Most of the Lords of Westeros are gathering at Kings Landing for the wedding. I think there is a tourney to go with it as well.

Also, the letter from Triston is addressed to most Lords in the Seven Kingdoms. Most Westerosi characters here will have received a letter.

Highly condensed summery: King Aerion's wedding is to take place. Most of the higher-up lords in The Seven Kingdoms have come to King's Landing as invited to celebrate, politic, and fulfill their obligations. King Aerion has been troubled by the exile of his two brothers and murder of his parents, and Loras (Lord of Highgarden) fed him a story about how Sansa is to blame. Various meetings insued, including Loron (Lord of Pyke) trying to find if sticking the Tyrells or revolting against them would be more beneficial, Rickon debating with his daughter over her becoming a female knight, and Loras and Steffon (Lord of Storm's End) discussing the possibility of a marriage alliance. At the moment, Jamie (Lord of Casterly Rock), one of the Hightowers, and a Blackwood are arguing in the throne room, Sansa is meeting with an agent of Aerion's (de facto) exiled brother Aemon, Loras is preparing to polish lances and joust with one of his knights, and Lord Robert Tully I believe is back in his chambers. Back in the North, a wilding chieftan and boy with a crystal sword are moving south with intent to raid, and the Night's Watch is trying to sustain his rise out of complete incompetence (By now it's semi-competent).

You could either handle affairs in the North by staying at home (Perhaps taking a trip to the Wall on behalf of your liege-lord, who's whole family is down south at the moment), or you could attend the wedding yourself. Politicking is a possibility, likely on behalf of the Starks, with anybody. On a more personal level, you could intervene in the tussul currently going on in the throne room, investigate the loud thumping noise coming from the room above yours, or perhaps try to pay a visit to get a look at who seems to be the only available bachelorette at this point, Lassa Baratheon-Swann.

Leader: Lord Edric Dayne
Lands: Starfall and the lands that go along with that. House Dayne of Starfall also rules over their cadet branch House Dayne of High Hermitage.
Overlord, if any: House Martell
Coat of Arms:

NS Nation Name: Phalnia
Character Name: Lord Edric Dayne
Nickname, if any: Ned
Title, if any: Lord of Starfall
Age: Forty-three
Gender: Male
House Allegiance: House Dayne
Appearance: Edric is a tall and lean man. His hair is pale blond, nearly white. His eyes are a deep blue and from a certain angle appear purple.
Biography: Lord Edric Dayne is the current lord of Starfall, having inherited the title as a young boy. He grew up in the Dornish castle of Starfall with what remained of his family, namely Allyria Dayne his aunt. The rest of his family had died during or following Robert's Rebellion. His uncle, the famous Arthur Dayne, being slain at the Tower of Joy along with most of Aerys Targaryen's remaining Kingsguard. His aunt, Ashara Dayne, threw herself from the Palestone Tower following the war. Her reasons are disputed and range from grief over the loss of her brother, the stillbirth of her child, or shame of being dishonored by an unknown man. Edric's mother died years later, while giving birth to Edric in 287. His father, the Lord of Starfall, would follow three years later from injuries sustained in a hunting accident. This left only Edric and Allyria as the main branch of House Dayne.

For the next four years Edric was raised in Starfall by loyal house stewards and his aunt. By the time he was seven years old Edric had developed into a kind-hearted boy, well liked by those who knew him. This was also the year Edric's aunt became betrothed to Lord Beric Dondarrion of House Blackhaven. Edric traveled with her to House Blackhaven's seat in the Dornish Marches, where became a page in service to Lord Beric. For three years Edric served as a capable page, running simple errands for Lord Beric. At the age of ten Edric was raised to the rank of squire and began to further his training in combat and the laws of chivalry.

One year later Lord Beric competed at the Hand's tourney, held in honor of Eddard Stark's appointment. Lord Beric was eventually eliminated from the joust by Thoros of Myr. Instead of returning to Blackhaven Beric and Endric reained in King's Landing. He was soon commanded by Lord Stark to lead a force to the Riverlands and bring the King's justice to Gregor Clegane, who had been raiding villages across the countryside. Lord Beric obliged and gathered a host of one hundred and twenty men and rode to the Riverlands. Edric accompanied his master, as is the duty of a squire. Among the force are Thoros of Myr, Ser Gladden Wylde, Lord Lothar Mallery, Ser Marq Piper, Lord Raymun Darry, and Ser Karyl Vance.

