Alyn Wode

## Lord Alyn Wode

**Alyn Wode** is a Lord of the Riverlands, Alyn is a tall man with brunette hair and clean shaven face, and serves as Lord of House Wode

He is dressed in a grey cloak and white tunic adorned with the sigil of his house on its back, a hedgehog.

## Biography

### Background

As the eldest son of House Wode Alyn was afforded a great education both in life at court, matters of finance and governance and the way of the sword.

After the passing of his father Alyn took over as the head of his house and as such he hopes to continue his families legacy as loyal knights and lords of the Riverlands.

### 400 - 404 AC

Alyn commissioned his younger brother Robert Wode to construct the castle of Hedgeguard, the seat of House Wode.

In 404 AC House Targaryen started a rebellion against King Robin Arryn. Alyn and the rest of the Riverlords would fight for King Robin.

In 407 AC Lord Alyn Wode declared for the position of Lord Paramount of the Riverlands and through support from several houses such as House Blackwood, House Mallister and House Mooton alongside notable persons were able to secure the positions from its former holders, House Tully.

In 408 AC, Lord Alyn Wode abdicated from his position as Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, choosing to pass it on to his younger brother Robert Wode. The Nobility of the Riverlands, having grown accustomed to Wode reign quickly welcomed this and declared him their new regional ruler.

Parallel Aotearoa

**Parallel Aotearoa** is a bookstore and coffee shop based on Karangahape Road in Tāmaki Makaurau. It was founded by Luna Lee and Jess in 2023. Parallel focuses on speculative literature, science-fiction, comics and zines - with an impetus on creating a safe, welcoming, and uplifting space for LGBTQIA+ / Queer, neurodivergent, Indigenous, disabled, and Aotearoa New Zealand voices.

From their website:

> *Unlike other bookstores, we’re not just about the books. Because it’s the people that make books great—the creatives and authors, the fans, and readers. We champion the voices of underdogs, innovators, and gamechangers. We uplift LGBTQIA+ / Queer, neurodivergent, Indigenous, disabled, and Aotearoa New Zealand voices that have too long gone unnoticed and unheard. And we create spaces where outsiders, in-betweeners, and people of all kinds can feel comfortable and safe to explore, discover, and play. From our physical store, coffee house, and in-person events and hui (gatherings) to our online memberships and communities—we mahi (work) to make sure that the spaces where we connect as a community are safe, inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for all. Whether you’re totally new to speculative literature—or deeply entrenched in a niche fandom—we can help you discover new worlds, new voices, and new ideas. And find wonder, hope, joy, and connection.*
