[quote=@Gowi] Tell me about the respective womenz (and menz). Though likely a few of these were decided before Rion was named Lord considering his yknow... nationalist views (though I imagine he'd be kosher with Valemen and Northmen). [/quote] Edric is a good ten years Riaon's younger and was only recently named Lord of Winterfell upon his father's demise. He's hot-blooded, crass and mercurial, but a charismatic, jovial fellow and an honest man who wears his emotions and agenda on his sleeve. Dunno if any kind of marriage/friendships would have formed prior to him ascending. Edwyn is spoken for, and Lyara is free spirit who would give Edric an earful if he was to demand she marry some 'fish boy'. If you think that would make for a fun plot though, we could play around with it. Which leaves Edric's uncle, Ethan, who serves as advisory figure to his nephew and a steadying hand his hot-bloodedness. A man more governed by logic than emotion. Possibly could've married a Tully in his glory days? His daughter and Edric's cousin, Alys, is a woman who walks the line of charming lady of court and your stereotypical northern woman (cracking skulls by day and reading bedtime stories by night). A diplomatic and level headed lass who'd rather talk things out, but knows how to open your neck if things go wrong. ... Shitty descriptions, I know, but I'm still working on my plans. :P