After following the Mountain's trail to the Mummer's Ford crossing of the Red Fork, the force was ambushed by men of House Lannister. While, retreating back across the river Lord Beric and his men are taken fro behind by the Mountain and his raiding force. The battle is a disaster, of Beric's one hundred and twenty men barely forty survive. Among the dead are Ser Raymun Darry, Ser Gladden Wylde, Lord Lothar Mallery, and Lord Beric Dondarrion. Edric pulled the fallen body of Lord Beric from the river and stood over him as the battle ensued around them, Edric killed his first man while guarding the body.

At some point during the chaos Thoros of Myr, uttered prayers to the Red God over the body of Lord Beric. To the surprise of all present, Lord Beric is brought back to life. The remnants of the shattered force go on to form the brotherhood without banners, with Edric Dayne continuing to squire for the resurrected Lord Beric. During this time Edric would see his master fall six more times only to be returned to life by Thoros each time, save the last. Lord Beric died for a final time after giving his life to Catelyn Tully following the slaughter at the Twins.

After Lady "Stoneheart's" resurrection and assumption of command over the brotherhood Edric left the group, owing no loyalty to Catelyn or rest of the brotherhood, and becoming increasingly alarmed at the vengeful nature of the new commander. For the next two years Edric made his way south, avoiding bandits and patrols. The few times Edric couldn't avoid battle he proved himself a capable warrior cutting down full grown men and ably escaping pursuers.

By 301AC Edric had returned to Starfall having collected his aunt from Blackhaven and telling her of the death of her betrothed. He tactfully left out the rebirths and multiple deaths. At Starfall Edric assumed control of Starfall and its lands. One of his first actions as the actualized Lord of Starfall wass to order his men to assist in the capture of Gerold "the Darkstar" Dayne, a distant cousin and head of House Dayne's cadet branch at High Hermitage. After nearly four months of hunting Darkstar he was captured by knights of House Dayne and delivered to their overlords the Martells, who quickly beheaded him for his attempted murder of Myrcella.

The knight who captured Gerold Dayne, Ser Sybas Santagar, was greatly rewarded for his deeds by Edric. He was made master-at-arms of Starfall and would eventually wed Lord Edric's aunt, Allyria. For the next twenty nine years Edric has ruled in Starfall, proving himself and fair and honest ruler and loyal bannerman to house Martell. He has in that time taken a wife, Elizba Qorgyle, and raised three children: Tomos, Ashara, and Rache.

Any Additional Information:

NS Nation Name: Phalnia
Character Name: Ser Tomos Dayne
Nickname, if any: N/A
Title, if any: The Sword of the Morning
Age: Twenty-three
Gender: Male
House Allegiance: House Dayne
Appearance: Tomos Dayne is a well-built man, standing a head taller than most men. His hair is fair of color and his eyes are pale blue.
Biography: Tomos Dayne is the eldest child and only son of Lord Edric Dayne and Lady Elizba Dayne. He was raised in the traditional fashion of nobility. He was taught to read and write, to ride a horse, and to wield a sword. By the time he was seven it was clear that Tomos had a gift for swordplay, being able to best all of the boys he would practice against. The next year, Edric arranged for his son to be fostered by the Yronwoods.

For the following six years Tomos served as a page and squire before being knighted for valor at the age of sixteen. After this honor Ser Tomos traveled around the southern half of the realm, never venturing much further than the Stony Sept. His time was spent competing in tourneys and taking work as a hedge knight. However, wherever Tomos wentgo a raven would soon follow. Each letter was the same, Lord Edric would ask Tomos to return to Starfall and assume his place as heir apparent of House Dayne. Tomos would send a reply stating he still needed to see more of the land beyond Dorne.

During the fourth year of his absence, a small tournament was held in honor of Lord Edric fortieth nameday. The entrants consisted mostly of knights sworn to House Dayne and surrounding houses and hedge knights. One such hedge knight quickly garnered much attention and multiple favors from the ladies in attendance. This unknown knight secured victory in the grand melee and went on to win at the lists. When asked to declare a queen of love and beauty, the knight chose a young woman of house Fowler and removed his helm to crown her. To the surprise of the crowd, the mystery knight was revealed as Tomos Dayne.

The next day Tomos was named the Sword of the Morning, having bested all the knights of House Dayne at the previous day's tournament. Accordingly, Tomos was gifted the ancient greatsword Dawn, which had rested within the vaults of Starfall since being returned by Lord Eddard Stark. Since then Tomos has ably served as a knight in his father's service, keeping peace and bringing justice when that fails. Any Additional Information:

So I decided to do some light godmodding in my latest post by having Missandei be in two different time zones at once, namely on day ... One talking to Jaerator and the morning thereafter, ready to interact with Krugmar and Nuridia's characters. I hope thats alright, it just makes things easier if Missandei can interact with multiple people at once so no one is left waiting.

