Tymond Lannister: Tymond the Timid, they once called him beside the illustrious and arrogant Tommen, perhaps he had been. No such words would be uttered against him now having ousted his brother, claimed his wife for his own, and secured several heirs. King he may be, but he lacks renown, and these days, the blood of his brother’s children grows a dark stain upon his hands. Perhaps the gods will grant him salvation, perhaps piety is a worthy stupor, but Tymond gives himself to the faith, gives them his military and a growing control over his kingdom. He will bring his people the peace he so bluntly lacks, lead them into sinless lives. He may not be Tymond the Conqueror, but he will be Tymond the Pious, Tymond the Reborn.
Cerissa Lannister: A 16 year old Cerissa Reyne would have perhaps fled the altar had she captured a glimpse of her misery hence. A mummer’s farce it was to be cast aside by Tommen for the glories and mysteries of Valyria, never to return. She could counted the minutes, the days, and the years that saw faith turn to ashes in her heart. She is never sure these days what it was she found in the arms of her personal guard. Perhaps it was too humiliating to be solace alone. To have lost dignity, queenship and progeny for comfort. Imprisoned in the tower for months, made to walk the streets in naked penance, perhaps her mind was all too addled by the time she saw those two small corpses strung up at her coronation.Since, she has been a figure of fractures, a dutiful wife and queen, and a harlot in the beds of other men. These days, Cerissa is a volatile figure, a broken chalice of poisonous secrets.
Lancel Lannister: A sapling of a king, at best, Lancel was born early into an ill-advised union and has since suffered lackluster beginnings. Gifted at storytelling and excess, he is no glorious ruler in the making, and perhaps hates himself for it more than his father ever could. The throne is his, however, his sole consolation, and he will burn the heart of anyone to seeks to take it from him.
Tyresa Stark, nee Lannister: The forgotten middle child, Tyresa was promised to the Stark heir as soon as she was age, set apart from her siblings to accustom to a life in the North. Not that she managed this all that well, but it kept her just outside the circle of her dysfunctional family, watching them tear each other apart. By the time she was sent to the North, Tyresa belonged neither here nor there, but perhaps she was all too glad to go at least.
Tyana Lannister: Sharp as a thorn, and needlessly cutting, Tyana suffers no fools. She’s quick with her mind, a wretch lacking in loyalty, the only warmth in her heart is held for herself. Tyana knows well to pick her battles, however, and knows to play a trick when required. Perhaps that is why she lingers so close to the High Septon, clad in her prudish grey dresses, a devout figure at every turn.

Valar Morghulis RP
Brandon Mallister - The Lord of House Mallister and husband to Phaerun. A proud man of the Riverlands doing all in his power to protect his home and family while considering options to see the Riverlands free of Ironborn control.
Phaelyn Frey - Phaelyn is Phaerun's Identical sister and younger by a few minutes. Lyn has a sharp tongue and even hotter temper, and when it comes to Westeros she usually makes it clear she dislikes the place. However, she is a devoted wife, even if she hasn't yet produced an heir for her husband. Underneath she is a caring woman, and still in love with her idiot husband.
Byran Frey - Lord Byran is the Head of House Frey, iron willed and fiercely spirited. Often called the Redsword for his eagerness to fight and see blood. His temper is matched by his wife's. He is unforgiving in the tolls he demands of those who cross his lands. He has begun to grow in wealth and status from the coin flowing into the Twins.
Xaro of Lorath - Kingmaker, and perhaps the lynchpin of Marcyn Arryn’s ascendancy, Xaro came to court years ago as an escaped slave and eventually rose to serve as Hand to King Oswell, and his supporters would claim he tempered the mad king’s violent tendencies. Present during Oswell’s death, Xaro is party to covering up the king’s murder, and so now serves as Marcyn’s Hand and watches closely for signs of the same affliction in the usurper. One might imagine the Kingmaker has complicated loyalties.
Petyr Egen - Primarily responsible for spurring the rising civil conflict into a bloodshed, Petyr is better known as the Warmonger amidst refined circles. He doesn’t give much of a damn. A blacksmith of Ironoaks, others’ opinions of him are rarely flattering. More interested in taking power back from nobles, being bestowed titles and lands is perhaps more in his plan than he’d like to realise.
