just problems with Stormlands, since Baratheon guy left before he wrote anything big, then he returned, all the time only whined about details and didn't write anything else before he left again![]()
in addition, Stormlands also needs more secondary houses, it seems.

Actually have that ready and waiting here:
House APP:
House Name: House Caron
Sigil:
Head of House: Lord Conor 'the Night Lord' Caron, Lord of the Dornish Marches and Nightsong, aged 17; reserved, quiet, mild-mannered and mature despite his youth. Behind this facade though Conor is a ruthless, cruel and cunning warlord with an ability to get results. Highly intelligent he's a cold man, whom while capable of great patience and diligence refuses to tolerate fools and 'lessers' who get in the way of his grand ambitions for power. And is notable for his immense pride, and is known to always 'get his dues' when it comes to a slight whether it be through an assassins blade of burning down a holdfast or two....
At the same time Conor is a noted cynic and scholar. Noted for his love of books and knowledge, he is perhaps one of the more respected scholars in the Seven Kingdoms. As well to go with his cool and reserved nature he practices a very pragmatic albeit self-interested philosophy.
Appearance wise, Conor is a man of average height. Lean, slender and lithe in comparison to his muscular relatives, though still more then deadly. His skin is oddly pale, to add his face is clean shaven and oval in shape, with a straight nose, and a single piercing almond shaped hazel eye like a vipers. The other was lost in battle and covered by a silken black eye patch. He has a head of neatly kept dark black hair. Furthermore Conor prefers to dress in elegant black robes, trimmed or lined with gold. He wears a suit of magnificent ebony armour in battle, inlaid with gold in the shape of elaborate vine-and-leaf patterns, his helm has a plume of black feathers sprouting from it.
Relevant House Members:
Lady Vitoria Estermont, aged 48, wife of the late Phillip Caron, she’d been his lover prior to their marriage resulting in the birth of their son Conor out of wedlock. She however soon after married to Phillip and has since been a welcome member of the family. Described as haughty and wrathful to her foes she’s a very proud woman with little regard for fools. To add it's widely noted that she often runs the Hightowers finances alongside her brother-in-law Stefan Caron for the family with great skill. Physically she’s described as short, round faced, with almond shaped brown eyes and dark brown hair.
Ser Stefan Caron, aged 49, son of Lord Rolland and Lady Carellen, and uncle of Lord Conor he is a fat and jovial man noted for his amiable and carefree nature. To add as his immense bulk shows he’s a notorious glutton for feed, and is also noted for his carnal desires. Despite his joviality makes him less than useful at times when it comes to more serious affairs, however despite this he is a skilled steward and is noted for handling the Caron's economic affairs alongside his sister-in-law Vitoria. Physically a fat and round man, he has double chins and attempts to hide them beneath of a greying beard of black hair. To add never seen without a smile on his face he is often said to possess a rosy glow to him, though many allege this of him being too far in his cups. He is the last of Conor's surviving uncles since the Bloody Night.
Lady Dacey Selmy, aged 44, estranged and depressed wife of Ser Stefan she had an unhappy marriage with her husband and has since returned to Harvest Hall to be away from her problems. She is described as being fat, blond and sour faced.
Lady Elia Caron, aged 18, daughter of Ser Stefan and Lady Dacey, she is described as one of the most ravishing women in the Reach. Amiable and sophisticated she however is also far too trusting and kind for her own good. Furthermore a rather naïve person at times she is a close friend to her cousin the young Lord Conor and worships her aunt the Lady Vitoria despite their obvious personality gaps.Physically described as short and slender though shapely with straight brown hair, big brown eyes with a ravishing appearance she is considered one of the most desirable women in the Stormlands. Furthermore she is often seen wearing the richest clothes of brilliantly coloured Myrish and Lysene laces and silks.
Ser Jack Caron, aged 16, called the 'Butcherbird' due to his short height he is also noted for his particularly violent short temper to boot. Murderous with a morning star and nearly any other weapon at his disposal is a skilled fighter, having squired for his uncle Lord Phillip and later Conor. However his tutelage hasn’t seemed to put upon him the values of patience, reservation or self-control. Notably moody, he is altogether a confrontational man whom while he can show great empathy for his family can also be distant and melancholic and utterly cruel towards others. To add he like his grandfather and uncle he possesses great strength.Physically a short man, stout yet muscular in build he has a set of mean looking eyes and a clean shaven face and usually wears a very angry expression upon it. To add never seen without a suit of armour on he is more than skilled at arms though he lacks an ability for strategy.
House Seat: Nightsong
House's Faith: (Baratheons must be R'hllor, Greyjoys Drowned God and Starks Old Gods). Faith of the Seven
Military Forces: (Again within reason) 12,000 (we are the Marcher Lords)
Sworn Houses: Swann, Selmy, Dondarrion
Events within the House in the 60 years between the OP history and the RP: House Caron, or rather is sole surviving member Rolland Storm was rewarded by Stannis Baratheon after the coming of Daenarys. Legitimized as Rolland Caron, he was made Lord of Nightsong and the Dornish Marches as had been House Carons right for generations. The Caron's would fight alongside and survive the Battle of the Trident against the Others although losing an eye in the process. For his service he served as Master of Arms at Storms End, and married to Lady Carellen Smallwood of the Riverlands for good measure.
