House Wylde

House Wylde of Rainhouse is a noble House from the rainwoods in the Stormlands. Their seat is the Rainhouse, located on the very end of the rainwoods, and their sigil is a blue-green maelstrom, on a golden field. Their words are *Rain Falls on All*.

The House is currently ruled by Lord Alessander Wylde, Admiral of the South and an accomplished sailor.

## Characteristics

House Wylde has changed in the last few generations when it came to their way of life. Lords and Ladies of Rainhouse were honourable, austere and respectable, clinging onto traditions of their region, though somewhat open for new influences since their primary role as sailors and admirals. Everyone kept appearances, and tarnishing of any Wylde's name is a rare sight. Traditionally, should a lord have two sons, one is trained as the next heir to Rainhouse, and the other as an admiral of their fleet.

Yet, with Lord Cedric's marriage to a Lysene woman, which isn't a sight that uncommon among them, with one courtesan Visaerra even being a regent for her underage son, started a new influence among the Wyldes, but those strangers that came assimilated into the culture of the House they married into; Cedric's wife Rhaena did assimilate, but a subtle change of including one's wife into one's business did appear. With Cedric's heir Valerion, whose past as a pillow slave isn't a secret, that subtle change became drastic - despite marrying a Baratheon, Valerion founded the "Lysene court", indicating a bigger influx of Lysene influences on the traditionally patriarchal, Stormlander House.

The Wyldes still keep their appearances, but behind close doors, traditional roles are largely set aside. Keeping lovers is not an uncommon practice, both of opposite and same genders, spouses have more freedom in regards to who they take to their bed and how their marriage operates, so cases from the traditional types of marriage to an almost open ones do exist. Many Wyldes of the younger generation, especially children of Lord Valerion and his siblings, can speak Lysene beside the Common Tongue.

Physically, they changed too - though they still retain their features of chesnut hair and blue or green eyes, they have an eastern touch to them, softening the hard, Stormlander features. Their ways of dress, though varying from person to person, aren't as austere as before, despite the protests of older, more conservative members of the House. Even the traditional roles for younger and older brothers have shifted, especially with Lord Alessander and his brother Erryk, who switched them entirely.
