First up is the starting Realm.

We can either roll for it, or if there is collective interest in a particular Realm we can just go with that.

>>1705413
Oh and the roll for Realm is a 3d6.

Rolled 5, 4, 1 = 10 (3d6)

>>1705413
This is always fun.

Rolled 5, 1, 1 = 7 (3d6)

>>1705415
Are you going to make a quest with the new house?

I vote Reach, get that fertile ground

>>1705447
>Wants the reach
>Rolls
>Gets the Iron Islands.

Truly Fate is whimsical today.

>>1705454
Well Iron Islands we get them boats. Just take over a islands and with a mighty fleet we can stop anyone that dare to take us over.

>>1705447
I'm hoping to. Been too long since we've had a GoT quest.

Anyway going to nix the roll for the Iron Islands, since that doesn't really work for a Knightly House.

Otherwise, we have a Vale roll, >>1705445. And a Reach vote. Any other opinions or we want to go with one of those?

>>1705463
All the islands there are shit tier, I'm surprised they haven't stripped the place bear of all resources in the thousands of years they have lived there.

>>1705468
That's why they always build ships to go raiding.

>>1705464
Both have good Knight culture. My vote is for the Vale.

Rolled 4, 4, 4 = 12 (3d6)

>>1705413
My vote goes for whatever I roll

>>1705483
>>1705494

So two for the Vale.
And one a piece for Westerlands and Reach. All good places for a Knightly House.

Should we just go with the Vale and get this going?

>>1705508

Yes!

>>1705508
>Vale
The people of the Vale, popularly called "valemen", are known as honorable, reliable warriors steeped in honor and the worship of the Faith of the Seven.

noble families from the Vale are said to have among the purest Andal bloodlines within Westeros

>>1705508
I'll go with Vale, got to have that pure blood

>>1705476
Except unless you do very strict management of lumber you'll run out of trees to make your boats, not to mention the many ships lost at sea or in war.

>>1705524
Yup, that why I'm going with Vale. It seems like a hassle to use that lumber for boats that will just be destroy. Lumber is better use for bows, arrows, and houses.

Alright then, the Vale it is.

Your starting resources are in pic related.

So here's the first of the differences between Lord and Knight Houses. When rolling for starting House resources we'll be using 5d6 rather than 7d6. Basically, we're going to be starting at a bit of a disadvantage and it is going to be a harder House to run. So sounds like fun right?

Anyway, I will need 7 rolls of 5d6 to get our base resources.

Rolled 3, 6, 1, 5, 3 = 18 (5d6)

>>1705529

Rolled 4, 4, 4, 6, 4 = 22 (5d6)

>>1705529
Rolling
I always like a challenge

Rolled 4, 2, 6, 3, 3 = 18 (5d6)

>>1705529

Rolled 4, 6, 2, 4, 4 = 20 (5d6)

>>1705529

Rolled 2, 4, 5, 2, 5 = 18 (5d6)

>>1705529

Rolled 3, 5, 1, 1, 3 = 13 (5d6)

>>1705529

Rolled 5, 4, 4, 6, 2 = 21 (5d6)

Defense - 38
Influence - 32
Lands - 13
Law - 10
Population - 13
Power - 13
Wealth - 21

So that's our starting lot. That Defense is a real winner, as is Influence. Power, Population, and Law are going to hurt. Wealth is pretty decent for a Knightly House. Not the worst start.

Next up is House Founding, pic related.

We'll need a 1d6 for this. And we'll discuss based upon the rolls.

>>1705529

If I am not mistaken this is what we get.

Defense 38
Influence 32
Lands 13
Laws 10
Population 13
Power 13
Wealth 21

Three 6s and a 5.
Well that looks like a Newly founded to me. So sayeth the dice gods.

So our House is new, incredibly so. Founded after the War of the Ursurper/Robert's Rebellion/Booby B's Wild Westerosi Ride. That means the founder is likely the first of the House.

So a couple thoughts right now. As a Knightly House the House is unlikely to be sworn directly to the Arryns. So look about the Houses of the Vale and see if any strike you guys and we'll work out a rough history after the next couple of bits.

