<Snipped quote by MenageAUne>
Born in 109 AC? I think that’d put her as Yoren’s eldest aunt, probably. Norra (109-154), Vorian (114-151), Mykal (117-). Elayne Qorgyle, their mother, would’ve been 17, 22, and 25 for their respective births. What sort of relations does this place Wyl and Yronwood I wonder!?

@Gowi

Hopefully they're good relations!

@MenageAUne

So I got talked into being your northern neighbor, House Wyl. 'sup. WIP is with my other ones on the first page.

@Gowi

Sup, my current Lady Yronwood's grandmother was a Wyl so that you're aware of that.

"I wouldn't change a drain or ditch."

I think it's: "I would change her, trade or a-ditch."

It took me a few listens though :V

House Yronwood

Hider

⎈ "We Guard the Way" ⎈

Lady Irene Yronwood, The Bloodroyal, Warden of the Stone Way

Born 125 AC, (32 y/o) Lady Irene Yronwood is the second-born of Lord Corrin Yronwood by Lady Norra Wyl. Like most Yronwoods, Lady Irene's appearance favors her Andal hertiage over the Rhoynish influence in most of Dorne. Her skin freckles and burns under the Dornish sun, her hair is a pale yellow color and her eyes are like bright blue stones. She wears her hair long, braided in cords to hold it out of her eyes. Typically, she wears long, breathable drapes to keep cool in the Far South.

Backstory

Lady Irene was the second-born of the Yronwood line. Like all noble children, Lady Irene learnt the skills needed to be a lord- reading and writing, geography, the banners of the houses of Dorne and those of the Seven Kingdoms. To a much lesser degree than her brothers, she received martial training - in which she favored archery.

Her elder brother assumed the seat of House Yronwood but failed to produce an heir before his untimely death, where in a drunken stupor he plummeted from the ramparts of Castle Yronwood.

Lady Yronwood has ruled the lands since for a year now and has recently produced an heir to the ancestral seat. Though she is relatively new to ruling, she has grand visions for the future of her house.

Prince Osvald Nymeros Martell

Born 139 AC, (18y/o) Prince Osvald bears considerable Rhoynish influence. He has black hair and brown eyes and olive skin. Though not considerably well-built he manages to give off a lordly vibe. He wears light robes in Dornish fashion.

Backstory

Prince Osvald is a first-cousin of the ruling line of House Martell. He and Lady Irene conceived an heir on the night of their wedding and have not shared a bed since. Which, for them, is fine as they view their marriage as little more than political -both nobles favoring the company of their own paramours.

Prince Osvald typically represents House Yronwood in diplomatic matters and spends a considerable amount of time in Sunspear. Lady Yronwood and he keep up regular correspondence via raven.

Paramour Mariela Sand

Born 132 AC (25y/o). Lady Irene's paramour is also from the coast, boasting similar Rhoynish features to her husband.

Lord-Commander Martin Yronwood

Born 128 AC (29y/o), third-born of Lord Corrin Yronwood by Lady Norra Wyl. Like most Yronwoods, Lord Martin is a blonde haired, blue eyed stony Dornishman. He has a warrior's body, boasting large muscles and a strong frame.

Lord Benedict Yronwood

Born 157 AC (0y/o), first-born of Lady Irene Yronwood by Lord Osvald Yronwood of Sunspear. Blonde of hair, blue of eye. He is a tiny baby.

O V E R V I E W
The Yronwoods are a proud house with a storied history. Before the arrival of the Rhoynar, the Yronwoods ruled over a large and powerful Dornish kingdom that rivaled that of the Martells. Yronwood claims were fertile farmlands, well-wooded and rich in deposits of iron, tin, and silver. At their height, they were the richest of the Dornish kingdoms.

Now, they hesitantly bend the knee to the Rhoynar-backed house from Sunspear. When Nymeria landed along with the ten thousand ships, her Rhoynar bolstered the armies of House Martell. With her might, Nymeria launched a campaign to unite all of Dorne under the red sun banner. One of Yronwood's longest-standing rivalries is with House Fowler of Skyreach due to their role in Nymeria's War.

M I L I T A R Y
The Yronwoods are the second most powerful of the Dornish houses. They are capable of fielding between 9,000 and 10,000 soldiers at full-strength. In addition, the Yronwoods have a strong chivalric tradition especially among the Dornishmen. Landed knights under the Yronwood banner number close to 100. An elite group of ten knights make up Yronwood's elite guard, all knights in emply of House Yronwood report to Lord-Commander Martin Yronwood - Lady Yronwood's younger brother.

R E L A T I O N S

R E C E N T H I S T O R Y
Lady Yronwood birthed an heir the same year as King Daeron's coronation; the babe cements the union between the Martells and their Yronwood bannermen. Just a year before, however, her elder brother died a freak accident;with no heirs of his own, House Yronwood passed to Lady Irene. Prince Osvald Martell has journeyed to Kings Landing to congratulate the new King on his coronation. Lord Martin Yronwood is thus far unmarried, though he is nearly thirty.

