Ethnicity- Westerosi
Languages- Common Tongue






Traits-


+3 Charisma

+2 Assassin
+2 Battles




Bio-
Zyre was born in the Reach to a minor noble family close to Oldtown. He was the third son of the family and though trained in the arts of war, at the age of 16 he joined The Faith and slowly progressed his way through the the ranks. Zyre was disgusted at how soft the church had become. Heretics and apostates roamed Westeros at will with no censure from the church. Most of the North still worshipped false heathen gods and some of the population even worshipped the damned gods imported from Essos. Zyre was forced to accept the status quo throughout his many years of service even as he became the septon for the Starry Sept itself in Oldtown. However, news of the burning of the Great Sept of Baelor and the death of the High Septon was simply too much for Zyre to bear. With the agreement of the majority of The Faith's leadership after a vote, Zyre was declared High Septon. Righteous anger and zealousness fill his entire being. The Northern heretic even now was said to govern the kingdom, the Great Sept of Baelor lay in ruins, the former High Septon was dead, Kings Landing was filled with heresy, and the North was also filled with heresy. Zyre knew much had been placed on his plate by the Seven, but their will would be done now that a strong man of faith had taken the mantle of High Septon.

[OOC: "Vaith" is a Dornish name. Also a "pope" name might be advisable, something that sounds pious, taken when he became the new High Septon.]

[Gandalfus]

(As I remember, High Septons don't have names. Could be wrong though)

(High Septons don't have names. They go with names like the Holy One or the Simple or whatever)

[Pyrrhus the Molossian]

It was his name prior to becoming High Septon. As High Septon he has no name. It is merely part of the backstory and Vaith is quite close to Faith.

[Dirty Chai]

(Yeah but "Vaith" is a major river in Dorne and the name of the noble house ruling it. It stands to reason that everyone who knows his name is "Vaith" will think he's from Dorne.)

[Pyrrhus the Molossian]

Sure, but it wouldn't be true.

Lady Leona Florent
Lady of Brightwater Keep

Born 229 AC (38)
Status: Unmarried
Children: None acknowledged

Traits (9):
+3 Battles
+2 Survival
+3 Wealth
+1 Charisma

BIOGRAPHY:

Lady Leona Florent wasn’t expected to rule over Brightwater, as being the third child and only daughter born of Lord Leyton Florent and his strangled wife, Lady Melara Fossoway. Her father died in the battle of Wendwater Bridge in 236 AC. His eldest son and heir died of consumption several years afterwards and the youngest found his end in a bout of plague. And thus Leona found herself as Lady of Brightwater, sole holder of the Florent’s large inheritance and wealth. However, not only was she fit to rule but truly good at it: all the debts her father had incurred to have been paid, her lands flourished and the villages and hamlets had soon grown in population and multiplied. She achieved all that and more.

Stubborn, hot-headed but cautious at the same time, Leona is also utterly pragmatic and only believes in superior strength and wealth as keys for ruling over her lands and vassals. Proud and independent she hasn’t taken any men for husband and stubbornly refuses every suitor arriving to her gates seeking her hand. On the other hand she is known to have been infatuated with several handsome men in her retinue; certainly, only few at Brightwater actually believe she is still a virgin. Refusing to appoint any man to lead her host, Lady Leona actually rode at the head of the Florent army during the last Blackfyre rebellion, wearing her silvery armour and commanding them in battle; however she doesn’t wield a sword for he considers it unfitting and completely unnecessary, for Lady Leona has many to wield it for her. Commanding and imperious she prevented a complete rout of her soldiers and managed to save most her host from the debacle following the death of Maelys Blackfyre.

But something shook her world soon afterwards: Aerys II decided to exterminate House Fossoway completely. Herself half a Fossoway, she had to witness as the Crown mercilessly executed her grandfather, uncles and cousins. Secretly she harboured and smuggled some of her kin, like the young Raymun, whom she trusted to her distant cousin Ser Derrick Fossoway, from the Band of Nine. Wrathfully, she has taken an oath to uproot the Targaryen from their twisted throne.

Her heir is a second cousin, sixteen years her junior, Otto Florent, a bookish, timid, thin and rather insignificant young man who stands as the next Lord of Brightwater shall Lady Leona die childless. She despises him greatly and calls him ‘Ser Boldness’. The next in line is his brother, Ser Alester Florent, a most handsome, tall, gregarious and boastful young knight who has already two bastards and intends to father some more. In turn, Alester is called by Lady Leona as ‘my Sweet Fox’ and ‘my fair cousin’ alternatively; many are convinced that she has taken him to bed more than once.

House Brune of the Dyre Den

Crackclaw Point is a small, narrow peninsula (technically a promontory with the way in which its coastlines are mostly cliffs) that sits wedged between the Bay of Crabs and the Blackwater Bay. Across the "crabwater", as the Clawmen call the Bay of Crabs, lies the Vale, and across the "squishwater" (what the Clawmen call the Blackwater) lies the islands of Dragonstone, Claw Isle, Driftmark, and eventually Massey's Hook and the Stormlands. Most people on the peninsula just call their home "the claw".