Anyway, with a newly founded House we will need a roll of 1d6-2 for Events.

Rolled 5 - 2 (1d6 - 2)

>>1705577

Rolled 4 + 2 (1d6 + 2)

>>1705577

Rolled 5 + 2 (1d6 + 2)

>>1705577
>So our House is new, incredibly so. Founded after the War of the Ursurper/Robert's Rebellion/Booby B's Wild Westerosi Ride. That means the founder is likely the first of the House.

Two 3s and a 2.
We'll go with the 3 Events, give us more to work with. Dice gods are making this far easier than it usually is.

So, next step is House Events. We will need 3 rolls of 3d6 for these. First event will be out founding event.

Rolled 3 + 2 (1d6 + 2)

I vote for the house of Grafton.

Rolled 6, 1, 6 = 13 (3d6)

>>1705595

Rolled 5, 6, 5 = 16 (3d6)

>>1705595

Rolled 2, 6, 2 = 10 (3d6)

>>1705595

>>1705598
If we take this as our banner, we probably burned down our former liege lords tower which proved our loyalty to the rebellion and got us landed

>>1705614
We're not taking this banner. We have to be under the house, since we're a knightly house. In time we'll have our own banner

>>1705598
>>1705604
>>1705608

Treachery, Favor, and Glory.

Those are actually some really interesting and good rolls for a new House. The Knight is going to have a really interesting reputation.

So what we're going to do is roll for the three events. I'll ask for an amount of dice that will fill the respective bonuses for each. I will take the first roll each time.

So first off I need a 3d6 for Treachery.

Rolled 5, 1, 2 = 8 (3d6)

>>1705622

Rolled 3, 5, 3 = 11 (3d6)

>>1705622
>>1705619
Didn't realize grafters were an actual house

>>1705623
-5 Influence
-1 Law
+2 Power

So now that the painful one is done here we go with the good ones.

I will need 4d6 for Favor.

Rolled 3, 2, 6, 3 = 14 (4d6)

>>1705630

Rolled 6, 3, 5, 5 = 19 (4d6)

>>1705630

>>1705633
+3 Influence
+2 Lands
+6 Law
+3 Power

Oh man we're shaping up to be a lot better off than I thought we would at first.

Now the last of it, 4d6 for Glory.

Rolled 4, 6, 4, 5 = 19 (4d6)

>>1705638

>>1705639
Oh shit.

>>1705643
>Defense 42
>Influence 36
>Lands 15
>Laws 15
>Population 13
>Power 23
>Wealth 21

If I did it right, stats

>>1705644
>42 defence
Pfffffft ok sure. If we buy 8 more dear lord our defence will be citadel tier.

What about we were a men-at-arms of a landed knight who was a Targaryen loyalist.

We murdered the knight when a battle against some Arryn´s vassal began to went sour and swore ourselves under the Usurper´s banner. For our services, we received the land that was property of the Ser and got both the favor of the king and the loot all the battles that followed.

>>1705647
The thing we need to do is our population, we don't have to worry about any enemies on the outside.

File: 4.Defense.png (441 KB, 710x918)

441 KB PNG

>>1705639
+4 Defense
+6 Influence
+4 Law
+5 Power

God damn son.
So our finished starting resources are as follows:

Defense - 42
Influence - 36
Lands - 15
Law - 20
Population - 13
Power - 23
Wealth - 21

Those are some damn respectable stats for a Knightly House. Especially such a young one.

Again, thoughts. With such a high Defense stat we can afford a good deal of Defense Holdings or go all in on a Castle for 40. Story wise that might mean that the Knight took the castle of his former Lord, who might have been a Targaryen supporter, thus the Treachery.

Anyway!

Next up is indeed Defense. We have pic related for all of the base Holdings. I'd recommend Father's homebrews as well since they have a lot of smaller holdings that make Defense purchasing more interesting.

So discuss, and ask questions if you'd like.

The initial stat rolls were pretty good, 35d6 for an average result of >3.7 per die. And then Favor and Glory for starting events...

The dice gods are truly smiling.

