House: Arryn of the Vale
Green or Black: Black
Recent History:

Normally somewhat isolated from greater Westerosi politics, House Arryn threw its might behind Queen Rhaenyra, daughter as she was of an Arryn. Despite snows blocking the usual passes out of the Vale, the fleet of Gulltown was used, along with many a commandeered fishing and trading vessel to bring the levy of the Vale into the war. Lady Jeyne, the Maiden of the Vale, now sits on the regency council for her young cousin. Her cousin and heir, Artys Arryn, commanded the armies of the Vale in the conflict and has joined his sister in the capital, while his younger brother watches over The Eyrie and Vale.

King Aegon, the Third of His Name of House Targaryen, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men.

12 Years of Age

Head of the Royal House of Targaryen


Prince Aegon's was a happy childhood in the early days. His mother always near, his older brothers active and kind, island of Dragonstone a place he had always found fascinating. He was ever fond of lemon cakes, and fresh fruits, sweet wines and ciders. He loved singers and minstrels and mummer shows. Aegon has always loved sailing. It was a wonderful portion of his life, and a place to which Aegon can escape to in his thoughts and imagination when things always get too bad, too deafening for him.

That happiness ended when the Dance of Dragons began. Instead of a great, glorious, affair all Aegon saw during this time was his family slowly bleed itself to near extinction. That so much falls upon his young shoulders was a dread that doubled with each death of his family. His mother became a twisted, fanatical, shadow of her formal self. Bannerman faultered, advisors lied, spies double-crossed, men deserted; young Aegon had thought to himself that he had seen nearly everything. All of it was bearable so long as he had the anchor of his mother.

When Aegon witnessed his mother eaten by a dragon before his very eyes, he lost more than just an anchor. He lost childhood, and gained fear and anxiety. Where many might have became paranoid and erratic, young Aegon was said to appear resigned and reserved--like a boy used to betrayals and murder in every day life during the Dance. But in hardening his world view and outward expression, Aegon disconnected with the world. That only got worse the moment Aegon was grabbed up by the Kinsguard and thrown into a dungeon.

Aegon was left to the darkness and the rats. Left to the echoes of agony and madness for hour upon endless hour. Himself half starved and left to rot, until he was pulled out from living death and returned to the sun. Aegon was glad someone had murdered his uncle because that was the man that tossed him away into that dungeon nightmare; let alone what was done to his mother. But within his own heart there had never been a desire to punish, only to move on...with one exception. And that is a score that Aegon is determined to settle in the long term.

Thus far Aegon has given a strong performance as boy king; he has yet to be cut by the Iron Throne and holds a decent command of a room for a twelve year old. Of his remaining family Aegon seems close to only the infectious twin sisters Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, though he hadn't met many others, and the protective older girls are the closest things he currently has to friends and family. When talk of marriage comes up, Baela and Rhaena are often considered the frontrunners.

Name: Viserys Targaryen, Rightful Prince of the Seven Kingdoms and Prince of Dragonstone
Age: 9
House/Affilitation: House Targaryen

Appearance: Mature for a child of only nine years, were he to encounter his brother once more, there would be little between the kinsmen. A typical child of High Valyrian stock, with purple eyes and silver-blonde hair. Not only is he tall for his age, Viserys holds himself with a more mature bearing, the events of his life putting an age to his eyes and mind that no child of nine should have, as with many children of the Dance.

Biography:

Viserys Targaryen was the last son of Rhaenyra. The last surviving child following his mother's miscarriage immediately after the death of his grandsire, King Viserys I. As with all of the Targaryen children, an egg was placed in his cradle alongside him, but failed to hatch, at least immediately. As a child Viserys spent most of his time with his immediate family upon Dragonstone, his mother's seat. Thus they were away from the capital when King Viserys died. At the age of seven, Viserys took little part in the fighting of the Dance, but his life would be irreversibly changed by it.

