Ok, I’m waiting for someone to notice that Theon Greyjoy has a distant relative, from the time of the Dance of the Dragons, that essentially goes through the same thing as him.
When Rodrik Greyjoy was taken to Casterly Rock as a captive, Lady Johanna had him gelded and made him her son's fool.
There’s no more information on this incident, but I would love if GRR Martin would expand on it. In the meantime, this makes me think that the Greyjoys seem doomed to repeat their history.
... Lady Johanna, the widow of Casterly Rock, who ruled the domains of House Lannister for her young son, Lord Loreon. She had appealed time and time again to Aegon III’s Hand, her late lord husband’s twin, for aid against the reavers, but none had been forthcoming. Desperate to protect her people, Lady Johanna at last donned a man’s mail to lead the men of Lannisport and Casterly Rock against the foe. The songs tell of how she slew a dozen ironmen beneath the walls of Kayce, but those may be safely put aside as the work of drunken singers (Johanna carried a banner into battle, not a sword). Her courage did help inspire her westermen, however, for the raiders were soon routed and Kayce was saved. Amongst the dead was the Red Kraken’s favorite uncle.
Wonder if Loreon will still be born here or if one of Naerys's sons ends up Lord of the Rock??
He would be! Although Loreon is born pretty late in the game, Naerys does have her own lands in the shape of Widow's Town. One of her three sons or one of her two daughters would have to take over no matter what. Tommen and Jocasta are certainly suggested, but everyone agrees that consolidating the bloodline too much would not be in their best interest given that Naerys's heir is one of her children and Tyland is just (a very wealthy) second son so she should have priority before divvying up succession.
Also, Jason is not willing to give up that easy to get a son, and Johanna is just as determined.
I’ve decided to update the Prologue chapter eventually, there will be some changes but the biggest is that I want Rosalind to be married to Tywin for longer, and that means more heirs to the Lannister legacy. I’m getting better with using Artbreeder, though it’s still not quite what I would truly like it to be. I have these potential children all planned out for birth dates and appearances but I will not reveal more than the first two’s years to avoid unwanted spoilers.
Tyrus Lannister, the heir to Casterly Rock
Born: 299AC at Casterly Rock
Looks: He possesses the traditional Lannister colors, Tyrus has light golden hair that he wears short with emerald green eyes. He resembles his half-brother Jaime and Uncle Kevan or a softer feature version of his father Tywin. (Eyes reference, duller and a bit darker)
Name: From the Lannister traditions of “Ty” and works as a combination of Ty+win in regards to his sister Winona as the first two children of Tywin from Rosalind. The name Tyrus means “land of the yew tree” from Tyrone and “heir to the throne” from Cyrus. The fictional weirwood trees resemble real-life yew trees to reference Rosalind’s homeland and fulfill Tywin’s dream of a worthy heir to replace Jaime and prevent Tyrion’s claim from coming to fruition after his death.
Winona Lannister
Born: 299AC at Casterly Rock
Looks: She displays the classical appearance of Lannister women with wavy golden hair, though hers is much darker than the common light whitish blonde hair. Winona has jade-green eyes flecked with gold like her father’s. She does not have the true beauty that Cersei, Myrcella, and Joanna possess. Winona is considered to be fairly pretty though not particularly remarkable. (Wavy hair alternate and Eyes reference)
Name: Winona is partially named after her father’s suffix matching Tyrus’ name possessing the prefix of Tywin’s name. Winona originates from the Dakota people and their language wherein Winúŋna means “first-born daughter”. It is closely related to Wynora / Eleanor which is derived from Greek and means “shining light”.
Aredian Lannister
Born: xxxAC at Casterly Rock
Looks: He primarily reflects his Lannister heritage with some traces of the Stark long facial structure. Aredian has golden hair that he wears shoulder length with some light waves in texture. In his beard, eyebrows, and hair undertones there are hints of the Tully auburn color. His eyes are minty grey-green and melancholic. Aredian is considered to be of average appearance with no common trait of attractiveness. (Eyes reference)
Name: Aredian is derived from many different things. In Scandinavian cultures, Ari means eagle, and Ari in Hebrew means lion. In the Badaga language, Ari also means “sun-like”. The combination of an eagle and a lion create the griffin creature which is seen as the king of kings for beasts as the lion is referred to as the king of the jungle and the eagle the king of skies. Aredian is partially remade from Adrian which from Latin correlates to the sea or water to make a general reference to Casterly Rock’s location on the coast of the Sunset Sea.
