Preliminary family tree. My main character is Ser Enton Dayne, but I will be roleplaying as Oberyn and his family too. There's not much room for strategic marriage unless someone wants to betroth their children to Catelyn (13) or Beric (12).

Beric could be betrothed to My guys granddaughter Lyanna Lannister

Does it really make sense for the granddaughter of a Lannister to marry the son of a Lord in Dorne, a son who won’t even be Lord, barring his sister’s death?

[Vladivostokava]

Getting my app ready.

Beric could be betrothed to My guys granddaughter Lyanna Lannister

[Lunas Legion]

Name: Leo 'the Lame' Tyrell
House: House Tyrell
Age: 70
Gender: Male
Titles: Reach
Title: Lord of Highgarden, Defender of the Marches, High Marshal of the Reach, Warden of the South, Lord Paramount of the Mander
House Seat: Highgarden
House Sigil:Here.
Allegiance paid to: The Iron Throne/House Targaryen (he's refused to declare as to which of the two Targaryen princes he owes his allegiance to, but he fully intends on opposing Cregan whom he views as an usurper)
Appearance: Here.
Personality: Leo is a tired old man who wishes nothing more than to see the realm at peace and in prosperity. His days of glory are long since won and gone, and he is more than content to sit on his laurels and let his children handle just about everything. He cares deeply for his children, and trusts them to continue his legacy without question, but if there is anything that could rouse this decrepit warrior to command once again, it would be a threat to his children.
Skills: Leo may be old, and his tourney days may have passed as his body wastes away, but with nothing to do but read and write, his mind is as sharp as it has ever been. He's one of the few in the realm who would label themselves a strategist rather than a tactician or a spymaster; although adequate at both, it's his combination of the two and his preference to not lead armies in person and instead issue commands to a leader that he chose that sets him apart from being an adequate battlefield commander or a simple spymaster.
Weaponry: None. Leo is simply too infirm to actually fight.
Military Strength: In total, the Reach can muster around 80,000 men.
Biography: Leo was born in 331 AC, the youngest son of Willas Tyrell and Alla Vyrwell, and indeed the only one of his sons to survive childbirth. House Tyrell was hit hard by the ending stages of the War of the Five Kings. Loras Tyrell was killed by Ser Robert Strong while attempting to assassinate Tommen I Baratheon, a move which resulted in the Tyrells fleeing King's Landing before Daenerys' assault while Olenna Tyrell died shortly after from old age on the journey back to Highgarden.

Running out of options, Mace Tyrell declared for Aegon VI 'the False' with the promise of a marriage between him and Margaery and had the Tyrell armies march with Aegon while Garlan prepared to defend Oldtown. Garlan died defending Oldtown against Euron, and now Mace had his last son, Willas Tyrell, marry Mina Mullendore in order to continue the main line of the house. Aegon's armies forced the surrender of the Westerlands. The Tyrell armies withdrew to the Reach and removed Euron's forces from the mainland of the Reach before joining with the armies of Dorne to besiege King's Landing.

Mace never forgave Aegon for setting aside Margaery in favour of Daenerys, so she finally married Garth 'Greysteel' Hightower. Mace Tyrell only led a token contingent from the Reach in the War against the Others, determined to try and husband his armies for the period in the aftermath when his ambitions, thwarted oh so many times, might finally be accomplished. Regardless, Mace Tyrell did not return from the war against the Others, alongside many other Tyrells from more distant branches who came in order to try and win the favor of the new king and queen doing so. The aftermath of the war saw House Peake regain their old castles of Dunstonbury and Whitegrove. Harry Strickland was granted the castle of Brightwater Keep, which after his death was given to Marq Mandrake, who had served Harry Strickland as steward during his brief rule.

During the period of the war against the Others and the aftermath, Willas had many stillborn children with Mina and after her death during one of the stillbirths Willas remarried Alla Vyrwell. A similar fate befell them, for all but Leo, their last son. Leo barely knew his father, as he died when he was but six years old. However, the other branches of the Tyrell family raised him, in particular Lyonel Tyrell, distantly related to Leo through his grandfather Victor and the sole survivor of that line, a distant cousin of Mace Tyrell, Leo's own grandfather.

Lyonel taught Leo many things; how to fight, how to lead, how to rule and most importantly when to get into and when to stay out of trouble. Leo served as his squire as Lyonel competed in several tourneys, various other Tyrells serving as regents in his place as he traveled with Lyonel across the realm. Leo followed in Lyonel's footsteps as a tourney knight, only venturing from Highgarden for tourneys or when personally requested by the Targaryens.