Catelyn Templeton - Lady of Ninestars and mother to its heir, Catelyn is deeply committed to the idea of a benevolent nobility. So much so that she defied the orders of her father and then-betrothed to serve as a healer for those wounded in the conflict, crossing paths with the usurper. She returned partway, and wed Lord Willem Templeton and bore him a son in quick succession. There are unsavoury rumours circulating around the boy’s paternity, but Catelyn remains as she was: an impeccable being of noble convictions.
Willem Templeton - Lord of Ninestars and once the deposed King Oswell’s most trusted general, Willem was raised loyal to his crown and country, a faith that wavered in the face of Oswell’s heightening insanity. With the usurper Marcyn’s forces advancing, Willem chose to place his strongholds at the foot of the mountain to meet the advancing forces. Some call it a calculated betrayal of his king, as it left Oswell vulnerable. Now even without Oswell, Willem wields considerable power still and takes his place in Marcyn’s court.
Violca Hersey - Wild and intemperate, Violca grew up a commoner in Gulltown, largely left to her own whims by a family besieged by a quick succession of siblings. She met Marcyn Arryn shortly before the Culling of Ironoaks, and stayed loyal and fierce by his side through the civil war. A fine soldier, she now serves as Marcyn’s informer. Their relationship is colder somewhat, and one wonders if Violca takes slight at the titles being bestowed to her family, and herself lacking any formal role in Marcyn’s council.
King Arlan Durrandon of the Stormlands is more ambitious than he is clever. His father’s sudden passing came as a shock to the Stormlands. Arlan is in no way prepared to fill his father’s throne, though he is determined to make a name for himself. Yet, to do so will likely upset the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. He is resolved to take the Riverlands back from the Ironborn and King Harren’s vulnerability is part of the perfect storm.
Civil war has finally burned down to embers but discontent still festers deep within the heart of the Mountains and the Vale. King Oswell Arryn, gone mad with rage, cruelty, and greed, had perhaps decided that if his line couldn’t have the Vale, then no one could. The heirless king’s bloody reign has ended, at the hands of his own kin. Marcyn Arryn, the newly crowned king, begins his own reign in the crimson shadow of his uncle’s tyranny. King Marcyn has inflicted much disarray unto the delicate hierarchy of the kingdom. Bestowing great honors and lands upon his supporters, revolutionaries who fought alongside him in his conquest. He has also made many enemies of the houses stripped of power, wealth, and influence. Some are unperturbed, finding footing in their new circumstances lest they face the wrath of their king once more, whilst others burn with indignation at being ruled by a man of royal blood raised as a commoner.
King Harren Hoare, once an accomplished conqueror, has been rendered powerless. A man whose philosophies rested upon the iron price is no longer capable of ruling with his once iron fist. An attempt was made on Harren’s life with widow’s blood, a slow-acting substance that shuts down the bladder and bowels until the person dies from the body’s own poisons. Whether or not it was a widow’s revenge or an attack from an enemy within his household is unknown. However, with the king incapacitated his heir, Harmund Hoare, rules in his stead. While Harmund ought to be building his armies, he continues to build his father’s great fortress, Harrenhal, a dark and ominous edifice towering into the clouds at the expense of the Riverlands, and to the ire of its oppressed lords. A rebellion is brewing, and not just among the Riverlanders, but within the Hoare household.

The Stormlands Royal Family: House Durrandon of Storm’s End Regent: Arlan Durrandon Recent Events: Arlan Durrandon succeeds his father as king, inexperienced and bloodthirsty in his quest to wrench the Riverlands back from the Hoares, especially now that Black Harren seems out of the way and there is no clear successor. The North Royal Family: House Stark of Winterfell Regent: Rickard Stark Recent Events: The Red Wail, a virulent epidemic, culls the population, whilst wildling attacks from beyond the wall escalate. Princess Alysanne is missing, and feared dead, but is in fact a hostage of the Ironborn. Dorne Royal Family: House Martell of Sunspear Regent: Meria Nymos Martell Recent Events: Sellsword occupation of Dornish waters, causing a worsening shortage of food and resources, and a trade crisis.
