When: the first night- Illumination of the Red Keep, during the fireworks display Where: the outside courtyard Capping at 5 ( 2/5 )

One minute, she had been clapping and laughing enthusiastically as she watched in delighted awe over the magnificent fireworks that were illuminating the night sky in a myriad of dazzling colours. The next a terrible wave of dizziness hit her and Maris found herself stumbling to the nearest wall to steady herself from fainting. What was wrong? Shouldn't the early month symptoms be over by now? She was already more than halfway through the fourth month and was about to break the news soon to the Tullys, her beloved husband included. Had she over-exerted herself today? The latter was a strong possibility. She should have taken a longer nap but she didn't want to miss the torch-lighting ceremony in support of her beloved mothers-in-law nor did she want to miss the dazzling firework show. Pressing a palm over her face as she leaned against the cool stone wall, Maris then tried to calm herself down.

[cfshadows]

Sybell had been standing off to the side, Alester had run off to find his father when the fireworks started. They had that bond, even if their days were mostly silence, Alester was a light that she was proud of. When the woman next to her rested against the stone Sybell made sure Alester was still with his maid before turning to the woman. A hand on her shoulder, "Are you alright?" Lady Maris Tully, she didn't know the woman well but recognized her. "Would you like me to take you to sit somewhere?"

at the Kingswood, during the Royal Hunt in the early morning | open starter

dominic was in his element despite being on land instead of the sea. he could easily fish a creature from a ship on rocky waves but in the woods, it is something else. it required a different set of skills that he had yet to fully hone in his twenty-something years. he though about setting his sights on the elusive white hare but there was other creatures he could hunt for, others that maybe while some were distracted he would take the time to converse to some needed people. he been tracking a red deer and was set to throw his dagger, when he heard a twig snapped behind him causing the creature to run away. "you owe me a deer." he said standing up to face the other person. "is this your first time hunting or are you just oblivious to your surroundings to notice?"

[cfshadows]

Oys almost hadn't agreed to join the hunt, he'd been determined to do nothing but stay in the new castle and avoid this mess. But Aegon had asked him personally to participate, he'd said not as king but as brother. And so Orys was here, in the forest watching, he had no desire to take the prize, once he would have, but now he was fit to just be here.

Purposely he stepped on a twig, causing the dear to bolt into the trees. An eyebrow raised at the lord who confronted him. "It's young. A mother of a male fawn, it's already big and with her around it will get bigger." Orys shrugged, "Her son will be a big prize next year, this year she'll be worth nothing."

( santiago cabrera, cis male, he/him ) HARK! I believe the heralds are announcing the arrival of OLYVAR TOLAND, the FORTY-SEVEN year old, RULING PRINCE of SUNSPEAR. They are known to hold loyalty towards DORNE & THEIR HOUSE and little birds sing of them being FERVID & DAUNTLESS. When one dreams of them, images of “feelings buried under layers of steel and iron, barely hidden laughs and glances, standing at the center of change and having no idea how what to do with it and the innocence of childhood love” comes to mind. However their CUNNING and EGOCENTRIC nature can make for difficult times. Time will only tell what their true intentions are.

v.  background

olyvar came into the world screaming and if you ask some, he's never stopped. strong, smart and quick, he's always been a force even when he was a child. he was raised to become heir to ghost hill, to rule for house toland. because of this, lord perros held nothing back when it came to trying to get his son and heir the best teachings he could.

to olyvar he found his interests more in sword than studies. he was a fine student but always ready to go off somewhere else and do something else. it was never more evident when he found himself in awe of the prince nymor and the knights with him. after begging and proving himself, he was set to squire for one of the knights.

by the time he was 14 he'd squired and fought hard, he'd made a name for himself outside of being a squire, outside of being the heir to house toland. it was that year he was knighted and set in service to house martell. one of the youngest knights, if not the youngest in dorne, olyvar quickly grew close to princess deria. he adored her, did everything he coudl to9 try to make her laugh, to make her feel protected as he could. it only made sense that he was made her sworn sword.

his devotion to her wasn't a secret, some even knew he loved the princess. but honor stood overall. she was betrothed to lord yronwood and he respected that. as much as he loved her, as much as he wanted to be with her. he knew she was determined to stay focused on her duties. she never took a paramour and he still stood at her side, expecting nothing but her companionship. protecting her.

he took lovers in this time, but none stuck, no one was ever what he wanted. he was always more dedicated to his duties, even when his father asked him to come home and ready himself to rule ghost hill, he refused. leaving his father no choice but to name olyvar's younger sibling heir of house toland.

when lord yronwood died, olyvar was at her side, expecting nothing but there was a part of him that had hoped. he respected her, he helped her children as they grew, he did whatever he could. until 8 years ago when the pair were finally married.

