Willhelm Ashwood was the only son of his father, David. His mother died in childbirth giving birth to his only living Sister. Since his fathers death, he has ruled House Ashwood for 30 years, fastly urbanising many of the land around White Harbor to Ramsgate. The population under is lordship has doubled under his rule, and he has earned the fealty of many minor houses.
He is a hard man, ruthless in nature. His rule is hard, but just. He is not cruel, but he has his set rules. He usually has no mercy, and he inspires no love in his people, only respect and fear. He spends frugally, and despises the southerners, for what they did to his sister, Eleanor. He is neutral on the matter of honor, putting his house first is his main motive

History of House:
Ashwood is a old house, with its ownership of Whiteharbor and oldcastle spanning several centuries. Nobody really knows how the ashwoods came into existence, the history books only tell us that one house either Stark or Bolton awarded Ashwood White Harbor The previous house, Wyman was destroyed after the only heir was killed in some forgotten battle, and Ashwood was awarded White harbor and all its bannermen, which stretch through the eastcoast
Culture, Customs, and Skills of House:
The ashwoods are renowned ship builders and traders, and its people are the best at ship building. They are great at money keeping, collecting and using. Many of them are honourable, and some not so. They worship the old gods, and the gods wood is one of the biggest in the north. Women aren't as looked down on as in other parts of the world, and some have jobs even in ship building. However, the house is renowned for its extremely harsh laws and regulations, with severe punishments for most crimes, where anything violent from Murder to Rape will get you executed. The wolfs den jails are full of criminals, and House Ashwood has a major problem with lack of space for criminals and tough laws. Many of the people hate them for these rules, as the harshness is known throughout the region. (Note any person may avoid these punishments by taking the black)

Many examples, I have roleplayed in many a region, and even own my own Roleplaying region too!

Denied, no example given, only a Stark would've given you White Harbor, not a Bolton, it's house Manderly not House Wyman, and who is Elaena and what happened to her, add that to the history.

Mursian Space Agency announced
The government have decided, along with many other nations to create a space agency, called the MSA. The space agency will be independent from all others and facilities will be built at the appropriate facilities and a blank check will be handed to the agency. In a years time, we hope to launch the first satallite into space for reconnaissance purpose and anaylayse what the earth and land masses look from space. Billions will be poured into this, and the eventual hope is for the Mursian flag to be on the moon. Those who plan to study space engineering will be given grants to those high enough grades to be succesful. Migrants who have a history in science and space exploration/engineering/knowledge will be fast tracked for a visa. A potential partnership between the Chinese and Mursians to support each other in our space adventures. More on this to come.
OOC:!I under stand it would be more efficient to work with Gram or Infiny, but I prefer to this be a Mursian operation. Help from other nations would be appreciated and will be awarded with information and access to the Operation

Still no population, you still haven't changed your history to show that House Stark gave it to you since the Boltons wouldn't have had that power, and still no RP example. Don't lie to me and just keep throwing up the same app with only one or two small changes. By this point I'm starting to believe you should seek another RP if you're going to keep doing this.

Pirimus wrote:Name of House: House Raelnos

House Banner: A Three Headed Dragon on a Black Field, with an axe embedded in it's second head.

General Description of House: Boqorron the Bull had been a slave in Mantarys until the Doom came, both freeing him, and leaving him a refugee with naught but the monstrous strength granted to him by the pit, his wits, and an axe. It is said, then, that he gathered the other pit slaves and slaughtered their master, taking his riches and entiering his Dragon Pit. None know truly what happened next, none but Boqorron and Ashheart, the Dragon he pulled from the pit. It is believed that he managed to subdue the chained and relatively young Dragon, managing to mount it and fly it out from it's pit. As ash filled the sky, he fled with his small vanguard of pit slaves and fighters, carrying some of the riches of Valyria, gold, jewels and a Greataxe of spell-woven steel. They fled from Mantarys,northeast into the remnants of Ghis, Ashheart slowly growing with his newly given freedom and food. The small mob soon grew into a small army, gathering up slaves recently ''Freed'' by the Doom. This small army of pit fighters and warriors who had seen their homes drown in fire, and their pits of blood washed clean by smoking water marched on along the Road under their new leader, Boqorron, eager for a fresh start, a new home.