>>1705649
Nah
Id say we got our name out in some tourney making the king acknowledge our existence and then did some big dick shit during the greyjoy rebellion

>>1705652
So how will time play into this? What year we starting at, since I want to know how much time we have before game of thrones happens.

>>1705662
How do you explain the treachery then?

>>1705652

I think we should definitive for the castle.

>>1705662
>>1705667
I actually planned on setting the quest in 288AC. A year before the Greyjoy Rebellion begins. So we have a conflict to work towards that will involve the Vale, even if only slightly.

>>1705652
I had the same idea for the Treachery idea, so I support that and spending all 40 on a castle.

>>1705670
Maybe go with the killed our former leige loag idea
May have done it because wideareed with our fellow valesme
May have done it becausw we saw the writting on the wall
May have done it because we saw our chance
May have done it because we were a coward who was scarred for his life
We haven't told anybody why we did what we did
>>1705652
Castle

>>1705682
Definitely castle

Although, it is going to be big for a man of our standing

>>1705677
So if I'm reading it right. Having a castle increases our defend by 8 making our grand total 50?

Also I vote for Castle

>>1705682
Holy fuck don't know what happened during that second sentence
*support
>>1705677
Well shit
Maybe we saved jon arryn from a clan raid

>>1705652
Castle, definitely

>>1705670
Mmmmmmabye we were a mercernary that preformed admirably during the rebellion as a low key sellsword, and we exchanged valuable tactical information to either side, in the end we actually stole someone else's glory and became knighted for our deeds, even though it was all motivated by selfishness and the acts of glory and not gold were a means to an end.


Something like that idk.

>>1705652
I say we purchase 8 and go for a full on superior castle. Cause thats one hell of an asset.

>>1705652
Castle

>>1705687
No, it gives us bonuses when we defend. Our stats are like currency we spend on stuff

>>1705687
Not really. The castle give us a bonus in combat when we defend it.

It doesn´t add to the defense resource.

OK guys the basic idea is:

We were a sworn to the Loyalist side in the War
We double crossed our former lord or employer
Because of that and our deeds in battle, we got gifted a castle and the land surrounding it.

How about that?

Now, what were we when the war began: a sellsword, a knight or a lowborn (men-at-arms, merchant...etc.)

>>1705707
Sellsword seems like the best explanation for all the events so far. Then we were knighted during the war and etc.

>>1705707
Id say a hedge knight from the vale who went down to kinglanding(vale tourneys have stiff competition) or just a simple sellsword

File: 5.Influence.png (68 KB, 353x615)

68 KB PNG

>>1705687
No not quite. The defense bonus is for Power holdings when they're defending the castle.

Anyway, looks like everyone wants to go on with the Castle. Which is going to be a task, a big empty thing for a Knight with no Household or History.

Next up is Influence. Which we have 36 of.

Now, we have the option of going Bachelor mode as many quests have before us. Or have a previous marriage before our ascent to a Landed Knight and have some children/heirs to speak of. Maybe the Knight is older and is looking to marry his heir and children to better stations in life than his own was. Wife might have been common born. Hell the Knight might have been.

Discuss what we'd like to do.

>>1705670


We were a knight in the service of a Targaryen align lord. A fat lord that never lift a finger in all his life and expected us to do all the fighting for him. It was fine when we were fighting was clansmen but Robert's Rebellion changed that. He order us to intercept Robert's much larger host on his march to Gulltown to buy himself and Marq Grafton time to gather his strength. Sick of all his bullshit we threw him out a window and join Robert's army instead.

>>1705707
How about a young Household knight. Still high on honour and virtue, and so when our lord joins the Loyalist side we are outraged due to the betrayal of Lord Arryn and the Barbarity of the Mad King yadda yadda yadda. More loyal to the Vale than to the Iron Throne.

>>1705720

Lets go Bachelor mode. It makes things much more interesting.

>>1705723
>>1705725
Supporting these together.

>>1705720
>Bachelor mode
We're a handsome lad, looking for pussy that is noble.

>>1705720
Something something Hot Dornish Wife

>>1705720
Bachelor would be good. Vale is one of the most politically interesting places, since Jon Arryn being hand makes a young, new knight an interesting proposition for everyone.