vi.  extra facts

olyvar doesn't like the idea of having to be a part of the seven kingdoms but he knows it's beneficial. he knows it's what dorne needs but he knows it's not what they want. he also knows many in the seven kingdoms don't want them to join.

house toland is one of the houses that particularly is making things hard for his wife. aegon targaryen challenged his lord father to a duel and when it came time to fight, his father sent a fool in his place and left ghost hill. the king of the seven kingdoms became a fool himself, something that's still laughed about. and something his family has recently made an even bigger reaction of.

house toland's new banner is a green dragon eating it's own tail. he's laughed about it but he knows it's an issue. it will be a spectacle when his family reveals their new banner at the gathering.

he's good at lying, at pretending he's more than happy to become part of the seven kingdoms or that his family shouldn't have their banners mocking aegon. but he thinks it's all hilarious, he'd still an honorable man.

was injured in a battle, losing movement in his arm and he had to train himself to use it again.

vii.  wanted connections

his family: he gave up his title as heir of house toland before he was married to deria and now he's ruling prince with her. so his younger sibling is heir and his whole family has basically shown up mocking aegon.

the person who injured him: someone who was fighting in one of the battles, he lost mobility in his arm. tension now...

former lovers, friends, anything really

( medalion rahimi, demi woman, she/they ) HARK! I believe the heralds are announcing the arrival of SYBELL REYNE NEE LEFFORD, the THIRTY-THREE year old, RULING LADY of CASTAMERE. They are known to hold loyalty towards THE CROWN and little birds sing of them being INTELLIGENT & PERSUASIVE. When one dreams of them, images of “golden coins slipping through your fingers, matching silhouettes standing behind a woman in white, waiting on letters from home that rarely come” comes to mind. However their STOIC and ABRASIVE nature can make for difficult times. Time will only tell what their true intentions are.

iv.  family

mother:  sirila of pentos (†).    father:  lord farzad lefford.    sibling(s):  one older sibling and one younger sibling.    husband:  tion reyne    children:  alester reyne (4). others:  other members of house lefford (family) & members of house reyne (inlaws)   

v.  background

to lord farzad lefford all of his children were precious, made of gold. a currency. his eldest child was everything to him, they were his heir, his prize. the rest of them were all able to be traded for the best offers. sybell was his second child and all he could hope for from them, was a good marriage.

she learned what she needed to be a proper lady, and her father was proud of her. her mother however was more interested in teaching her the arts and passions of pentos. when her mother was able to take her away from westeros, sybell and the other lefford children were taken to pentos. the love sirila had for her husband wasn't able to hold her boredom.

the eldest lefford child was always stuck to their fathers side and sybell often took them things back from pentos. she wanted to make people happy, she loved bringing things back from pentos for the members of her house, a warm child. one who lost part of that spark when her mother died when she was 10.

house lefford and house reyne have always had a strong connection, both wealthy houses and loyal to house lannister it was obvious to introduce their children. as a child sybell quickly fell for one of the reyne twins. sybell and lucion were inseparable and as long as farzad had his heir, he didn't care what his younger daughter did. any solid connection to house reyne would please him.

eventually a marriage was proposed between the two houses. sybell would marry lord lucion reyne and like her mother once had been, she would be happy. instead when she arrived her father and lord reyne told her she would instead be marrying the heir to house reyne, tion. sybell tried to argue, she tried to beg but her father wouldn't hear it. there was no higher honor than to be married to the future ruling lord, they should be grateful for the choice made.

sybell and lucion had planned to run away together, the plan fell apart and she was married to tion. for a year she stood and watched lucion, dreaming what her life could have been. until he was sent away. she was stuck an unhappy marriage where the only source of happiness came from the son tion gave her.

there had been a point where they could count on their siblings to comfort them but recently there has been little contact. her father, her siblings have seemed to distance themselves from her. she's unsure what she did but she's feeling even more alone than she had been before.

vi.  extra facts

she doesn't hate tion, but they're not in love. she does have love for him but because of their son mostly. she does know he was never in love with her and doesn't expect that he would be. she is happy they can at least communicate.

loves song and dance, often has more of a pentoshi outlook on some things because of how much time she spent there with their mother. very artistic.

she has no idea her family is part of the ashen promise, she doesn't like maegor or the marriage between dorne and the seven but she's loyal to them. her father taught her to be loyal, so the fact that they've turned against the crown hasn't ever crossed her mind.

even if she's unhappy she's not letting anyone know about it, she was raised to be a good lady, she cares for the people of Castamere and if she's working on doing things for other people, she can't think about herself and her own issues.

tion has rubbed off on her, she is willing to be underhanded, she's learned how to be manipulative and how to get her way. she's had to learn to pull strings to get what she wants, to get what makes her happy. good at lying to get her way. she's got a pretty face and a practiced attitude. she knows how to twist things.

will do anything for her son. she does try to be a decent person but when it comes to alester she would do anything.

vii.  wanted connections

her siblings!!!: the people she used to be super close with but who've now been distancing themselves from her. she's lost her support system and doesn't know what to do.

best friend: someone who knows how she actually feels, someone she shares stuff with and her actual problems.

someone trying to turn her to the ashen promise? her family is involved in it, she's the ruling lady of a powerful house so she'd be useful.

anything!!!