Later in the year both Aegon and Viserys were sent away to Essos aboard the Gay Abandon bound for Pentos. The ship never reached its destination, the fleet of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters intercepted the ship. The future King Aegon III was able to escape upon his dragon, but Viserys, with only an unhatched egg, could not do so. Showing clear initiative, Viserys disguised himself and hid his dragon egg, however, he was betrayed to those who had been sent to capture the future of Rhaenyra's line. Admiral Lohar took the young prince into his custody, taking the boy back to Tyrosh. To his family still fighting in the Seven Kingdoms, the young prince was dead, likely sent to the bottom of the sea along with his precious egg.

This, however, has not been the case. Viserys has spent the intervening years in a loop of changing fortunes, passed between the ambitious nobility of the Three Daughters and then, after its fall, the once again rivals of the three cities. At first locked away in the confines of the Lohar estate, after the disastrous naval conflicts of the Civil War and the fall from grace of the family, the young Targaryen fell into the hands of petty slavers, who attempted to twist the steadfast child to their ends. Such a fate was only prevented when the nobility of Tyrosh located him, recovering the valuable child through raiding the slavers' camp. Passed between various 'owners' even since then, of varying aim and care, the young boy now finds himself in a ship's hold, bound for Lys.

House Lannister

of Casterly Rock


Hear Me Roar!

House Lannister of Casterly Rock is one of the Great Houses of Seven Kingdoms, and the principal house of the Westerlands. Their seat is Casterly Rock, though another branch exists that is based in nearby Lannisport. Their sigil is a golden lion on a field of crimson. Their official motto is "Hear Me Roar!" However, their unofficial motto, equally well known, is "A Lannister always pays his debts." The Warden of the West is a Lannister by tradition.

Fair-haired, tall, and handsome, the Lannisters are the blood of Andal adventurers who carved out a mighty kingdom in the western hills and valleys. Through the female line they boast of descent from Lann the Clever, the legendary trickster of the Age of Heroes who tricked the members of House Casterly into giving him Casterly Rock during the era of the First Men.

The Lannisters reigned as Kings of the Rock until they fell to the Targaryen conquest, but were allowed to remain the liege lords of the westerlands.


Green or Black: Green
Recent History: Much as the war ravaged Westeros, the Lannisters were dealt their fair share of loss. Jason was slain by Pate of Longleaf in the Battle at the Red Fork which left Casterly Rock in considerable disarray. While his widow was left to defend the Westerlands from the Greyjoys, Tyland fared little better. Appointed master of coin by Alicent Hightower, he seized the treasury for safekeeping, including sending a quarter of funds to Casterly Rock. Although a staunch supporter of Aegon II, he surrendered with the Dowager Queen to Rhaenyra in 130 AC. He was tortured to uncover where the treasury had been hidden. Blinded, gelded, and mutilated, he did not break. With the war recently over, Tyland has positioned himself to regain a role in the small council. House Lannister has been broken by war, their new lord known as wastrel and little else. Although Tyland vies for a position of power in King’s Landing, Casterly Rock and the Westerlands teeter on the edge of losing it all.

Name: Lady Johanna Lannister (Westerling)

Age: 46
Biography:
Far from a weak woman, Lady Johanna is left tightly gripping what little control she maintains over her son and House. Her husband's death during the Dance left Casterly Rock and the Westerlands shattered as control passed to their eldest son, Cerion. While the Kraken remain an ever present threat, Cerion threatens to destroy all that was built from within.

As the days pass, her control has weakened. Lord Jason had been a fair ruler and husband, yet few trusted the Westerling woman to rule while three healthy sons of age remained. She has relegated herself to the background, to meeting privately with the lords of the westerlands. Rumors, perhaps even stupidly started by Cerion, that her secret meetings are in fact affairs, have damaged her reputation.

Grief and stress have taken their toll. Once a vibrant and robust woman, Johanna has become withdrawn, even from her dearest daughter and niece. The more intuitive members of court worry what will become of the House if she were to let go completely.

