The Tattered Prince, who also rode with the Iron Shields and the Maiden's Men, before founding the Windblown
* Otto Blackflower, bastard cousin of the Lord of Oldtown, his rival.

## Recent History

The Second Sons were amongst the sellsword companies that fought for Aelyx Targaryen during the Third Targaryen Rebellion. During this period they were commanded by Otto Blackflower, the Bastard of Oldtown, before he was slain in battle by Loras Longhammer.
Sunset Scourge

## Summary

The *Sunset Scourge* is the Warship captained by Sylas Farwynd, and harboured at the Lonely Light. It has a crew of 75-80 men, but can hold up to 150 men at maximum capacity.

## History

The *Sunset Scourge* was made in the year 330 by Lord Urrathon Farwynd, to honour the birth of his son Maron. When Maron came of age, the ship was his to command.

Maron later built himself a warship, the *Flamesail*, and entrusted command of the *Sunset Scourge* to his youngest son, Sylas. Both Urrathon and Urragon had turned down the offer of taking it, as they had ships of their own, and so the 16-year-old Sylas took it for himself.

Two years later, the crew of the *Sunset Scourge* would find themselves victorious in the Kraken's Quell, in 388 AC. The ship and the crew later saw action in the Third Targaryen Rebellion, fighting mainly in the Riverlands and raiding Targaryen-allied Essosi ships.
The Tourney of Lannisport

**The Tourney of Lannisport** was an event hosted at Lannisport by House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Lord Lyonel Lannister ordered the event due to the recent downfall in Lannisport profits, and to bring all of the Lords of the West to the city to spend their gold. Of course, no one knew his true intentions as it was marketed as a celebratory tourney of peace.

## Melee

The melee ended with Tygett Lannister in first place, Leo Lannister of Castamere in second place, and Gerion Lefford in third place. Honorable mentions include XXX and XXX for valiant efforts, facing multiple enemies at the same time, fighting back to back and ultimately turning their swords on each other.

## Joust

The Joust ended similarly to the melee with Tygett Lannister in first place, Tyland Lannister of Castamere in second place, and XXX in third place. Honorable mentions include XXX and XXX for suffering through a rather long joust after they could not demount each other. After about 15 rounds, XXX came out on top, but lost in his next joust.

## Ending Feast

The feast was a large feast, held in the halls of Lannisport. The night was full of accusations of rigging as Tygett, the firstborn son of Lyonel, won both the melee and the joust. Lyonel brushed the insults off, however, and enjoyed his night. A brawl between Lewyn Crakehall and a Reachman (who was brave to be there in the first place) was broken up quickly, but not before the Reachman mysteriously suffered from several broken bones along with a broken nose.
Visenya Maegyr

## Appearance

Young and able, Visenya strongly resembles those of Old Valyria; long silver hair, pale as snow and purple eyes. With her face being the widest at the cheekbones, it makes Visenya stand out in the crowd. A fairly narrow nose and a semi full lip are too features that dot her face. She rarely smiles, thus almost no creases on her face, this helped preserve the smoothness of her skin. Being above average height, Visenya is often labelled as 'tall', and with her height comes her solid posture.
