Orian Seronyth V

## Appearance and Character

Orian Seronyth is a youth of roughly average height, if not a tad below. Atop his head rests a mess of brown hair, with brown eyes to accompany. Having had little else to do but train and study, Orian has developed a fairly trained physique, in his mind, it is one of the few things his enemies cannot take from him, and so holds to it greatly. He does not like stories of maimed knights nor ones of great love between men and women or any gender for that.

Further so, through his time fighting in the War of Three Dragons, which was admittedly fairly short for he served as a squire for most of the start of it, coupled with his time as a knight after a large battle, Orian has found he has quite a skill for archery and riding, and has grown incredibly fond of both although he still sometimes uses his Zweihander.

Nowadays Orian is generally a rather reserved youth, whom does not oft smile while within the walls of the palace or the barracks, for the most part only drawing one on when he needs to for the Seronyth's sake. But that is not to say he is entirely unhappy, for even in his diminished rank and position, he has still been able to enjoy the indulgences of noble birth even in the middle of wartime.

Although even with his being allowed to train and study and indulge at times, his past still very much haunts him so.

If Orian were asked and responded truthfully what he wants from this world, he would not know what to say. Half of him would scream and shout and claw for Runekeep and vengeance, while the other half would simply ask if he could be allowed to see his dear friend, Cerenna, one last time.
Palia Bavon

Palia was born in the year 1,327 AC, to Lord Darne Bavon of Werian, and his wife Mariah Bavon. Palia was their third child and first daughter.

## Appearance and Character

Palia is of middling height and weight, with dark hair and eyes, striking eyebrows and a heart shaped mouth. She is currently nearly eighteen of age, with her shape still toned, and her hair still dark and lustrous, though on the right side of her face she has three large scars that will not heal from an encounter with a large beast of some sort. Palia dresses well, in exquisite clothing made by the finest tailors who use the most expensive fabrics. She does not dress revealingly, or ostentatiously, preferring garments that flatter her figure perfectly and disguise any imperfections in her form instead.

She is clever and charismatic, and strongwilled and stubborn. This being said, she often knows how to balance the two, except when arguing with her superiors, who seems to rile the worst in her. She loves her family, and her main goal is to further them and their futures. She especially focuses on her parents Darne and Mariah, as she sees them the most hard done by with their lot in life. Her brother, while close to their sister, have often been left to their own devices, leaving them to run wild.

Palia's childhood was fairly typical - privilege, education, travel etc - and Palia was close to her mother for most of it. She found her mother fascinating, and would demand she tell her stories of her ancestors and the dragons the Vakerians had dominion over. Palia would often lament that she had dark hair, and not the beautiful silver of the Vakerians. She and her elder sister were, while not close, exactly, still typical siblings and shared most things, including several lesser house ladies in waiting, companions and playmates who would ward with House Bavon for a year or two under the liege lord.
Morrigan

### Affiliation

House Vakerian, The GoldsLoyalty to Vakerians unclear as has also helped Blacks and Talons/Wings

## Appearance and Character

Pale of complexion and dark of hair, with nearly fully white eyes that carry a shining silver radorning her elegantly sharp visage, Morrigan stands out from anyone else. She doesn't appear intimidating, nor is she particularly tall and imposing, but her status the likely magical abilities and the fact that almost twenty ravens circle her at all times is enough to make any man fear Morrigan. At the same time, her meticulous and pragmatic nature, which lies hidden behind a pleasant façade, lends the oracle a charismatic presence that instils both respect and fear in those that know and follow her.

She was originally known the the world when Vaenyx Vakerian III brought her into his ranks for not entirely clear reasoning. Although she looks very young she carries the air of someone much older almost as if she has lived for hundreds of years. She provided Vaenyx and the Golds with accurate information about enemy movements and what they will do in the years to come, which proved to be almost wholly accurate, however in more recent years she also seems to be helping the other sides at the same time although this is wholly unclear. Many believe that she may of been the carrier of Renaella Vakerians years ago but yet again this would claim that she is much older then she appears and nobody knew of her until more recently.

She was identified by Raemor Vakerian on the battlefield as the woman who carried Veyaena Vakerian in her womb many years ago. He spoke this to people and as soon as he did he grew increasingly oddly paranoid of his surroundings for no inherent reasons and just as quickly as it came it also left.

