For thousands of years there has always been an Estermont ruling Greenstone, tales from the age of Heroes tell of an Andal warrior whom ship's had crashed but was saved by a great turtle who brought him to Estermont where he established his House.

| Lord Andrew Estermont | Lord Andrew Estermont
"My brother is a great warrior,a handsome man and a powerful lord, aye, but he has the easy sort of pride that comes with all that. It will yet be his downfall." -Stannis Estermont on his brother
Born 256 AL (aged 31)
Title: Lord of Greenstone, High Lord of Cape Wrath
Marital status: Single
Skill(s):
A born commander (+1 to Naval and Land Battles): Lord Andrew has shown a great prowess when commanding soldiers and ships at his attempts to root out piracy in Cape Wrath.
A skilled warrior (+2 to Duels and +1 to Joust): Growing up in a castle means training in arms since childhood, young Andrew showed skill in it.
Smooth Talker (+1 to charisma): Lord Estermont's gregariousness has made him many friends and yet more lovers.
Victor of Grassy Vale (+1 to Battles): Lord Andrew tested his mettle and won the battle of Grassy Vale alongside Robert Baratheon.
Castle Forged Shortsword (+3 duels): Upon returning from the rebellion Andrew forged a new sword from the metal of his enemies' blades, appropriately he called it "The Black Dread"
Steel Plate Armor (+10hp and +2 Duels): Lord Andrew ordered a new set of mail made for himself.
Appearance: Andrew Estermont is a handsome young Lord with Green eyes and flowing dark brown hair which reaches his shoulders, he has no beard or freckles. Andrew is tall and his military training has earned muscles, he has a scar on his right cheek from chin to ear gained by a pirate dagger. His eyes are green as jade.
Bio: Without any doubt the Lord of Estermont is a warrior first and foremost, growing up as his father's heir he was lectured in administration and history, while he does not lack in understanding it he never gave those disciplines much thought. Good with a lance and better with a sword since very young he was the terror of the other boys in the yard, much to his father's pride. Squiring for Lord Swann in his youth Andrew was knighted at the age of 16 after winning a squire only meele in Stonehelm. When he returned to Greenstone his Lord Father gave him leave to hunt the pirates that plagued Cape Wrath much to Andrew's delight. In a two year campaign he patrolled the Cape, seized pirate ships and eventually hunted them to their strongholds in the Stepstones where his hunt reached it's climax when the young knight dueled and slew the infamous captain Ellario Marosii, although the pirate left him a scar to remember him. Young, handsome, skilled in arms and proven in battle Andrew developed an easy pride and became the spotlight of Greenstone's court. His companions were old friends from his warding times, his brothers in arms and other young knights at Greenstone, foreign dignitaries, merchant daughters, young servants, ladies in waiting and the daughters of his future bannermen were his lovers and his enemy was his younger brother. Stannis and Andrew always had an uneasy relationship that befits a jealous younger brother and the family's golden son, and although Stannis was skilled in arms and lectures he lived his entire life in Andrew's shadow and a rivalry developed among the two. By a stroke of misfortune his parents drowned in a particularly fierce storm when returning from a visit to the Free Cities, this tragedy left Andrew as the family's head. Although the young Lord has showed no particular skill brilliance in administration Greenstone is not brankrupt, yet.

| Ser Stannis Estermont | Ser Stannis Estermont
"An empty headed jackpot if I ever saw one." - Lord Andrew Estermont on his brother
Born 262 AL (aged 25)
Title: Ser
Marital status: Bethroted to Joy Caron
Skill(s):
Thought to beat (+2 to Duels and +1 to Joust): Stannis trained in arms as every other lordling, he proved himself difficult to beat by his fellow squires.
Stubborn (+3 to Survival): Determined and stubborn he will fight to the bitter end and then some more.
Appearance: A strong young man with great strength and skill, black hair, a strong jaw and a thick neck.
Bio: As most second sons oft are Stannis is very jealous of his older brother, the Lord of Greenstone. Spending his youth in the yard while watching his brother being brilliant at just about everything only made him more bitter. Severely lacking Andrew's charisma he has few friends but for his loyal companion Herbert Mertyn, Stannis is hot tempered and serious honestly believing he would be a better lord then his brother. Recently his brother bethrothed Stannis to Joy Caron, six years his elder, what most must have thought of as a cruel jape Stannis embraced the idea assuming it would gain him greater political influence.
