Raventree Hall, Seat of House Blackwood

[The Mad Skylord]

Household

eir own right. They are the bitter enemies of House Bracken, who once attempted to usurp their crown. House Blackwood proudly claims Brynden Bloodraven as a member of their house, honouring the memory of the Great Bastard. Lord Arnolf Blackwood Lord Arnolf Blackwood is a tall and imposing man, standing at 6" 3'. He is the head of House Blackwood. His lineage is quietly disputed - none would dare challenge the vicious and cruel Arnolf to his face - because he is the bastard of the Bloodraven. Brynden Rivers ed his mother - willingly, she would always add - and she gave birth to Arnolf. The main line, Arnolf's cousins, all died in "mysterious accidents" until old Lord Tytos threw himself from Raventree Hall's walls in total despair. His mother acted quickly, requesting legitimization for the bastard - there were no other Blackwoods, so the King agreed. Arnolf is a true Blackwood, he hates the Brackens, and he wishes to see his house's return to glory. His recognisable features are his cloak made from Raven feathers, and the Weirwood bow said to have belonged to his father. His only weakness is his fondness for his children.

[The Mad Skylord]

The maester shuffled into Blackwood's solar, glancing about furtively...

When a heavy chair smashed into the door above his head! The maester was showered with splinters and timber, and a snarling Blackwood confronted him "What is it!?" Flinching in the face of the unbridled ferocity, the old man stuttered slightly. "T-t-tarly h-has accepted y-your t-t-trade, my L-l-lord."

Arnolf Blackwood snarled at that and looked out of the window in fury. Those Bracken bastards. How dare they tax my land?! He turned around, and looked to the terrified maester. "Go and call the light horse to arms. I'll show that Bracken what-for."