Head of House: Boqorron The Bull , 36 years old. He stands at a height above seven feet, almost always clad in heavy, thick armour that lesser men would be scarcely able to move within. He wields the massive Valyrian greataxe wielded by one of his master's ancestors, formed of clean steel upon a massive, reinforced wooden haft. His figure and form are massive, his face a rugged and almost bear like thing with little beauty in it. He is often said to be cruel, but that is not so, instead, he is brutally pragmatic. He will not slaughter a man from boredom, but will not hesistate in beating a thief to death with whatever happened to be near by. He is rarely conversational, and incredibly uneducated, though not stupid by any means. He knows to take counsel when it is offered by a man who knows more than him, and he is in the process of learning to read, though he is reluctant to admit this, and few are aware of it. He rules by a mix of intimidation and the useful practice of ensuring none of his counsellors don't owe him their lives, or are at least terrified of him. His reign is precarious, but it is the only one that could unify the ragtag band of slaves, riding atop an ashen dragon and wielding a blade of old Valyria, but not acting as their old masters had done.

Notable Figures of House: Ashheart, The Dragon of Boqorron, a black, ashen thing, with teeth bright like steel and eyes of dark orange, similar to embers. It's fire is a dark red, verging on blue when concentrated, able to melt flesh and leather with ease, though steel takes a few moments of concentration. Ashheart can eat an entire pig in one mouthful at a stretch, and can carry Boqorron in plate armour for a fair while in flight. Ashheart has a demeanour similar to his master, ruthless but rather genial to those few that have the nerve to approach him asides Boqorron.

History of House: Boqorron escaped his pit during the doom, running through the streets to the sound of breaking chains as the sky burned. He ammassed a following of terrified slaves and pit fighters, leading them from the ruins of the city and out into the world, along the Demon Road, gathering up refugees as they went. They stole from the fleeing people of Valyria, looting caravans and small settlements to sustain themselves in the Journey toward the remains of Ghis, hoping to find a home in Slavers bay, or to die in battle against a fine enough opponents to dignify their death.

Boqorron's aim is to take one of the former cities of the Freehold for his own, Astapor or Meereen if at all possible, taking advantage of the political vacuum left by the Doom. Meereen and Astapor had considered themselves among the heartlands of the Freehold just days ago, but now, they were on their own in the world, their armies sent off as levies or swept away by the great waves cast from the ruins of Valyria. Boqorron hoped this would be enough to allow him to begin conquering at least one of them before they could adjust to the new world. If Astapor were taken, the Unsullied warriors would be at his beck and call, but he would have to fight to have them. Meereen would grant him a glorious stronghold, The closest major city to Valyria, asides Volantis. Thousands of refugees would be pouring in, and that meant many, many new slaves to be bought and sold. Meereen's armies would swell quickly, so Boqorron has only a short time to strike.

In this time, he must reach the city, take it, and consolidate himself. Perhaps, if luck was on his side, he could wed himself into the city, and take it from there. If Meereen was the goal, then Tolos perhaps would be a good starting point. He would be able to blockade the roads from Tolos, holding off the refugees from swelling Meereen's ranks, for a time. If he were to loot Tolos, and free it's people, he would have a significant level of strength with which to take one of the cities of Old Ghis for himself, or at least the Gold to find a position within one.

Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: House Raelnos functions on Might Makes Right. Boqorron leads because he can, and no-one dares oppose him at current. The people have formed into a Rag-Tag army, forming into basic formations under the military advisors of Boqorron, warriors of the Garrison of Mantarys. He leads as a general, taking advice on matters outside of his expertise wherever possible. The soldiers of the House consist of either Pit Fighters or Guard-Slaves, recruited along the road northeast. What they lack in discipline, they make up for in personal skill and ferocity, zealous and eager to destroy those that once kept them as slaves. Their culture is a mixture of almost every culture dominated by Valyria, kept cowed for centuries. Religion is considered something to be practiced quietly in times of peace, those few that would fight over which man/woman/horse was shouting from the sky quickly ending up dead. Honour is of little consequence, in the classical sense, the men will climb through a sewer to stab a man on the privy, gladly, but will always expect their leaders to fight and kill with weaponry and traps, rather than poison or assasins.

The traditions of pit fighting continue on, Violence will often be used to make a show, if possible, victories celebrated gladly and those that can take their victories are revered for it.

Ancestral Estate: Naught but the road under their feet, hopefully eventually Tolos, Astapor or Meereen.
Population: 6000 (Mostly pit slaves and fighters, the excess made up of medical and work slaves who maintain camps and care for the ill.)
Cities: N/A
Race Composition: A mismatch of slaves of all kinds. Commonly Dothraki or vaguely Ibbish, some Rhoynar and Lhazars too.

Military:
Citadels and Fortresses: None
Army: 4000 Men and Women, Mostly Pit Fighters and some classically trained soldiers. 1 Dragon.
Navy: None

You mind just saying this army conquered Mereen, after all it's been a year since the Doom so it's likely he would've struck by now.

The Barge going missing will cause a lot of concern for not just the Iron Bank but for Braavos as a whole, after all the Iron Bank is one of the major institutions that made Braavos great.

Before I start to address my issue.... I would like some opinions over a certain matter. Being that Dorne is primarily Rhoynish in blood and culture, and the Rhoynar people being great adversaries of Valyria.... Would Dorne Celebrate the collapse of Valyria to mock their former foes?

Quite a lot of editing done to include Meereen, do tell me if I've missed something or made a mistake.

Culprum, slavery was outlawed by Westerosi Houses many years ago. It's only done illegally now, House Gardener wouldn't have had any slaves lest they face revolt by their Lords and populace.

Pirimus wrote:Name of House: House Raelnos

House Banner: A Three Headed Dragon on a Black Field, with an axe embedded in it's second head.

General Description of House: Boqorron the Bull had been a slave in Mantarys until the Doom came, both freeing him, and leaving him a refugee with naught but the monstrous strength granted to him by the pit, his wits, and an axe. It is said, then, that he gathered the other pit slaves and slaughtered their master, taking his riches and entiering his Dragon Pit. None know truly what happened next, none but Boqorron and Ashheart, the Dragon he pulled from the pit. It is believed that he managed to subdue the chained and relatively young Dragon, managing to mount it and fly it out from it's pit. As ash filled the sky, he fled with his small vanguard of pit slaves and fighters, carrying some of the riches of Valyria, gold, jewels and a Greataxe of spell-woven steel. They fled from Mantarys,northeast into the remnants of Ghis, Ashheart slowly growing with his newly given freedom and food. The small mob soon grew into a small army, gathering up slaves recently ''Freed'' by the Doom.

Boqorron found himself at the gates of Meereen after the passing of a few months, the city open and relatively unguarded, it's military drawn out across it's entire territory, forced to hold on to their land from encroaching powers newly given Freedom. The army marched toward Meereen, Boqorron atop Ashheart in flight overhead, they assaulted the City as soon as conditions would allow, burning in through the gate and taking a mere moment to mop up the enemy before running to the armories, grabbing what could be found, and turning around to man the walls against the groups of soldiers returning from the surrounding area.

That would sum up the next few months, holding Meereen against outside invaders, intimidating the remains of said invaders into serving their city once more, but this time getting pay, rather than chains. The slave armies of Meereen turned coat slowly, over time, fleeing from their masters to join the Army defending their City. Boqorron has established control over the city, allowing slavery for domestic matters, but offering any slave the oppurtunity to join the military voluntarily, if they happened to be trained enough to fight.

