    Default OT: Blackwood Vs Bracken

    There are numerous references to the feud between Jonos Bracken and Tytos Blackwood not least when....
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Jonos Bracken besieged Tytos Blackwood in his castle towards an end of A Feast for Crows


    Is the cause of the feud eventually revealed in a dance with dragons? If so dont tell me, because im currently only half way through it

    Forgive my lack of understanding, but what is the topic supposed to discuss?

    The Brackens and Blackwoods have been at "war" for thousands of years, ever since the time where there were petty kingdoms everywhere. They've been gaining and loosing land from each other since forever. There have been times of peace and friendship of course even intermarriage, but it seems some decades ago in the story some Bracken killed a Blackwood in a tournament, and their hostily was reignited, and continues to this day.

    I personally support the Blackwoods, not only are they one of, if not the only house south of the neck that still follows the Old Gods, but their coat of arms is badass as well And they seem much more "honest" and less "douchebags" than the Brackens.

    The feud is explained much earlier. I don`t know why i should spoiler it, but i`ll do it anyway.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    In ages past both blackwood and bracken were petty kings that often fought against each other. Old habits die hard and so they are still enemies; It didn`t help that the brackens converted to the seven either.

    it's actually further explained in the "hedge knight" (what sulphurion blackfyre said) ,but i guess the base would be what lord said... plus

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    the blackwoods accuse the brackens of having poisoned their ancestral weirwood...that afterwards was only used as a ravens sitting bench thus the castle's name "ravetree or ravenhall"

    ahhhh i see, it all makes sense now though i was expecting it to be a more recent reason. I really hope the hatred those 2 lords have for each other can some how be implemented into the mod

    Maybe a trait called "hates Blackwood/Bracken" and the description is "thinks that the blackwoods/bracken are jerks".

    @Sulfurion Blackfyre: You beat me to it. But yes, all correct.

    @Gurkhal: That won't work because they're part of the same faction. When I make ADWD mod I'll be sure that they're fighting each other though.

    I wasn't thinking about giving any kind of mechanical benefits. Just some trait with a text to declare their hostility to each other.

    everything is explained in DWD, But I root for blackwoods because I am Stark all the way!

    I happen to like both for their own ways. The Blackwoods because they follow the Old Gods, they have an awesome lord, and their history is awesome. I like the Brackens because they seem to just be fighting for what they believe what is theirs by right. It's apparent that Tytos Blackwood couldn't care less about a lot of his lands though. Also, the Brackens have a damn awesome banner. Not that it's better than the Blackwoods.

    Also, Ser Ortho bracken once killed a Lord of Blackwood (from the Hedge Knight). Also, one Targaryen king replaced his Blackwood mistress with a Bracken (the Blackwood was Bloodraven's mother, the Bracken Bittersteel's).
