Background
Being the second son of a minor branch of the Flint family, the Stewards of Blind Lord's Tower, Einar was never really groomed to lead. Thats not to say he didn't get a comprehensive education in weaponry, horse riding, etiquette and all the other related skills needed to set a young nobleman up for his future, just he had a little more freedom in focusing on those parts he enjoyed than he brother or some of his cousins managed.
As it turned out, the main area he enjoyed was his faith. He would do his utmost to be at every service and as a boy had spent a lot what spare time he had following the Septon round, and offering to run his errands or help out. Accordingly, it came as no surpirse to anyone when he expressed an interest in becoming a priest himself. It was a calling he followed devoutly or several years, learning the deeper aspects of the faith of the seven, along with the more practical side of priestly life. He's always had a good ear and gained some instruction in musical composition and arrangement for services, as well as oratory and herbalism.
Then came Robert's Rebellion, and suddenly all though of fighting age were off to answer the Starks call to arms. Being himself, still on the young side, and not having kept up with his martial practice, he himself was left behind to help keep the household until the others returned. The house's loses, while not numerically great, did however include Connell, his older brother, and upon his father's return, it was made very clear to Einar that he could no longer be afforded the luxury of choosing his own path.
His martial training restarted with haste as Tulketh, his father set about seeking a Knight to take him on as a squire. With the chaos immidiately surrounding the end of the rebellion, this proved a tricky task, even with the massed ranks of newly knighted man returning from the Trident. It was something that Tulketh wanted sorted quickly though, as he was starting to get on in years and wanted his succession sorted. In the end though, a knight was found, although it was an unconvential match. Einar was not sent to another noble house to learn the knightly ways, but to the leading branch of his own, under the stewardship of his cousin, the newly knighted Ser Anders Flint. Freshly returned from the war.
That was six years ago, and now he's nearly done. He's blade work will probably never recover from the years of neglect in his early teens, but he's shown to be a dab hand with the crossbow particularly.
Physical Features
A young lad who appears to be in his late teens or early twenties, its hard to judge. He stands around an inch shy of six foot tall but only of moderate build and as such his presence is noticeable, but not overly imposing. His face betrays his youth, even if his figure does not and it's readily apparent that he has more growing yet to do. Possibly the most noticable of his features are his ears, which protude from beneath short, brown hair. It's not that they're huge, they just stick out that little bit more than the norm. His eyes are green and alert, but his expression is geneally cheery enough.
He wears sturdy black boots and unadorned black trousers which contrast with the white shirt tha covers his upper torso. Its not a flouncy shirt, but it's definatly a decent cut and made from decent material, in keeping with the dark grey suede tunic that sits above it. At his waste is a re-enforced leather belt, from which hangs both his sword on his left hip and a small dagger on his right.

House Flint
My House
 |
Ser Anders: My cousin and Young Lord to the house. He has taught me a lot over the past 5 years and I owe him much. We may not always agree on subjects, but we generally find our way through and I enjoy his company. There are things I should probably talk to him about, but for now I find myself more satisfied with the status-quo than any of the realistic options I can see for change. |
 |
Lady Cordelya: I am glad that my Cousin got to marry the woman he loves and there can be no doubt that the pair of them are deeply in love. Given time to grow into the role I think she will make a fine Lady of Flint's Finger, assuming the Old Gods don't extract too heavy a toll. I look forward to the day when she can show me my latest cousin. |
 |
Lady Tia: My goodsister. We both had our world's turned upside-down when my brother died, although despite that, we were never really close until now. I thnk perhaps that she is adapting far quicker than I but she is once again happy, and that is all I can ask of the world. |
 |
Lady Nerys: Lord Anders' second sister. It has been a good long while since I last saw my cousin and we have both changed since. I swear though, she never had the ability read my mind so before. I enjoy her company though, and it is good to have someone new to practice against with my blade. |
 |
Lady Anathema: My first cousin once removed. She, like Corrie, is blessed by the Old Gods. It has been a long time since I have seen her, but I seem to recall that manifesting somewhat differently. |
 |
Lord Emrys: My first cousin once removed. One of those who brought back the news of my brother's death. I had not seen him since but he is lately returned from keeping King Robert's peace on Pyke. It is good to see him alive and well after all these years although I think perhaps he takes after his more northern cousins than the Finger. |
 |