The Tyrells remained out of court politics for a very long time, the last foray into the arena and the consequences well remembered by all. Leo was injured badly in a tourney at the age of 45, resulting in him losing the use of his left leg and being nicknamed 'the Lame' as a result. While bedridden, Leo took up reading out of boredom and over the years became a scholar of sorts in history. With his own glory days gone, he began to look to his other legacy, his children, and became far more of a teacher-father figure than many other lords. Although quite content to let them learn of their own accord, he took much the same role with them that Lyonel had with him when he was younger, teaching them about rulership, stewardship, lessons he was given by Lyonel that he passed on down to them along with lessons he learned himself, mostly on matters of politics and intrigue that Lyonel never learned, being a distant cousin to the main branch. He built a network of spies across the Seven Kingdoms, although informants would be a more accurate term, simply picking up on all manner of rumours and hearsay and leaving it up to him to muddle through the masses of information.

As his children grew, he gradually handed over many of the day to day duties of rulership to them; Lyonel became Lord Tyrell in all but name when dealing with the many Tyrell bannermen, while his youngest son, Gerold Tyrell, took over management of parts of his father's network of informants. Mace Tyrell took off to the Free Cities at the age of 16 and joined the Second Sons, where he spent over a decade and a half fighting with them and later other, smaller free companies before returning earlier this year, a wife and child in tow, after learning of his father's ill health.

Leo doesn't expect to last another year or three at best, but sheer stubbornness and a refusal to leave his children in the coming mess of politics has allowed him to cling on to life. He has scoured his library, a vast collection of texts assembled over the years to keep his mind sharp, for any precedent for the current succession crisis facing the Realm, having ordered the Citadel to do the same in its own libraries. Although he has amassed a rather large written dossier on the issue of the succession, he has yet to reveal its contents to anyone as he and Gerold plan to make their way to the Great Council, Mace and Lyonel remaining behind to rule in Highgarden.

House Dayne, much like House Velaryon, does tend to punch above its weight when it comes to dynastic marriages. Valyrian heritage and all that. All the same, Catelyn would be the more desirable candidate for such an arrangement, since her children will inherit the seat.

" Despite their purple eyes, according to George R.R. Martin, the Daynes are not of Valyrian descent" link but I do agree that Catelyn would be better to be married.

Shes the daughter of the last person in line to inherit

Hm, I'll think about it.

[Warg the Immortal]

Janei married Vaelys blackfyre on the tree i made, so you could add their marriage on yours if you wanted

Will do, Vaelys is dead by now right?

Dead for 40 years

Could betroth Catelyn to Haegon Blackfyre, he's only a year older, and doesnt stand any chance to inherit Dragon's Tongue so he'd be willing to go for a matrilineal marriage

[Saint Ryvern]

Dead for 40 years

If I'm apping for the entirety of House Dayne I just need to apply for the Lord of Starfall and the Sword of the Morning, right? The rest of the family will just be ancillary characters.

That could be a strong part of the Dayne's loyalty to Jaehaerys.

yeah, to both

[Saint Ryvern]

yeah, to both

We'll say Catelyn is betrothed to Haegon then. Also, where is Jaehaerys going to be at the start of the roleplay? Enton's biography will have to end with him being there and being named to the Kingsguard of Jaehaerys.

[Revlona]

Tywin lannister needs a wife

[Warg the Immortal]

He'll start in Dragonstone. To my understanding the Rp will start with the three claimants in their respectives bases of operations (Cregan in Winterfell, Daeron in King's Landing, and Jaehaerys in Dragonstone), and from their they'll likely begin rallying bannermen.

We can also put Haegon as a ward of Oberyn Dayne in Starfall, since he'd be about the age to be a squire, while Enton could be on Dragonstone with Jaehaerys

Do you want to roleplay Enton's appointment to the Kingsguard or should I include that information in my application?

I like the idea of Haegon being in Starfall too. That way the kids know each other.

[Saint Ryvern]

If anyone wants my character has an older brother, Doran Dayne, who died when he was 20. That's about old enough to be married, so perhaps he was either betrothed to or briefly married to a young noblewoman from somewhere in the Seven Kingdoms.

