House Seat: The Twins

[img][img]https://imgur.com/yqI8SoC.jpg[/img][/img]

Allegiance paid to: House Baelish
Appearance (Picture appreciated):

Personality: Raemon is a proud man, almost to a fault. One would have to be being from perhaps the greatest of the "New" Houses that arose from the Century of Blood. His distinguished heritage dating back to both the now legendary Walder Frey and the second Conquerors Daenrys and Aemon have led for a quite large superiority complex only strengthened by his tourny prowess when he was younger. Though his skill with a sword was unqestionable, Raemon's true strength lies in the cunning part of his personality, coming from his Frey side. Indeed, his plotting and planning are unqestioned by those close to him, and many in the nobility of the Riverlands believe it is not a matter of if, but when he plans to seize the Iron Throne.

Skills: Though a skilled warrior, Raemon's greatest strength is his intellect, being one of the more brilliant minds to arise since the Invasion of the Others. His prowess in battle tactics and court politics have made him somewhat of a renowned figure, even at a younger age for a lord.
Weaponry (If any): None
Military Strength: 10,000

Biography:: Raemon was born in 373 AC, when Spring was still young and the realm was just barely recovering from the Second Militant Crisis. His father, Lord Devyn the Craven, was considered a disgrace to the realm for making peace with the Militants in exchange for his life and fleeing back to the Twins given the chance. This shattered the already fragile reputation of their young house and their hold on the lands that the fleeting remaining members of House Frey still considered theirs. Growing up, Raemon was sent to play squire for King Gaemon, as a sign of continued faith and binding between House Flammen and House Targaryen. In King's Landing, Raemon excelled in his book learning, but lagged in his skill in combat. However, over time and with work Raemon managed to transform himself into a skilled fighter and jouster. He was no prodigy, but he was respected on the field.

In his 16th year, Raemon was called back to the Twins to deal with a rogue army lead by Stefford Rivers, "The Last Frey". In a battle the would become known as The Blood Fork, Raemon used the full force of the Three Castles to surround and slaughter the better trained but much less numerous forces of Stefford, before executing him over the Trident at the Twins. This feat would lead to Raemon's first nickname, "The New Flame". However, with Raemon's cousin Raemon Vance becoming much more reknowned for his time in the tourney circuit, Raemon would soon become better known as "The Valyrian" due to his old freehold looks.

Raemon's life became rather uneventful as he became the master-at-arms at the Twins, serving for his father while he waitied to inherit. In his 23rd year he married Saera Blackfyre, and in the next year had his firstborn son, Aegon. Almost conviently, Lord Devyn died a month after Aegon was born and Raemon took over the throne of the Three Castles. He managed his lands well and became one of the wealthier lords in the realm over the next eight years of his life, during which his second son, Baelor, and his daughter Daenerys were born. Raemon also consolidated his power within the political sphere of the unstable riverlands, making alliances and deals to increase his standing as a lord.

Notes: I'll be controlling Raemon, Saera, Raemon's brother Baelor, and Aegon. The rest of the family are too young or would be unimportant to the story.





House Name: House Flammen
House Sigil:

House Words: From Fire Come Steel
Allegiance Paid to: House Baelish
House Seat: The Twins,

Approx Number of military at command: 10,000

History of the House: The history of House Flammen begins in 305 AC, following the Invasion of the Others. House Frey, though devastated by the winter and the wars, still had far too many members for comfort. This was proved when Walder Frey finally at the age of 97. The Chaos that followed would be known as the War of Freys, with the entire Riverlands thrown into Chaos due to not only winter, but various armies each trying to seize control of the Twins. With the rest of the kingdoms just reaching a tentative peace, House Baelish is no place to intervene, and each Frey laying claim to Walder's seat or backing another, there was nothing to stop another bloody conflict.