Master Vis: A capable and dependable man. I'm glad to have him in the lines when we fight, or just behind them picking off the enemy's archers before they can cause us harm. He has shown time and again his remarkable tracking skills and I hope now that some of the other Houses may start to take us seriously when we offer our assistance. |
Background NPC Flints
| Lord Tulketh: NPC |
My Lord Father and the Steward of the Blind Lord's Tower. While I do not doubt that he loves me, and only wants the best for our House, I do not think he can ever forgive me for not being my brother. I am certain that he if had had a choice as to which of his sons would not return from war then Tia would be happily bouncing a whole brood of little Flints on her knee. |
| Lady Aliana: NPC |
My Lady Mother. She helped me find comfort in the Seven which I could not with the Old Gods. There are some that say my Lord Father should have married a northern Lady, rather than this southern flower from House Haigh, but I think she tempers him well. |
| Lord Connell: DECEASED |
I do not lament you, although I will miss you. You died as you lived, with your sword firm in your hands. Your words still inspire me, and your spirit moves onwards. Though your bones lie lost and alone in some far distant land. |
| Lady Elissa: NPC |
My sister. We kept each other going when word came of my brother's fate. I doubt I could have done it without her and possible she without me, you'd have to ask her. I still think of her as my little sister, yet last I was back home she had grown so much. It will not be long now before she is a Lady and marrying a Lord of her own. Where did all our time go? |
House Terrick
The devistation to their home was appauling to see and I hope they can recover from this invasion. It will be interesting to see how this internal reshuffle pans out, I can not help but think there will be trouble to one degree or another though.
 |
Ser Justin: Not perhaps, the finest of first meetings but I think that we have got on better since. He seems to carry the weight of Westeros on his shoulders at the moment, but hopefully that will ease given time. He has now at least achieved one ambition and is able to call himself Ser. I do wonder just how he is taking recent developments within his house though, I shall have to try and make time to talk with him properly. |
 |
Lady Anais: The way she talks reminds me of the north and the women we have there, not these odd Riverlands ladies. Strong both in spirit and with the bow I hope she is not left behind or cast aside with the recent changes. She deserves better, although this is hardly a world where people get what they deserve. |
 |
Huntmaster Kain: He seems to be a capable man with a sensible head on his shoulders. Second best tracker I've ever met I say, after Master Vis. He seems to have an interesting past as well, I wish him luck in sorting that. |
House Mallister
With my cousin betrothed to one of their's, I trust that I shall get a chance some day to see Seagard as it should be. I wish their new Lord well, but I do not envy the task in front of him.
 |
Ser Martyn: A capable knight and in my impression at least a decent man. I hope it goes well between him and my cousin, there are worse matches she could make. |
 |
Ser Kamron: A hero or an honourless fool, depending who you ask. Still, what happened in that duel is past now and he seems to be striving to aid the Terrick's in their recovery. A noble endeavour. |
 |
Ser Keelin: I recall him from Harlaw, but can't claim to have got to know him there. In recent events on Terrick land though he showed a level head and a knack for thinking on his feet. A solid man I think. |
House Camden
My good-sister's maiden house. With their she lost everything she had remaining after the death of my brother. I mourn their loss for her, although I can not claim to have known them well.
 |
Lady Liliana: My good-sister's niece and now the Lady Camden. I hope she can find herself a suitable man to take her name. It would be a great shame were the House to die with her, even if they may never again be what they once were. |
House Vance
A Terrick vassel I believe, other than that I know them not.
 |
MIstress Sofya: It was her horse. I am glad. I hear that she and the knight she serves have returned to their seat. I am sure Master Vis will be heartbroken, for five minutes. |
House Nayland
While I do not know the individuals of this house, they have done us a great service in looking after Lady Cordelya and my good-sister while we were away on Harlaw Isle. The current Steward of Stonebridge is married to a Flint, so I suspect that ties will become stronger as time progresses.
 |
Ser Bruce: While I think we might, if given time, find many things we would disagree upon, his experience and his willingness to share thoughts and ideas have been both useful and thought provoking. A good man to have around. |
|
Lady Anathema (Flint): My Lord Father's couisn. I can not claim to know her well, but what conversations I have had with her have lead me to want more. Maybe it is simply due to finding another in the Riverlands who understands our Northern ways, but I think there is more to it than that. |
House Ashwood
In truth I must admit to not knowing what to make of this house. Ambicious certainly. There recent split with House Charlton could yet return to bite them, although I can understand the reasoning behind it.
