Like I said I didn't specifically mean the conversation as it was unavoidable. However only 4 of the ten are even the conversation with Darklyn.

Anyway will you keep to canon in having close ties with my house? In my house description and ties I even mention that the Harlaws support either a Greyjoy or Harlaw usurping the Hoares and becoming King.
Essentially our houses are the great houses of the Iron Islands and we both have a long history of alliance since the war of the 100 sons of the grey king. So essentially for thousands of years. What do you think, are we best friends?

Leader: Lord Rickar Rae
Religion: Faith of the Seven, though with the traditional Dornish flavor
Brief Description of Diplomatic Relations: House Rae is considered an honorable and highly liked house. Though strategically it is a very minor house it was a relatively powerful house in the centuries lost. With a stretch of turf a distance west of Godsgrace the ancient hold of the Rae is the Burnt Keep of Raeton.
Military State of Readiness: A small force, like most other houses they require wartime levies for any real military maneuvers, however it's force is rather strong currently.
History: House Rae has fluctuated in power throughout time. At one time the Rae's held only a village on the edge of the scourge river, at another they held many castles and towns and multiple lords were their vassals. For the last hundred years House Rae has ruled from Raeton with little trouble. However it is known as the burned keep for a reason. The northern and eastern faces of the once pale stones are now scarred black from Raeton Purge. A collection of mad pyromancers spread their vile flames across the town and onto the castle itself. These pyromancers, one a former lover of the lord, gathered a force built under fear and assaulted the keep. Only with the aide of several nearby houses were the Raeton's saved, however the town and castle would forever hold the shaming scar that house Rae had been unable to save themselves from a conflict born of their own lust for paramours and control over magicians.
Since then the house has been in steady decline, it's lords willing to do anything to simply retain an income for themselves. Rae no longer has any vassals and thus it's status as a strong member of the Kingdom of Dorne has ended the slowest and most painful of ways.
However now seemingly at their lowest point since the inception of their house, Lord Rickar Rae now seeks to reset the path his house follows. The lands of Westeros are changing, Rickar can feel it, a perfect chance for Rae to morph and once again take the reigns of power it rightfully deserves.

Leader: Captain Matamon Rahaleos
Religion: Valyrian
Brief Description of Diplomatic Relations: Poor enough with the Dothraki that no-one in Essos is willing to risk hiring them. Neutral otherwise
Military State of Readiness: 100% ready
History: The Golden Shields were formed following the Doom of Valyria by a very minor noble house living in Essaria. Daevar Rahaleos, the patriarch of the family, knew that with Valyria gone there would be an outbreak of violence not seen in five milenia. To his mind, he could either struggle with other noble families and merchants for every scrap of power, or he could profit at the expense of everyone. He chose the latter.
Being a learned man, Daevar decided that his new force should imitate the old Lockstep Legions of Ghis, who were never defeated by foot soldiers or cavalry, only by dragons, and those were in rare supply now. He gathered together all the members of his family he could, along with all the members of any other Valyrian families and bastards who had Valyrian blood in them, and formed the Silver Shields.
The company grew and evolved over the course of the Century of Blood. It became a symbol of Valyria for those Valyrians who were not great enough to feature in the power struggles of the age, and so they joined, increasing the number of Valyrians in the company. Daevar and his descendants used a series of close-kin marriages interspersed with marriages to more distantly related or almost entirely unrelated families. This kept the bloodline of Valyria more or less pure, but was thought in the long term to avoid any problems of inbreeding.
The company changed with the coming of the Dothraki and the destruction of Essaria, which was like home to many of the families. In order to more effectively deal with the horse lords, the company reorganized into shield troops and missile troops, so that they could essentially form a fortress on the march and hide behind it, using missile weapons to pick off the Dothraki at leisure. Wagons were usually also incorporated into any defensive circle, their wooden sides providing extra protection for crossbowmen and non-combatants.
While at present there are just under seven hundred fighting men in the company, the company in truth consists of nearly six thousand people. These people are the families of the soldiers, almost all of Valyrian descent, and supply the miscellaneous skills needed to make an army run, as well as supply soldiers for the company. Non-combatant family members are Cook's and surgeons, smiths and fletchers, blacksmiths and sutlers. The company is, in essence, a mobile militarized town.
A couple of months prior, while the company was marching from Mantarys to Volantis, they encountered Khal Toro out for a pleasure ride with five thousand riders. Seeing the dust from the Khal's retinue coming, the company formed the wagons into a circle, chained the wheels together and used their pavises to block up the gaps between the wagons. The Khal and his riders crashed against the wagon fort again and again, until three thousand Dothraki lay dead or wounded, including the Khal and all his bloodriders. The company lost two hundred fighting men to death or wounds from that right, and another four hundred non-combatants, because everyone had been required to help defend the laager.
Matamon cut the braid from Khal Toro and fixed it to his standard, but wasted no time and fleeing to Volantis. As word of their victory spread, so too did word that Toro's son, Froqo, was now Khal and was seeking revenge. Volantis, not wishing to contend with the Dothraki, expelled the company from the city. None of the other cities showed any more inclination to let the company stay within their walls, although they did provide markets and some merchants paid the company money to leave the vicinity of the city.
At last, Matamon has decided to sail to Westeros, where the Dothraki will not go, and where it is possible that the Targaryens might have work for some fellow Valyrians. If not in direct employ, then perhaps in The service of someone the Targaryens might like betrayed at an opportune moment.
Castles, Cities, and Infrastructure: The fortified camp they make whenever they finish a day's march, or the temporary fortress they make if they're in an area for any period of time.
Company Officers: Maehagor Malaeris, Visegaron Rahaleos, Aeragarys Rahitheos, Tahaenar Rahaleos, Raenesella Gondaerys, Nelaesella Rahaleos, Alaenna Rahaleos, Aenenys Rahaleos
Military:
Price: 220 gold to sign and 35 a month to maintain.
300 Crossbowmen: Each crossbowman is equipped with two crossbows spanned by goat's foot levers, three quivers of twelve bolts each, a kettle hat or open faced sallet helmet, a sword, a buckler, a maille shirt and a gambeson or jack.
300 Shield Bearers: The shield bearers each have a thick pavise - four feet high and two feet high, of composite construction, faced with polished steel and having two iron spikes on the base and one on the end of the prop - and voulges in addition to the sidearms and armour of the crossbowmen. Their role is to carry the shields to the place of battle, cock and load the crossbowman's second crossbow and to defend the wall of pavises when the enemy closes to melee range. Most also wear mail mittens.
50 Light Cavalry: Men armoured much as the infantry and mounted on sumpter horses. Some carry light crossbows, but most rely on swords or axes. They're used for scouting, routing unprotected archers and cutting down fleeing troops.
6 Scorpions: Small, iron framed ballistae capable of sending a one pound bolt half a mile, or a similar weight incendiary grenade half that. They are also capable of discharging fourteen lead pellets, each weighing one ounce, along a horizontal line. Standard rate of discharge is four bolts, or three grenades, every five minutes.