Reports from all the way back in the War of False Promises speak of a woman of ravens of pure onyx hair who can see both into the future and past aiding Alysa Vakerian I and Vaenyx Vakerian I into their battles aiding them severely but towards the end of the war she randomly vanished from court never to be seen again. Many people at the time claimed this to be godly intervention from the skies to speak their favor for Alysa Vakerian I to sit the throne, but others believed it to be a god themselves aiding even though there is no proof there either. Many believe to this day that Morrigan is either this woman of ravens, or her reborn but she does not speak on it.
Gerys Aryon I

**Gerys Aryon I** is a fair-haired man of newfound House Aryon. The third-born son of his family, he was fostered in Vakar for several years before returning to his home of Foaton. Although of no great renown or fame early in life, he was a marvelous fighter and in the year 1,325 following the death of Lord Chilia was called back to Vakar to wed Nimue Vakerian II and move up to the Stormed Palace and rule Vraeseon elevating the Aryon family to a Major House of Saerial. He was one of the men to be appointed to serve upon the Brotherhood of the Winged Knights where he has served for years protecting Queen Visaenys Vakerian's word up in Vraeseon.

## Appearance and Character

A man of no remarkable height, Alester still strikes an imposing enough figure at 6'2". Though slightly past his prime, he maintains himself in exceptional condition, and his corded physique bears the scars of years of surviving single combat and large-scale battle alike. Blonde hair of middling length is kept slicked back, clear and out of the way of his ruddy hazel eyes. These days, his smiles are rare. The only times that he smiles truly is at his wife and paramour Nimue Vakerian II or his two children. More common are the sneers he casts to those few who dare make mention within his earshot anything in support of Maegaron or Maenyx.

Above all else, Gerys struggled to grasp who he is for quite some time, as a man grown, as a husband to Nimue, who he is in the light of the Faith, and as a Great Lord of Saerial. In his youth, his fate was not his own, and he felt almost captive in the capital when he served there for years, alone and isolated from his family he missed so dearly. He developed a quiet demeanor very early on, and though the melancholy that seized him as a child is now gone, he still goes through bouts of numbness, unsure of his place in the world, although he would never show it to anyone other then his beloved wife.

He is called the King of the High Seas or the Stormlord after his sailing experience on stormy waters against pirates and the Mullyn fleets alike. He was named a champion and a hero at the Battle of Bloodkeep when he managed to slay a few high generals of the Mullyn army getting awarded ceremonial medals for his honors by King Vaenarr Vakerian I. Gerys Aryon has not gone to battle as of late due to his children and Nimue's fear of losing him, despite this he is still a respected warrior and sailor of the high seas.
Harkin Saeral II

**Harkin Saeral** is the eldest son and heir of Lord Tarkan Saeral and his wife Lady Ranae Aeori. He has one sibling, the lady Anrea Saeral. Harkin has himself received a knighthood at age twelve after extensive training from Sword Masters and her mother.

## Appearance and Character

Harkin Saeral, is Blue of hair and blue of eye. The latter of the two features belonging to his Lord father, while the former is one such that comes from his mother's line. Further so, Harkin does possess, unakin to his Lord father the ability to grow out a long beard, of which he did once before cutting it all off for he claimed it was more of a hassle then it was worth keeping it close shaven ever since.

As he was growing he was and is still loved dearly by both of his parents who always have tried their best to give both him and his sister the best lives many could ever dream of. When it was clear that he was interested in taking up a blade at age eight his father agreed that it would be wise of him and worked with his mother Ranae Aeori to commission a nice blade from the royal blacksmith which he still uses to this day dubbing it Kazir.

Harkin is most of the times an unassertive and quiet man. Mostly lacking the ambition of his father in politics and the drive of his mother, Harkin sits rather meekly in the succession, content to watch over the House's success and engage in the odd pit of subterfuge when he deems it so totally necessary, or is convinced by another to do so. However on the battlefield the man is heavily different, more then willing to bark orders out to people in mock battles and while he has never been a participant in a real battle he has won multiple tourneys within the last few years with his strong sword arm.

Harkin Saeral's early years proved uneventful, in the right kind of way. Save the incident of the War of the Three Dragons being present from his birth to current day. Little else plagued the family who live in Vakar, save winters here and there, of which did not affect the Saerals too harshly, seeing as the Crownlands are never too harshly affected, Harkin's youth was defined by lessons from the Grand Maester Araphos, lessons from his Dragon Maid mother on swordplay, lessons from his Lord father on finances and further Saeral history, and time with his siblings and other such nobles from nearby as well as children his age.
Tytos Aeori I

**Tytos Aeori** is the Heir of Xabia, and future Protector of the West. He is the first born son and second child of his father and mother, Bavinil Aeori, the Lord of Xabia and Protector of the West and Lady Nilissa Aeori. Tytos' birth seemed to bring Nilissa out of her deep depression focusing all of her effects and love onto Tytos giving him the alias Lightbringer as he brought the light back to his mother at his birth.