( oscar salem, cis male, he/him ) HARK! I believe the heralds are announcing the arrival of ALEC WAYNWOOD, the THIRTY year old, LORD of IRON OAKS. They are known to hold loyalty towards THE CROWN and little birds sing of them being CHARISMATIC & INTELLIGENT. When one dreams of them, images of “easy smiles that turn cold when ones back is turned, weight of perfection on your shoulders, books piled high enough to hide their reader at the desk” comes to mind. However their CYNICAL and  SANCTIMONIOUS nature can make for difficult times. Time will only tell what their true intentions are.

name:  alec waynwood.   age:  thirty.    place  of  birth:  ironoak, the vale.    gender:  cis male.    pronouns: he/him.    sexual  orientation:  bisexual.    religion:  the seven.  titles:  lord of ironoak, ser.    languages:  common tongue.    affiliation:  house waynwood, house arryn & house targaryen.

iv.  family

mother:  lady alys waynwood nee woodhull (†).    father:  lord eddison waynwood (†).    sibling(s):  two older siblings and one younger sibling.    others:  amelia waynwood nee ashford (sister-in-law)

v.  background

for as long as anyone can remember house waynwood has been the poster family for traditions, for ceremonies. they've always been one for perfection and when alec was born, that perfection was expected from him as well. he was the spare and still he was expected to do everything his older sibling did. all of the waynwood children were.

alec was good at it, he liked to make people happy and would do almost whatever he was asked to do. as he grew older these expectations grew and his ability to keep up with them started to faulter. he refused to let anyone see it, he couldn't let his family down. his parents were always so proud of him.

this need to make people happy led to him always reaching out for more praise. he'd go out of his way to get that praise from people and when people needed him or wanted him it was everything. it made him feel important, feel special.

he was the first one to jump into situations when people needed him, he always gave more of himself than he ever got from anyone else. but he never minded it. he needed to be liked. even if it took a lot out of him, he gave it everything. he was good at giving away himself.

he's immensely loyal to his house, house arryn and the crown. he's always been willing to do whatever for them. after his latest heart break, he was caught in a moment of weakness, letting go of the image of perfection, ignoring his need to be liked and just let himself live. as he always did he put all of himself in what he thought was love. someone who didn't expect perfection in him. until he was finally brought back into reality and told he wasn't supposed to wait months and months for a response from someone who 'loved him'.

he's struggling to keep the perfect exterior as he's been taught he's supposed to. alec finally let go of the perfection and charm and thought he could be happy with himself as he is. instead he's going back to trying to be that perfect image he had when he was younger. the one his parents saw.

vi.  extra facts

loves to read, he's very smart and if he's allowed he locks himself away to read.

hopeless romantic, he loves someone wanting him. he usually lies and puts on a facade about it, he's not good at letting people see who he really is, which is really a huge nerd who's maybe a little morbid.

alec would love to just be able to be himself but he doesn't really think that part of him is needed by anyone. there are few people who actually see him how he is.

he's a good fighter but he's more of a strategist, the knights of the vale are known for being honorable and strong. alec does what he can to follow that. he enjoys that. but he thinks he'd be better off making plans.

creepy facts make him happy, he loves ghost stories, odd deaths, he would love to be a doctor but he's not THAT smart.

unfortunately he does have a sense of superiority that comes from how proud house waynwood is and how they're raised to be.

despite the expectations put on them his family has always been pretty close. he does love his family.

hates dorne and the dornish for killing rhaenys, he really did like her and she was always very kind to him.

vii.  wanted connections

close friends: the people who actually know who he is, who are happy to just let him relax and be "normal"

past romantic interests: he's a hopeless romantic and falls in love easily (or did before)

superiority complex with a need to be perfect so there are people who won't like him. as well as being intensely loyal to the crown.

anything really!