>>1705720
>Bachelor
Dornish women are shit tier just like their wine
Marry a proper andol girl

>>1705749
Also, Dorne is fairly non-influential right now due to the whole, supporting the Targaryans

>>1705749
>Dornish women are shit tier just like their wine
I like your style

>>1705755
> Targaryans
That I can agree with

>>1705723
I don´t know if I want to go for the honor route. Many GoT have exlored that too and I would rather be a little different.

But, instead of a sellsword and in order to not get a Bronn clone, what about we are a merchant that when the Targaryen end him gold to pay for weapons, he opted to deliver them to the Arryn´s?

Bachelor mode it is lads. Not unusual in the least.

So next up is Lands, pic related, which we have 15 of. That is rather weak actually.

The storyline reasoning for that is that most of the former Lord's lands were taken by neighboring Lords and the like and we were given only the primary domain.

Anyway, this works as such.

You need to purchase a Terrain type first (i.e. Plains, Wetlands, Mountains, or Hills)

From there you purchase features that are included in your domain, such as Rivers, Ruins, Forrests, etc.

Seeing as this is the Vale our options are either Mountains or Hills. Everything else is up to your guys.

>>1705761
Well we could be honourable at the start of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion forced us to grow up very quick, and loose our assumptions about honour.

>>1705763
Mountains
River
Coast

>>1705763

that's all 15

mostly cause i want a mine later to improve those house fortune rolls

Throwing your liege lord out a window isn't very honorable.

Executing him in the style of the Arryns for abandoning his liege lord? We had to make do, since we don't have a moon door.

>>1705770

We should have the coast line to have resources from the sea

Oh and here's the map I'll be using as "canon" for the quest. In case you wanted to think of a particular location for the House to be.

>>1705763
Mountain with dense woods plus a stream. Very secluded. Resource heavy, very defensible.

>>1705770
Supporting this.

You are right it might be a gray area because he stood against the the Arryns.

>>1705763

>>1705793

Yeah, but the point I was making is that we were his sworn knight and we threw him out the window the moment his orders seen like a bad idea.

>>1705801
How about you support me so we all can have a coast?

The river will be helpful in making farmland.

Okay let's do an actual vote to make this easier since we have three popular options.

>1. Mountains (Coast+Rivers) for 15
>2. Mountains (Road+Stream) for 15
>3. Hills (Coast+River+Grassland) for 14

>>1705804
Only when he betrayed his lord for a foul Tyrant who incinerates those invited in as guests.

Next up are Law and Population, which don't require any actions just a quick explanation.

Our Law score is 20, which gives a -5 to House Fortunes.

And our Population is 13, which gives a 0 to House Fortune.

Those are the things that are going to hurt and make this challenging in the beginning. Areas to focus on. Population likely dropped because of the former Lord's holdings going elsewhere. And the Law, because lol clansmen.

Next post will be for Power.

Alright sorry about that delay. Had to find something real quick.

Anyway, next up is Power, which we have 23 of. Which is respectable for a Knightly House.

So yeah, pic related.

Power works as such, you pick a Training level (i.e. Green, Trained, Veteran, Elite).

And you pick a unit. Archers, cavalry, infantry etc. Add those together for your total cost.

There are also a handful of homebrew options in Father's document if you'd like to use them as well. Discussion and questions.

>>1705886
3 green Archers (12 points)
2 green garrison (6 points)
1 green Infantry (5 points)
23 points total

>>1705886
One thing, if we are good at Battle leading, our troop level doesn't matter

>>1705886

1 green Archers (4 points)
1 Train garrison (5 points)
1 green Infantry (5 points)
1 Train Cavalry (8 points)

Total: 22 points

>>1705886
2 Green Archers (8)
2 Green Garrsion (6)
1 Green Support (3)
1 Green infantry (5)
22 points used

>>1705886
2 Green Archers (8)
1 Green Garrison (3)
1 Green Infantry (5)
1 Green Cavalry
1 Green Sellswords
We can't be a Knight of the Vale without Cavalry. And our numbers are probably low compared to our castle, so some sellswords could work

We should have some train troops, if we go full green they will break at the first sign of trouble.