Since your house is married to the Whispers Blackfyres who support Daeron, might make more sense for one of them to be in his Kingsguard

[Saint Ryvern]

Name: Ser Enton Dayne
House: Dayne
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Titles: Sword of the Morning
House Seat: Starfall
House Sigil:

Allegiance paid to: House Martell of Dorne, Prince Jaehaerys III
Appearance: Ser Enton has an odd appearance for a Dornishmen, having some Andal blood in his veins. His skin is the olive in tone, similar in tone to his older brother’s, as he has spent many hours in the sun. His eyes are dark, not brown, just dark like the night sky. He keeps his face clean shaven, not like the scruffy approach his brother takes to present oneself.
Personality: Ser Enton is a very affable knight. He has a well-developed sense of humor, oftentimes self-deprecating; he developed this sense of humor in his youth when he would diminish his own skills to make older, but less skilled, knights feel better. Enton loves making people feel better, and feels a strong desire to help those who are in need and need help. The knight has been criticized for his gentleness, but people who say that have never seen him in combat. He respects all people, especially fighters from around the Seven Kingdoms, and loves to learn from others. When his father was alive Enton was taught the importance of duty and honor, and these tenets have been echoed throughout much of his training and life. He is an ideal knight.
Skills: Enton is a fantastic fighter, easily worthy of being the Sword of the Morning. He is skilled with many types of weapons, almost preferring combat with a spear over fighting with Dawn. However, he has dedicated himself to mastering the sword and is one of the most fearsome fighters in the realm when he wields the greatsword.
Weaponry : Dawn, the ancestral greatsword of House Dayne forged from the heart of a fallen star.
Military Strength: None, just his own might
Biography: Enton Dayne was born into a naturally good life. The third and final son of Beric Dayne and his bride, Catelyn Yronwood. Enton was eight years younger than the couple’s second child, but his birth was purposeful, despite what his brothers have told him. Starfall was a wonderful place to grow up for Enton; in his early years he was well cared for by many servants and the castle’s Maester. Lord Arthur was a good grandfather, and allowed all of his grandchildren to shadow him as he carried out his lordly duties; the boy’s father would often monitor his children to make sure they behaved appropriately. By the time Enton was born his older brothers were training to be fighters, a good trait for any ruler to have. By the time Enton was five his oldest brother, Oberyn, was regularly chasing Enton around with a wooden sword and abusing him. The second son, Doran, attempted to stop his older brother, but he was easily overpowered by the taller, stronger, older boy. Lord Beric, who become Lord of Starfall when Enton was five, knew little of this abuse, when he did witness it he thought it was just boys being boys. Of course, it wasn’t. Enton was deeply affected by his brother’s attacks, and would flee at the sound of his sibling’s voice. Daron spent a lot of time with Enton, the older brother even started to train his six year old sibling to fight. That is when Enton’s life changed forever.

Daron was a skilled fighter, better than the average teenager, but after several weeks of training Enton his little brother was overpowering him and disarming him with ease. Daron made his father aware of this, who at first was angry that Daron had started training Enton to fight at such a young age, but that was before he saw his youngest son fight. Immediately, he submitted his son to training with one of Starfall’s knights, an honorable man who had spent many years in service to Beric. Enton took quickly to the knight’s training, becoming well-versed with a spear and sword at an amazing rate. Many other Lords from Dorne and the Reach sent ambassadors to see the boy fight when word of his skill spread throughout the land. However, Lord Beric rejected all these men, fearing their presence would foster arrogance in his son. He made sure that the knights and fighting men around Enton were honorable, and taught his son the duties that came with wielding a sword, not just the power that came with it. Enton progressed quickly, but his life came to a halt in 388, when he was 12 years old, when his father and brother Daron died mysteriously, disappearing into the Red Mountains on their way back from Yronwood to visit Enton’s grandmother’s family.

The tragedy, which has been titled the Disappearance of the Daynes, shook Starfall. It took several weeks for Oberyn, Enton, and their mother to admit that Beric and Daron were dead; there was too much hope that they’d return out of the mountains someday. Finally, Oberyn was made Lord of Starfall. Daron’s death weighed heavily on Enton’s young shoulders; he loved Daron far more than Oberyn, the two had many long conversations about life in their days together. Beric’s death altered the path of Enton’s life too. Little did the boy know but his father had told Oberyn that he wanted to make Enton Sword of the Morning, which the eldest Dayne revealed to his brother shortly after he became Lord of Starfall. This shift changed the pre-adolescent Enton’s view on life. He devoted himself to training even more, desiring to become as skilled with a greatsword as possible before he claimed Dawn. Also, he was a new uncle and despite his young age this changed his outlook on who exactly he was learning to fight to protect. As a young warrior he accompanied many knights on excursions to kill bandits, proving himself many times in the field.