## Appearance and Character

A handsome man in his youth, with darker blue hair and bright gold eyes. Whilst the other houses waged wars against each other, it fell to Tytos to feel that he needed to help the stop of the ongoing conflict throughout the realm alongside his father the Lord of Xabia whether that was defending their islands, or holding court in the Gilded Isles whilst people like his aunt Ranae herself rode forth into the battles. A capable and kind ruler he seems to be in his early life, wishing for the faith to stay at its current power not being enhanced as the Heir to the Throne of Fire wishes. Many think him the more reasonable of the Aeori with his approach to court despite everything.

He seems to be interested in wedding a Bayeri girl that his uncle Davios Aeori had introduced him to from his still good connections to Elyana Bayeri. Despite this interest and him meeting a few possible suitors he has not found one that he wishes to wed at this very moment at the age of sixteen.
Perseus

## Appearance and Character

Perseus is a fat man, standing at 5'9, with a wide frame and huched back needing a cane to properly walk. He isn't, and never was considered a formidable fighter, especially when it comes to martial prowess. Pale from years hidden away in servitude, an old man now stands before those that meet him. He primarily dresses in blacks and reds, as befit a Red Priest of The Red Faith.

Many years ago a young baby was found in the execution chambers of Sarilt in the arms of a man who burned thirty buildings down killing multiple families. The child was found by the High Priestess Ash and brought before the Red God's flame in Iarran and while the flame didn't seem to react or show anything Ash was told a name, that name was Perseus and as such that was his name. As he grew to a mere teenager at the age of three and thirteen he was already performing hard labor for the church, whether that be scrubbing the ground or the dead or other such menial tasks.

As the god himself named this child, many tutors were brought in as he was more and more considered the favored monk of this Temple due to his apt wit and quick tongue, though it earned him plenty of stripes upon his back from time to time. As he gained more and more knowledge, his range of knowledge went darker and darker, as he strayed from normal topics such as astronomy and religious texts to banned arts and magic. He proved to be quite adept at magic, first at sleight of hand magic and later at the real idea of the topic at hand.

As Perseus aged, he became more and more adept at learning, especially after being transferred to the upper floors because of his latent magical aptitude. The instructors saw potential in Perseus, as a spymaster miracle worker and other unsavory titles due to his natural curiosity and propensity for magical artistry. However, as he learned more, the darker he became. The more cruel he became over time, the more power he gained in the arcane. However, along with his growing skill and darkening mindset, he was also allowed to study darker arts, such as Illusion magics and the Last Kiss. These arts were heavily taboo, but in the Grand Red Temple daily sacrifices were required and over time Perseus became seen as a religious figure within the city. However, over time his presence would prove to be too much of a distraction for him. Perseus would flee from the city after telling Ash about his departure, cutting off his normally long locks into a more raggedy look, dyeing it into a more natural shade of grey, leaving his chain and his life behind as he fled to Saerial with what little coin he could steal.

Perseus adopted a life within Miriam's Temple in Vakar setting it up for Ash and Soot. As a Red Priest, he quickly ascended the ranks within the hierarchy of the faith until he finally ascended to the second highest position. In his advanced age he is taking a more advisory role within the faith. This allowed him to travel Saerial hoping to spread the faith within the Kingdoms especially to the north of which he heals people with the red gods wills and actions.
Randall Pecerean

**Randall Pecerean** is the son of Edgerran Johsian and his wife Rhialta and is the current Lord of Duskval, being appointed to the position after his marriage to the melancholy Keyana Pecerean who was set to inherit it. He has two daughters with Keyana, Nakri and Layla Pecerean.

## Appearance and Character

After his slight maiming and captivity during the beginning of the War of Three Dragons, Randall has grown gaunt, his hair has slightly whitened from the torture and he carries scars all along his body that he keeps fully clothed due to his insecurities. His eyes are the color of the deep ocean, but all the warmth has left him after his captivity, leaving him cruel to outsiders certainly, and cruel to his family seemingly unintentionally

Randall as such is a gruff, cold man, left scarred and distant from his children. However, his wits have remained, and under his good stewardship, the lands of Duskval have prospered as it hasn't since the kingdom itself was burnt by Vaegar I. The only warmth he ever shows is to his wife and possibly his children if they are lucky, Keyana, Nakri and younger Layla, who are the world to him even if he acts completely distant. Randall is nothing if not a diligent man, who knows how to be patient and execute his duties as a Lord.

He was educated in all ways a future lord should've been and became a good steward and a master of economics. He at first resented his bastard half-brother Kai, but they eventually grew close and became closer before his kidnapping.

Martyn was betrothed to Keyana Pecerean, who was a few years younger than him, and despite his disgust for the idea of children, was obligated to conceive children with her, which led to her becoming barren after the birth of her second daughter Layla. The couple had two children, Nakri and Layla.