The claw, then, makes even the most mundane towns, such as Duskendale or Maidenpool, seem like enlightened centers of civilization. Of course, the clawmen don't see it that way. Literate nobles in the claw is largely unheard of, let alone learned individuals. In some villages, people don't even go outside on nights with full moons, for fear of monsters they call "squishers", and the winter solstice is widely believed to be a night when children are kidnapped by the same creatures. Until just a century ago, clawmen were generally incomprehensible in speech, butchering westerosi words and grammar.

Crackclaw is full of rocky hills, caves, bogs, swamps, and pine barrens, thick with deciduous trees and evergreens, stretching on for leagues. Old keeps and rotten mottes dot the landscape, overgrown with moss and lost in the useless terrain. Most villages are along the coastlines, often along the cliffs looking out to sea. Few roads go through the center of the peninsula.. or well, anywhere through the peninsula; The best you can get east of Rook's Rest is some foot paths. For this reason, the Andals never truly conquered the claw, and the nobles here consider themselves First Men, though they're pious worshipers of the Seven and many of them probably don't even know what a Weirwood is. Likewise, the clawmen themselves rarely could unite, and some famous figures are now legendary heroes for having united the peninsula until their deaths. That all ended however when Visenya Targaryen flew over and onto the peninsula, demanding surrender to the Conqueror.. the clawmen bowed their heads and turned in their swords unanimously, and have since called themselves "dragon men" whenever politics are discussed.

House Brune has been the most important house on the peninsula since the arrival of the Targaryens, descending from the Brothers Brune who united the land many centuries ago and supposedly built Dyre Den. True to their nature, at every turn the Brunes and their many vassals took to supporting Targaryens against their foes, and even went "black" during the Dance in favor of Rhaenyra, though highly improper stories persist on the peninsula about her. Most recently, the Brunes fought for the Mad King all the way until the end, when he burned up the Great Sept; though now many clawmen have turned their backs on the dragons, the Brunes still think dragons are better than septons.

The current lord of the Dyre Den and the Crackclaw is one "Duny" Brune, who inherited the Dyre Den a few years back when his uncle Sam fell off the ramparts while pissing off the edge. Duny's cousin Brus was supposed to inherit, it was originally decided, but then Duny reminded the other Brunes that Brus' mother was reputed to be a loose woman and so Brus was, in Duny's words, "basically a bastard". The Brunes agreed, and sent Brus away to "bugger someone else."

Duny currently rules over the many Brune cousins with the help of two influential Dyre Brunes, one Burkle Brune who is Duny's "half-uncle" and one Dick Brune, a second cousin of Duny's. There's also Ben Brune, but "no one likes him and you shouldn't either."

Syrio Forel

Age: 52
Traits:
+3 Duel
+2 Assassination
+3 Battles
+1 Charisma
+3 Survival

Syrio Forel served as the First Sword of Braavos for many years, his keen observation and lightning fast blade being a testament to his skill as a swordsman. However, his easy charm managed to get him into trouble. Caught sleeping with the Sealord's daughter, he fled Braavos - although not before fighting his way out of the city. Many years saw him see most of Westeros, and much of Essos. He spent several years in the Fighting Pits, although he was there as a willing contender, not a slave. With him fame running before him, he grew bored of going from one place to the next, and finally decided to head to Westeros once more, intending to sell his services to a King of some kind.

Bear Island Seat of House Mormont

Jarak Mormont
Age: 35
Lord's Bannerman
Ethnicity- Northman/Wildling
Languages- Common Tongue, Old Tongue

Traits-
+3 Battles
+3 Duels
+3 Survival


Items-
Longclaw VS- +8 Duels


Bio-
Jarak's mother is said to have been a red headed woman from one of the Ice Clans on the Wildlings. She was captured when the Wildlings had attempted to raid Bear Island and she and Jarak's father had fallen in love. Jarak's father was an absolute bear of a man who drank alot and fought when needed. He did little else and had no sense of adventure. Jarak was far different. He explored the sea for months on end and even landed on the Frozen Shore to see what lay Beyond the Wall. Jarak became lord at only 26 years of age and since then he has built Bear Island and its keep into a bustling trade port where the many products of the North are taken enroute to destinations further south or in Essos. Jarak is fairly loyal to House Stark, but hopes his loyal service might be rewarded in time. The freebooting spirit of his youth never left and Jarak seizes upon any exscuse to leave the keep and trek across other lands. Bear Island is not the only reason people refer to Jarak as the Bear, he stands at near 7 feet in height with a great bright red unkempt beard that is always kept long. Though usually a jovial giant of a man, perceived insults and threats are frequently met by brutal violence and extreme anger. Those who wish to live long lives should be careful not to wake the rage of the bear.