Biography:

Name: Lady Alysanne Westerling

Age: 17
Biography:
Lady Alysanne came to Casterly Rock at the tender age of eight namedays. Her aunt thought her a perfect playmate to her young daughter, Cerelle. Most of Alysanne's memories - bad and good - are from her time among the Lannisters. The eldest child of the Westerlings' youngest son, her place beside the Lannister girl was seen as another boon for a family of dwindling fortune.

Without a doubt, Alysanne received much more with the Lannisters than had she remained at her family lands. Lady Johanna ensured her niece never went without. Yet all was not well. Cerelle's devious nature, her temper, was used like a weapon against Alysanne. From the earliest days of her time at Casterly Rock, the girl learned to hide the abuses she suffered. Ridicule became a daily occurrence, and as Cerelle's closest friend, there was barely a day that passed without needing to be in her presence.

The bright glimmers of hope came far and few between. Sometimes her aunt would join them for the day, that would bring a brief respite with harsher punishment when Cerelle could again be herself. Flowering into adulthood brought other problems, largely in the form of Ser Lyman. Alysanne was completely besotted. Instead of Cerelle's cruelty, in Lyman, Alysanne found grace and kindness. She once mistakenly uttered her dream of marrying the brother to which Cerelle promised on her life would never happen.

At seventeen namedays, she knows her family and aunt seek to find a suitable match. Alysanne finds herself relieved at perhaps finally being free of the abuse, but heartbroken at the truth that she will never be Lyman's wife. The fears of a foolish summer child. The war touched Alysanne, the death of Lord Jason came as a hard blow to her aunt and cousins. Her own close family was not left unscathed, yet she was shielded from the worst of war, confined to the daily battles of living as Cerelle's plaything.

Tyrosh of the Free Cities


Black or Green: Green

History:

Tyrosh, member of the ill-fated Triarchy, was on dire straits after a series of political blunders or twists of fate lead by the former Archon. The Triarchy accepted an offer of alliance from Ser Otto Hightower, the Hand to King Aegon II Targaryen, to assist the Greens. Most notably was the Triarchy's fleets strike against the Gay Abandon which resulted with the capture of Viserys Targaryen. The fleet met a less impressive fate when after the sacking of Spicetown and High Tide they were beset by dragons that crippled the fleet.

A dark cloud was floating on the horizon for the Triarchy. Lys had fallen in upon itself in a frenzy when a Lyseni admiral was murdered by a rival for the affections of the courtesan known as the Black Swan. Moreover, An alliance between Braavos, Pentos, and Lorath was formed to contest the Triarchy and has been putting immense pressure on the cities, though Myr has taken the greatest burnt of the military threat.

House Velaryon

House Words: The Old, the True, the Brave




Green or Black: Blacks

Recent History: The Velaryons are an ancient and proud house, possessing the blood and ancestry of Old Valyria. During the height of Valyria, it can be assumed that the Velaryons were an insignificant noble house, given that the Targaryens were already the least powerful of the Dragonlords of Valyria. As such, they were already established on Driftmark long before the Targaryens fled to Dragonstone, allegedly after they concluded a pact with the Merling King whom gave them the Driftwood Throne. Notable settlements includes the castles of Driftmark and High Tide, and the cities of Hull and Spice Town, though Spice Town was completely destroyed and High Tide was considerably damaged during the Dance. The head of House Velaryon traditionally holds the titles of Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark. Since the Targaryens' arrival to Dragonstone, the Velaryons have been loyal vassals and the staunchest of allies, often inter-marrying with each other and holding high positions of counsel, usually that of master of ships.

Due to Driftmark being the largest island in Blackwater Bay, it has positioned House Velaryon as one of the strongest naval and merchantile powers in the Narrow Sea. Their coffers would overflow with the gold gained by facilitating trade from Essos into Westeros and their navy soon rivaled that of the Ironborn's to further assist in their trade efforts and to directly combat the threat of piracy that always seemed to be ever present within the Stepstones. If the Targaryens were the terrors of the skies with their dragons, then the Velaryons commanded the same amount of dominance on the seas with their ships.