( luke evans, cis male, he/him ) HARK! I believe the heralds are announcing the arrival of ORYS BARATHEON, the FORTY-EIGHT year old, RULING LORD of STORMS END. They are known to hold loyalty towards THEIR HOUSE and little birds sing of them being BOISTEROUS & VEHEMENT. When one dreams of them, images of “a man standing tall among a crowd, the sound of steel against steel in heavy combat, and a smile that has cracked at the edges, threatening to break apart” comes to mind. However their  DESTRUCTIVE  and RESENTFUL nature can make for difficult times. Time will only tell what their true intentions are.

iv.  family

mother:  lady aglantine rosby †.    father:  officially unknown. aerion targaryen †.    sibling(s):  none officially. aegon targaryen (half-brother), rhaenys targaryen † & visenya targaryen (half-sisters) .    wife:  argella durrandon.    children:  two children

v.  history

when aglantine rosby announced her pregnancy after her brothers wedding, she refused to name the father. but all who were there know the only man who's attention she had that night was that of aerion targaryen. when her son was born the elder lord rosby refused to let the boy take his name and house. instead aglantine gave her son the name of her mother's house. orys baratheon.

it was well known that the members of house rosby were usually born sickly. while orys grew strong, his mother grew weaker. four years was all he had with her before illness took her. the day she died, his grandfather arranged for him to be sent away. no one was surprised or said a word when he was accepted on dragonstone without question.

orys grew up with the members of house targaryen, accepted but it was made clear that he wasn't completely their equal. still he was happy, high valyrian came easy to him, he learned to fight and how to lead. while his best friend, and half-siblings, were with their dragons orys was taken to battlefields. some would say far too young to be there but orys towered over others and was stronger than most of the grown men.

he was happy training and on the battlefield. it was where he shined, it was where he finally stood out. where he wasn't the 'bastard' nor was he "aegon's friend" he was a warrior. it was where he made his own name. where people learned to know and fear orys baratheon. the dragons were feared in the sky and orys was feared on the ground.

when the hand of argella durrandon was offered to aegon, the man refused. both aegon and orys respected the old storm king so orys was fine when he was offered as her husband. the offer was refused, his messengers hands were cut off and orys was insulted, orys anger paled in comparison to his brothers. it was then that aegon decided there should be one king and orys was proud to stand by aegon.

orys was proud to be the first to march for the true king, with houses of the riverlands and crownlands defeated by his leading the battles he claimed the first victory for aegon and house targaryen. he was named hand of the king and at that it was time to right the first insult.

the fight was bloody but quick. argilac durrandon was an old man now and despite this, he was a proud man. orys was honored to fight the man who stood for his people. he killed argilac in single combat and the path to storms end was clear once the durrandon banners fled. with rhaenys and meraxes at his side they took their host to storms end and where he expected to meet resistance, instead he was met with the bound and naked argella durrandon. the woman he would cover, protect and name his wife. keeping the banners and sigil of she and her father as the words for the new House Baratheon of Storm's End.

vi.  now

war with dorne was something he'd wanted, yet another chance to prove his strength, a chance to keep fighting for his best friend and his brother. he'd been unaware of the trap he'd walked into. unaware of the deaths he'd sentenced his men to. when he was taken prisoner, for three years he and his man suffered at the hands of the dornish until aegon answered their demands. they were to be freed, but House Wyl had their own plans, orys and his men had their sword hands cut off.

orys was enraged, aegon was enraged and let balerion burn all he could of house wyl. orys was satisfied with the response, he was ready to thank aegon. even when argella raged at davos being sent to aegonfort orys accepted it. davos would be with his family, even if they weren't named blood, the realm knew.

the resentment and anger sat in him as he reigned as hand of the king. still he stood by aegon's side, darkened heart but still a solid ally and force. until rhaenys dies. with her death orys expects action, he expects anger. he's proud when aegon and visenya burn dorne. but the last thing he expects after this, was meetings.

the anger grew over time, nothing made it easier. he kept waiting for something from aegon, from visenya. but there was still nothing. when diera martell visits aegon orys demanded she lose a hand and have it sent to her father. instead aegon welcomed her heard her words. orys resigned as hand of the king, going back to storms end.

when the betrothals at dragonstone were announced, orys was one of the first to object. marrying into dorne was an insult to both he and rhaenys. furious he almost left himself until the announcement of the death of the hightower boy. orys knew dragons, he'd grown next to dragons, he'd thought to try to claim one himself but aerion always refused to let him try. anyone foolish enough to try to claim a dragon without the blood would meet the expected end.

orys wants to stay in storms end, he wants to see dorne burn, he wants to see justice be done. he wants his fucking hand back.

House Toland of Ghost Hill:

House Toland is a Dornish noble house sworn to Sunspear, one of the House Martell’s principal bannermen. Its seat, Ghost Hill, lies on the southern shore of the Sea of Dorne, near the Broken Arm. The Tolands successfully resisted the dragons of Aegon the Conqueror during the First Dornish War. The Lord Toland at the time sent out his champion to face Aegon. After Aegon slew the man, he learned that the man was Lord Toland’s mad fool, and that Lord Toland himself had escaped. In later days, the Tolands would take a new banner, showing a dragon biting its own tail, with the colors green in gold in memory of the motley of their brave fool. Prior to the dragon, the Toland banners displayed a ghost.
