Arlen Dayne

Ser **Arlen Dayne**, is the second born and eldest son of Vorian Dayne and Aryanna Targaryen of Starfall and twin brother of Lady Dyanna Dayne. He is a knight of House Dayne and the Sword of the Morning, being the wielder of the longsword Dawn from the age of fifteen.

## Appearance and Character

Arlen is tall, broad-shouldered and powerful in appearance, with purple eyes and short-cut blonde hair. He is very charismatic and commanding. During his peaceful moments, he wears a white tunic with cream coloured trousers and black boots all with a beautiful lightweight patriarch purple cloak, trying to keep everything light due to the Dornish sun. The belt that comes with Arlen’s sword is also used with his everyday outfits, even when he isn’t wearing the weapon on his side, the two loops that the sword hangs from still being present just under his right hip. When in other parts of Westeros, Arlen wears much the same, the materials being different to counter the temperature of the area he is in. Arlen does not wear much jewellery, though he does wear a silver falling star pin that keeps his cloak pinned to his clothing, and a singular ring on his left middle finger made of silver with a moonstone gem that some say glows with the light of stars. Everyone who meets Arlen says he looks like the Conqueror reborn, though without the true Valyrian silver-gold hair.

Arlen looks content but guarded, and is considered sullen and quick to sense a slight. Due to having been raised in a castle and trained by a master-at-arms, Arlen is seen by some lower-born members of the Night's Watch as arrogant at first, though this changes when they become more friendly towards one another, as Jon is reminded of his nonetheless privileged background and decides to pass on his knowledge to them. Jon is observant, a trait he developed on account of being a bastard. He is a capable horseback rider and is well practiced in fighting with a sword. Jon has resented his bastard status most of the time. He desires to be viewed as honourable and wants to prove he can be as good and true as his half-brother, Robb. Jon dreamed he would one day lead men to glory, or even become a conqueror, as a child. He feels strongly about not fathering a bastard himself.

Arlen's eyes are Valyrian purple like his mother's, though in certain lights they look violet, which caused his father to pause the first time he saw them, as his sister, the late Lady Ashara Dayne had "haunting violet eyes" and all those who knew her see the lady reborn in her nephew.

## Abilities and Tools

* Valyrian Abilities
* Special Weaponry
* Additional Items

* **Dragon Rider**: Like many of Valyrian descent, Arlen is able to bond to and ride a dragon. His own dragon, a gargantuan purple beast named Vorigar is said to be the Black Dread reborn, though he seems to be far older than Balerion and is far larger than he grew to be.
* **Dragon Dreams**: Like a handful of other Valyrians

- **Dawn**: Ancestral longsword of House Dayne made from a fallen star. It is passed down to worthy Daynes instead of to each Lord of Starfall. Arlen wished to use it similarly to his deceased uncle Ser Arthur and though many have told him he has surpassed his legendary uncle, Arlen still feels he has not even come close. Arlen returned the blade to Starfall when he took Blackfyre from Daemon Blackfyre where it will sit until a knight of House Dayne is deemed worthy once more.

- **Dagger**:

- **Dayne Armour**: Shining silver coloured armour complete with a purple tabard with the silver Dayne sigil embroidered upon it. Arlen wore this during his time as the Sword of the Morning.
