I think Gabriel is about finished.

Those from Kolwyn: he's only been an active bannerman of the household for the past several months. He's capable but fairly odd; his lack of appearance at social gatherings or without armor marks him as an outlier though. He's destitute and nearly landless. Rumor has it that his father abandoned their holdings and pissed away the family fortune (though it was small already) on the drink - choosing to hide at the bottom of a bottle after his wife's death.

Others: The Raindrop Knight has participated in a few minor tourneys in the Reach and Stormlands. He seems a competent sort. He's done well: preferring the melee and long blade to the joust or lance. Overall though, most will likely not know of him. He is by no means famed.

In reply to Rikard (msg # 429):

I posted before but had to delete the post I got confused on the houses.


Because Rikard had not been played your free to run with either idea. But if your a ward then I would go with a new name and keep Rikard open for another future player as the 3rd son.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and will join House Kolwyn. A little birdie told me to ask you guys (other Kolwyns) where to put me.
Wulfgang is a Squire (at the moment) so he would probably need an anointed knight to be my mentor. Or maybe that I will be anointed soon.


Just so you know it, it's my first time playing the Game of Thrones.

I'd say you could hang with Gabriel, but he's not an anointed knight unfortunately!

He'll be guarding Ashara as they depart North though - maybe you can help Gabriel guard and keep the lady company?

In reply to Caladin (msg # 431):

Ok. I would rather just stick with Rikard, if that's still fine. Someone else said they were going to play that character.

In reply to Gabriel Laurent (msg # 433):

Well if there is no anointed knight in Kolwyn, I might join up with Gabriel. Trying to make a name for myself so that I get anointed. If I read your description right than Gabriel is rather famous, so it should be easy to integrate Wulfgang.

Gabriel isn't hugely famous, but he's made something of a name for himself at a few tourneys.

That sounds fun, Wulfgang! Two characters trying to make a name for themselves and earn the title, "ser". :)

I'm playing an anointed Knight if your truly looking to squire for one. Not famous yet, but hey House Neumann is always looking for new additions, plus we have cookies.

could still be part of kolwyn, but because of family relations you were sent to Edric. Would be good cross over between regions

In reply to Mara Neumann (msg # 438):

This sounds good. Being send to House Neumann to establish or strengthen relationship.

There aren't any knight PCs in House Kolwyn specifically, but our banner house House Ravenhowe has two, Hassan and Godfrey Ravenhow. You might want to talk to them.

The neat think is maybe there is a conflict for you as a squire. With the recent war. Who will you join your Doenish brothers, or uphold your oath.  Of course the big thing is would someone from your region send to the reach

In reply to Wulfgang Tannard (msg # 435):

With regards to knights there is House Ravenhowe - all knights in fact, .....

In reply to Mara Neumann (msg # 438):

Unfortunately there are no relations with Dorne the war/fighting is just now coming to an end. Doesn't mean that is couldn't have just been done, and the start of friendly relations :)

But that wouldn't make you House Kolwyn, maybe ties too, but it would be House Ashfield.

Well you could be the Squire that is traveling with Kaldor to House Ashfield. And this is your hand off too House Ashfield. I kinda like that :)

your intro is then up if you accept the above, .....?

In reply to Mara Neumann (msg # 441):

These question have been answered ,.... (hahahah lol and so my evil mind is now at work)

Sounds good to me, where do I start?

In reply to Wulfgang Tannard (msg # 446):

IC: Preparing for Peace msg #62 your intro

Heya All!

New player here (as you all have guessed!). I'm thinking at this point in playing a PC member of the Neumann house, but not related by any family ties to the Neumann's.

The PC I'm considering would be some form of sellsword coming from the free cities with a small company of horse. A form of miniaturized Black Company, one of the many mercenary bands that operate in the free cities. I believ this would fit the profile of the house, as if they are keen on expanding they need first to be able to secure what is theirs by right... and flex a strong arm with a mailed fist when needed.

Any thoughts from fellow house members are appreciated!

So this will be you with a band of men?

Or your solo as a sellsword?

If it can be accommodated, it would be me with a small company of men. It will make for interesting NPC's. If we agree on this I will flesh out the main NPC's a bit so that people can include them in their posts / stories.

In reply to jmlima (msg # 450):

Im ok wit this is it become the 3rd house for the Reach and its a knighly house like House Ravenhowe.

So regardless of house rolls it need to be kept small and in service to one of the 2 player houses, or too both.

Also the spot should be open for player in the future to join up or take over key positions.

I ok with this if the rest are.

During the war with Dorne, Poppy Hall (House Ashfield) was a behind-the-lines staging point for Targaryen troops, specifically for badly-injured troops to be brought to and treated/cured.

Now that we are at treaty with Dorne, no doubt there could be any number of ex-soldiers hanging around looking for work. It certainly would be feasible for jmlima's to be in the area, and perhaps helping to clear out those ex-soldiers that have turned to banditry on Ashfield lands.

well your in luck if you want to be part of house neumann. They have a calvary unit know as the blue lances and Ser Edric has been to the free cities.

In reply to Ser Edric Neumann (msg # 453):

That would be cool if you like you can work with some of the other new players and create a knightly house/order, .....