The house rules Meereen, Boqorron possesing the largest cohesive military in the surrounding area, and one of the few Dragons brought east over west. His strength ensures that he remains in control, and the enemies amassing on the borders cannot easily spook his people from under him.

Head of House: Boqorron The Bull , 36 years old. He stands at a height above seven feet, almost always clad in heavy, thick armour that lesser men would be scarcely able to move within. He wields the massive Valyrian greataxe wielded by one of his master's ancestors, formed of clean steel upon a massive, reinforced wooden haft. His figure and form are massive, his face a rugged and almost bear like thing with little beauty in it. He is often said to be cruel, but that is not so, instead, he is brutally pragmatic. He will not slaughter a man from boredom, but will not hesistate in beating a thief to death with whatever happened to be near by. He is rarely conversational, and incredibly uneducated, though not stupid by any means. He knows to take counsel when it is offered by a man who knows more than him, and he is in the process of learning to read, though he is reluctant to admit this, and few are aware of it. He rules Meereen with relative benevolence, enough to keep the people happy, but not quite enough to allow the masters to think him weak. He must remain strong, Yunkai and Astapor loom, their armies mighty and ready.

Notable Figures of House: Ashheart, The Dragon of Boqorron, a black, ashen thing, with teeth bright like steel and eyes of dark orange, similar to embers. It's fire is a dark red, verging on blue when concentrated, able to melt flesh and leather with ease, though steel takes a few moments of concentration. Ashheart can eat an entire pig in one mouthful at a stretch, and can carry Boqorron in plate armour for a fair while in flight. Ashheart has a demeanour similar to his master, ruthless but rather genial to those few that have the nerve to approach him asides Boqorron.

History of House: Boqorron escaped his pit during the doom, running through the streets to the sound of breaking chains as the sky burned. He ammassed a following of terrified slaves and pit fighters, leading them from the ruins of the city and out into the world, along the Demon Road, gathering up refugees as they went. They stole from the fleeing people of Valyria, looting caravans and small settlements to sustain themselves in the Journey toward the remains of Ghis, hoping to find a home in Slavers bay, or to die in battle against a fine enough opponents to dignify their death.

Boqorron's aim was to take one of the former cities of the Freehold for his own, Astapor or Meereen if at all possible, taking advantage of the political vacuum left by the Doom. Meereen and Astapor had considered themselves among the heartlands of the Freehold just days before, but now, they were on their own in the world, their armies sent off as levies or swept away by the great waves cast from the ruins of Valyria. Boqorron had hoped this would be enough to allow him to begin conquering at least one of them before they could adjust to the new world. If Astapor were taken, the Unsullied warriors would be at his beck and call, but he would have to fight to have them. Meereen would grant him a glorious stronghold, The closest major city to Valyria, asides Volantis. Thousands of refugees would be pouring in, and that meant many, many new slaves to be bought and sold. Meereen's armies would swell quickly, so Boqorron had only a short time to strike.

And so he did. He marched the army toward Meereen and took cover in the area around the city. The cities gates were open, waiting to collect refugees, it's military scattered like jacks across their land, struggling to maintain order. The Garrison itself noticed moments too late that the army was attacking and sealed the gate just in time to stop the enemy. Ashheart was set in front of the gate, and began to breath flame upon the gate, turning it to mere embers in a few, horrifyingly tense moments. Once the gates fell, the Dragon was flown above the great walls and landed atop the Pyramid, Boqorron left to fight at the gate, leading his vanguard through the few slave soldiers the city could muster, marching through the streets for a short moment, reaffirming their control of the city. Boqorron took the great Pyramid for himself, Ashheart constructing his nest within the top area, sleeping across from Boqorron, flying out to hunt and harass any soldiers of Meereen that had decided it better to try to retake the city, rather than surrender.