During the war, Randall led an attack against General Dunval and his followers when they neared the Holdfast, but he was defeated and captured in a battle. He was imprisoned in the Death-Hold, where he was tortured relentlessly only being released to prove a point to the lords of the Talons and Wings.
Marilla Lakoran

### Relatives

Spouse: Syron LakoranChildren: Eliar Lakoran I, Dencin Lakoran III, Soniya Lakoran I

## Physical description

### Eye color

Blue

**Marilla Lakoran** is the wife of Lord Syron Lakoran, Hand of the King. The two were wed after his appointment of Hand of the King when Maegaron Vakerian II himself called her to betroth Syron since then their love has truly blossomed and it's evident they truly are the best match. Marilla is the eldest sibling and only sister of Artan Bayle, giving her rule over the town of Canton.

## Appearance and Character

Marilla Lakoran has always been a slim woman. Even as a child she readily looked down upon those girls and boys who took to a fat, and oft held no hesitation in rather crudely pointing it out to them. More so, for a woman she has proven to be of a notable height, standing at 5'7', although this does leave her shorter than all three of her brothers.

Alas, Marilla Lakoran has not been one to idly waste away while her younger brothers achieved title and position, and whatever Leyton has achieved. At a young age, she was wed to Syron Lakoran, so as to bring the two schemers together in hopes they would make the perfect match.

Yet before such, Marilla came to bloom within Firekeep, into quite the beautiful and attractive young woman, and one whom did not lack for the attributes sought after for child-rearing, as seen by her three children. But alas, while Marilla quite enjoyed her teenage years as she came into herself, other girls who were kept around as her companions, tended not to. It was quite oft that Marilla mocked them and made japes at their expense, while also doing so at the expense of others, as one servant within Canton once stated regarding Marilla Lakoran, *"such is the way of her birth"*.

Further so, Marilla is a staunchly proud woman whom while a Lakoran now by marriage, proudly boasts her Bayle birth and would never be one to allow her place in this world forgotten by any.
Janik Pecerean II

**Janik Pecerean II** is the first born son and third born child of Brack Pecerean II, Lord of Ruizar and Lady Bethally Pecerean. Early in his life he was on the path to become a knight before he ditched that path going into a sleuthing political game. He spent much time in Vakar serving on Raemor's Small Council as the Master of Coin after Davios Aeori's departure. He was then elevated to the position of Hand of the King to King Vaenarr Vakerian I's court of which he has proved to a good advisor and hand even if sometimes he is acting for his own goodwill. He is obsessed with the Bastard child Veyaena Vakerian and has tried to propose to her many times to no avail.

## Appearance and Character

Janik has inherited the build, if not the looks of his father. Tall and lightly muscled he is yet to come into his prime physical condition but hard years spent in the practice yard of his youth have toned his body, before his life as a sleuthing politician. Eyes of Pecerean blue, blackish brown hair and often seen with his hair carefully done. Janik is the desire of many young women that walk the streets of Vakar.

A womanizer through and through, adventures in the Mountains of the midlands and the arrival in Vakar he has blossomed into a confident attractive man that can get nearly any woman he wishes whenever he wants and that he surely does. His humor and his sarcastic tongue have not been lost, his eyes rarely wander from those that he has personal lust for most notable Veyaena Vakerian, but also a few other women even if married at court.

He is a calculating, intelligent, politically astute, ruthless, and controlling man. He dedicates his life and efforts towards maintaining his personal prestige, and ensuring House Pecerean is at least feared by their enemies. He is a proven battle commander who leads from the rear, and he has a powerful presence combined with an attractive gaze. According to his sister Alis, Janik mistrusts laughter of people he doesn't care much for as he believes it means that they are planning behind his back.

Though ruthless, Janik is an able and shrewd ruler who has brought great prosperity and information during his current tenure as the King's Hand. He is especially talented at the raising of funds. He is more respected than loved in the midlands, and he is remembered in Vakar for his looks and as an overall pretty good politician.

With him proving himself to be a brilliant administrator, Saerial prospered during the first part of Vaenarr's rule even while at war. He covered the debts to the Banks with gold from a place that he has never disclosed. He gained the loyalty of many lords by repealing reforms enacted by Vaenarr's great grandsire, King Aerydar Vakerian, and he supported the merchants of Vakar Ruizar Sarilt Vraeseon and Sudal
Laina Pecerean III

Lady Laina Pecerean III, the Clarion Call, is a commander brilliant beyond her years, driven by the desire to right the wrongs of the honor of House Pecerean upon the pages of history. Highly religious but not in the Starry Rites and painfully un-sentimental, her off-putting demeanor conceals a sharply pointed mind and a sense for intrigue and statecraft to accompany her talents at the general's helm.

