   The news that his wife was once again with child was music to Dontin’s ears. He thanked the gods for another blessing and hoped that this child would be a girl, a little lady for him to dote on and for Eddara to spoil as well. Her belly had only started to swell slightly when she fell sick and Dontin had spared no expense to get both her and his unborn child healthy once more. It was all for nothing. The news that his wife had passed due to fever had come early in the morning and Dontin was left to mourn for his wife and child.  In the sept, it was cold and dark but Dontin had to make the ride to High Garden. Even though his wife was not of his faith, he had no idea how to pray to the old gods but still, he had to pray to someone for her and his child.  Despite the morning being early, Dontin had heard the footsteps approaching behind him but still he did not move from his prayer. He waited instead for the person to approach him.

         A long walk was exactly what she had needed after the previous day she was cooped up inside the castle. The weather was slightly colder and she was happy for it because of how much it did remind her of her first home. “You can join me if you’d like,” she said with a smile on her face for a greeting, “I always enjoy walks when they are with another person.”

Full name: Edric Storm Years of age: 27 Title / Rank: Bastard Face claim: Aneurin Barnard

Biography

Edric is one of the many bastards of Robert Baratheon but with his mother as Delena Florent , a noble woman and a maiden when Robert took her to bed, Robert had no choice but to acknowledge the boy as his son so sent him to Storm’s End to be fostered with Renly, one of Edric’s uncles, and under the guardianship of Cortnay Penrose. Edric knew from a young age about his parentage and that his conception bought great insult to his uncle Stannis as he was conceived on the night of Stannis and Selyse’s wedding. With jet black hair and deep blue eyes, there is no doubt that he is one of Robert’s children and people comment how much he looks like his father and his uncle Renly but he also has the large ears that are common with House Florent from his mother. On his name day, he would receive a present from his father but it was actually Varys that sent the gifts, not Robert.

When the War of the Five Kings took place, Edric was still with his guardian, Ser Cortnay Penrose while his uncles and other fought for the Iron Throne. Throughout this time he did not believe himself to be loyal to either uncle since he thought the true King would be one of Robert’s true born sons and he thought that to be the blonde children he had with Cersei Lannister. Once they were proved to be bastards and by the Queen’s brother and Westeros was divided into Seven Kingdoms, Edric wanted to remain in the Stormlands but not in Storm’s End since he knew clearly about how Stannis felt about him so went with Cortnay Penrose to the Parchments.

Now that Ser Penrose has been named the Hand to King Renly, Edric wants to move with his guardian since he still believes that he would not be safe on his own in a Kingdom where Stannis is the ruler, given the rumors of Melisandre’s blood magic and how she could use his blood to further her own plans. Knowing that he is a bastard, he knows that his aspirations are limited but aspires to climb the ranks within the Baratheon army, to show his solidarity with his father’s house and to make a name for himself.

Flaws & Virtues

⚫ Stubborn, Entitled, Arrogant ⚫ Charming, Polite, Helpful

Harrold hated his crown. It never seemed to fit right although everyone else seemed to like it and assure him that it was good. He was never meant to be King and never wanted it so that was why he thought that did not feel good. He only wore it on special occasions and for when guests came to the Vale. “Welcome to the Vale and the Eyrie. I hope that you have a pleasant time here.”

Full name: Jorah Mormont Years of age: 60 Title / Rank: Advisor/Outlaw Face claim: Iain Glen

Biography

Jorah is the only son and child of Jeor Mormont. When Jorah matured and became a man, his father, Jeor, abdicated his seat and left the lordship of Bear Island to Jorah. With his father joining the Night’s Watch, Jorah became the Lord of Bear Island. After his thirty-fifth name day, Jorah fought in the Greyjoy Rebellion which was where he distinguished himself as a courageous soldier on the battlefield. Jorah was one of the first men through the breach during the siege of Pyke. That, along with his dedication and performance in battle was what earned Jorah a Knighthood from King Robert Baratheon himself for recognition of his bravery. While this was a happy time for Jorah, it was not long before this event that his wife, a member of House Glover, had died after her third miscarriage. After the failed Greyjoy rebellion, a tourney was hosted at Lannisport which Ser Jorah won and crowned Lynesse Hightower his Queen of Love and Beauty and then, smitten with her beauty, he asked for her hand in marriage and, to his surprise, Lord Leyton Hightower, her father, agreed and the two married. It was a love marriage but the happiness did not last long. Jorah’s wife had spent her life in the rich and prosperous Reach and so quickly disliked her life on the isolated Bear Island, growing miserable because of it. This was noticed by Ser Jorah who tried to appease her and reproduce her lavish lifestyle with expensive gifts but it drove him to financial ruin. Being desperate to pay off his debts, Jorah resorted to breaking of the Seven Kingdom’s oldest taboos by participating in the slave trade. When Eddard Stark learned that Jorah sold poachers so a Tyroshi slaver, he condemned Jorah to death but when Eddard arrived on Bear Island to execute him, Jorah had fled with his wife to Lys rather than be executed or take the black like his father. He became a sellsword in Lys but was still unable to afford the lifestyle that his wife wanted so she took a lover that told Jorah to leave the city and Lynesse otherwise he would be enslaved because of his debts. A heartbroken Jorah then left to Volantis and then the Free Cities to work as an unaffiliated mercenary, selling his sword to whoever paid the highest price.

In the years after Jorah left Lys, Jorah was in Pentos where he attended the wedding of Daenerys Targaryen to Khal Drogo under the instruction of Varys who has Jorah report the Targaryen’s movements to him in return for a royal pardon. As he travels with Daenerys and the Khalasar, Jorah comes to admire Daenerys for her integrity and courage and is present when Khal Drogo kills Viserys. When Khal Drogo is near death, Jorah remains loyal to Daenerys and her unborn child to Drogo. When Kgal Drogo dies, Jorah worries that his Queen plans to commit suicide upon her husband’s pyre and begs her not to but she does not listen to him. Jorah watches in amazement as Daenerys rises out of the ashes, unburnt and with three dragons. Ser Jorah is the first of Daenerys’ Queensguard. As Jorah falls more in love with his Queen, he stops sending information back to Westeros. During the War of Five Kings, Jorah remains with his Queen as they sail to Slaver’s Bay to buy Unsullied. There, he meets Missandei, a young girl with a talent for languages, and commands his Queen’s army to victory against Yunkai and freeing the slaves. Not long after, Ser Jorah learns of the death of the false King, Joffrey Baratheon, name changed to Waters, and that Westeros is going to be a divided Kingdom again so writes to Varys about Daenerys having one of the regions to rule. After negotiating with the other Kings and members of the Council, Daenerys is given the Vale as it would be best suited for her dragons. With this news, Jorah also reveals his work with Varys as an informant and tells Daenerys and although hurt, she says she will try and forgive them as they sail to their new home of the Vale.

In the fourteen years after the war, Jorah remains in King’s Landing to serve his Queen as her spokesperson for the Council while dividing his time between King’s Landing and the Vale. He knows that the people grow fearful each day of the dragons and of the Queen but hoped that her ward, and heir, Harrold Hardyng would dispell those doubts. When Harrold took the throne and the dragons, Jorah was in King’s Landing and after learning that Daenerys was to flee to Mereen, he went straight for the ship. He is now looking for his Queen and wants to help her regain her throne in the Vale and to take back her dragons back from the usurper.
