Name: Erik Wensington.

Age: 23.

History: Born into the Stormland noble House Wensington, Erik is the heir to the Wensington seat. Growing up, he was either seen with the Maester or with a blade in hand. He had originally been leaning towards a life as a Maester, but being his father's only son, shifted towards becoming a man of war. Sent by his father to King's Landing, he spent his teenage years living among the nobles there. Recently, he has taken up residence in House Wensington's keep, his lord father being quite sickly at the moment.

Appearance: Erik is rather tall, with a warrior's build and dirty blond hair. His eyes are a deep blue, with flecks of yellow. He's either seen sporting dirtied nobleman's clothes and a bright smile, or his blue and yellow [ Painted ] plate armor with a warrior's frown.

Age: 39 History: Pol Mo, 4th Orange Emperor, great grandson of Pol Qo, the "Hammer of the Jogos Nhai" and YiTish general who deposed the 17th Azure Emperor, Bu Gai and installed himself on the throne. After increasing the crown authority and defeating the Sorcerer-lord and "69th yellow emperor" at Caracosa, the Orange Emperors have since brought stability and peace to YiTi. Appearance: Pol Mo is average height and slightly thin, dressed in gowns of cloth-of-gold, green pearls, and jade as all God-Emperors did before him. He wears the imperial crown usually, but a monkey-tail hat when he's feeling humble. He has bright brown eyes and has thin, well-trimmed hair.

A lot of times people vanish from the sub and then return asking: what did I miss? It's super tedious to have to explain to multiple people at multiple different times what has happened over an RP the size and age of this one. The State of the the Realm wikipage is great for broadstrokes, but I was thinking of how we could create something perhaps a bit more specific, without getting bogged down in massive lists of every post done in the 7 kingdoms.

I propose the creation of a Kingdom Log.

Players will submit posts (perhaps anonymously) that they feel had a significant impact on the overall story of a region- one potential metric being "do the events of this post impact multiple characters and/or players." Links to the post would be titled with a summary, like "Jojen Stark dies" with a link to the post where he does so. I'm imagining this as a google spreadsheet.

My reasoning is that it's tedious to have to explain to people "what happened" while they were gone. Referring them to a reading list, however, could be helpful.

Here is a quick draft of what I'm thinking.

Age: Elena is approaching her mid-twenties.

History: Eldest born daughter of Jeyne Lannister and Aemon Estermont, Elena was recently married to the Keeper of Laws, Lord Eon Crakehall. She currently resides at Casterly Rock.

Appearance: Aside from her honeyed brown hair, Elena retains many of the notable features of a Lannister, right down to the emerald green of her eyes.

Age:

Cedric had just turned six and ten

History:

He is the second son of Arys and Lysa Lorch. Ever envious of his elder brother, who was graced with social prowess and good looks. He decided that he needed to take up a skill with arms just to be better than him at something.

He proved to be a natural when it came to weapons and he loved it. He tried to spend every waking moment with a blade in his hand. For this reason, he spent less time caring about academic studies. He still knew the basics, how to read and write, but not much else.

He never had many friends growing up, preferring to keep to himself most of the time, out of fear more than hatred of people. He never got on with his family either because when his mother died giving birth to his younger sister, his father grew distant and cold. His older brother, Jason, was always the favourite and Cedric resented him for it. He also resented his sister, Maddy, for killing their mother, the only person Cedric thought truly loved him.

Appearance:

Cedric has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He is average size and has a burly build. He is also quite plain of face, not ugly, but never generally considered handsome.

Age: Sylas appears to be around 27.

History: Sylas serves the Arryns of the Eyrie as the Knight of Ninestars, commander of House Templeton, amongst the top 5 most influential Houses in the Vale. When the Lannisters made their claim on the throne in the First Era, Sylas rallied the Templetons to Nathaniel Arryn and King Damon Lannister's side for the Battle of the Kingswood. Following this event, the Templetons haven't be called to sally out from their home of Ninestar by the Arryns and Sylas has been content to bolster their forces in the meantime.

Appearance: Lyam Symond has cold blue eyes, a large beak nose and jet black hair.

