    Default The Rills, seat of House Ryswell

    The Rills
    seat of House Ryswell



    Household
    Norbert Ryswell, Lord of the Rills

    Norbert Ryswell, Lord of the Rills
    38 years old.

    Norbert was his father's only male son, and inherited his title at a very young age, when Lord Ryswell died battling an Ironborn incursion. A regency council ruled in his stead until he was of age, was composed by his lady mother and the lords of the houses sworn to the Ryswells. During these times the Rills weakened and became home to bandits and raiders. During his youth he became close friend with Duncan Moss, the younger child of Lord Moss
    He properly became Lord Ryswell at the age of seventeen and had a hard time keeping his vassals in check. But he managed to do so with astute political maneuvering, he married Lord Glenmore's daughter and crushed a rebellion attempt by House Ironsmith, with the help of Duncan, who had become his right hand ruling the Rills and the Stoney Shore.
    Years have passed and his lands have been kept under a tight leash while House Ryswell has grown, with the birth of his children.

    Duncan Moss, the Right Hand

    Duncan Moss, Lord Ryswell's right hand
    41 years old

    Duncan is the second son of the late Lord Moss and brother to current actual Lord Moss. He was raised in the Ryswell's keep and he became close friends to Norbert as the two grew up. He would prove to be an invaluable ally, as he convinced his father to fight to the Ryswells during the Ironsmith rebellion and commanded the Moss army which alongside the men of House Ryswell and Glenmore defeated the Ironsmith rebels. Duncan was rewarded with lands close to the Rills and became Norbert's most trusted advisor and friend. Nowadays he lives in the Ryswell keep where he helps Lord Norbert rule the land.

    A terse letter, signed by the equally terse Lord of the Wolfswood, comes by raven.
    My ships are being mustered and will soon be on their way to join the rest at Stony Shore, Lord Ryswell.