## Appearance and Character

Willowy and tall, with beautifully carved, statuesque features of porcelain pale. Her blue eyes glitter with an acidic, calculating light, and her black hair is tied back into a painfully severe ponytail that complements her narrow face as best as that style could come close to 'complementing' anything. The impression one originally got in her youth is of prettiness like a marble bust that's been smashed in by its own artist, carefully and exquisitely ruined. Over time however her looks have improved even if she now dons some scars from her times in the Dragon Maids.

Her voice is soft yet biting at times, with the peculiar sort of absent-minded tone that indicates her only rarely wholly paying attention to someone else. Laina often seems out in her own dream world, toying with details beyond the mundanities of conversation though if one catches her attention, Her full focus is quite disconcerting and rare.

Commonly, she wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses perched upon her small nose or pushed into her black hairline, though she sees perfectly well without them, and seems to only need them for reading and consulting maps, she also does not wear them into battle by any regard.

She dons dark armor, with slight red accents much like the colors of House Vakerian, she dresses similarly to most of the Dragon Maids and thinks that Visaenys is not even a true queen of Vaenarr and that Vaehna is the only queen of Saerial. She is incredibly skilled with her swordplay besting some of the best knights in the land and one of her crowning achievements a few years back was beating Ser Serron Rane in a friendly duel. However some discredit her thinking that Serron lost not out of skill but out of lack of training for years. She trains rigorously with the other dragon maids to one day hopefully bring peace to the realm once more and establish themselves as great warriors of renown.
Talana Thulum

## Appearance and Character

Talana is a middle-aged woman, swarthy and muscular. she is brown haired that has started to grey over time, but she is still strong and fit. Talana is shorter but more muscular than most members of the Kingsguard. Many northerners used to consider her as beautiful however with time her beauty left with it, although she does still have a certain charm to some people. Talana is respected even by her enemies for her swordsmanship.

Talana wears wool and leather primarily, with her dark grey and brown tunics displaying the Winter Sun of House Thulum. Talana armors herself in half-plate as well as gauntlets, and greaves that have a bear on it to pay homage to the name she got many years ago. She wields a greatsword and always has a dagger at her hip just in case.

Talana was married at a young age to the second born son of House Thulum Christor Thulum as desired by her father, the minor lord of Randai. While they were married for many years, Talana's husband was exiled due to the death of Lord Tyron Thulum and since that she has hated him.

During Robert's Rebellion, Talana fought on the side of the rebels.she was present during the Battle of the Crownlands in 1,334 AC and saw the aftermath of the attempted Sack of Vakar.

During a tourney at Sarilt to celebrate the victory over some rebels, Talana met Christor, when she was just over half his age and he became smitten with her beauty. She asked for his blessing to wear during the tournament, for which he gave her permission. Talana unexpectedly defeated all challengers. She faced Ser Edder last, and after they broke nine lances to no result, King Rhaelarys Vakerian II granted Talana the victory. Christor asked Talana's father, for her hand in marriage that same night. Surprisingly, he agreed. Talana and Christor were married in Sarilt.

The marriage did not remain happy for long. Having spent her life in knighthood, Talana was unprepared for life in harsh and isolated Sarilt and quickly grew miserable. Christor attempted to reproduce the lifestyle to which his wife was accustomed but only succeeded in driving herself into financial ruin, by lavishing her with expensive gifts, hiring a cook from her home city, and a harper from the same. However this all didn't help although it briefly got better with the birth of their two children, of which they were on again off again but parented to the best of their ability. This all ended though when Christor got exiled by Denzin and now neither people claim to be married anymore and are completely estranged.
Malora Runeri III

**Malora Runeri III** is a Septa of the Most Devout, the first daughter of Cedrick Runeri and Laera Lakoran. She has traveled across all of Saerial even within wartime, and is knowledgeable about foreign lands, despite being a devout follower of the Starry Rites.

## Appearance and Character

A fair woman of twenty-eight years, Septa Malora, born Malora Runeri III, is a woman of average height, pretty if not beautiful, tall of stature with beautiful wavy blonde hair, somewhere between golden and platinum blonde. Her complexion is pale, a permanent flush about her pronounced cheeks. Her narrow jawline also pronounces her red lips, and blue eyes that shimmer like the sea.

Malora often dresses herself in beige and white linens, preferring neither luxury or poverty. She has a soft, delicate frame, and has defined curves.

Malora is a devout follower of the Starry Rites, and never felt that her destiny was to be noble. In her youth, she found the Rites to her liking, and took to practicing them. She is forgiving, graceful, charming, and knowledgeable. She carries about her an air of mystery that can only be described as ethereal, as she often wears loose-fitting robes and speaks in soft, melodic tones.