Pronounced as “Uh - rid - ian”, similar to iridium
Loreon Lannister
Born: xxxAC in King’s Landing
Looks: He has golden hair with pale green eyes flecked with gold, his eyes are shrewd and calculating. Loreon is a spitting image of Tywin in his youth, he resembles his father tremendously leading to comments on Loreon being Tywin’s twin or clone. Loreon wears his hair short and tidy. He sports a light beard that is also neatly trimmed. (Eyes reference)
Name: From the ancestors of House Lannister, Loreon the first King of the Rock.
Clayre Lannister
Born: xxxAC in King’s Landing
Looks: Clayre has auburn hair with bright green eyes. She favors Rosalind the most and is fond of her Tully heritage. Her hair is straight and she generally wears it long and unadorned. There are soft brown undertones to her hair. Clayre is comely in appearance and is often regarded favorably like her Aunt Sansa and Grandmother Catelyn. (Eyes reference)
Name: It is a respelling of Claire which means bright, clear, and famous. From French and Latin origins it can also be described as “fair-colored”. Rosalind named Clayre after her mother.
Rory Lannister
Born: xxxAC in ????
Looks: Rory has golden auburn hair that he wears long and wavy curls. His eyes are wolf-like with a wildfire-green color. His hair could be called golden copper, golden red, or similar descriptions. Rory’s hair is primarily auburn red with natural golden highlights that are subtle in most lights. He generally is clean-shaven and is well regarded as handsome though his eyes are commonly thought to be striking and full of burning hunger. (Long hair reference, younger Rory somewhat, wildfire color reference albeit not glowing)
Name: Rory’s name is Irish and means “red king”, derived from the High King of Ireland in the 1100s who fought against Anglo-Norman invaders. It is similar to Rodrik, Roderick, Rogar, etc.
Cerion Lannister
Born: xxxAC in ????
Looks:
Name: From the ancestors of House Lannister, Cerion a King of the Rock who greatly extended the kingdom’s domain.
Marius Lannister
Born: xxxAC in ????
Looks: Marius has sandy blondish brown hair with pretty sea-green eyes. (hair is lighter than in the picture, blonder highlights, and eye color reference)
Name: Marius is comprised of a few naming elements. One aspect is from “Maria” which means “a drop of the sea” and another is Mars being the Roman god of war leading to a meaning like “sea wars, or warrior of the sea”. From Latin Marino / Marinus there’s a general relation to the ocean or sea.
Rosalind wishes to name girls after Joanna and Jeyne Lannister to honor Tywin’s first wife and mother, but he eventually only agrees on the condition that she can name them as such if she has twin girls
I figured now since I’m just ignoring show canon it’s a good time to finally post some art of my JB kids ^^ I’ve had these characters for a while now (Joanna and Galladon made their debut in the back of a high school notebook back in 2014) but I’ve barely done anything with them.
As far as I’m concerned, show Jaime and Bri survived the war and returned to Tarth to rule and raise their little pride of lion cubs, and that is the only ending I will be accepting at this time thank you
(I've but some brief bios under the cut for anyone who’s interested)
Joanna — Spirited, confident, and quick witted, follows the path of knighthood and becomes a skilled fighter like her parents. Not easily deterred from doing whatever she sets her mind to, sometimes to her detriment. It is important to her that she earns her accomplishments through her own hard work rather than a result of her station, so she will often refuse the easy path in favour of doing things her own way. She’s also naturally left-handed.
Galladon — Very diplomatic and more politically minded than his sister. He’s well-read and well-travelled, and lives for new experiences. He is quite charismatic and very empathetic, and finds it easy to win over allies and smallfolk alike. Dedicated to his people and his family. Heir to Tarth.
Loreon — More level-headed and practical, although sometimes can be a bit of a wet blanket. More often than not the voice of reason among his siblings. Essentially Galladon’s right-hand man, dutiful and loyal and very protective. Doesn’t dream of glory necessarily but desires to do his part for the greater good.
Alys — A free spirit, very impulsive and short-tempered. Quite adventurous by nature, preferring to live a sort of nomadic life, travelling and doing as she pleases when it suits her rather than be confined to a role of nobility and expectations. Frequently runs into trouble, more often than not of her own making. Has just as many enemies as she does friends. Elder twin to Tyanna.
Tyanna — More composed than her twin and far more willing to live in her role as a lady. Politically savvy, although much firmer than Galladon, who often rules more emotionally where Tyanna is more pragmatic. Stands her ground but knows when to pick her battles, and although she can be quick to anger she is far better as hiding it than most of her siblings.