The fight would go on for two years, until Bryan Frey, looking to avenge the death of his father Walton and end the conflict plauging his homeland, secretly struck a deal with the Iron Throne to ensure lasting peace even after the conflict. Bryan, with supplies from King's Landing, would finish the fight once and for all in the Targaryen's name and would not contest House Baelish's hold over the Riverlands, if his son could have the hand of one of the Co-ruler's daughters. The bargain was struck and Bryan quickly and efficiently fought his way through the Riverlands, making his base at Seagard, which had lain dormant since the extermination of House Mallister at the hands of the Others. From Seagard, he marched forth on the current holder of the Twins, his cousin Black Walder. Black Walder met Bryan between Seagard and The Twins, and it was there that Bryan won a stunning victory, using both tactics and wildfire from King's Landing to decimate Black Walder's army. It was in this battle that Bryan bravely charged through intense infernos, even during winter, and became known as Bryan "Flame".

After quickly taking control of the Twins, Bryan began a second campaign known as the Pruning. He rapidly and ruthlessly wiped out any opposition to his rule over the Frey lands, killing large swaths of his family and forcing the rest to hide in various castles around Westeros. It was because of this act that Bryan seperated himself from the rest of his house, instead taking the name of House Flammen and uniting the titles of The Twins and Seagard into the Three Castles. Bryan then held up his end of the bargain, bending the knee to the Iron Throne and House Baelish, and in turn Bryan received a promise of that his son would marry a royal daughter.

Bryan would have three sons, respectively Petyr, Patrek, and Stevron. Petyr the eldest would marry Shaera Targaryen, and have a son, Devyn and two daughters, Maella, and Rhaenys. Devyn would go onto marry Aurane Velaryon, a distant unlanded cousin of the Sealords, and have two sons, Raemon and Baelor, and two daughters, Walda and Maegelle.

I'll look at some of the created apps tomorrow. However, I can already see that Anarcho's app has a lot that will need changed.

Custom Houses may only be low lords and are not allowed to have vassals. Custom Houses are not allowed Valyrian Steel Swords.
A DREAM OF SPRING RULE: Due to some houses going extinct during the war with the Others, some houses have replaced them. As long as you give a good reason why your house has replaced the original, then you are allowed to replace a canon house. However, all Lord Paramount houses (minus Tully) are in charge of their de jure title. Only House Baelish is different as they rule Harrenhal and the Riverlands. (Also any houses that are mentioned in the timeline are still around by 401 and thus cannot be replaced.)

So, are Essosi factions disallowed?

So, are Essosi factions disallowed?

Based on past RPs that I've done with Valyria, I'd keep away from Essosi Factions. If you are doing a mercenary company, you can have Essosi Roots, but this RP is focused on Westeros. Once we get major factions on Westeros Occupied and the continent is sufficiently filled with players, we might open up the nearby Essosi cities. We don't need any Horselords or Ghiscari Slavers running about doing their own thing and show up end game with the whole of Essos behind them because they had no one to compete with.

Well, to be honest, I wanted to invade Westeros as an Essosi faction, yes. Basically, I wanted to start a period of cultural interchange in which Westerosi and Essosi ways blend into a new whole. But it's okay if that isn't allowed; I know I might be asking for too much.

Keep this idea on hold for me, okay? Right now, I need Westerosi players first and foremost. I would prefer to get the LPs knocked out first, followed by any of vassals.

If I can get at least two players/one if not possible for each region (2 for the North, 2 for the Westerlands, 2 for the Riverlands, etc.) then I will be open to an Essos player. However, that Essos faction will be under stringent review.

I’m thinking about creating the heir to Storm’s End. Sent to the council because of his father’s mental state (Alzheimer’s). He’ll be young, very idealistic, and bold. Built for survival...

either that or Jaime just doesn't give brienne the sword in the first place

[Ceannairceach]

Name: Medrick Snow, though he insists on Medrick Manderly

House: House Manderly of the Stepstones (unrecognized cadet branch)

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Titles: Self-styled as the King of the Stepstones and Narrow Sea, called "the Merman," Lord of Bloodstone, called "the Pirate King" by the commonfolk and Essosi, and the "the Bastard Pirate" by the highborn of Westeros.