Malora had a disinterest for nobility from the day she learned to read. It was said, and noted by the Runeri’s maesters that Malora would spend her time with the daughters of serving girls, or with her own handmaids, and though her father sought to part her from these pursuits, Malora proved herself to be stubborn indeed.

When her nose was not buried in books, some borrowed from the faith itself, she was out performing charity, or helping to benefit the lives of those beneath her. She dressed herself without thought of importance, and demanded that she attend to herself, rather than that of her ladies.

By the time she was ten, Malora had come to friendship with another woman of noble birth: Alyra Vakerian the first of her name. A scion of that most important house from Vakar, Malora found that they shared similar views, and when the time had come for Alyra to leave Sudal after her journey there, they had become great friends, and Alyra had even suggested that Malora become a Septa. During this time, she also introduced her younger siblings to books.

And so it was that in the year 1,340 AC, Malora discarded her mortal name under the consent of her father, and became Septa Malora. All ties to her and the Runeri family were severed, though connections yet remained for her in the service of nobility and her parents are still proud and care for her.

Malora lived a simple life as a Septa, proving herself to be one of those most devout to the cause of the Starry Rites. She fasted frequently, praying day and night, and eventually caught the eye of the Most Devout themselves. Already known to them as Malora Runeri, a humbled child now presented to them, they promised her a vote in the Most Devout.
Teressa Thulum I

**Teressa Thulum I** is the daughter of Meya Thulum, and Gregor Thulum. Sister to Elden Thulum V, she is pledged to squire for Ser Edder Cheswright of the Kingsguard. Though not knighted, she carries herself with near the same level of honor, and skill one might find in a knight.

## Appearance & Character

Teressa has a pointed face, mostly straight white teeth with a few knocked slightly crooked, small hands, and a delicate nose. She has pretty blue-grey eyes which some people that don't overly respect her thinks are too close or far apart. Her legs are skinny but well muscled. Despite being a few years younger then her brother Elden they are the same height and it is evident that she is still growing making some people make fun of her height, however she seems to like the fact that she is still getting taller by the day.

Teressa's most distinctive feature is her thin, often messy mop of straight black hair that almost seems to have strands of white or grey towards the front of which nobody knows where it comes from. Many believe the white hair to be lucky and oddly beautiful and describe those with it as having been "kissed by the master of fire," although not many highborn men think her all that attractive due to some of her more unconventional features. She is fierce, stubborn, and wild. She has a warm smile and can sing in a low voice.

She often wears layers of fur and wool and leather, a doeskin shirt and a sewn sheepskin helm. She wields a castle forged sword and dagger but prefers to fight with a light battleaxe.

Depending on the activity, she prefers to unleash her long strands over her back or keep them in a compact updo, yet not a stranger to diversity by any means, she regularly has it curled as is common in the capital, and tries new styles on a near-daily basis.

She is well aware that it is her charisma, resolve, and visionary ambition that hold the machinery of her future knighthood together, and she utilizes every tool at her disposal with deliberation. Methodical and perceptive throughout her social interactions, Teressa reads emotions with effortless ease, and relates to her people with genuine empathy as she exercises her power.
Alia Nyttle I

## Appearance and Character

Though Alia is somewhat of a local legend for her youthful beauty, her silky, brown hair is what has stood the greatest test of time, and is still the most immediate reason for her fame. She is still quite young, but is often described to look deceptively slightly older than she truly is, thanks in part to her rigid, defined features, with high cheekbones, a long, straight nose, and a sharp chin and jawline. Her large, wet-looking honey colored eyes are dominant in first impressions, second only to her ever growing tresses. Though she smiled much in her youth, her beauty has lost it's warmth, and taken on a keen austerity, making her look far more melancholy.

Preferring brighter, more flamboyant colors, Alia definitely dresses the age that she truly is. She is usually overdressed, clad in dramatically cut, revealing gowns and dresses, with plunging necklines covered underneath and long, hanging sleeves. She is never without a fair ransom in jewelry, most of which are gifts from her mother over the years in case to drop if she is ever taken so she can give clues.

Alia is a traditional lady at heart. She has never been a particularly attached person; cool, rational, and stable, Alia served as the healing light for the household of Waqien under her grandfathers rule. Even in the darkest of times, she has always been a kind and friendly figure in the keep, and has a strong sense of morality despite her age, believing it to be unfitting for a highborn lady to allow sadness into her life. Ever a busybody, she has always been very physically and mentally active. She loves infants, and is especially keen on telling her parents she wants a baby sibling.

Serron has coal black hair and pale blue eyes. Many ladies described him as charming, before he met Alysa he oftentimes humored the women who thought him attractive however after he met Alysa he seems to only have eyes for his beautiful wife.

