Riverlands

terrick.jpg

House Terrick

terrick.jpg

The Terricks, loyal vassals of House Mallister, rule the lands from near Stonebridge to the Cape of Eagles. They have a long-running feud with House Nayland, most recently over control of Stonebridge, long a Terrick vassal but now in Nayland hands. The current lord is Bolland Terrick, Lord Terrick Roost.

tordane.jpg

House Nayland - Stonebridge

tordane.jpg

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 Nayland - Hag's Mire

mallister.jpg

House Mallister

mallister.jpg

The Lords Protector of the Riverlands, House Mallister commands the fortress at Seagard, first line of defense against raids from the Iron Isles. Though not as rich as House Frey, they are generally better respected. The Lord of Seagard is Patrek Mallister after his father, Lord Jason Mallister, hero of the Trident, was slain in single combat by Prince Rodrik Greyjoy before the walls of Seagard during the Ironborn Invasion on January 28, 289.

frey.jpg

House Frey

frey.jpg

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.
Not open for application.

ashwood.jpg

House Ashwood

ashwood.jpg

In October of 289 AL, following the severing of the vassalage of House Charlton of Hollyholt to House Frey, House Charlton of Highfield severed its ties with its former liege, taking the name Ashwood. They are sworn in fealty and service to House Frey. The lands of the newly established House are located upon the vast fields and hills that can be found directly to the east of the forest where Tall Oaks once resided. Following the recent demise of Ser Aleister Ashwood, Highfield is currently ruled by his surviving father, Jon Ashwood, with the second brother Lord Ser Bastien named as Young Lord and heir.

House Charlton - Hollyholt

charlton.jpg

House Charlton is the richest and most powerful vassal of House Frey, and the most loyal to their lieges. The heir, Ser Andrey Charlton, is well-known as a frequent, and skilled entrant in local tourneys. Their seat is at Hollyholt, a well-maintained keep surrounded by one of the largest towns in the area. In October of 289, Ser Keegan Charlton, Lord Hollyholt, took the entire Riverlands by surprise when he seceded from the vassalage of Lord Frey to swear his fealty directly to House Tully.

fenster.jpg

House Fenster

fenster.jpg

Former loyal vassals of house Charlton. In October of 289 AL, following the severing of the vassalage of House Charlton of Hollyholt to House Frey, House Fenster renounced its former liege, to instead swear loyalty to House Haigh, as Fenster lands adjoin the border between Charlton and Haigh. They are a house that wishes to grow and be of help. Known for putting knowledge first, as well as keeping their loyalty, they are still trying to find a resource or some other way to be able to open up more doors. The current lord is Jek Fenster, knight of Tavin's Rest.
Not open for application

haigh.jpg

House Haigh

haigh.jpg

From their seat at Broadmoor Keep, House Haigh looks also to House Frey for leadership. They are somewhat in competition with Houses Erenford and Nayland for Lord Walder's favor, jockeying for second position behind House Charlton, and always looking for a chance to gain in fortune and standing. House Haigh is currently ruled by Ser Leslyn Haigh, Lord Broadmoor.

erenford.jpg

House Erenford

erenford.jpg

Another vassal of House Frey, the Erenfords' seat at Heronhurst is immediately southwest of The Twins.

House Erenford is currently ruled by Ser Miraz Erenford, Lord Heronhurst.

groves.jpg

House Groves

groves.jpg

House Groves is vassal to House Mallister, and though poorer than the Terricks, they are rich in history, boasting a long and storied past stretching back into the Age of Heroes. Their lands are also along the Cape of Eagles, south and west of the Roost. House Groves is currently ruled by Ser Campbell Groves, Lord Kingsgrove.

The North

flint.jpg

House Flint of Flint's Finger

flint.jpg


One of several houses Flint, this one sits on the peninsula north of the Cape of Eagles. Somewhat isolated between the swamps of the neck and the Flint Cliffs, they are forced to do more traveling and trading by sea than land.
This House is now closed.


Westerlands

banefort.jpg

House Banefort

banefort.jpg


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.

wyncliff.jpg

House Wyncliff

wyncliff.jpg


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.

demabrey.jpg

House de Mabrey

demabrey.jpg


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.

westerling.jpg

House Westerling

westerling.jpg


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.