Upon the start of the War of Conquest, the strong relationship between the two houses could be seen, with Valaena Velaryon as the mother of Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya, including Velaryones serving as the first few masters of ships, as well as Ser Corlys Velaryon becoming the first Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. This bond would only strengthen throughout the years, reaching its eventual height under Lord Corlys the Sea Snake.

When the Dance of the Dragons began, it was hardly to anyone's surprise that House Velaryon sided with the blacks, since Princess Rhaenyra had been married to Laenor Velaryon prior to his death, and Lord Corlys was married to Princess Rhaenys Targaryon. House Velaryon made up nearly the entirety of the blacks' naval force and the majority of the blacks' army from Blackwater Bay carried a seahorse on their banners. All of this was further bolstered by the Velaryons' legendary wealth and prestige. It was certainly fortunate that the aging Lord Corlys overcame a brief illness to throw his lot in with the blacks, because it was surely his name alone that further solidified the legitimacy of Princess Rhaenyra's claim based on his acquired riches and legend. Regardless, his skill as a diplomat probably saw no equal and he was the driving force that largely held the blacks together.

Early in the war, Lord Corlys had his immense fleets launched from Spice Town and Hull to blockade King's Landing, essentially crippling all trade from Essos to the capital. This would prove to be shortlived, however, with the blockade eventually broken, with Spice Town completely devastated, High Tide sacked, and a significant portion of the Velaryon fleet sank. As such, the Battle in the Gullet, forced a heavy price upon Lord Corlys and House Velaryon. Additionally, due to Princess Rhaenyra's failure to provide adequate support for the Battle of Rook's Rest resulted in the death of Princess Rhaenys, Lord Corlys was on the verge of leaving the war before he was brought back into the fold after being made Hand of the Queen.

It was determined early in the war that the blacks had access to many dragons, but few dragon riders, so the dragonseeds were recruited to attempt to tame these rogue dragons in both Driftmark and Dragonstone. Among these dragonseeds were Addam of Hull, and his brother Alyn, both reputedly bastard sons of Laenor Valaryon, but it was rumored that their true father was Lord Corlys. Their mother had been a daughter of a shipwright, which happened to be the same shipyards that Lord Corlys had spent a large amount of time at prior to both of their births. Keeping his distance from them was probably the best way to avoid the ire of his wife, whom was well known for her fiery temper.

Addam would prove sucessful in taming his dragon, Seasmoke, and raised to knighthood to join in the war effort. Alyn would prove less fortunate in his attempt to ride Sheepstealer who coated his back and legs with dragonfire, and would have assuredly killed him if Addam hadn't come to his rescue. These burns would scar Alyn for the rest of his life.

With the realization that House Velaryon was lacking heirs, Lord Corlys petitioned Rhaenyra to remove the stain of bastardry from both Addam and Alyn, formally making them heirs to Driftmark. She accepted but would soon be shaken by the action of the Two Betrayers. Following the betrayal, many, including Rhaenyra, suspected both the boys of treachery. Despite Lord Corlys speaking on their behalf, Rhaenyra was certain that neither one could be trusted. With Alyn safe back at Driftmark, Lord Corlys had Addam flee before he could be arrested, resulting in the Second Battle of Tumbleton where Addam bravely sacrificed his life to defeat the enemies of Rhaenyra. However, because of his actions against the Queen, Corlys was thrown in the dungeons, which caused all the Velaryon banners and navy to desert the blacks and return to Driftmark.

Upon the conclusion of the war, Lord Corlys would be pardoned by King Aegon II, and reappointed to the small council. King Aegon II's decision to execute Princess Rhaenyra would only prove to label him as a kinslayer and increase the animonsity against him throughout the realm. With the Stark bannerman finally making their approach towards King's Landing, Lord Corlys would advise King Aegon II to take the black, but the foolish king seemed resolute to exterminate Rhaenyra's line should the northmen capture King's Landing. Soon after, the king would be found dead, from poisoned wine.

