Rarely talking about his deceased wife as it is a sore subject. Bio Raylan was the youngest of the Trelliss brothers.

Molly coddled by his mother but ignored by his father leaving largely because how his mother had doted on him so, raised largely by the his mother, the ladies of his parents court and maesters. Left without any major male figures to help him grow, the only exception being his brothers. Growing to be quite the looker which earned him more attention in his youth flourishing among people males and females alike. But still fell behind the shadows of the brothers, where his Michael excelled with the intrigue and James with military skill. Raylan had excelled in politics and the social arena, that helped lessen the distance between the Trelliss house and the others. Softening the blow, helping mending relations with the other houses.

Much like her father she is immensely well liked and flowers in the crowd. Hard to hate such a young and aspiring figure that is loved threw out the Vale. The charm in her sweet voice puts most to ease. The sweet and innocent persona though isn’t all that it seems as it can be both her greatest weapon or weakness and is notorious for humiliating suitors the press for hand when she comes of age. Bio Ceria’s birth was both joyous and cause for distraught. Welcoming a beautiful girl to the world but losing the unnamed mother the birthing sickness. Brought up in a very protective environment as Lord Raylan’s only child. Though as she blossomed her charming nature of her father, her mother's grace and the beauty of both swirled to create a prodigal child.

Now however as suitors lined up for her hand when she comes of age she plays with them. Toying with the young men since she’s been given free range to choose her betrothed unless ordered by her father.

Traits Tough, Enduring, Seasoned, Warrior, Skilled, Wise, Vision, Attentive, Strong, Zealous, Mature, Loyal Personality Lorvik being a part of the old guard is an extremely loyal man to the Trelliss family, more so to Raylan than to James or the late King Michael.

Bio Lorvik is actually the son of Raylan’s mother’s brother. Born the third son, having nothing to his name and would never inherit.