House Seat: Bloodstone

House Sigil: A white merman, skeletal and bleeding from a visible heart, bearing an arakh in his right hand and a crown of gold in his left, over a field of black, surrounded by broken chains.

Allegiance paid to: N/a

Appearance: Medrick is a Northman, and bears the common features of the people there: broad shoulders, a square jaw and thick, long brown hair to his shoulders, usually tied back into a tail to control it while at sea. His body bears the trappings of a hard life: scars dance across his hands and arms from dueling injuries, and in many other places they mark old and recent wounds. His face bears a mighty scar across it, from above his left eye and down above his nose before fading into his cheek. Another scar graces the right half of his neck, carving a straight line towards his throat. His eyes are a pale gray, and he is usually seen with a trimmed beard that hugs his face.

Personality: Generally, Medrick can be described as a merry person: he engages often with wine and women, fights jovially in the sparring competitions common among Stepstone pirates, and has even been described as a good-natured person by the people who have survived a meeting with him, for a pirate. All of this, of course, is on the surface: though Medrick does find pleasures in such things, in his heart, he is deeply unsatisfied with his life. Though he has won treasure, fame, and the loyalty of men, he believes it all for naught, as none of his accomplishments will survive beyond his death. He seeks greater things, recognition from the lords of Westeros chief among them. This path is locked to him, however: he is exiled, and as such, his return would require blood and sacrifice beyond measure. He is a man in turmoil, and is prone to outbursts of rage and anger at whomever is there to absorb the brunt of it.

Skills: An unparalleled duelist, Medrick is a seasoned raider, having spent a long ten-and-five years prowling up and down the Narrow Sea in search of plunder. He typically fights in a two-weapon style, using an arakh and a half-sword with deadly efficiency. He is an accomplished captain as well, having helmed his own ship, "the Trident," for many years. More importantly, he is a master of naval warfare and strategy, having proven himself in numerous confrontations, both of the piratical nature and as a mercenary in service to the Free Cities. A leader of men, Medrick is also known for his charisma, and is an inspiring figure to which many pirates look to for leadership.

Weaponry (If any): An arakh of Dothraki make, a half-sword, a dagger, a buckler shield, a full shield, and a trident.

Military Strength: Ten thousand pirates and two hundred ships of various description.

Biography: Medrick's birth was an accidental thing, the result a tryst between the second-born daughter of the Lord Manderly and a man in his service, named Torrhen. The reason for their affair is lost to history, as he would be for some time, for his mother, Lady Arra, was married, and thus kept her lustful mistake secret from her husband: when she began to show, it was her lord husband who she told, and who in turn told the court that his first-born son would soon arrive.

When he was born, he was given the name Medrick, after the great knight who had served the Targaryens during the Dance of the Dragons. His assumed father, the knight Rexel Hornwood, raised him as his own for many years, unaware of his true parentage: he taught him the ways of knighthood, of honorable combat and the teachings of the Sept. He loved him, in a manner and way only a highborn could love his firstborn, and thought him a worthy heir for his modest household. He had two children of his own with Arra in this time, two girls named Myriam and Lysa, both of which Medrick loved dearly.

He would grow into a tall, powerful young man, with a strong head on his shoulders and a mighty sword arm. He would enter the service of his father as a squire, and during that time toured the Seven Kingdoms as they attended feasts and tourneys across its width and breadth. He learned of his love of wine and beautiful women as he traveled far and wide, tasting all that life had to offer him.

All would take a turn for the worse as Medrick approached adulthood, however. At the age of sixteen, already an accomplished squire on the path to knighthood, Medrick's life was torn to pieces when he was suddenly seized by Manderly guards and thrown into a tower cell. His mother eventually joined him, visibly beaten, and it was then, in the short time they had left together, that she explained his true lineage: he was not Medrick Hornwood, but Medrick Snow, and somehow, her husband had learned the truth.

