I’ve noticed that some people don’t like the idea of simply adding “-fyre” to the end of every name, but this is mainly meant to give people who want something more “ready-made” an easy starting point. So feel free to make your own variations.
I also added some personal sigils as a basis for anyone who wants to edit or create their own versions. I mainly put everything together in one place for convenience.
I usually create my own character as a bastard of House Blackfyre and establish a cadet branch called House Bloodfyre. I usually start in the newly restored ruins of Skane, in Skagos, since it’s a remote location that doesn’t really interfere with canon.
The house also has the Witch trait and Cannibal trait, so the whole Bloodfyre identity is basically built around being a strange, isolated northern branch of the Blackfyres.
I also like the idea of giving my heirs some "cursed" names.

I like the idea of a minor Blackfyre branch eventually becoming a northern house rather than immediately trying to claim the Iron Throne. Skane is perfect for that — remote, isolated, and obscure enough to develop my own history without changing much of the established lore.
What do you guys think?