As he grew from a teenager into an adult Enton matured greatly. Finally, when he turned 17 he was knighted by his brother. Despite Oberyn’s wishes he refused to become the Sword of the Morning until he proved himself as a knight, not just as a squire. A year later he did prove himself, killing a dozen men in the Red Mountains, rebel warriors from several castles that pillaged several dwelling and abused many people. At the ripe age of 18 Enton became the Sword of the Morning, the first since Edric Dayne. He spent the first two years of his Swordship at Starfall, acting as the personal protector for his brother. During this time the two siblings reconciled many of the issues they had from their childhood, and Enton learned to love and forgive his brother. The knight also grew close to his nieces and nephews, especially protective of young Catelyn, named after his mother.

When he turned 21 the knight was commanded by his brother to go to King’s Landing. He did not understand at first, but when Oberyn explained why he never asked any more questions. The Sword of the Morning must represent House Dayne on a greater scale than Starfall, and Catelyn had been betrothed to a young Blackfyre boy. Enton’s presence in the capital would secure the betrothal, and send a strong message about House Dayne’s support for the crown. Enton was not appointed to Gaemon’s Kingsguard, mainly because there were no openings, but he trained with the members of it and learned much from them. He spent his time in the capital acquainted himself with the lords and ladies who lived there, learning much about the Seven Kingdoms. He had quite a good name in the capital, and has many friends there still. He admired Gaemon greatly, the honorable king reminding him of his father. Between the two princes he preferred Jaehaerys, always staying closer to him and making more friends in his circle; the prince reminded him of Daron. When Gaemon died and war broke out Enton knew he had to side with Jaehaerys, for the sake of the realm and because of Catelyn’s betrothal.

During his time in the capital Enton has taken Victor Tyrell as a page and Stannis Baratheon as a squire. The Sword of the Morning likes both of the little lords a great deal, and would strive to protect them as well as they serve him; that is to say, with all his might.
RP Example: Here you go
And a second one since I have two applications
Notes: See Oberyn Dayne’s application for the ancillary characters.

Name: Lord Oberyn Dayne
House: Dayne
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Titles: Lord of Starfall
House Seat: Starfall
House Sigil:

Allegiance paid to: House Martell of Dorne, but Lord Dayne has personal reasons to be loyal to Jaehaerys III
Appearance:

Personality: Oberyn is headstrong at times. Naturally he likes to make decisions quickly, often letting his emotions rule him. However, as he ages his is growing, and he has become a rational leader thanks to the help of his wife and advisors. He cares deeply for his children and family, wanting to protect them in the chaotic times that are to come. He is somewhat ambitious, but he has never been the best at anything in his life so he does not believe he deserves much more than he has.
Skills: Oberyn is a good leader. Not great, he has many flaws, but he is working to fix them. He was foolish and angry in his youth, and he is trying to rectify his mistakes as he ages. He is a good Lord, securing a good betrothal for Catelyn and keeping Starfall strong.
Weaponry: Nothing special, but when Oberyn fights he prefers to use a spear
Military Strength: 4,500
Biography: “Daynes always die young! At least one always does! Sometimes two…” This is a statement Oberyn has heard many times from his great aunt Mariah Dayne, a bachelorette who has lived at Starfall her entire life. She started reminding him when he was 9 years old, as soon as Enton was born. This angered the boy, and he wanted his youngest brother to be the one. Beric always placed a lot of expectations on Oberyn, but always acted like his eldest never lived up to them. Until his father’s last days Oberyn felt like this. Daron was always taken on diplomatic missions, Enton was going to be the Sword of the Morning. The worst part was that Oberyn knew he was the worst Dayne child, yet he would be Lord someday. He knew his younger brothers were better at talking and fighting than him.

When Beric and Daron died Oberyn was a freshly married young adult. He was still angry, but now he was a father and Lord of Starfall. Still, he carried out his father’s wish of making Enton the Sword of the Morning, secretly growing prouder of his little brother every day. He loved his wife and children too. He took time to grow, learning from his mother and making mistakes along the way, but growing into a good ruler. He made good moves and secured a good marriage for his daughter, his eventual successor, he hoped. Oberyn regrets sending his brother off, but knows it was the right move. When Catelyn, his mother, died Oberyn took the loss hard; since he had none of his siblings around to comfort him. He knew he made the right decision when Gaemon died and he received word from Enton about his brother’s appointment to Jaehaerys’ Kingsguard. The Lord of Starfall was glad about this, not wanting to take the nice Blackfyre boy that was his ward as a hostage. Oberyn is proud of Enton for acquiring the services of a young Tyrell and Baratheon, feeling good about securing relations with the high lords in the such a perilous time.