Serron is an exceptionally skilled warrior, particularly with his sword. He is also known to have wielded a mace in battle however there is only a few tourneys where this happened and he seems to be better with his sword. Ser Serron was originally born to a steward of Lord Lakoran in Uliria, in the Marches.

In 1,325 AC, Serron won a melee at the tourney at Vakar to celebrate the return of Princess Nimue Vakerian, drawing the attention of the royal court by knocking all opponents off their horses and knocking the breastplates off of people who were idiotic enough to continue the duel. He asked for the favor of Alysa II who happily accepted this, whose favor he wore in the joust, some claim that this very favor was what brought his victory but many claim likely more accurately that it was due to his skill. After being crowned the champion of the tourney he got a favor of the king and out of anything he asked to be Alysa's sworn sword, so Rhaelarys responded by naming Serron her personal sworn shield.

In 1,325 AC, the twenty-two-year-old Serron asked for Alysa's hand in marriage in the gardens of Vakar at sunset, after their both romantic and sexual relationship had planted a child within the princess' womb. Although this would be of severe controversy because some believe that it is irrefutably the child of Margaron and Alysa, when Serron heard of these rumors he grew angered and would not humor any of the thoughts knowing that it was his child.

Shortly after the birth of their firstborn they all went to Scalekeep together for the first time alongside the princesses best friend and handmaiden Mariette Tumoq. They would remain here until the current day going back to Vakar from time to time for differing reasons and to go to large events or meetings with the rest of the Vakerian family. Serron refuses to work with the Lakoran family after they publicly supported Maegaron's claim to the throne and stays with his children and his wife to protect them from any harm that could come to Scalekeep or Vakar.
Ossen Steel Swords

**Ossen steel** was invented in the Ancient Times of Old, and was used to make weapons and various other items of unparalleled quality. Dragonfire play a role in its forging, which makes the steel special and gives it magical characteristics. Though by far the most well-known and common means of making uncommon swords, there are weapons not made of Ossen steel that share similar properties.
Xodard Xoanial

## Appearance and Character

Xodard is a somewhat large and lean man - tall, broad-shouldered, with bright purple hair always styled covering over his right eye although he lets the eye be partially seen unlike his sister, he has bright fuchsia eyes that seem to darken when he grows angry. He seems to be an amiable man with a strong sense of duty and justice, he has been kind to innocents and has been ruthless to his enemies, he is seemingly very loyal to his King Vaenarr Vakerian, and follows his orders to the letter however many have doubts of the boy due to his unknown origins thinking that he is surely some sort of assassin sent by other sides. Despite this he is a good commander from his time fighting in the War of Three Dragons, and has experience fighting bandits that often plague the kingdoms, Xodard often inspires loyalty in the men who follow him due to his willingness to fight alongside them in the thick of battle.

Both he and his sister Sirina seemed to show up on the face of the realm at near the same point. Nobody knew of their existence before 1,332 A.C. where they both showed up on a large flagship decorated heavily with motifs of white branches and trees. They carry two blades that seem to be made from bone itself but have an unexplainable sharpness to them. Some people believe they are dragonbone swords but this is unconfirmed and unlikely given that dragon bones tend to be black instead of white like theirs. Xodard wields the blade Lakranz which he seems to adore and keep very safe and close to his person at all times even sleeping with it laying next to him.

He was named to be a minor house by Vaenarr Vakerian after his work of cleansing a city under his control of any wrongdoers and bandits. He was offered a position on his council if he could prove his loyalty. Xodard repeatedly proved his loyalty but claimed each time that he cared not to be a political figurehead on the council. He seems to have immense interest in House Vipigi although nobody knows directly why this may be. Both he and his sister have at times asked for leave to go north to meet the Lord and Lady Aryon alongside House Vipigi and they were allowed to go wherever they wished however to this day they have not left the capital so it is a little unclear exactly what is going on. Nimue specifically does not trust the man from the letters she has sent back to the capital about the matter.
Byrin Runeri II

**Byrin Runeri II** is the second son and third child of Lord Cedrick Runeri and Laera Lakoran II, and is a young knight to his house. He grew from a young age with a sword in his hand despite his partial love for sweets and pastries. Many claim that he is a knight not for honor or any other reason then training to keep his body in shape.

## Appearance and Character

Byrin has a lithe frame that likely would be skinny if it weren't for his constant eating of both sweets and meats alike that he claims is required for a knight. Handsome features compensate for otherwise unremarkable dirtied blonde hair and odd remarkable heterochromia. There is an odd dichotomy in his features between his private and professional life; a ready, kind smile for those close to him and his subjects but a stern, serious expression during or preparing for battle.