Despite Lord Corlys sending ravens declaring surrender and peace, the city would still be taken by the Starks, who were very much disgusted by the poisoning of the king due to the dishonorable nature of it. Lord Stark would then forcibly assume the office of Hand of the King to oversee the arrests and executions. Lord Corlys was one of the many arrested, and despite an attempted intervention by Princess Baela and Rhaena, he was still forced to face trial, and without any real evidence, the murder seemed to be placed on his and House Velaryon's shoulders. Well aware that his health was already failing, he chose death over taking the black. Due to his reputation and fame, the Sea Snake's execution only created further devisiveness throughout the kingdoms. The Velaryon bannermen and navy, who had came back under the crown after Corlys' pardon, once again departed from King's Landing. With Ser Daeron Velaryon at their head, and keeping with Corlys' wishes, Alyn was soon declared the new lord of Driftmark.

Currently, House Velaryon has been left in a precarious state. A large amount of their wealth has been spent or destroyed in the disastrous war, as well as thousands dead, and notable settlements looted and destroyed. Of the princely Velaryons (Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey) none remain. Neither did Vaemond Velaryon who was executed for his attempt to sieze Driftmark for himself. His sons and brothers that tried the same ended with similar fates. This leaves few other than the new Lord Alyn Velaryon, as well as his cousin Ser Daeron Velaryon and his daughter Daenaera.

House Tyrell




Green or Black: Green (Minor Support, officially Neutral)
Recent History:

House Tyrell is a house of upstart stewards, to some of those you might ask in The Reach. This is precisely why uprisings and minor revolts have occurred recently, from both Black and Green sides against the Tyrell lordship. Some say the Gardeners should be brought back, even if they would refuse to bend the knee to the Targaryens. Others would simply disagree- they would argue that this is a Great House founded on chivalry and honor, a House that serves as the breadbasket to the Iron Throne and it's primary military strength in times of war. The Tyrells are the House that have maintained peace and the beautiful landscape of The Reach, from it's rivers and bountiful fields, from being ravaged by the processes of war. Either interpretation leaves the conclusion simple- they are exceptionally lucky, compared to the rest of Westeros.

The Tyrells are the Wardens of the South, defending the southern frontier of the Seven Kingdoms against occasional Dornish squabbles, though their impressive military might is not often used. The sheer size of The Reach, as the second largest kingdom of the Seven, means that whilst it can be difficult to muster troops to rally in any given direction, the possibility of being able to call 80,000 bannermen is not one that is underestimated by any of the family. Garland and Alerie remain both unmarried, the end of the war perhaps marking a perfect opportunity to make new bonds, and with the latter particularly lusted for by many a Reachman of any nobility. Alestair Tyrell serves as a representative of The Reach in King's Landing, and has done so for the last five years, even in the midst of the worst of the civil war, as a port of call for the Tyrells to the Capital.

The lands of The Reach have always remained beautiful, from any observer's eyes. From the coast to the Dornish Marches and the greenery between, it is easy to understand why this region is blessed, both with more than ample food security and a chivalric background. Where the days go by, and the flowered and wheat filled fields, with the gently meandering rivers and white castles that remind the people of The Reach that it is good to have the Tyrells in power, when the rest of the Kingdom is worrying about starving to death and being invaded. No such thing will happen this Autumn, not in The Reach. The men, women and children of The Reach are lucky in that regard, the distant throes of war are gone. However, much is still unstable, and the current line of Tyrell has been shaken up by recent events.