Family Tree

[Warg the Immortal]

-SNIP-

1. Raemon seems kinda op, he's a peerless warrior and has a sharp cunning despite him being of Frey descent (which aren't really known for their martial skill)
2. Name is changed from Frey to Flammen for essentially no reason, and adopts a weird looking bird sigil instead of the Frey sigil that'd been used for centuries
3. Remove Seagard, the Mallisters were a powerful Riverlands house with no reason to suddenly go extinct, or for their lands to pass to the Freys
4. Frey genes are quite strong (particularly in descendants of Walder), whereas Valyrian genes tend to be very recessive, so he shouldn't look Valyrian. At most he could have blue/purple eyes, but otherwise he should have hair like a frey, the weak chin of a frey and the beakish nose of a frey
5. Assuming based on how its spelled that Raemon is supposed to be a Valyrian sounding name, yet every valyrian name that starts with 'r' is immediately followed by an 'h' (i.e. Rhaegar, Rhaegel, Rhaegal, Rhae, Rhaella, Rhaenyra, Rhaena, Rhaenys, Rhae, etc.)
6. Way too many men, 10,000 according to the wiki the Riverlands could raise roughly 45,000 men. No way can the Freys raise more than 1/5 of the riverlands soldiers
7. Bryan killed "large swaths" of his family? That'd make him a kinslayer and would likely be put down by either Baelish or the Crown for that considering its one of the three biggest taboos in Westerosi culture
8. No way Dany and Aeg would marry there daughter to what is essentially an up jumped kinslayer from the Frey family
9. The Velaryon marriage makes no sense. Aurane is a boys name, and the Velaryons are all the way in the crownlands while the Freys are basically at the Neck, it'd make little to no sense for them to marry into the Freys when the entirety of the crownlands and stormlands would be closer for marriage options, plus the Freys aren't exactly a well looked upon house considering their tendency for betrayal (a la Red Wedding), while the Velaryons are old and well respected

-SNIP-

1. Way too many men, 10,000 would basically put him on par with the Hightowers
2. Raiding Dorne, the Reach and Stormlands during Gaemon's rule, when there hasn't been a major conflict in 40 years? The Royal Fleet or Redwyne fleet would've cracked down on him immediately
3. Spies sent after him? He's just some bastard, I hardly think they're going to invest that much effort searching for him
4. Doubt Tyrosh or other free cities near the Stepstones are gonna let the whole Pirate King thing go on
5. If he's a Northmen why was he raised to be a knight? Manderlys may follow the Seven but the Hornwoods definitely don't
6. If he legitimized himself as a Manderly why is he using a different and overly complicated sigil
7. Medrick seems very op (and fighting with two swords has frequently been proven to be ridiculous, and pointless, this is based on the books not the show where that type of ludicrous swordsmanship happens), and despite his Manderly mother doesn't seem to have any of the characteristic heftiness of Manderlys

[The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune]

Im on mobile so quoting ain't gonna work, but for thr criticisms of my app

1. He isn't peerless, he's good fighter but he's better at tactics than actual combat, where the Frey mind comes from.

2. The name change is because after all the destruction and betrayal his family had caused, Bryan changed the name so that he would not be associated with the people who started the War of the Freys.

3. I explained why the Mallisters went extinct, it was due to the White Walkers. After the invasion Bryan used Seagarde as a staging point before he stopped the Freys and never gave it to whomever should have inherited it, so that could be a point of contention in the future.

4. At this point, the family has had three generations of Valurian in them, one can assume that a child by this point would look somewhat Valyrian.

5. Will edit that

6. Will edit

7. Part of the reason he changed the name. He would also probably be hated by most other people, but the Baelishes and the Crown owed him too much to enforce any punishment, even if he was hated the rest of his life.

8. I asked permission about marrying one of Dany's unmarried daughters first

9. That Velaryon wasn't a member of the main house, but some distant cousin married because she looked Valyrian.

[Fahran]

House Dayne, much like House Velaryon, does tend to punch above its weight when it comes to dynastic marriages. Valyrian heritage and all that. All the same, Catelyn would be the more desirable candidate for such an arrangement, since her children will inherit the seat.

" Despite their purple eyes, according to George R.R. Martin, the Daynes are not of Valyrian descent" link but I do agree that Catelyn would be better to be married.
