Noble Houses & Vassals of The Stormlands


House Rules and Guidelines::
The list below is current and are the known houses of The Stormlands. They are listed in groups, then alphabetical order. Group 1 Greater Vassels & Masterly Houses; Group 2 Lessor Vassels & Nobles Houses; Group 3 Restricted.

  1. Houses with an {*} are Greater Vassels & Major Houses. Players can not make characters that are direct family members of Greater Vassals. Only Co-GMs are allowed to NC these characters and houses. Players with GM approval may be allowed to be part of the house hold, with a position of status 1 or 2, and can not hold a title of position.

  2. Houses that are in ITALIC are Lessor Vassals & Minor Houses in which we could not find information in any cannon to work with. Players can develop these houses freely or until cannon is released to be added in the future. Co-GMs & GM have finial approval on their creation, but players will be allowed to develop these houses freely. There are no current restrictions for characters that fall under this section, and players are allowed to be heads of house and heirs.

  3. Restriction: Houses in or part of the follow list are restricted; The Stormland lords of the Dornish Marches. If a Player is interested in coming from these Lands or Houses they most first submit a developed and complete storyline with as much details as possible. The submittal most then fit with the others player houses and PCs. Please note that most (90%) of ideas for these houses will be rejected due to there backgrounds and social standing in the political setting of this game.

  4. Houses without sigils are open for players to create PCs except for 'The Lord' or 'Lady of the house'. Players are welcomed to create heirs and or 1st born sons and daughters as well as bastards. Plan carefully with Co-GMs & GM to discuss all ideas before making changes or development of these houses. You will be required to follow the current set-up. Players will have no control over how the house is developed during play. This includes house fortunes, wealth and other improvements unless a PC becomes 'The Lord' or 'Lady of the house'. Lastly if a player does gain control of a non-player house, they will be required not to alter that families history in any way with these PCs and they will be forced to follow known written history when the time arises.

  5. Houses with sigils are restricted for players to create PCs except for daughters. Players may play daughters of the family. Please keep in mind that they will be married off when they come of age and even sent away if betrothed. If already married the player will have some say in the matter. If they become of age during play (IC) it will be based on the current events of the game. Players may also create characters for these house holds (not family members) of statues 3 or lower and they may hold a title and position.

  6. Player Houses will not have restrictions in Player Character & Player House creation. Players will be allowed to freely develop these houses, characters and backgrounds. Please see link to a message in this game for player houses in The Stormlands.