The death of the infant Lord Lyonel Tyrell due to disease left the responsibility of running The Reach to Garland Tyrell, his cousin- and who most would agree was far more capable of rule than a mere child. The lack of siblings that Lyonel had meant that the line passed over to Garland; and meant that Garland was the new Lord Paramount of The Reach, with the chance to bring about a new order of things. Whilst Garland was perhaps not the most experienced or wisest of all rulers now in the Seven Kingdoms, he was able to find legitimacy in his own people at his young age, and able to get to work on making sure his vassals did not get any ideas of their own expansion. Inexperienced, yes, talented, indeed.

Quickly asserting his rule, the unmarried Garland found the Reach in an unstable state- the aftermath of the war left Minor Houses on Black and Green sides, and the end of the war led to uprisings and demands to "Depose the Traitor Lord"- for the Tyrells lack of support for either side throughout the war, and the lack of any allegiance to the newly crowned King. It had been for good reason, however- The Reach has not officially fought in the war, and whilst allegedly providing support in weapons to Houses Dayne and Peake, it has not been exactly affected in the rest of the conflict. While Garland has been swift to pledge his side to Aegon III, it is the hope that The Reach's neutrality will not have had a long-term impact on their influence in the Seven Kingdoms, and that he can earn his favor back, by whichever means he needs to do.

Green or Black: Black

Recent History: House Stark is the North, they were once the Kings of Winter before Aegon the Conqueror took their crown but it has always been the Starks who have ruled the cold wintry land. There has always been a Stark in Winterfell and they are determined to keep it that way. They are a proud house that has braved many winters and many dangers and still stands strong. The Starks command the respect of their bannermen, though not always their loyalty. The North is the largest and most perilous of all the kingdoms, with constant threat of wildling raids and the harsh embrace of winter ever present. Surviving winter requires hardness, and the Starks are a hard family. The lions of the West and the dragons of the South may roar proudly but it is the Wolf that howls when all else is silenced by bitter Winter. And Winter is Coming.

House Stark was one of the principal supporters of Rhanerya's claim to the Iron Throne. In exchange for the marriage of a Targaryen princess into their House, the Starks agreed to lend martial aid to the Blacks. Winter marched south with Lord Cregan Stark in command of a large host of men, many of whom had no wives, homes, or children. Though they marched south with violent intent, the Wolves were denied combat by the death of Aegon the Second. Lord Cregan sought to avenge the king's poisoning and governed in King's Landing for less than a week, executing the Sea Snake and two others, before returning home with nineteen men bound for the wall.

A portion of his host, some two thousand men, remained south of the Neck however. Cregan's younger son, Jorah remains in King's Landing with his men close at hand in order to serve as his father's voice in the capital. Cregan's younger brother, Jon Stark, serves as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and took in the nineteen men from King's Landing into his force. They remain steadfast against the ever-present threat of the Wildlings.

Cregan, in his fifth decade, returned to Winterfell. He petitions for the marriage of a Princess to his eldest son Brandon and seeks marriage pacts for his daughter Alys and son Jorah. Cregan's niece Sansa Stark, known as the She-Wolf, a famed rider and archer is fighting a constant battle against Ironborn Raiders in the north. Cregan's nephew Theon Stark was given command of Moat Cailin and was charged to rebuild the castle and keep the North safe from any southern aggression. A large portion of Cregan's numerous relations reside within and man the castle.

At a young age, Grace showed an aptitude for numbers, a valuable asset when you're known for selling the finest wines in the Seven Kingdoms. She could follow the most difficult calculations and oft times, could out smart merchants. Lord Unwin claims that she interjected in a marketplace and swindled a crooked merchant into giving him a great deal. He always swore "No one could say no to those big blue eyes" when he told her the story.

However, do not let her appearance fool you. Grace, while ever so "Grace"-ful in her appearance and public image, is quite the spitfire.