Jakor Mormont
Age: 17
Ethnicity- Northman/Wildling
Languages- Common Tongue, Old Tongue

Traits-

+2 Battles
+2 Duels
+1 Survival


Bio- Jakor is Jarak's eldest son and is the heir to the lordship. He has received an extensive education in military tactics and how to use both the sword and the axe with courage and grace. Jakor is frequently given command of Bear Island while his father is away and despite his rather young age he has a fair amount of experience in both battle and administration. Jakor is not quite as large as his father, being rather slimmer in build and only 6 feet tall, but he possesses the same fiery red hair his father does.




Julan Mormont
Age: 16
Ethnicity- Northman/Wildling
Languages- Common Tongue, Old Tongue


Traits-
+2 Assassin
+2 Duels
+1 Survival



Bio-

The younger of Jarak's two children , Julan has avoided what he has described as boring classes such as military tactics in favor of learning how to use the bow, sword, and even throwing knives. He can usually be found skulking about Bear Island in the shadows, hunting game wild game, or practicing with any of the weapons he is beginning to master.



Erac Mormont
Age: 45
Ethnicity- Northman/Wildling
Languages- Common Tongue, Old Tongue


Traits-
+3 Duels
+3 Sea Battles
+3 Survival
+2 Scout


Bio-

The elder cousin of Jarak, Erac has long sailed the waves of the seas of the North. Rarely is the man not aboard of a ship of some kind, and he has repelled numerous Wildling raids from along the Frozen Shore. Scars from the many duels and battles along Bear Island's coast cover Erac, who knows that few would find him handsome after some of the grievous wounds he has suffered.

House Fossoway of Cider Hall

RAYMUN FOSSOWAY
The Little Apple

Born 248 AC
Status: Unmarried.
Children: None.

Traits (6):
+2 Survival.
+1 Wealth.
+1 Charisma.
+1 Duels.
+1 Battles.

BIOGRAPHY:

When Aerys unleashed his wrath over the Reach it fell harder over Cider Hall. House Fossoway was exterminated by royal decree, like Maegor the Cruel had executed the Harroways centuries before. Few managed to escape from the imminent doom: some cousins too distant to be remembered, Derrick, of the Band of Nine, who was far away across the Narrow Sea and Raymun himself. He was merely a boy back then, forcefully spirited away by his parents to prevent his death at the hands of Aerys’ executioners. Timid, red-haired, thin and average in every sense of the word, he found himself at the mercy of the devious and cruel Derrick. The member of the Band of Nine became his warden and Raymun had to suffer abuse, humiliation and the Bad Apple’s legendary moodiness.

Raymun hardened himself under Derrick’s watchful gaze, who trained him brutally in order to become an accomplished rider and duellist. Raymun followed Derrick on their way to King’s Landing and served as his squire during the pitched-battle against Baratheon. With a little relief he watched as the Bad Apple finally met his end at the blades of several Dondarrion men-at-arms. Raymun, in that very moment suddenly realized that finally it was time to restore his house. Cider Hall was his to claim... There wasn’t anyone else to lay such claim after all.

+3 Survival: The sole surviving son of late Lord Harlon and Lady Dean, as strong as his kinsmen of Scorched Vale.

+1 Charisma: Charming, well-connected and powerful.

BIOGRAPHY:

Descending from the First Men, the Hunters are one of the principal houses sworn to Arryn. Powerful and ancient, the house has ruled for centuries from their seat at Longbow Hall. Harrold is the fifth son of Harlan Hunter, his elder brothers being Eon, William, Robert and Jon, all born from the late lord Hunter and his first wife, Lady Deana Hardying. In an unfortunate row of events Eon and William died before their father with Jon succeeding to the lordship. Lord Jon ruled shortly, for he died during the Blackfyre invasion in the assault to Riverrun; hot-headed and bold he forgot to wear the gorget while overseeing the siege works. A crossbowman shot him, dying after some days of agony. His younger brother and heir was also wounded but survived the siege and the war. Alas, his health had been ruined and, crippled, died some months after Maelys perished in battle against Aerys II. The last and youngest son of Lord Harlan thus inherited the lordship after his brother’s early and fateful demise.

Lord Harrold is a dubious individual, sinfully lustful and impious, wrathful and rapacious. However, he is a charming individual and an able administrator of his province, two redeemable traits. He is a rather indecisive and distrustful man, with an almost erratic behavior. Lord Hunter is rather short and slim, his head covered by a curly mane and his face framed by a wispy beard. Hunter's first wife died delivering a stillborn child and Hunter married the second for coin, not love, being a Grafton of Gulltown, one of the wealthiest houses in the Vale. Lady Gella Grafton is a devout and gentle woman, deeply disgusted by her husband’s infidelities and lack of religious zeal. Lord Hunter’s eldest sister was married to Ser Auranne Arryn and thus became mother to Lord Jon Arryn, Warden of the West and Lord of the Vale. She died on childbirth some years ago. Lord Harrold is fiercely protective of his lord and nephew. Currently, his heir is Jeyne Hunter, last child born to late Lord Harrold Hunter and Lady Deana Hardying in 253 AC.