Wards & Sworn Swords of House Baratheon

House Baratheon of Storm's End
Lord Borros Baratheon
Known as Borros 'the Younger' with a height of 6' 3", closely cut, dark black hair, and light blue eyes this man shows all the telltale qualities of a Baratheon. Dark stubble grows on his chin, roughly trimmed at all times so as to avoid a longer beard. By his broad shoulders and his mostly well-maintained physique, he obviously spends a good deal of time hard at work. That said, based on the faint roundness to his stomach, he also clearly enjoys his drink.
  Lord of Storm's End
Lady Cora Baratheon
It isn't difficult to see the remnants of great beauty, yet also refined by the recent illness which has left her skin milk white and thrown her superb cheekbones into high relief. Her figure is small yet stately, gaunt yet elegant, composed almost entirely of angles and pearls and elaborately arranged bloned hair beneath a veil of delicate golden lace. Whatever shape she may have is indeterminate: her flowing blue and gold silks, stitched in her own variation upon the latest King's Landing styles, see to that nicely, though her golden girdle with the buckle in the shape of a solid gold lioness provides the occasional hint. She speaks in a pleasant, educated alto, in the accents of the court and also with her long fingered and beringed white hands, which are in the habit of emerging from her sleeves, clawlike, to underline a point. She carries the scent of orange blossom, and something else which it would be difficult and expensive to try to pin down.
Lady of Storm's End
Leonor Baratheon
Famous for her awe-inspiring voice; Leonor is known among many as the Siren of Storm's End. It is said that every time the Stormland's sailors return home from sea, she emerges high upon the keep to sing them a traditional song of hearth. While she isn't very near in bloodline to the Lord of Storm's End, she resides within the family and is regarded as a lady of the house. Leonor's earlier life was spent the same as any female of noble blood; deep within the arts and trained in the craft of wifery.
Name & Position
Sirawen Baratheon
Standing a touch more than five foot, the young woman in front of you stands with a aloof feel about her. Tresses the colour of a raven's wing at midnight, cascade down this maiden's back ending just past her little lower back. A small heart shaped face gives the illusion of youth, perhaps about twenty years of age. To the side of a perky little nose are two eyes as brilliant as polished sapphire. Her eyes are set off by thick, long eyelashes, that lay softly against her cream colored skin when her lids are closed. Her mouth is small and with pale pink lips.
Name & Position
Shayla Storm
As the bastard daughter of a Stormlands whore and Corwen Baratheon the former head of House Baratheon, Shayla Storm was never destined to amount to much. Her father did acknowlege her though which is more than many bastards can say. Of course her mother was more than happy to accept the lords help in raising her daughter and gladly let Corwen pay for a proper education, dancing, and riding lessons for the young Shayla. Shayla was a beautiful child and had exposure to both nobles and less savory types as well. She could be charming and sweet but she was not the innocent flower many noblewomen were. Her mother begin to pressure her as she grew hoping her daughter could secure a wealthy husband that would allow them both to live in comfort. Shayla though was resistant to the idea and though she got many gifts from admirers she never seemed to get attached to any of them. When her father's heir was ready to take over House Baratheon, he assigned Shayla to be his sister's handmaid.
Handmaid to Sirawen
Amadys Baratheon
A lanky youth with an instantly recognisable look, the thick black locks and dark-blue eyes that immediately announce a scion of House Baratheon's male line. Amadys is dressed in acolyte's robes of grey trimmed with pale blue only when he has to be, otherwise in general preferring a series of fine black woollen tunics, and golden cloaks lined with grey miniver. A thin length of pale-gold wire keeps three Maester's links, one of copper, one of grey iron, and one of black, dangling at his throat, but much more noticeable is the gold-and-onyx stag signet ring on his right hand.
Acolyte of the Citadel

History
Robin Bukler, was murdered just one year ago by bandits in the Kingswood while putting down an uprising led by a landless knight.

His grandson Ser Steffon stands ready to take up the title of High Lord of Northpoint.


Domains

• Bronzegate is the town, gatehouse and castle. Part mining town, trading town, and military outpost, Bronzegate is always busy. It serves as the commercial center for the Stormlands. Hospitality is the name of the game at Bronzegate with services catering to nearly every need a traveler could have. It is also a gathering point for sell swords and hedge knights looking for work protecting those traveling through the Kingswood.

• Castle Bronzegate is located in the Stormlands at the Southeastern edge of Kingswood, Bronzegate is the seat of House Buckler, approximately 150 miles Northwest of Storm's End. The nearest settlements are Felwood, approximately 75 miles to the Southeast, and Haystack Hall, approximately 50 miles to the Northeast.

History

House Buckler is seated at Bronzegate where the Kingsroad exits the Kingswood. Originally a smelting center for the copper ores mined in the nearby hills and mountains, Bronzegate is also a busy way station for travelers and merchants on the Kingsroad. The Bucklers are an old and wealthy family with a strong martial tradition. Tasked with protecting both the Kingsroad and their mines, the family is quick to train its sons in warfare. With the volume of trade that passes through Bronzegate, the daughters of the family are often schooled in mercantilism, left to handle the business end of House Buckler’s affairs while the men deal with the martial aspects.