Boqorron took residence as King of Meereen, being crowned by the temple of the Graces in exchange for a promise of protection and conversion. He converted to the worship of the Harpy without so much as a thought, insisting his coronation take place during a Gladiatorial battle. He began to plan his battle, taking the best fighters each noble house could offer, saying they would fight against one another in the pit, and he would give a great honour to the Victor.

He began to refortify the city, recruiting and training militia, paid militia, not slaves, offering to recruit any slaves who had the training. The slaves taken from each noble familly were trained and made to go against the slavers, and then assigned to Guard the men that had beaten them all their lives. It proved an effective strategy to keep the nobles in line. A city of complacent old men can scarcely defend themselves when their defenders have been freed and have tasted the fruits they had been denied.

Boqorron now sits atop his great Pyramid, sharpenning his axe and looking out across his city. The people had taken his arrival rather well, but it was to be expected. Boqorron wouldn't enslave them, he didn't need to, there were plenty of Valyrian refugees for that. He had promised to continue Gladiatorial games, and had kept his promise, he had even cut taxes for a short while as the slaves taken from refugees brought in a large influx of income. His city was happy, the nobles sat with their own defenders holding blades to their throats.

Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: House Raelnos functions based around the fact that Boqorron is the strongest, and has been affirmed as king by the Graces. He rules by keeping the population happy and the nobility cowed. His army is the largest in the Region, and his city is the largest too. Yunkai and Astapor are the only large threats remaining, and so he remains ruler, as his position is one that could hold off the Astaporii and Yunkai'i. Honour exists in a fragmented manner, keeping poisons as disfavourable and cowardly. Assasination is frowned upon, if a man should die, he should die with a weapon in his hand. Fighting is noble, and victorious fighters are revered. Gladiatorial games are popular, and slavery is accepted as normal, though military slaves are almost all freed to fight for their lord in defense of their home. The Meereenese are still rather spooked by the ash on the wind, and are undergoing something of a cultural revolution, as the Freehold has now truly fallen, but they haven't had their own culture in centuries.

Many wish to rebuilt Ghis, others wish to build something new from what could be salvaged of northern Valyria and Slaver's bay.

Name of House: House Umber
House Banner: (If no image, describe)

General Description of House: House Umber is the closet House to the Great Wall of the North. The Keep of the Umbers is known as the Last Holdfast before the Wall. The Umbers were once Kings in the reign of the First men. But now they are the Vassals of Winterfell. Umber is fiercly loyal to their people. The Umbers are often at war with Raiders. The levies of the Umbers are constantly off fighting the raiders and a lot helping the Wall. The Umbers greatly benefit with supplying the Wall with supplies... but they are also planning a new venture to keep the Wall reliant on them.
Head of House: (Name, Age, History, Personality) Lord Odin Umber
Age: 19
History: Lord Odin Umber, 19, son of Lord Hoster Umber and Lady Alynna Stark-Umber, oldest brother of 2 boys and 1 girl. Father of one by Lady Greyson Greyjoy. A bastard. Odin Umber is a patient man. Often planning his strategies well before he launches an attack against his enemy. He learned from his father to never be afraid to raise the sword. He is a just and caring ruler. Also he is not afraid to enforce justice over his lands. His men know he will always lead them into battle. Or be right beside them digging ditches or in the serving line for food. He has often been seen helping clear snow fro the battlments or shoveling shit with the horse master. Always laughing and in a good mood. His hall is never empty with people or Crows who had ventured down from their perch on the Wall. The Lord Commander on the Wall knows that the Umbers will always see them home.
Notable Figures of House: (Name, Age, History, Personality)
Jackson Umber, 17, brother of Odin Umber. Jackson Umber is the Captain of the Umbers guards. He is a cruel and vengeful man. Unlike his brother. Jackson often is seen leading patrols dragging wildings back to the cells below the Keep. Or drinking in the pub.
Andrew Jackson, 10, brother to Odin and Jackson Umber. Andrew is often playing and trainging with the squires of the Umbers knights. He is often riding beside his oldest brother or helping his oldest brother. Andrew loves to play war and carries his toy soldier that his father carved for him. The boy also keeps a raven on his shoulder who often shouts the name of approaching people so the boy always know.
Miranda Umber, 19, Odin Umbers twin sister. Miranda is the unofficial Lady of The Umbers keep and their holdings. She keeps the castle working. But is also often leading patrols around the holdings or overseeing repairs onto the road North to the Wall.

