Winterfell
| Description |
Winterfell ruled by the Kings of Winter was a structure of special significance. It was among the most impressive strongholds of the North though was little more than a motte and bailey constructed of wood with perhaps several towers of pile stone. The First Tower, the largest of the stone structures, was surrounded by the graves of loyal men killed in service to the King. Beneath the sprawling quarters, halls, and wooden constructions lay the ancient crypts of Winterfell, in which all the Starks were buried. The crypts furthest to the back were the only occupied cells, with room for expansion in either direction with careful excavation. The godswood lies within the protective walls of the stronghold with its pools of earth-warmed water.

House Stark, the Kings in the North
Rickard Stark
King of the North
Aged 24 years
Traits: +2 Battles, +2 Duels, +2 Survival
Rickard Stark is the eldest surviving son of King Jon Stark. Rickard's childhood and adolescence was filled with training in the yard and studying the arts of war. He had always considered his future as being one of service to his older brother, the heir to the throne at Winterfell. He has devoted precious little of his time to any courtly politics or training in etiquette, as little as there might be at the court of the King of Winter. As such Rickard presents as one well versed in the arts of war but rather ignorant of politics. He holds his family in the highest of respect and has a great deal of love for him immediate family. Rickard, like the rest of his siblings, is the son of a union between his father Jon Stark and Lady Aliana Bolton, the aunt of Lady Cerenna Bolton of the Dreadfort.

Traits (11 points): +3 Duel, +2 Survival, +3 Battles, +2 Charisma, +2 Pathfinger
If one could what loyalty looked like, House Stark could easily say Errold. Errold was the younger brother of the late King, Jon Stark, and an uncle to his brother's many children. Wherever Jon went, Errold followed him, not as a dog to its master, but as a brother watching his kin. It is said that Errold and Jon were always on good terms, never once arguing save when they drank too much and hurled fists to see who could crack the other's skull open. All the while laughing as they taunted each other and threw good punches to see who could best who. As the years went on, Errold remained in good standings, becoming Jon Stark's right hand and favored commander when the banners were called and the war drums were heard.
The brother of the King hoped to die before Jon's time so that he may never witness his own brother's death. Yet, in the end, Errold witnessed Jon's death. The Stark, full of rage, cut down as many as he could, hoping to somehow save Jon's life and bring him back to Winterfell. The King knew his time was up and gave his final word before passing away. It was Errold who rode to Winterfell, bloodied and torn. It was Errold who laid the crown of the Kings of Winter before Rickard, his nephew. It was Errold who was the first to offer his sword and proclaim Rickard, the King in the North. Even with the passing of his brother, the Stark knew there was still a King in the North to serve. For it was his duty to protect Rickard and serve him just as he did for Jon, his brother.
The Stark is known as a stubborn man and prone to drinking heavily when in the mood. Yet he is well-known for being a strong warrior and capable commander, having served Jon Stark diligently. He is loyal to his household and family, hoping to serve Rickard just as he did for Jon.

THEON STARK
Brother of Rickard Stark, King of Winter
Known to some as "The Quiet Wolf"
AGE: 23
TRAITS:
+3 battles
+2 duels
+1 survival
The third and final son of King Jon Stark, Theon was never expected to hold any responsibility of his own, save perhaps with lifelong service to the Nights Watch. However, since the untimely demise of his eldest brother, he became more committed to his remaining family than ever, something which has only increased thanks to the death of his father. Since his youth, he has been often mocked for his quiet, solemn, and serious nature, which is accentuated even further by the characteristically sombre Stark countenance. Nonetheless he is slow to anger, and his precocious patience allows him to silently observe a situation and then offer good counsel when it is needed.

Lilith Stark
The Winter Rose
Aged 19 years
Traits: Survival +3, Charisma +2
Lilith is the only surviving daughter of Jon Stark, and Princess of Winterfell. As such, she has become an attractive prospect for marriage being the only eligible Stark woman. In her late teens she is reaching the end of her prime marriageable years and will need to make a decision soon, guided by her king of course. Her personality is dark, more akin to her brother Theon than Rickard. She has always given herself over to queer pursuits and studies, such as that of old magic and herb lore.