He is; he asked me a bunch of questions about Volantis/the Rhoynar League's assault against Lys/Tyrosh yesterday, so he should have a post up today.

If the attack fails, and Zereno dies (which is entirely a possibility, seeing as he'd much rather die than fail) are the Martells still open?

I hope at least one of the attacks will succeed. Since you wouldn't ally with me I am now cheering for Volantis and Sunstone to wear each other down so that eventually whoever comes out on top will be vulnerable to Ghiscari influence.

The one against Tyrosh entirely depends on how willing Myr/Lorath/Pentos are willing to go with the plan, which I've left up to the OP. The Volantine assault's success depends on how quickly Lys falls and/or how quickly Cithien can dispatch his fleets against Zereno's fleet.

But I wouldn't be cheering for anyone; if Volantis wins it's free to subjugate Lys and Tyrosh as vassal cities and then move onto Qohor and Norvos citing their betrayal of the League and then finally it's fellow League cities. If Aero wins then Myr and Pentos will fall, Volantis will probably rise up in a slave revolt with the nobles retreating behind the Black Walls.

Just to add to this, it seems that most of Westeros is pretty divided on the whole Tyrell-in-charge thing. Most of the North, Riverlands, and Eyrie, as well as half of the Stormlands are anti-Tyrell, everyone else is either pro-Tyrell or neutral. ATM Loras is doing his best to sway as many lords as possible to his cause, while my guy, Maxwell Tyrosus, (Lord of a vassal house to the Baratheons) is doing everything in his power to sway them to the true Targaryens.

Probably. It's just that reading Granadeseret's summary made me realize that making a female character might work pretty well. Thinking of making her from house Wendwater since it has the shittiest sigil I can find.

Biography (At least 2 well written paragraphs) Riliane Wendwater was brought into the world by Cassana Wendwater who died during childbirth, her father Robert who had fallen madly in love with Cassana vowed to never marry again much to the annoyance of his maester and advisers; leaving Riliane to be his heir.

As his only child, Riliane was doted upon and quite frankly spoiled. With Robert hoping that her happiness would transform into kindness and generosity and that she'd become a fair and just ruler when she matured. That did not happen. Instead Riliane has become vain and proud.

In 328AL Robert Wendwater died in his sleep and Riliane succeeded him, becoming the lady of Wendwater. During her short rule she has already became immensely unpopular with the smallfolk for her cruelty and uncaring nature.

Any Additional Information: N/A

Highly condensed summery: King Aerion's wedding is to take place. Most of the higher-up lords in The Seven Kingdoms have come to King's Landing as invited to celebrate, politic, and fulfill their obligations. King Aerion has been troubled by the exile of his two brothers and murder of his parents, and Loras (Lord of Highgarden) fed him a story about how Sansa is to blame. Various meetings insued, including Loron (Lord of Pyke) trying to find if sticking the Tyrells or revolting against them would be more beneficial, Rickon debating with his daughter over her becoming a female knight, and Loras and Steffon (Lord of Storm's End) discussing the possibility of a marriage alliance. At the moment, Jamie (Lord of Casterly Rock), one of the Hightowers, and a Blackwood are arguing in the throne room, Sansa is meeting with an agent of Aerion's (de facto) exiled brother Aemon, Loras is preparing to polish lances and joust with one of his knights, and Lord Robert Tully I believe is back in his chambers. Back in the North, a wilding chieftan and boy with a crystal sword are moving south with intent to raid, and the Night's Watch is trying to sustain his rise out of complete incompetence (By now it's semi-competent).

You could either handle affairs in the North by staying at home (Perhaps taking a trip to the Wall on behalf of your liege-lord, who's whole family is down south at the moment), or you could attend the wedding yourself. Politicking is a possibility, likely on behalf of the Starks, with anybody. On a more personal level, you could intervene in the tussul currently going on in the throne room, investigate the loud thumping noise coming from the room above yours, or perhaps try to pay a visit to get a look at who seems to be the only available bachelorette at this point, Lassa Baratheon-Swann.


Just to add to this, it seems that most of Westeros is pretty divided on the whole Tyrell-in-charge thing.

I am curious--if Storm's End were to declare for the pro-Tyrell faction, how would Lord Maxwell act?

What we cannot overcome, we endure. That basically translates to: we'll just bow our heads and serve you just like all the other lords, but we will constantly be plotting with others who sympathize with us to overthrow you.

OK.

I don't know how to get my character involved in all of this. Ideas?

Might take a second character if I can. Most likely a Tyrell Bannerman