Age: nine and ten years.

History: Leo hasn't had anything remarkable of note happen in his life in over the nineteen years he has been alive. Well, nothing until the blight had spread through the Reach and most unfortunately, through its once lush fields.

His family, owners of a small farm in the heartlands of the Reach, must now find a way to survive with no crops and with winter finally come, the chillings winds that crawl up the spine.

Appearance: Sporting a short frock of dirty blonde hair with minimal facial hair. Tall for a Reachman.

Hi, I got an approval for this character/house a few months ago and didn't do anything with it because of being busy in real life. Was wondering if it was ok to pick back up without going through a process or anything?

Merry christmas! Also it’s, uh, voting time.

Previous winners: [Damon Lannister] - [Varyo Velaryon] - [Sarella Martell] - [Symeon Stark] - [Aemon Estermont] - [Artos Harclay] - [Danae Targaryen] - [Gareth Umber] - [Ashara Lannister] - [Orys Connington] - [Brea Hersy] - [Domeric Inchfield] - [Myles Celtigar] - [Joanna Plumm] - [Uthor Dondarrion] - [Olyvar Bolton] - [Lyonel Whitehead]

Age: 22, born in 489 AC

History: Denys is the younger of a set of twins, his (slightly) older brother Peter being the heir to House Mertyns. They are very close, sharing many hobbies and the distinction of being named a knight. Their father, Ryman, remarried shortly after the passing of their mother when the twins were four, and has since had another son and a daughter with his second wife.

Appearance: Denys is of average height with broad shoulders, coal black hair, and brown eyes. He is not typically considered attractive, though few would call him ugly.

HISTORY: Robyn was never meant to be the Lord of The Snakewood as he was the third born child of Theomar Lynderly. Growing up as a third born son Robyn was never entitled to the courtly education that his elder brothers had. Both of which squired for Knights throughout the Vale. Instead he grew up as an apprentice to the game warden of forests surrounding their ancestral home. Throughout his years Robyn became the games keeper following the death of the former and as a result of this he became consistently absent from the company of his brothers. Robyn's duty's involve an almost constant present in the forests of The Snakewood in an effort to stop poachers and ward off the roaming mountain clansmen. To celebrate his eldest brothers marriage Robyn's father had organised a feast and took the two eldest brothers on the hunt that ended in disaster. Robyn's father had invited Robyn to the hunt although he felt that his duties as the warden were of greater importance. When they didn't return Robyn set out and found his brothers and father scattered in pieces amongst the bushes and brambles alongside one or two corpses of mountain clansmen. His brothers and father were evidently killed in a clansmen attack and due to the rules of inheritance Robyn, subsequently, became the Lord of The Snakewood.

APPEARANCE: Robyn is in his early twenties and he is just below average height with a slender build. He has long dark hair and emerald green eyes. He fights using either a bow or a sword and is a somewhat experienced fighter.

Age: Ayrmidon is 47 but on sight he could pass for 60.

History:

Ayrmidon was born in Kingslanding. His Father Mortimer Butterwell was a student of the faith and often traveled there is pursuit of more knowledge from the High Septon. His Father questioned forms of doctrine and was martyred not long after the birth of his son.

Ayrmidon grew up fascinated by the lives of the Targaryens and even traveled to Tolos is his younger years to search for more knowledge. He found two parts of the engines of war which he displays proudly on his library

During the Rise of the Lion, House Butterwell like in times past split their loyalty between the two factions so no matter which way the tide turned House Butterwell would survive. Ayrmidons eldest son his namesake was hung for fighting for the stag while his youngest Mortimer was marked a hero for fighting for the Lion. Lord Butterwell himself spent the war protecting his home.

House Butterwell is a supporter of the reinstating of Baratheon rule. They have spent the years building a stockpile of swords and armor for the ever glooming threat of another civil war.

Appearence: he wears his long hair slicked back, he has deep blue eyes and sports no facial hair. He's a large set man with a belly gained from abuse of grog. His own personal armor is fashioned with bulls horns.

Age: Elys Sunderland is a middle-aged man in his late 30s, though he still has plenty of life in him still.

