I'll probably keep him around, since someone has to make more Greyjoys and Theon can't.


Theon had a son Robb to act as Asha's heir...right now this Robb is either your 54 year old head of house or dead which typically happens a lot to raiders.

That's one Greyjoy. One.

And given how the Iron Islands is probably the most violent place in Westeros, well, more house members is always good.

Although I doubt he'd have many kids, given that he doesn't have any and he's like 50.

Also what's the year, since there's a distinct lack of year-based references in the OP and I CBA to cross-reference them all.

House Name: House Tully of Riverrun

House Sigil:
Image


Head of House:
Image

79 years old - Edmure was born as the third child and only living son of Hoster Tully and Minisa Whent. His mother died when he was very young. As a youth, he was known as hot-headed but good-hearted. He had a number of friends who had similar characteristics, most notably Marq Piper. The young Edmure once broke his arm after falling from an elm in Riverrun's godswood. He often went wenching and had a number of affairs. In one case, he had drunk too much and was unable to "perform". A singer, Tom of Sevens, made a mocking song about Edmure, which mentioned a "floppy fish", causing him to develop a dislike of singers in general.


Relevant House Members:
Image

60 years old - Roslin is small. She has very white skin, a pretty face with a small chin, delicate nose, and big brown eyes. Between her teeth she has a small gap. Her hair is brown and reaches her waist. According to Lothar Frey, Roslin has a gentle nature and a talent for music.


The lord's descendants:

Image
40 years old - Lord of The Crossing, he was described as a cold man, and strict towards his five children. He traces his lineage back to Axel Tully, and he's the leader of the Raiders of the Red Fork. He is married to Princess Daenerys Martell, he has five children with her and his daughter Jeyne remembers him as being heavy handed with discipline, once striking Eddard "so hard that the welt from the ruby stone on his ring lasted over a month.


Image
37 years old - His elder brother, Hoster Tully, was heir to Riverrun and from an early age Eddard's feelings of inadequacy drove him to feverish performances in his lessons, both in swordplay and in lordly matters. Blood, however, is precious to the Tullys, and despite their frequent bouts Eddard and Eddard were close, learning the ways of war and rule together. He's the current Lord of Darry and father of twins.


Image
35 years old - Wife of Lord Paege of Harrenhall. He actually resides in Harrenhall with his husband and children.


Image
29 years old - Brandon was born and raised at Harrenhall. When Brandon came of age, Edmure appointed him Lord of Stone Hedge. Like most of his house, Brandon was a large man, standing muscular at six foot six with red hair, and blue eyes. Brandon is the father of Patrek Tully, a hedge knight. Brandon's weapon of choice was a large two-handed sword named Sharpflakes. Using his blade, Brandon was said to be able to cut men in half with one swing. He was described as an honorable man with a kind heart but a quick temper. He's the current Lord of the Bay of Claws.


Image
24 years old - Robb used to serve the Tullys of Darry in his younghood as an advisor on the Lords' counsel but now he's the Lord of Stone Hedge. He has nine children with his wife, Barbara Bracken.


Image
21 years old - Brynden was fostered at Riverrun as a boy. He is described as kind, though he has a penchant for drinking and whoring and has shown himself to be at times without much honor or intellect. He was appointed the castellan of Harrenhal after a discussion with his father. He styled himself Lord Fieldstone in private, as a means to impress women. If he marry, He'll be named lord of the ancient land of Lychester


Image
18 years old - Alannys is the second daughter of Lord Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey, and their youngest child. She is a headstrong woman and a talented archer. She is a buxom woman with wide hips and long legs that let her stride alongside any man and match his pace easily. She was fortunate to look more like her father than her mother.

House History over the past 50 Years: After the war, the destruction in the Riverlands leveled up to 60 percent. The main cities in an unprecedented wave of destruction prompted by the no less unprecedented barbarity of the Invaders. In a seemingly endless catalogue of annihilation, Riverrun, Fairmarket, The Twins, Seagard, Acornhall, Elmscross and many other cities were all devastated.