History

The Andal Invasion: The Carons are an ancient and powerful house of the Dornish Marches, with roots before the Andal Invasion over six thousand years ago. One of house's oldest named ancestors was Ser Bryce 'the Nightingale' (so nicknamed because of his singing, apparently). Caron, was the son of a companion of great knights and the kings, such as Artys Arryn and Garth Greenhand, though he was actually sworn to the knight who would take the Storm King's daughter and titles (and the name Durrendon for himself) some years after the first Andal landing at the Fingers. Having fought at the future Storm King's side through thick and thin, Bryce was granted lands in the Dornish Marches, a rough land constantly contested by the Reach, the Stormlands and the Dornish, and used his share of the loot from the last First Man Storm King's baggage train to found the castle of Nightsong. Lord Bryce and his sons did such a good job at keeping Garth Greenhand's grasping green fingers and the Dornishmen's spears out of the Stormlands that he was later raised to Lord of the Dornish Marches, making the Carons the Stormlands' first line of defense against invaders from the west or south. For the next six thousand years, House Caron ably served the Durrendon Storm Kings as the wardens of their western frontier, using both cold steel and the rough, mountainous terrain of the Dornish Marches to keep the Reachmen and Dornishmen out of the Stormlands.

The Rhoynar Invasion: Some time later, one of Bryce's distant descendants counted the future Lord of Blackhaven, a messenger with the name Dondarrion who was saved from a Dornish ambush by a miraculous lightning strike and was thus able to report a Dornish invasion to the Storm King, among his servants.

The Targaryen Dynasty: When the Targaryens came, Lord Arcon Caron naturally answered Storm King Argilac the Arrogant's call for his banners, leaving his son and heir Ser Beren to defend the Marches with a quarter of Nightsong's strength. He rode with the rest of the Stormlander host to meet Orys Baratheon's forces at the Last Storm and personally attempted to ride down Baratheon before he could reach Argilac, but the future Lord of the Stormlands killed his horse from underneath him and bashed his head in while he was still trapped beneath the destrier's corpse, before moving on to fight his famous duel with the Storm King. Upon learning of what had happened at the Last Storm, Beren quickly decided that he was not going to die like his father and was one of the Stormlords who delivered Princess Argella, Argilac's daughter, to Orys naked and in chains. While Orys removed her chains and treated her with courtesy, he at least appreciated the Stormlords' gesture and allowed them to keep their heads and titles, Arrec among them.

Since Arrec's time, the Carons have served the Baratheons just as loyally as they had the Durrendons. During the Dance of the Dragons, the Carons fought for Aegon II, and come the Blackfyre Rebellion Lord Harbert Caron stood with House Blackfyre but was later convinced to switch sides alongside Manfred Lothston at the Redgrass Field. When Robert raised his banners in rebellion against the mad Dragons, Lord Byron Caron rode at his side with all the strength of Nightsong. In victory and in defeat, from Summerhall to the Trident, the nightingales of Caron could be found flying beneath the stag of Baratheon.

House Dondarrion of The Stormlands
Haryl Dondarrion
Haryl is a good warrior, a kind man, and a generous Lord. He spent most of his youth trying to be close to his own father, Lord Cariel. Cariel is a hard man, who has little time for his children, though there was much to admire in his character and his sense of duty and honour. It was this sense of duty that led Cariel to fight the Dorne. Haryl directly disobeyed his father, staying at Blackhaven with a bulk of the Dondarrion forces, during one of the last battles against Dorne and many men followed the more charismatic son over their own Lord. Haryl acted (or indeed failed to act) not for greed or personal gain, and not even because it was the course his uncle suggested, but because he believed the cause was not a just one. It pained him terribly to go against his father, even though he had much love for the man. The pain only worsened when he learned Taric his cousin had been cut down in the battle. His steadfast nature led to the men naming him "The Anvil", to match the nickname given to Ser Ackley "The Hammer".
Lord of Blackhaven
Deria of House Caron
Shoulder-length curly brown hair, light brown eyes. Deria stands at 5'2", an inch or so shorter than her siblings. She usually wears light brown gowns to match her eyes, or clothes with golden trim. Deria has been sheltered most of life. As a child, Eolande spent most of her time in her family garden between her lessons. She is a perfect case of a person experiencing cognitive dissonance, meaning her thoughts are one thing, yet her actions are another. Her thoughts have always been defiant in the sense that she wishes to rise in power, but does not wish to defy the wishes of her husband or disappoint him.