History of House: The Umbers are one of the old Houses of the North. Most think the furthest house in the North. The Umbers are often very loyal and very agressive at war. The Umbers are quick to answer the call of Winterfell. Their people are fiercly loyal to the Umbers. And even whisper that the Umbers should reign again in their own right. As the Kings of the Lost North.
Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: The Umbers often keep to the old ways of Lords Right. The Umbers often hold a feast for their people once a year to welcome in the New Year. And so the Lord can see his people. But often when the Lord is about, he stays with his men encamped or when alone, stays at his peoples homes. Leaves coin for their troubles and thanks them.

Name of House: Goldenfang
House Banner: A black background with two golden fangs on the sides, each curving inwards.
General Description of House: House Goldenfang is a bastard branch of House Gaelyreos (or so Tasigur claims). The House is relatively new and yet that has not stopped its ruler from gaining power in the Stepstones.
Head of House: Tasigur 'the Golden Fang' Goldenfang, Twenty-four years old.

Tasigur grew up in the city of Lys, far away from the land his father lived in. His mother was a noble woman there who had married into a larger family that ruled a portion of the city, much to Tasigur's benefit. When he was just 4 years old he told his mother he wanted to fight just like his father. At the age of 6 he got a private tutor, who began going through the process of teaching him how to fight. Out of all of the weapons he had to choose from, the one he ended up choosing wasn't actually one he was presented. It was a nearby slavemaster's whip, which Tasigur demanded he be allowed to fight with. He started training with it and it was clear he was a natural. He could snap a blade out of your hand or even pull you off your feet without any trouble. When he was just 16 he was attacked by pirates as he attempted to sail to Tyrosh, attempting to visit the city for his stepfather. His whip could be heard all throughout the fight, inspiring fear in the pirates as it cracked through the air. He beat them off and sent them back to their den, where he told them to spread of the word of the Golden Fang. At the age of 18 he had become a story told to scare the little pirate children, as many a few failed to capture his ship that he ran through Tyrosh back to Lys. When he was 19 he attacked the Stepstones with a small army at his back, the soldiers either convinced by him or supplied by his stepfather. Many a few pirates joined him and his cause under the promise of treasures, easily conquering the isles simply by snowballing his attack. He quickly crowned himself King of the Stepstones.

Tasigur is a cruel, conniving character who plots and plans things for his benefit and his benefit only.
Notable Figures of House:
History of House: House Goldenfang is descended from House Gaelyreos, being a bastard branch. It has risen to power from Lys, to the Stepstones.
Culture, Customs, and Skills of House: Valyrian, Incest and the such, and notable for the household guard's use of the whip.
Ancestral Estate: Goldstone, on Isle Bloodstone.
Population: 35,000
Cities: Tasigur's Landing - A city with a population of around 10,000. Not large compared to other cities, though it is large for a Stepstone's city. It is a natural port located on Bloodstone.
Race Composition: Tyroshi/Lysian Pirates

Military:
Citadels and Fortresses: Goldstone - Tasigur's home and best defense. It is a small, yet strong fort that can withstand the brunt of most attacks.
Army: 15,000 (20,000 Will be considered Pirate's families and the likes being moved to the Stepstones, along with Lysian/Tyroshi immigrants.)
Navy: 150 ships.

OOC Info:
Nation Name: Kingdom of the Stepstones
