satine brennos ( 652 - ? ) is a former prostitute and madam of a lyseni brother, the pearl of ruins. a proficient businesswoman, she was opposed to the slave trade of her city, and made herself known by buying and freeing as many girls as she could, though she was born a free woman herself. the pearl was closed after the donation of a fortune by khalakka davro, son of the dothraki khal rhanno. satine and her girls moved away from lys and founded a community of their own, welcoming those in need of a roof over their head and using the money they got to both expand and buy the freedom of more slaves. the place, that began as a single shelter-house, later expanded into a village named brennan, as a tribute to the woman who founded it.

princess meerah al-amin ( 655 - 678 ? ) was the youngest child of king leander deukalion and empress tehreem al-amin, of those who are older. born with a lingering and ultimately deadly illness, the princess was not subject to the same responsibilities as her siblings and allowed to travel, which is how she found her way to westeros and the vale of arryn. posing as a storyteller in the eyrie, she caught the eye of lord aurane greyjoy, then a ward to house arryn. weaving story after story for him, she grew closer to him before falling in love. though their relationship was cut short by princess meerah’s untimely death, finally succumbing to the illness that had been ailing her since she was a child. her legacy lives on by the work of lord aurane, with the vale library he created in her honor as an ultimate tribute.

lord isaac arryn ( 651 - ? ) is the firstborn son of lord jax arryn and princess nymeria tyrell, named for his maternal grandfather, as his siblings honored different members of their families. he squired and was knighted by ser wylan royce, though he did not receive the same dornish education as a teenager as his younger brother and sister, lord max and lady cora. lord isaac was groomed by his parent from a very young age to accomplish his duty as heir to the eyrie. the young lord was always fascinated with religions that were not the faith of the seven, once visited winterfell for its godswood and dreams of going to braavos. he was reportedly seen with red priestess ashana of asshai, a servant of the lord of light, whose influence over him has grown to, according to witnesses, almost worrying.

two years anniversary cast ! → max arryn.

lord max arryn ( 653 - ? ) is the second son of lord jax arryn and princess nymeria tyrell. the boy was born blind, though his twin sister lady cora seems to suffer of no such handicap, and relies much on his kin’s help for daily tasks. his powers as a warg, from his paternal grandmother lady jeyne’s northern line, did not declare themselves until his teenagehood, spent in dorne with his great-grandmother princess faye martell’s family. the twins kept it a secret until their return in the vale. lord max started out using his powers to regain some of his sight, but house arryn is quite secretive as of his exact whereabouts, and he is perhaps the less known and less public figure of his family, though he often appears by lady cora’s side on important occasions.

two years anniversary cast ! → cora arryn.

lady cora arryn ( 653 - ? ) is the only daughter of lord jax arryn and princess nymeria tyrell. she was named as a tribute to her maternal grandmother, queen corinne tully. as a child, lady cora was described as plain and homely, always standing in her mother’s shadow. she, however, appeared very devoted to her twin brother max, helping him with tasks his blindness did not let him perform, such as reading and navigating the convoluted corridors of the eyrie. the twins were sent away at age eleven to get to know their grandfather’s family in sunspear, their mother having always cherished her dornish roots. teenagehood served lady cora well, for she was later in life known as one of the most beautiful women in westeros. despite a fling with lord aurane greyjoy, then a ward in the eyrie, she married her childhood friend lord eon royce in 671, causing a small scandal for their difference in rank.

[deadliiestgame]

two years anniversary cast ! → lyonel baratheon.

lord lyonel baratheon ( 625 - ? ) is the second son of lord dallen baratheon and lady enid swann, though their first trueborn child. by the time lady enid presented her lord husband with a son, the latter had brought his illegitimate offspring dastan storm home and obtained his legitimization. barely eleven years old at the end of the rose rebellion, lord lyonel did not take part in it but lost his father to the war, seeing his brother’s ascent to the title of lord of storm’s end. he never followed a knightly training, preferring gentler arts ; his lady mother did her best to raise him and his sister, lady mareena, as detached from lord dastan as possible. his first betrothed, lady demelza lannister, died of grayscale as a teenager, and the young lord scandalized his household by a short-lived though passionate relationship with a stablegirl of the fortress, who was then married off elsewhere by lady enid. he is rumored to entertain a liaison with princess visenya targaryen, who wed his elder brother, and rumor has it the princess’ second child may have been fathered by lord lyonel.

two years anniversary cast ! → dastan baratheon.

lord dastan storm baratheon ( 619 - ? ) was born the illegitimate son of lord dallen baratheon and a lowborn woman whose name was lost to history. though lord dallen’s wife lady enid later gave birth to a son of her own, the lord of storm’s end had already brought his baseborn boy home and obtained his legitimization by king victarion targaryen, with no intentions of changing his mind. lord dastan was therefore deeply affected by his father’s death during the rose rebellion, killed by dragonsworn troops. his animosity lasted into his marriage to princess visenya targaryen, whom he treated unkindly until the birth of their daughter, lady evanna. since then, his wife’s semi-public affair with lord lyonel, dastan’s half-brother, was not commented upon by the lord himself, despite his second son’s blurry lineage. however, he dotes on his daughter, and has made her the first girl to be picked over a same-ranked male relative as lady of storm’s end.