 |
Ser Alesiter: I met him first when he was feverish but then more properly once we reached the Iron Isles. A quick mind and a firm friend of Anders by all accounts. He has been kind enough to allow us guest rights while Corrie is unable to travel, part of me does wonder just what he will ask in return though. |
 |
Ser Saethwyr: My good-brother, of a sort at least in that he has married my good-sister. I still do not know him overly well, but he seems to have handled himself well enough of late. I hope he continues ot make her happy. |
 |
Lord Daryl: I didn't get to know him before he broke quarenteen. If he takes the disease back to Highfield I will never forgive him. |
House Tordane
=With the death of Lady Danae, I must admit that I am not sure where this house stands now.
 |
Septon Marsden: Both Septon and soldier. Not an easy task at times I would imagine, but he seems to manage it well enough from what I have seen. Father and Warrior he claims are the two he follows most, and I can see that in him. Still, I can't help but wonder if there is more to him than I know. |
House Haigh
My Lady Mother's maiden house, although I can not claim to be close to them. Maybe this venture south will be a chance to correct that. So, many, cousins.
 |
Lady Katrin: She has grown much over the past years, my little cousin is not so little any more. Well, one of my little cousins, although I suspect I will find them all as much grown as she. Still, it is wierd to hear her talk of weddings and betrothals when in my head she is stil the same little girl I used to know. We all grow up so fast I suppose. |
 |
Lady Ilaria: Like her sister, she has grown much since we last met but I think that in other areas they are less alike. I find her the more quiet and thoughtful of the pair, possibly as a result of being the younger? I am still much amused by my good-sister's seeming assumption though. I am less happy though with the news of her betrothal to the Young Lord Fenister. It is a fine match for both their houses and he should reckon himself well pleased with it. I can not help but think that she deserves better though. |
 |
Lady Arabella Fenster: Sister of the Young Lord of a Haigh banner, she came to help with the disease at camp. SHe means well, and is undoubtedly bright, but she is still very young, too young to be out in these circumstances. I can only pray that she does not compromise herself in some way. |
House Charlton
Their decision to go stright to Lord Tully and bypass the Freys is an interesting one. I can understand the desire to not be bossed around by the Twins, but I'm not sure how it will pan out for them in the long term.
 |
Ser Quellyan: I will admit to not being entirely sure what to make of this man. He has a reputation, that much is certain, but I wonder how much of it is bluff and cover? I think perhaps, I would be more certain on how I feel about him, if I knew his intentions had been towards my Goodsister. |
House Westerling
Not a House I really know much about but with the developments in Stonebridge I get the feeling that will change soon enough.
 |
Lord Hat: Or Ser Hat as I suppose it is now. Yes, there are stories of drunken foolery at the Nayland's banquet and he noted himself that he has a habit of 'smiling' at my female relatives, but I like the man. We are both set upon the same path and he is much my own age with a similar sense of humour. |
 |
Septon Ulf the Dry: A truly fascinating man. We first met across a battle-line but once the fighting was done we shared several conversations. I have pondered keeping up a correspondence but I am not sure if Anders would forgive me. |
 |
Dania Dorsey: Another healer who came to help with the Bloody Flux. She seems knowledgeable enough, I just hope the cost to her is not too dear. |
| Faith and Spirituality |
Unlike most of my family, I follow the Seven rather than the Old Gods. One thing this time in the south, and even the Isles has done is given me a chance to talk to others with regards to this. It has been most enlightening at times. I have been known, on occasion, to pray to the Warrior but I freely admit that I speak most to the Crone in hope of receiving some part of her wisdom. |
| The fate of Stonebridge |
Did we really march side by side to war on the Iron Isles only to return, pat ourselves on the back and immediately start killing each other instead? If but the duel had been the end of it. Harsh as it may seem, I find myself hoping that Lady Danae is found not to be with child, as this is likely to be the only way this wil be put to rest. I do not begrude her the name Tordane, for that was grated to her husband by the King, but control of the house? I feel that more rightly lies with the current inhabitants of Tordane Tower. |
| A follower of the Seven? |
I thought the Northerners kept the Old Gods but he seems to kneel in a sept, not infront of trees. |
| Still a squire? |
A bit old for that now isn't he? What with the war against the Ironmen under his belt along with everything since then. I wonder why he hasn't been knighted yet. |
| Married yet? |
Nope, not even betrothed either, or at least not that I've heard. Well, someone once suggested he should have married his brother's widow, but I hear that suggestion was not well received. |
| War Stories |
He was on Harlaw they say, but not Pyke after. Spent most of his time out with the pickets and scouts I hear. Is that really a proper place for a knight-to-be? |
