House Nayland - Stonebridge

Stonebridge, a market town on the river between Seagard and The Twins, was once ruled by the now-extinct House Tordane. Its lord and heir were both killed at the battle of The Trident, leaving only a daughter. It has since been absorbed into House Nayland through the marriage of that daughter, Lady Isolde Tordane, to Lord Ryker Nayland. Following the death of Lord Ryker and a pursuant claim by Lady Danae Tordane, widow to Isolde's bastard brother, Stonebridge currently rests under the Stewardship of House Nayland via Ser Tyroan Nayland under the appointment of Lord Walder Frey.

House Frey

The Freys are known as Lords of the Crossing for their seat, which from its location at the base of the narrow swamplands known as The Neck gives them control not only of river trade, but of the only passage between The North and the rest of the kingdom. They are the richest house in the Riverlands, but Lord Walder Frey is not held in very high regard by their liege, House Tully.

Charlton Characters

House Fenster

Former loyal vassals of house Charlton.

House Banefort

The Banefort sits on the coat just southwest of the Riverlands, and the family that rule it are staunch opponents of the Iron Islands whose raiders frequently trouble their ships and shores. They have recently begun looking for connections in the Riverlands. Their current lord is Erik Banefort. Their liege is House Lannister.
Not open for application.

Banefort Characters

House Wyncliff

Located south and just a touch west of Seagard, House Wyncliff finds it's home amongst the cliffs of Ironman's Bay. This has served to both hinder and help their township, Wyncliff Port, for the cliff's that surround them protect them from invasion or attack by land, but by the same token, it prevents travellers and traders from coming in along the same path. As such, the only viable route to reach Wyncliff Port is by sea. Their vassals are the de Mabreys of Seagard.

Wyncliff Characters

House de Mabrey

House de Mabrey has a long standing history with the Mallisters and Wyncliff; unfortunately, that history has been in a rapid decline for the past decade or so. Much like the Wyncliff's, the de Mabrey's are a seafaring bunch and are the primary couriers of the Wyncliff's Ore and supplies to the mainland, as well as to outlying cities such as the Banefort or The Crag. Unfortunately, they have seemingly fallen from favor during the past several years. Many of their ships have seen their banners switched from the de Mabrey colors to that of House Wyncliff or even House Mallister.

de Mabrey Characters

House Westerling

House Westerling of The Crag is located further down the coast, but is equally troubled by raiders. They also face declining fortunes, which are causing them too to seek new friends in the Riverlands. Their current lord is Gawen Westerling. Their liege is House Lannister.