At the ripe of age of 11, she was picked from House Redwyne to serve as companion and fellow student alongside daughter Syrenna Peake, supposedly for the purpose of tutoring her in mathematics. As a ward to House Peake, she studied alongside the children, their competitive nature infectious. Always working to improve herself and stay ahead of the curve, Grace could oft be found in the nearest library. Her speech, as such, is quite eloquent and her vocabulary extensive. In fact, she can typically insult a person in such a pleasant tone - they'd be none the wiser. Only those of equal intelligence can decipher her words and, even then, they seem to be more amused than offended. After all, growing up with three boys and only one girl to interact with does help you build a tough skin. This has also left her unmarried, as most of her suitors have not found this a valuable trait. She has also convinced her father that whilst she is still a ward of House Peake, a topic she must now address with the late Lord Unwin's oldest son Raynalt, she cannot to be wed.

Nine years she has grown, a ward and loyal member of House Peake, enduring the pleasant and unpleasant as time has passed alongside them. She takes her duty very seriously and considers House Peake an extension of her own family. She has never been proficient in any type of combat training but, swears she will take up the sword if she has to in order to protect those closest to her. Willing to lay down her life, if need be.

Appearence:
Biography: To this day Maheo does not know who his parents are: and he is considered a true Greedblood born orphan. It was a beautiful day on the Greenblood river, not a single cloud in the sky. Ea: an elderly woman of fifty five, was gliding her boat home down the river towards Planky town when she noticed the most wonderful thing she had ever seen. Maheo: one of the ancient Turtles that lived in the Greenblood was swimming up to her boat. There was a bundle of twigs and reeds floating behind him, stuck on his right hind leg. Ea quickly untangled reeds from the old man, and watched for a moment as the turtle disappeared as quickly as he come back into the Greenblood. As she was about to toss the pile of reeds back into the river, she heard something cry out. There in the middle of the bundle was a baby boy. Ea decided to keep him, as she thought it was a sign from the Mother Rhoyne that he would be special. She named him Maheo after the ancient turtle who brought him to Ea.

Ea taught him the ways of the Mother Rhoyne: to pole the boat up and down the river, to fish, to dance, to sing(though he didn't have the best singing voice) and even the art of healing. By the age of ten, he knew every inch of the Greenblood river: from the rivers beginnings in Vaith and Scourge to its end in the Summer Sea: and just like the turtle he was named after, Maheo became wise beyond is years. However after a while, Meheo became restless. He longed to learn how to fight and frequently asked Ea find someone to teach him; she refused every time. However, he would not be deterred: he took one of the old boat poles, shortened it so was his height and practiced with it early in the morning before Ea woke and late at night after she fell asleep.

Three years later at the age of thirteen, he went off on his own for the first time. He traveled all across Dorne: from the Step Stones to the Red Mountains. He eventually found a knight named Torin from house Shell willing to teach him. Torin was not especially gifted in the ways of the sword, so instead taught him how to wield a knife and hand to hand combat skills. Torin soon realized that Maheo had a natural talent for it and soon passed the skills of his mentor in addition to the skills he had taught himself with the shortened pole staff. His whole body became a weapon as he trained from dawn til dusk; and he loved every single minute of it. Every time he would master some new skill, he would think of a way to make it harder and master it again. Torin also instilled in him loyalty and honor to Dorne and to the Martells.

After six years of training with Torin, Maheo felt the pull of the Mother Rhyone urging him to return to the Greenblood. He returned only to find that Ea had died two years prior. Maheo morned the loss of Ea for weeks, the only maternal figure that he knew was gone. With Ea, and the pole boat she had built gone(taken by another Greenblood orphan) he needed to make one for himself. It took him seven months to build: but when it was done, he knew that Ea and even the Mother Rhoyne would have been impressed. He travels up and down the greenblood river, hiring his services to people who need it but regularly does jobs for the Martells for no charge. His singular passion to perfect his combat skills makes him very good a mercenary jobs. He loves the thrill of a new challenge, which makes him very competitive.

Personality: is extremely calm, content and quiet around strangers. Is slow to trust, but once a friend he is very outgoing and always seems to be smiling.

WIP. Input welcomed