However, it seemed his potential would be wasted in the eyes of many, as at sixteen years of age he elected to join the maesters, against the wishes of his father. He excelled in the Citadel, despite joining at a reltively late age, and within only eight years he was a single link away from earning his chain. Many viewed him as a future Grand Maester, but he left the Citadel to serve his house under mysterious circumstances. He is charismatic and dangerous, there is certainly more than meets the eye to Raemond. The mysteries of his past suggest he may be a man who knows far more about the goings on in Westeros than most, and he is certainly someone to keep an eye on.

Menara Dondarrion
Description & History
Lady Menara Dondarrion
Osgred Selmy
Osgred was in consideration to be knighted, but he declined the honor for some unknown reason. In his younth he was a angry man always living in the shadows of others. He tried often to be his own man, but once he married, such things like taking the field of battle took a back seat to the courts. He kept his wife close, using her influeance to leap himself in politics. 'Old' Cariel Dondarrion can not stomach him and insults him any chance he gets. If it wasnt for the brother and sister love of the Dondarrion family, Osgred would have had an accident that ended him a long time ago.
Name & Position
Ser Ackley Selmy
The only living child of Menara Dondarrion & Osgred Selmy, Ser Ackley spent most of his life in the shadow of his brother, Taric, despite his skill with a blade. The situation only grew worse when Taric was getting ready to inherited his lordship. He grew further and further apart from his brother, who continually gave the loyal Ackley less important roles for the House. Ackley began to become something of a father figure to the younger Haryl, and took it upon himself to train the heir to Blackhaven at arms. They grew close, and when the battles broke out with Dorne, Haryl joined his uncle, partly as a result of Ackley's counsel. Ser Ackley fought at most of the battles against Dorne, as one of the Stormlands most well known and well respected soldiers. Ackley is a good-hearted man, but his temper is fearsome when roused. His brute strength and fury have earned him the nickname "The Hammer".
Ser Ackley Sworn to House Dondarrion
Dalaris of House Mertyns
Dalaris has an upbeat, bubbly personality. She can be rather loud, and extremely talkative, not one to ever be called shy. She hardly ever gets mad, and always tries to see the good in a person, even if they had previously done wrong to her. Dalaris isn't very physically strong. She has almost no knowledge how to use anything other than lady skills, and she can be overpowered rather easily; however, she does think quick on her feet. Dalaris is also guilty of having no filter. She tends to say what she wants, when she wants.

History

The Rhoynar Invasion: The first Dondarrion remembered by history was a messenger for the Storm King, many hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of years ago. Carrying a message of vital importance through the warzone of the Dornish Marches on a stormy night, he was ambushed by a pair of Dornishmen. His horse was killed by an arrow, and he was thrown from the saddle. In the fall, his sword was broken, and he believed death was inevitable. However, as the two men approached to finish him, they were struck down by a bolt of bright purple lightning. He stepped over their corpses, stole one of their mounts, and rode on with great haste. His vital message was delivered on time, and as a reward he was granted the Lordship of Blackhaven by the Storm King, at a vital chokepoint on the Dornish border. To this day, members of the House pride themselves on the swiftness of both their minds and their bodies.

The current status of House Dondarrion emerged during the last year of the Dance of Dragons when, in the hopes of providing further support and stabilizing the region. Marriages were arranged between House Caron and other houses in the Stormlands. One of those unions was between Lord Haryl Dondarrion, the current Lord of Blackhaven, and Lady Deria of House Caron. While perhaps not the most loving or affectionate of marriages, Lady Deria has given her husband children.

Dondarrions have always taken their duties seriously, whether it be protecting the Boneway (for Blackhaven sits on the northern end of the passage) or following the commands of their liege lord and the throne. When King Daeron came south to begin his conquest of Dorne, Blackhaven was given over to the King for his use as a staging ground for what was to come. The house also provided sons to join the King and venture down the Boneway and into battle. Blackhaven’s knowledge of the Boneway would prove to be invaluable. It is certainly expected that House Dondarrion will strive in the future to do all that is asked of them. The Dondarrion name is well-known at court in King’s Landing.