Never before had so much been lost -- and, yet, never before were there so many new beginnings. Never before had an entire region been rebuilt. The Riverlands's phoenix-like resurrection from the inferno resembled to the restauration of the Targaryen Dinasty: Another 70 percent of the country's historic castles and manors were simply rebuilt and some of them make way for a new series of Castles and Fortresses.

The reconstruction of the Riverlands lasted many years, after Edmure liberation and It wouldn't be possible without assistance of Iron Throne's gold.

House History over the past 50 Years: After the Boltons' defeat, Edmure Tully escaped from the Frey's captivity with the help of his father Hoster Tully. Both planned the reconquest of the Riverlands with the help of the Golden Company.

While confronting The Frey's in Riverrun, The Frey's noticed that the Tully's had contracted the Golden Company. During a tense exchange within the gates. At the end they expelled them from the city. While Hoster and the bulk of his forces were occupied in the South, the Golden Company seized the Twins with the help of Roslin Frey and a group of Rebels from the North. Though the Riverlands were pacified and the Lannisters expelled from Darry, an important number of the ancient families from the Riverlands became extinct.

Edmure proved charismatic and wellspoken, very unlike most Tullys, causing many to joke he was more Whent than Tully. He united Tully and the Mercenary forces from Essos to siege Riverrun. No-one is quite sure how Edmure managed to get the Frey's to hand over the Tully ancestral seat, but it is known that he did so simply by talking his way into it. The Riverlands were desolated after the war ended but he decided to rebuilt the old fortress of Harrenhall and the city of Darry as symbol of the reconstruction of the Riverlands.

Yes, the Tully sided with the Targaryen during the Invasion of Westeros. Edmure will escape from the Lannisters then. Hoster died? I thought he was ill.

Well, the Tullys siding with them seems unlikely, considering that they drove them out in the first place in Robert's Rebellion. And yes, Hoster died. In A Storm of Swords.

I don't read the 1200 pages books, If I'm honest I prefer Tolkien and the HBO series. I know is not the same as the books but at least is a good synthesis. I'll fix the thing

House Name: House Greyjoy

House Sigil:
[img]http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/f/f3/Greyjoy_coat_sigil.png
[/img]


Head of House: Robb Greyjoy, 54. Robb Greyjoy has often been described as an enigma by many of the greenland lords; a patient and ever calm man, which is not something they would expect from an Ironborn. Exceedingly difficult to anger, but fearsome when roused, Robb claims (and has justified reason for doing so) to be the best living naval commander in Westeros. Proud, and has little taste for greenlander politics. Strongly resents Aegon for stealing his glory in the second Essosi war.

Relevant House Members
Quellon Greyjoy, 29. Son of Robb Greyjoy and Lynne Greyjoy née Blacktyde (deceased). Takes after his father in many ways. Short-tempered, rash and extremely unpredictable. Better captain than his father, but lacks his experience and strategic sense. 

Asha Greyjoy née Harlaw, 26. Quellon's faithful wife. Deeply loyal and a good steward. Much kinder and less prone to rash action than her husband.

Rickard Greyjoy, 8, their son. Aspires to be a great warrior someday, just like his father and grandfather.

Dagmar Greyjoy, 5. Their second son.

Other Household Members
Borres Cleftjaw, Captain of the Iron Fleet
Dyke the Ten-Fingered Codd, Captain
Ramsae Blacktyde, Captain
Gerard the Thrice-Sunk, Drowned Priest and Captain


House Seat: Pyke

House Faith: The Drowned God

Sworn Houses

House Strength: 20,000 men, 500 Longships, 100 Iron Fleet Longships

House History over the past 50 Years: House Greyjoy ended the Long Night in the worst state it had ever been in. The Iron Fleet had obliterated itself, Victarion had died leading their forces during the War for the Dawn, and the only living male was a eunuch.