B A S I C
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Occupation/Titles: Knight of the Kingsguard
Birthplace: Driftmark, Crownlands, Westeros
Faith: The Seven

A P P E A R A N C E
A bastard of House Velaryon, Corlys has the silver hair of Old Valyria but the muddy brown eyes of Westerosi stock. Corly's stands six-foot-three, his height diminished somewhat by his stocky stature. He has, by all accounts, a body fit for a knight of his standing. He carries a well-crafted steel longsword along with his kingsguard attire, on the hilt is the seahorse of House Velaryon.

Though he is a knight, the only fighting he has taken part in has been in knightly tourneys and during training fights. As a result, his face is relatively unmarred save for a sizeable, round scar on the upper-right hand side of his face. The result of an encounter with an over-zealous steed during a jousting bout.

B A C K S T O R Y
Corlys is the product of a tryst between a handmaiden and a minor lord of House Velaryon. For most of his life, he served under a single master - an old knight, a veteran of the Dance only a few years prior. Though not the most able-bodied master, the old knight was more-than-competent in molding the young Corlys into the knight he is today. Corlys finished his vigil and was knighted for his loyalty to tending for his infirm master.

After his knighting, his noble father discreetly sent him a gift , a long-sword, to congratulate him which he has carried to this day. In addition, Corlys was employed as a sworn sword under Lord Velaryon and spent his time keeping the king's peace in Driftmark.

Corlys has also participated in several tourneys across the south, growing his prestige with each bout. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of King Aemon III Targaryen's reign, Corlys earned his spot on the Kingsguard's radar by winning a tourney dedicated to the Broken King.

Lord Velaryon, who at the time was looking to fill a vacancy on the Queen Consort's personal guard, took notice of Waters' skill and after the tourney was over he appointed the young knight to the guard.

It was within a year that the intirgues of Kings Landing wrapped themselves around Corlys. An agent working for a rival house had been spying on the Queen's private doings for several months, tracking her movements and when and where she was with her guardsmen. One night, while patrolling, Corlys had a strong intuitive feeling that something was amiss and began to search for the sourve of the feeling. The spy awaited with hushed breath and just on the verge of being discovered, he tried to make a break for it.

However, Corlys managed to snag the rogue by his shirt and subdued him before he could escape. Within the day he was before the king's courts and sentenced.

Now on the radar of the Red Keep for potentially saving the Queen's life - and certainly saving her further shame - Corlys was one of the first picks for the Kingsguard once a spot had opened up.

Approved. Two notes, though:

Lord Osvald Martell would be Prince Osvald Nymeros Martell.

What's Mariela's story? (I might look to make her an acquaintance of Aly's.)

@Ruby

Oh, thanks I wasn't sure if a cousin would be called Prince as well ill fix that.

Also I'll message you and I could work out something with Mariel's and maybe make her more of a PoV.

In-Depth Appearance:

Though Sara’s family is largely Persian, she is able trace her mother’s lineage a few generations back to Armenia. Her heritage shows most in her nose- relatively narrow, but long - and her eyes - wide-set but wide-opened. She has a light olive complexion and wavy, brown hair that reaches her breast. Paired with naturally medium-thick eyebrows and plump lips, she’s a super cutie, head-to-toe.

Personality:

☆ Generous ☆ Stubborn ☆ Intuitive ☆ Spacey ☆

Sara is an idealist, she’s always looking for ways to make things the best that they can be. She spends a lot of time fleshing out her ideals in order to cover every possible facet of her life. She’s slow to trust and is highly intuitive; first impressions with her are key because she is hesitant to change her initial feelings about people. That being said, rarely are her intuitions about people wrong, she prides herself on being able to sniff out the bad apples in a bunch and avoid those people as much as possible.

Sara is always open to lend an ear to a friend in need. She tries to avoid conflict with other people, but at the same time is surprisingly good at resolving conflicts between others. Sara is very flexible, she rarely makes plans in advance and tends to live in the here-and-now as opposed to adhering to a strict schedule. As a result, she is often late to class or to outings with friends.

D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T

History:

Like a significant portion of the Hills’ population, Sara comes from a Jewish, Iranian family. Her mother’s family, a few generations ago fled from the genocide in Western Armenia and settled in Tehran - the capital of Iran - where they lived for two generations. Later, when the Iranian revolution came, Sara’s grandparents immigrated to the Hills before the fighting had a chance to begin. There, her mother married another Jewish Iranian immigrant and gave birth to Sara.

While a large number of the Jewish-Iranian immigrants came from wealthy homes, Sara’s family did not. Sara grew up dangerously close to the poverty line. Like something out of “Slums of Beverley Hills,” the family makes a living in one of the poorest areas of California, but have managed to send their daughter to one of the ‘good schools.

Sara attended one of the rougher middle schools that feed into Beverly Hills High. Though she never got any marks on her official discipline record, she had a notorious reputation as a ne'er-do-well, lazy, good-for-nothing. But now that she's moving up into high school, she's hoping to put that reputation aside to look good for prospective colleges. As a result, she's cut off ties with her old circle of friends, though what the future has in store for her, nobody can tell.

Alright, so I added another paragraph to the history, to sort-of flesh out her middle-school years but I'm not sure if there's much else really to say. Also bumped her age down.
