    Default Casterly Rock, Capital of the Westerlands

    House Lannister- HEAR ME ROAR



    Casterly Rock is a fortress, overlooking the harbor of Lannisport and the Sunset Sea. It is the seat of House Lannister.
    The fortress is carved out of a great stone hill and its natural defenses are further enhanced with walls and other structures, In fact, the Rock has never fallen. Legends say Casterly Rock is named for the family that ruled it in the Age of Heroes, the Casterlys, who no longer exist. The Lannisters trace their rule over it back to the Lann the Clever who tricked the Casterlys out of their castle and claimed it for his own.
    Three key rooms within the Rock are the Golden Gallery, the Lion's Mouth and the Hall of Heroes, where the Lannisters and their close kin who have died valiant might be interred. From below the Rock thunder can be heard, where the sea comes in. There is a place called the Stone Garden within the castle



    House History
    House History- The Lannisters have been a house of power and wealth since the days before the Targaryen landing. Serving as Kings of the Westerlands the Lannisters have been known to be a swift judging house, yet not overly unkind or just. Recently the Lord Tyne Lannister has passed, leaving the house under the hands of his oldest son Tytos. (More history is still a WIP)

    Main Characters
    Tytos Lannister, 39, Lord of The Rock


    Tytos (39) is the oldest of the Lannister brothers and Lord of Casterly Rock and the Protector of the West. He is a serious man that rules with a harsh sense of justice yet is generous when needed and warranted. He has been known to dote on his daughter, the prime reason she is not yet married. He loves his family regarding his brothers in the highest place, using them for counsel when needed. His vassals and bannermen have almost all been given cause to respect and love, yet fear his judgment if need be. He has ran the West well, bringing it to flourish in ways it hadn't for decades. He is a man 6'0 tall with golden blond hair. Fighting against raiders and bandits has made him a daunting figure, with a very strong muscular frame.

    Main Characters
    Tybolt Lannister, 28



    Tybolt (28) is the youngest of the four Lannister brothers. He is only several years older than Tytos' oldest son Titus. The young Lannister is the more handsome one of his brothers and is well aware of it. Barring that fact however, Tybolt has always made it a point to practice his swordplay with Tytos and his sailing with Tywin. He even spent time with a mercenary company honing his skills on the field of battle under the name Brightroar. He is a powerful man with a softer sense of justice than his brother. He is afforded the liberty of being jovial more often than his brothers and uses it to remind people that his family may be a lot of things, but human is still one of them. Standing at 5'10 he maintains a strong countenance.

    Andros Lannister, 34

    Andros is the third of the Lannister children. He most resembles his namesake Andros Brax, and that led to some animosity from his father. His brothers however never made him feel an outsider, instead they convinced Tyne to make him Lord of Lannisport. There he helped make Lannisport grow in size and popularity, thus turning more profit. Andros has the Golden Lannister hair, with brown eyes but stands at 5'11 and is of a plushier build than his brothers. Andros is a shrewd man but tends to over think matters. He is often the soft voice of reason with his older brothers.

    Tywin Lannister, 38



    Tywin is the second son of Tyne. Tywin stands at 6'0 and is quite imposing to behold. Tywin has a quick temper and has spent the majority of his life aiding his brothers and their business. Tywin has a mind for war and has spent the last several years sailing in his fathers fleet. He and his brother Tytos are close in age and closer in confidence.

    Titus Lannister, 19

    Titus is the first born of Tytos. The strapping Young Lion has the best of his uncle Tybolts looks and athleticism while also inheriting his fathers stature, intelligence, and strength. He is all that could possibly asked in an heir, except humble. Often fool hardy, arrogant and with a loose tongue, his best of attributes seem wasted on one such as himself. His father attributes his rougher points to the trappings of royalty, with lack of responsibility. Standing at 6'0 his green eyes are flecked with gold.


    Damion Lannister, 19
    Damion is the first son of Andros. Damion Lannister has grown up by his cousin Titus side. Though where Titus is fool hardy and arrogant, Damion is careful and cautious. Damion has always been the caution in Titus ears, he has been the buffer between Tygets sleights and recklessness. Damion is thinner than many of his relatives but quicker than thought of when other gaze upon him. With Crakehall blood on hismothers side, he stands at 6'4 and has green eyes with no golden flakes and still the Lannister Golden hair.


    Andrea Lannister, 18

    With beautiful golden blond elegance she spent her whole childhood dreaming of a marriage that she would live happily ever after in. As she got older and the ways of the world became more apparent, she began to realize what her life was more like to turn out. In turn she has learned the ways of politics and how to talk to the people that others do not pay attention to.


    Lyra Lannister 18


    This young lady is the daughter of Andros Lannister. She is adept at numbers and she is humble. Taking from her father, she is level headed and refuses to let her status go to her head. She is close with her cousins and covets family above all.

    Steffon Stackspear wields his spear with uncanny skill. he maintains two daggers in the case of disarmament, but uses them seldom. He has been fighting since a young age and so he is littered with scars, however his face remains intact, with a large scar from the corner of his jawbone to his temple.

    The Little Lions
    Tyrion Lannister, 15
    Tyrion Lannister is already said to be the more Lordly of Tytos' children. he knows how to speak well to all manner of people and does not believe any to be above of below any others. He knows how to maintain his demeanor however, because although it may not be his belief, he knows his role and he knows how to play it. He is not muscular but not skinny either, maintaining an agile yet strong frame. At 5'9 and the blond hair of the Lannisters he is charming and witty, but he does not leave The Rock much

    Antony Lannister, 15
    As Damion and Titus have become fast friends, so have Antony and Tyrion. Antony cannot take anything serious, seeing as his father and brother do enough of that for him. He spends time at sword play and knife play often not because he lusts for glory of war, but because he thinks its funny to best someone in a duel. He is witty talented and quite the ladies man. He weakness however is his inability to tell when to shut up, which has caused him many a beating from his father. With the Golden hair and emrald eyes of the Lannisters he stands at 5'6.

    A raven arrives carrying a letter, bearing the sigil of House Manderly.

    To Lord Tytos Lannister,

    Greetings and seven blessings to you and your family. I come to you with a trade proposal. White Harbour is particularly known in the North for its fine smiths, especially its silverwork. We would like to expand this market with goldsmithing. As everyone knows, the finest gold comes from Casterly Rock, so I'd like to inquire if the opening of a trade route between White Harbour and Lannisport is possible.

    Helman of House Manderly, Lord of White Harbour, Warden of the White Knife, Shield of the Faith, Defender of the Dispossessed and Knight of the Order of the Green Hand
    OOC: White Harbour/Casterly Rock trade route (timber/gold).

    A raven arrives with frost on its black wings...
    Hail Lord Lannister, the North is wide and its woodlands stretch far to the Wall from the Neck. If you have need of strong timber to guard yourself against the ships of the West we would welcome trade with the richest of realms.
    Beron Stark, Steward of Winterfell

    A host of 100 knights clad in rode through the lands of the Lannisters. They carried the coat-of-arms of House Reyne, with the roaring red lion on argent. At the front was the Old Lion himself, Lord Wallace Reyne. The latest news had been troubling, most troubling indeed. Dragon against dragon once again, and the Reach had already chosen the usurper's side. It wouldn't be long before the rest of the kingdoms would do the same. What would the Western lions do? Wallace had no idea, but he had seen Daemon and Tytos being very chatty at the king's wedding. Was Tytos really so bold that he would follow this young man? Bold, or... calculating? He needed answers.

    They stopped at Casterly Rock and asked for an audience with the Lord Paramount.