However, Asha proved herself to be a decisive leader. New longships were built, and the reaving began again, but this time they struck the distant Summer Isles as well as the Free Cities. Wealth was brought back, wealth that was used to rebuild the Iron Fleet back to it's former glory or just hoarded.

She taught Theon's son Robb everything that she knew before her death in 331. Robb, eager for a taste of battle, took his longship, the Flaming Sea, along with a few others, to join Rhaegar's fleet. Posted to protect the fleet's supply ships, most of his longships were sunk during the Battle of the Gulf of Grief driving back the Ghiscari fleet, as he wasn't used to dealing with Essosi ships. A second Ghiscari forced him to retreat, lacking the numbers to hold them off following their combining with other fleets and his losses in the first battle.

Robb was blamed for the defeat in the first 'Essosi War' and retired to the Iron Islands, often going on extended reavings out to Slaver's Bay, learning how to deal with Essosi ships and their strange oar arrangements. Jacherys asked him to lead part of his fleet during the second Essosi War while he was in King's Landing, and Robb accepted readily, sending the Flaming Sea to bring the Iron Fleet to reinforce Jacherys' forces. He landed with  Jacherys and while he marched overland to besiege Tyrosh, Robb led the Royal Fleet to blockade Tyrosh, destroying the small Volantine fleet left behind.

Robb spent the rest of the war blockading Lys, and ensuring the remaining Volantine-Ghiscari ships remained blockaded in port before sailing home once again in defeat, and spent the last few years writing up a book on the two wars from his perspective, with the help of a Maester.

RP Example: You know me, but I'll get one if needed. Just feeling lazy.

Yeah, but it was still close enough to canon to be good. From the sounds of it though, by 5 it's spiraling out of control.

5 was an absolute mess. If you don't know what they have Jaime and Bronn doing, all the better.

House Strength: Around 40,000 soldiers and 100 ships

House History over the past 50 Years: The Lannister's position at the end of the war of 5 kings could politely be described as a dumpster fire. Kinslaying, kingslaying, dead children, no obvious heirs, the war itself also left a stain on the Lannister name. The Westerlands seemed on the brink of civil war, with the various branches of the house claiming the title of lord of the west. Thankfully before tensions reached a boiling point a great meeting was called and all senior members of the Lannister household gathered together to reach a decision. Eventually Daven Lannister was chosen, already being warden of the west and having experience commanding armies being styled the conquer of the Riverlands after he won Riverrun. Daven was a cautious and prudent ruler, relying on common sense to rule. During his reign he managed to heal the Westerlands after the burdens of war and somewhat managed to restore the name of Lannister in the eyes of the other houses. In the years after his passing Darreth has continued his work, renowned for being stable and reliable.

Notes:

S13

Character Name: Loreon Lannister

Age: 47

Physical Description: Male of taller than average height with grey hair of medium length and strong features. (Looks a bit like John Major)

Seat Desired: Any really I'll put down Master of whispers since there are no other applicants for it but he'd suit any seat.

Qualifications: Generally well respected across Westeros, hard working, intelligent, loyal, charming so he is quick to gain people's trust.

Short Bio: Loreon was born into an unstable realm, when it seemed like the Lannister household may be extinguished for good or at the very least demoted to being a minor house. This upbringing left it's mark on Loreon as he grew to become cautious and prudent, favouring safety and stability. As an only child his swordsmanship training was overlooked, seeming dangerous. Instead a "proper education" was favoured, prioritising books over swords. Loreon became lord of the Westerlands when he was 29 and has ruled ever since, slowly becoming a respected ruler.

Out of curiosity, would anyone like a member of their house to have married one of Arianne's sons? Her oldest, Oberyn, has been dead for a year (he was fifty-one when he died), but her second oldest, Aegon (45) is still alive.