>>1705886
>elite calvary
>elite crusaders
*knights of the vale intensifies*

Alright, so it looks like 2 units of Green Archers are a winner. So we'll take 8 off for that. Easy enough.

And a single unit of Green Infantry is popular enough as well. So another 5.

We'll go with one unit of a Green Garrison for 5.

That's 18 used up on the popular requests. Anything else for 7 more?

>>1705926
green cavalry

>>1705926
Green garrison is (3)
I support getting 2 garrison
Also 1 green support

Since we need people to heal our troops if they get hurt.

>>1705929

Yeah lets go with this.

>>1705926

>>1705932
Oh, wait you're right. I can't read apparently.

Oh, so we do have 7 left. Well shit.

>>1705935
Well shit then
Veteran
Seriously guys we need some not shit soldiers

>>1705945
Well, we do have the points to upgrade 3 units to trained

Veteran Garrison: 7

We have a castle, let´s make sure it is safe from bandits and invaders

Green Criminals: 1

Why send them to the Guard when we can use them just fine?

Trained Infantry: 7

Green Archers: 3

These three can form the bulk of our forces

Trained Scouts: 5

We need to make sure the mountain clans don´t get to us

Total 23

>>1705935
Green garrison is (3)
So you were right the first time
>>1705934
Cant if we get a green horse men.

>>1705950
Shit I counted wrong

>>1705944

What about we up the Garrison to Veteran?

And then we recruit some Green Scouts so no brigands can hide from us

>>1705886
1 x Green scouts (3)
1 x Green archers (4)
1 x trained cavalry (8)
1 x trained infantry (7)

Total = 22

>>1705950

I don't want criminals in our forces.

I think we should up the Garrison, Infantry and 1 archer to trained

Well if we want a unit of Veteran soldiers you guys can nix one of the Green Archers and pick up that Veteran Cavalry for 10.

What's the conversion to get more power again? We can grab a green garrison that way.

More troops, plus a garrison

>>1706033
>Option 1
We need a garrison

>>1706033
>Option 2
because green troops are fucking shit and will break at the first sign of trouble

>>1706058
All green though - they'll break at the first battle.

We need a core element of trained men.

Option 3. We need a Garrison that is worth a fuck and Scouts are a must. There are no plains nearby so Cavalry is not very essential.

>>1706071
>>1706033

Exaaaaactly. thank you.

>>1706065

Who said we dont train them or were looking for trouble.
Option 2 has no garrison

>>1706033
Option 1 is first choice if that doesnt win Put my vote to #3

>>1706087

I'll go with this, only with 2 instead of 1

>>1706033
>>Option 3

Alright by a narrow margin 2 wins.

Power is easy to get and we can fill in our gaps as necessary.

We'll be fine, no worries everyone. Concerns can be dealt with in game.

Okay, very last thing we need to handle is Wealth.

This is one of the trickier ones since there are so many options.

I'd recommend going through Out of Strife, Prosperity and the Homebrew options as well for some ideas.

I know the idea of a Mine was tossed around already.

A Maester is incredibly common as well, but remember this is a young Knightly House so they might not have one yet.

Either way, we have 21 Wealth to work with. Questions and discuss as always.

>>1706117
Mine + Port
+10 House fortune rolls
1 wealth remaining

>>1706120
This
Ports is why we chose coast and mines are important
Also what should we name our big fuck off castle?
What is even our houses name

>>1706120
This

>>1706120
Yeah about that, can't get a port without a Small Town. So that's going to have to be a no on the port.

>>1706120
So our main sources of wealth will be trade and minerals?

>>1706126
ah, damn. Must have missed that line in the book

>>1706126
all it says in the book is "Requires coastline" for port, just looked it up

Speaking of, here are the Mine options if we're so inclined to pick one of those up.

Influence +1, Wealth Loss Mitigation +1

6 wealth left.

I don't use the Wealth holdings in the corebook outside of Maester.

>>1706144
That requires us to be in the Reach, Riverlands or Dorne. So sorry, no.