Since then the family has grown through the fertile line of Rolland and Carellen. Boasting five sons and two daughters the Caron's power and prestige through several advantageous marriages and so forth. However after Lord Rolland's death at the age of 84 the family would see a much different era take shape for the House. Lord Warryn Caron would barely last a fortnight after his father, dying from a blow to the head in the melee to celebrate his coming to the Lordship. Soon after the family superseded Warryn's son Jared in favour of the more mature, stoic and martial Ser Phillip 'the Upright' as Lord.
This resulted in a feud with Warryn's estranged widow Lady Danna's family House Grandison. This resulted in a decade of brutal infighting in the Stormlands not settled until the coming of the current Lord Conor. Despite the feud Lord Phillip ruled prudently, and wisely alas despite legitimizing his son Conor Storm-born to his lover and later wife Lady Vitoria Estermont- his death of a chill would result in further despair for the family.
Like the situation to follow the death of Lord Warryn the death of Lord Phillip resulted in a rather muddled issue of succession. Lord Conor only 14 at the time seemed unlikely to be able to wield power and thus his grasping uncles attempted to place themselves in charge of the family. However they were circumvented by Lord Conor who made an offer of marriage to family's rivals House Grandison as to sick them on his encamped uncles mustering their forces at Blackhaven and end the family feud now that Lady Danna was dead. The result was simple two of his surviving uncles were killed in a rout, along with three cousins and their army scattered. However as Conor mustered his forces to march to meet the Grandisons his exiled cousin Jared turned them on the Caron's and killed his cousins envoys.
Ensconcing himself at the Black March with his army of Grandisons and the remnants of his uncles freebooting troops. Taking advantage of this Lord Conor had several caravans bearing wine be intercepted by the enemy and waited for his foes to get good and drunk. What followed was the Night of Blood in which under the cover of darkness the much smaller Caron host snuck upon the drunken army of Jared and attacked, annihilating them. In the fray Jared was killed rumoured to have been ridden down by Lord Conor himself resulting in the loss of his eye. Whatever the case the results were startling Conor destroyed his foes in a single blow and earned himself the moniker 'the Night Lord' and soon after taking advantage of the situation had Grandview the Grandisons castle burnt and took several of their youth hostage to further cement his authority.
However the triumph of Grandview while awakening many to the authority of House Caron's young Lord it was followed by same issues. While convalescing from the loss of his eye Conor's authority was nearly usurped by his maternal relatives, House Estermont. The death of his grandfather would result in the ascension of his uncle the odious Lord Petyr as head of the Estermont's. Vain and grasping for power, Petyr plotted to force Conor into a permanent regency under himself and struck suddenly with his equally vile son Morwyn whom had threatened to flay Conor alive and burn Nightsong to ash. Marching on the Dornish they managed to allude the Caron outposts and struck at Nightsong putting the castle under the siege and loudly demanding Conor surrender to him. Stating he would not harm a hair on his nephews head. To which Conor replied when he defeated his uncle and cousin that a drop of their blood would touch the earth.
However Conor was far from eager to do so. Instead sending out his bannermen he endlessly harassed the Estermont siege lines while silently digging tunnels beneath the enemy lines. Finally after weeks under siege Conor struck riding out his forces he correctly guessed his impatient cousin would ride out to meet him he meanwhile sent 500 men at arms through the tunnels to strike at the now undefended Estermont camp. The battle itself was murderous with the Caron sappers and infiltrators struck the rear whilst the Caron heavy cavalry engaged the Estermont's and the castles arrow slits rained death from above. Eventually though the Caron's emerged triumphant when Lord Petyr fled disguising himself as a man-at-arms only to be murdered for the gold rings he kept by a hedge knight. As for his cousin Conor was true to his word, later that night the man was mysteriously wrapped in a carpet and found bludgeoned to death, not a drop of his blood touched the ground.
Since then Conor has ruled absolute. The Estermont's, and Grandisons laid low before him and House Caron has flourished ever since. After what's a little blood compared to the glory of the family?

They have no major naval aggressors, since the fleet at Dragonstone was destroyed. They could simply order the Royal Fleet to sail up to Moat Cailin and then down to Blackwater Bay.

Or if the Twins hold out against them they could besiege it. Build rafts to get some troops to the other side and then use catapults, rams, and ladders to capture the Keeps on either side and then raze them and annex the lands to the north to prevent it from happening again. or just go down to Darry and smash up that place if they refuse the army the ability to cross. Regardless, its hard to tell an army "NO" to something.
like the Twins and the Ruby Ford and the forces deployed there.

Oh ok that makes sense, but why didn't the fleet sail for White Harbor? It's legitimate port would make loading and unloading easier.