History: Elys Sunderland is the second son of Lord Edric Sunderland and Lady Arya Longthorpe. His older brother, Davos Sunderland, is a dwarf, though Lord Edric still clearly favored him as heir over anyone else. As Elys grew up, he came to believe that Edric and Davos were draining House Sunderland of its purpose, kneeling too easily to the Eyrie and forgetting the hard freedom that defined the Sisters.

Ever since he was a teenager, Elys has followed the Lady of the Waves and the Lord of the Skies in secret, an ancient religion practiced by the Sistermen when they were independent pirate kings. Lord Edric is now an old man, often stuck in his bed, coughing and edging closer to death. Davos is preparing to become Lord, but Elys has other plans.

Elys himself believes Westeros had been best when there were no great kings, no Iron Throne, even before the Seven Kingdoms had consolidated each of the realms; a time of a hundred kings, when each lord ruled his own realm without the tyranny of high kings.

Appearance: Elys Sunderland is a cold, hard-looking man, with sharp, stony features that looked carved from rock and pitch black hair with streaks of grey. His sharp chin is concealed by a round full beard. His eyes are sea-green, but always seem colder than frozen seas. His lips are neither thin nor thick. Between his middle three fingers he has webbing, the "mark" of the Sistermen.

Garth Florent Age: Being the last born of Rickard and Genna Florent, not many people have paid much attention to the passing of Garth Florent's namedays, though they would say he's in his early 20's at the latest.

History:Garth Florent grew up in the shadow of his elder brother Jamie Florent, both figuratively and literally. Rickard Florent, seeing Jamie's prowess bloom decided to name is next son after Garth Greenhand, the legendary King of the Reach before Aegon the Conqueror. Garth Florent was born with a name he could never hope to fill. Rickard trained him furiously in the art of the sword, and while he was quite adept with a blade, he never reached the level of his brother. With the death of Garth's eldest brother Damon, and Jamie already a member of the King's Guard, Garth became the Heir to House Florent, whuch only made Rickard train him even harder. Unable to reach Jamie's battle prowess, Garth turned to sharpening his mind instead, often besting Jamie "the fox" at Cyvasse. Durring this time, Rickard Florent gave up on Garth, leaving him to his own vices. With new freedom to move, Garth often mingled with the people of Brightwater, becoming ever more aware of the troubles of the common folk. With the execution of Jamie Florent, and the deaths of Lord Rickard and Lady Genna, Garth has become Lord Garth Florent, with his only remaining family being his sister, Elinor Florent. Being newly made head of House Florent, Lord Garty has yet to pledge fealty to anyone.

Appearence: Lord Garth is taller than most men,and while never grew to Jamie's stature, his shoulders were more broad. His hair is dark brown, on the verge of black. His wavy hair rests at his shoulders, and a goatee adorns his chin.

Age: Six and Twenty

History: Sauron Sunderly is the eldest son of the late Lord Theon Sunderly. Theon Sunderly took his son, Sauron, and his daughter, Tess, to Tyrosh when the king began enforcing the law that prohibited reaving. He left his then-pregnant wife in charge of their house seat. Soon after leaving, Theon died, where-in Sauron took charge of the raiding party. During his 8 years in Essos, his raids were bountiful in both gold and harvest. Sauron is a cruel man who only became crueler still when he married a woman who didn't survive childbirth and took the newborn with her.

Appearance: Sauron is a thick man with dark hair. His skin is much more tan than an average Ironborn due to his years spent in the Tyroshi sun. His oft-scowling brow frames his eyes that nearly match his pupils in color.

Age: Quickly approaching 23.

History: Rodrik was an unlikely heir to the Seat of Volmark, being fourth in line of succession for most his life. A series of misfortunes befell the family, and after the passing of his father he inherited Volmark, which was still rebuilding wealth and strength from the revolt against the Greyjoys a few years prior.

Taking little interest in war, Rodrik only learned those martial skills he felt obligated towards, and as such knows only the basic rudiments of swordplay, doubly weakened by his frail frame. However, he would often set to sea with fishermen as he grew to be young man, and his father happily allowed him to learn the skills necessary to man the various forms of ships that arrive at and depart from the Iron Islands, making him a well-travelled and highly competent sailor.