His former father joined them, and took them both before the Lord Manderly, who could not bear to look at the bastard that stood before him. For his own daughter, the answer was simple: she was to be locked in a tower forever, never to leave unless accompanied by her husband. For Meldrick, the Lord offered him a choice: take the black, or join the Faith. He would not hear Meldrick's pleas, and though the decision was final, the Lord gave him the small mercy of time to think before he was sent away. He was locked in his tower once more, alone with his thoughts.

Some relationships were stronger than blood, and those would save Medrick in the end. His sisters, Lysa and Myriam, lured his guards away and unlocked his door, smuggling to him a sword and shield with which he could make his escape. They escorted him to the passages beneath the New Castle, and though he almost made it out without alerting the sentries, he was stopped moments before his escape was complete: in the chaos, Lysa was killed by a stray arrow, and Medrick was forced to slay many men before the night was over.

In the end, he was free, though hunted across the North as a murderer, held responsible for the death of his sister. With few options left, he enlisted himself on a ship bound for the Free Cities, disguised and without a penny to his name. There, he would find work as a mercenary aboard any vessel that would take him further south, far and away from the spies sent to find him by his former family.

After some time, he would find himself in Lys, where he entered the service of the pirate Maharys Volgo, who promised the young man treasures and an unparalleled chance for fame that he could take for himself. The reality was far bleaker: Maharys was a gifted liar, though not so gifted a captain, and the two years Medrick spent in his service were more akin to slavery than employment. Barely competent enough at piracy to sustain his crew, and greedy enough to hide the best spoils for himself, Maharys earned Medrick's jealously in due time, and it was not long after that that the young Northman was plotting a mutiny against him, which he accomplished with little complaint from the equally beleaguered crew.

Elected the new captain, Medrick renamed his ship "the Trident," and set forth on a bloody campaign across the Narrow and Summer Seas, raiding whatever village, ship, or coast he could to increase his plunder. Not shy about his heritage, he became known throughout Dorne, the Stormlands and the Reach for his noble heritage, a constant reminder he gave to the lords of Westeros as he took their wealth by force. Eventually, as the spoils of constant raiding began to pile up, more ships entered his service, until a small fleet called Medrick their master.

It was thus hardly a surprise, with his numbers growing month by month, that he took to the shores of one of the Stepstones and claimed it for himself. Bloodstone, once the refuge of of Daemon Targaryen, self-proclaimed King of the Stepstones and Narrow Sea. Inspired by what he saw as fate, he renewed the title, and in a ceremonial election by the captains in service to him, was crowned King Medrick Manderly, though at that time, he was recognized only by a scant thirty ships and their crews.

He would wage a bloody war for the next five years, abandoning the fertile coasts of Westeros in favor of fighting the other pirates that called the Stepstones their home. First to fall was the harbor of Torturer's Deep, then Grey Gallows, and finally the smaller islands that surrounded them. Each was given the choice of service to the new King who claimed those islands, or death and replacement by captains who would. It was not a difficult choice by many: kings came and went, but lives were a precious thing, and the evidence was strong that he intended to keep his promise of plunder to those that served him well.

For the past five years, "King" Medrick has ruled in relative peace, slowly building himself a fortune from the tribute of his captains and the ever more threatening raids along the Narrow Sea's coasts. All of this, of course, has its purpose: he seeks a dramatic return to Westeros, and so bides his time, building his strength so that one day, the lords of his home mighty finally recognize that which is his by birth.

They actually are still alive, believe it or not. They are now vassals of the Westerlands. They hold the lands once held by the Clegane (which is now extinct)

Jaime was able to keep his word to Edmure and saw to it that his son would receive a small bit of land. I'll be looking at apps later today.