>>1706148
Ah, all i have is the core book.

>>1706151
OOSP is in the .pdf dump in the OP. I'd recommend picking it up. Very helpful.

>>1706117
>Valuable mines (15)
>Smelter (5)

1 left over

>>1706165
Supporting unless someone was a better idea

>>1706165

Supporting

>>1706165
Works well enough for me

Maybe our house words can be something along the lines of "the guilty shall fall"

>>1706200

Maybe OP will have options for house words

And as all Vale Houses do we go with the mine, and some addition smelting.

So that leaves us with:

Defense: 2 - Castle (40)

Influence: 36

Lands: 0 - Mountains w/ Coast+River (15)

Law: 20 - -5 House Fortunes

Population: 13 - 0 House Fortunes

Power: 1 - Green Archers (4), Green Scouts (3), Trained Cavalry (8), Trained Infantry (7)

Wealth: 1 - Valuable Mine (15), Smelter (5)

And that's our lot. Follow up post in a second so we can start coming up with some of the details.

Alright, so we have some story details to consider here.

>Who is our Knight? What is his name, his background, new House name? Was he a bastard? Common born? A sellsword?
>Does the Knight have a family? Parents, siblings? Where are they?
>What is his coat of arms? House Words?
>What is our Castle called?
>Where is our Castle located?
>House Earp was the former House that owned this Castle, what happened to the former Lord? Why did the Knight betray him? What was his relation to the former Lord?

>>1706249
>Family
Yes
Mom and Dad
Two younger brother and older sister.
Alive with us. Sister marry off to someone.
We were a sellsword turn knight

>>1706249
I would imagine we pushed our lord out the window
We had waining respect for him but the rebellion was too much, so we killed him and joined up with our fellow men of the vale to help put down the mad king
We were then made a lord by lord jon arryn for our actions

>>1706249

Alright time to whip shit up anons.

>What is our Castle called?
>Where is our Castle located?

Totengrad, the castle is located at the end of the mountains past the river

>Who is our Knight? What is his name, his background, new House name? Was he a bastard? Common born? A sellsword?

The knight's name can be either Tomas or something. New house's name is can be either Grafton or Dumas

>>1706315
House grafton is taken

>>1706315
How about Michael or Charles.

>>1706315
For family we should do Eagle or Griffin since we are in the mounatins

>>1706249

>Who is our Knight? What is his name, his background, new House name? Was he a bastard? Common born? A sellsword?

Sir Jonathan Dawn, our family serve the previous lord for generation and we have a some of their blood from a grandmother.

>Does the Knight have a family? Parents, siblings? Where are they?

Our father die a few years back from a bad fever and we took his place as the right hand man of the previous lord. Our mother is still alive and lives in Gulltown.

>>1706331

House Dumas then

>>1706333

I can agree with a griffin

>>1706337
I think i like this for our parentage

>>1706337
I would like us to have some brothers or sisters.

>>1706354
Maybe a white griffon killing a black vulture on a blue field?

>>1706372
How about what you said but a gold snake

>>1706354
I'm a fan of the griffon personally.

>>1706278
Agreed.

Our dad has dementia though, and is slowly losing his mind.

>1706354
>I'm a fan of the griffon personally.
>>1706354
I also love the griffon.

>>1706383
Yes I agree.

>>1706354
Vote

>>1706394
Griffon
We still haven't decided our house words or even it's name though

>>1706401

House words, hm. What should they reflect?

>>1706414
I think the words i posted further up the thread are too om the nose, but i think it should have something to do with justice

>>1706414
"Justice soars"

>>1706363
>>1706369

Our older sister is marry to a knight that serves at Redfort and our little brother serves as our squire. We might knight him in the coming months if he gets change to shine. Also mother refuses to leave Gulltown permanently and not even our new castle will make her think otherwise.

>>1706379
>>1706436
I like the griffon and the words.

So a griffon is a lock. Easy enough on that one.

Dumas for a name? Not seeing any other opinions on this.