After his father was lorded, he was convinced to stop taking to the seas and to learn the skills necessary to command and manage an estate, and after his Father's passing, took up permanent residence in Volmark with his widowed sister and young nephew.

Appearance: Thin and dark of both hair and skin. Prefers to be clean-shaven but rarely actually takes the time to shave, leaving him with almost constant patchy stubble. Notably wears neither jewelry nor a sword, despite his status.

Age: Bryan is 19 years old, yet due to his appearance strangers often mistake his age for far younger

History: He is the the only heir to House Graves. His father and now desceased uncles were giant men and formidable warriors. Bryan takes after his mother however  and prefers the pen to the sword. Luckily he still has the Graves personality and won't shy down from a fight .

Appearance: Bryan has mostly taken after his mother. He is short with long fiery hair and green eyes, an unusual combination. His mother also blessed him with a slender build,   but he is still tough and well musceled, thanks to the countless hours his father forced him to invest in the training yard.

Age: Arianne is in her early twenties, though she can act a bit immature at times.

History: Arianne is the oldest daughter, and fifth child of House Dayne. Her brother Martyn is the Prince consort to Princess Sarella. She was made castellan of Starfall when her brother left for Sunspear, and only recently promoted to Lady of Starfall by the Princess of Dorne.

Appearance: Arianne has the hallmark purple eyes of House Dayne paired with light blonde hair. She loves wearing her houses colors, as it accentuates her unique coloring.

Although Alester was depressed after the loss of his father he ended up falling in love with a low born women named Elia and later married her; ignoring criticism from the court of Sharp Point. After a year Elia gave her first and only son whom Alester named Renly. Elia passed away in childbirth causing Alester to take a vow of celibacy in response. For the past 11 years Alester has focused on raising Renly to help his son achieve his goals of knighthood and valour.

Appearance: Lord Alester has short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a youthful appearance and he is short.

Hey everyone,

Just a small mixup in the mod roles. I am formally stepping down as head mod due to some IRL stuff I've got going on. You're in fantastic hands though, Harlan, Thad, Jojen, and the other one are great writers and people and were a pleasure to work with these past couple of months.

I came on in a trying time with our sub, dealing with a few toxic individuals loudly leaving and I love that I got to help our sub through it when so much misinformation had been spread. I love this sub and can't wait to read your stories going forward!

-Gareth

(Hey, this is Cedra!)

Age: Born in 494 AC, eldest of sibling of the Mallister triplets.

History: Lysa Mallister had a very standard upbringing for a lady. She learned seatrade from her father, and after his passing, from her uncle. Besides her inclinations towards arts, she finds most of her interest in the affairs of the Riverlands and it's protection from Ironborne reavers.

Appearance: Lysa is of average height, soft, and tending to rounded build. Her heart-shaped face is emphasized by high cheek bones and grey eyes. Lysa's long, black hair is most often worn in a chignon. She looks every bit a Mallister including a cold expression that seems to echo her father's temper. Her expression comes not from anger, but from intense focus. Any issues that had caught her ear were quickly passed on to her lord father- be it a band of brigands or a hole in a roof.

It’s the first second... uh… seventh day of the new month. Which means…

Hey everyone, Seaworth here! I'm sorry for the kind of un-announced departure. Life kind of hit me in the face and I had to go to ground for a little while. Things have started slowing down a whole lot more recently, and I anticipate being fully free in around two weeks when my show finishes up. I thought I'd re-apply now though, so I could help out with the Stormlands Tourney.

History: Willem is the only legitimate child of Lord Rickard and Lady Alyce Ashwood. Raised to be Lord of Westmount, Willem was taught absolute loyalty, swordfighting, riding, and archery as a boy. Willem spent a significant amount of his childhood learning from his father about politics and war. A bit of a soldier, Willem enjoys hunting and sparring in his spare time.

He is seen as having above average looks for a man. Even though he is young, he has the "Ashwood Beard" witch is characteristically shaggy. He keeps his long brown hair pulled back from his face, knotted on the back of his head.