Trained to use a sword, and not without ability, his true talent lies in leading men both as a commander of soldiers. His youthful appearance belies his poise when in command.

Byrin had a fairly typical early childhood as heir to a House. While he had moments of recreation the vast majority of his time was spent preparing him for his eventual knighthood. Arms-training, book-learning, and the all-important lessons in leadership were spread liberally among a group of teachers during his adolescence. Not least of those was early training by his uncle Blaine Runeri, who had the honor of being one of the Winged Knights despite Byrins distaste for the wings.

Byrin faced his training with all the seriousness available to a young lordling, but the one aspect he truly shone in was commanding soldiers. It started as simple tactical exercises concealed as games, but those quickly were discarded for more complex challenges for the child. The battles and challenges were systematically dismantled by young Byrin, much to his father's pride. As he grew older his father naturally wished to broaden his education as well as giving Byrin the opportunity to make connections of his own with the other notable families of the shield.
Geras Runeri II

**Geras Runeri II** is the firstborn son of Ronas Runeri I and Reyah Runeri. He is currently still an infant and as such little is known of what he will become in the future. However He was baptized by High Priest Oksifer, at the heavy request of Reyah Runeri of which the young child smiled all the way through. He is clearly loved by both parents and will likely one day be the future Lord of Sudal
Oani Seronyth

**Oani Seronyth** of Casaraq Isle was the eldest daughter of a pirate lord and his whore. Born in the year 1,297 A.C, she would abandon her family footsteps, learning the finer arts of love and companionship for which some of the Foreign Isles is so famed. She left for Saerial early in her life housing within the midlands. Years later, ambition would see her rise to the Lady of Runekeep, a seat she obtained when she married Wyllam Seronyth III.

## Appearance & Character

Though relatively petite, standing barely over 5'5" at maturity, Oani's silhouette boasted an hourglass most could only envy. As her hair shone a silky pale blonde and her eyes smoldered silver, complemented by high cheek bones and an angular jaw.

She was driven, tempered, and had a knack for political subtleties. A proud woman, and firmly rooted in her lineage, Oani sought for little else than to see her newly acquired family rise further and further. With her sharp wit and uncanny ability to read the motives and underlying emotions of those with whom she interacted, she was well equipped, even from an early age, to see her ambitions through.

Unlike her own childhood, she involved herself personally in the development of her child. Not one willing to allow her accomplishments to be overturned in later years, she was careful to cultivate desired values and characteristics in her daughter. Not only that, but the time spent developing a relationship with her offspring would be a bond that would run deeper simply than blood. Nobility had a tendency to withhold displays of affection and attention for their own brood, she knew. And too easily could a child grow to resent their parents, willing to cast them aside should opportunity or motive present itself which she did not want to any degree.
Meya Thulum I

**Meya Thulum I**, is the secondborn child and firstborn daughter of Lord Tyron Thulum and Lady Giyana Thulum of Sarilt. Meya is sometimes called the The Sun Maiden ever since she has joined Queen Vaehna's Dragon Maids.

## Appearance and Character

Meya is often described as unfeminine in appearance and is considered unattractive by most Saerial standards, however in the far north she is often described as beautiful in a traditional sense. She is tall, well toned, and flat-chested, with long, black hair and broad, coarse features that are covered in a few freckles. Her mouth is wide, her lips are swollen, and it looks almost as though she has had multiple scars and broken bones along her face and marks seem to be a permanent reminder of this. She has thin blue eyes. Also due to her long days of fighting and training her fingers are thick and callused.

When at one point of her youth she tried to dress and act like a proper lady in the south, she was met with mockery and disdain for her unattractive appearance and lack of feminine social graces; when she turned to a career more suited to her talents as a warrior, she received only contempt and resentment for her gender despite her considerable skill. Perhaps because of this background, Meya is as awkward in personality as she is in appearance.

Meya can be headstrong and judgmental, but she is also honest, straightforward, loyal and determined. Although she has recieved nothing but love from her northern folk the south was no easy place for her. She was constantly made fun of even worse from time to time. However despite all this, Meya clinged to a naively idealized concept of knighthood. This was the very thing that drew the eye of the Talon Queen Vaehna Vakerian I who invited her as one of the first inductees into the Dragon Maids.

Instead of a lady's attire, Meya wears a black and white doublet, breeches, boots, and a fine-tooled swordbelt. Meya's dented steel armor is a brilliant, deep black cobalt with slight red detailing, the common armor of the Dragon Maids, and she also has mail. Meya has a sword, and she wields it during melees despite this she also normally has a flail at her hip just in case. She also knows how to wield an axe. Her black destrier is barded with the Winter Sun heraldry of House Thulum.