Lord Emmerst Earp was your former Lord and benefactor. His family had employed your own for several generations. Born of common stock and raised just beyond it your grandsires have been stewards, knights, and castellans for House Earp. Your father was the Lord's right-hand man, a steward known for his ability with figures. As he grew in age his mind deteriorated more and more, to the point where he found himself without a place by Lord Emmerst. He resides in his old study, a tower loft on the north side of the castle, scribbling notes of nonsense and hardly even remember his family or their names when they come to visit.

Your mother lives in Gulltown, with your elder sister's husband, an unnotable Knight in service to House Arryn of Gulltown.

Your younger brothers, a pair of twins now serve in your military. Co-Captains of the Infantry that you now field.

Is this acceptable?

>>1706453
Accepted

>>1706278
Agree as well with griffin
>>1706453
Yes

Some words
"Telling the truth will let you sour"

"Being Just and Honorable allow one to touch the heavens"

>>1706453

I can go with this

>>1706453

Any other name but Dumas? Everything else is fine.

>>1706453
>Dumas
Change name
Vote for name.
MIchael, Charles, something other than Dumas

>>1706453
Yes to everything but name

Alright, that settles that then. A vague understanding of our family at least.

Please do suggest other House names if you don't like Dumas. All the names you want.

>>1706470
>>1706475

I proposed Dumas as a house name. I can go with whatever for a first name

>>1706475
Ser Gaelin of House Falker
Griffin crest
Justice soars words

>>1706486
For House name I wanted something more in line with Giffin, or Griffon.

I would even agree with our house name being Griffin.

>>1706475

What about Jonas Griff of House Griff?

Also does our father have to be senile? Rarer he be gone be gone dignity.

>>1706485
Options:
>Tvent
>Olander
>Yipnul
>Svinti
>Grallner

>>1706485
Barca? as in Carthaginian generals and such.

>>1706490
>>1706491

That sounds slightly retarded. If it worked like that the Greyjoys would be the Squidims, the Starks would be the Wulfen, the Targs would be the Dragos, etc.

>>1706499

Grallner is fine

>>1706491
>Also does our father have to be senile? Rarer he be gone be gone dignity.
Who knows maybe OP can make some backstory with it, or a side story about it.

How about Jonathan Griff, and shorten that to Joseph or Jonas?

>>1706504
Sometimes it works well.

>>1706507

For Gryff I just remember that cunt from the Telltale GoT game

>>1706507
Please no Griffin names

>>1706491
It makes things interesting. Not everyone in Westeros dies with dignity after all. The Knight taking care of his father is part of a side plot I've begun to think of. Your father's name is Cristoff by the by.

>>1706517

An alternate to dad being senile: died of dysentery. No dignity in that death

>>1706535
Nah I kind of want the father alive right now. He'll be a grounding point for the Knight in his new position in life and it'll serve in a plotline I'm cooking up.

Don't really see any particular interest in a House name here. Nothing that's really growing in support. I suppose we'll use the banner I mocked up since that didn't have anyone against the idea either.

Maybe a different subject? Do we want to really nail down a location for the castle? And a name for it?

>>1706607
Well here is my two cents on locations, I'm divide on which to go North or South of the river.

Names
Mountain Hall
River Rock
Iron Mountain
Iron Wall
Castle Near River and Mountain
Rocky Coast
Hall of Griffins
Griffin or Griffon Nest

>>1706621

I'd say go north of the river, name it Iron Wall

>>1706621
North of the mountain and River Rock

>>1706621

What about griffin hall?

>>1706621
I vote north. Not keen on any of the names really. The name should relate to House Earp in my opinion, since it wasn't our castle to begin with.

>>1706621
North
And
Griffin Hall

>>1706607
For the banner you made I think the blue is too dark, maybe a lighter color blue

Did i miss it? FUck

>>1706727
>Did i miss it? FUck
No

>>1706621
Aviantas - Castle Name
Ser/Lord Ghryf of House Falkor - Names
Justice soars - House words
South of River - Location
Regal Griffin - Crest

Vote and move on please

This>>1706763

>>1706662

Places and castles get rename all the time when houses get displaced or extinguish. The wolfwood, was the Blackwood before the Starks drove the Blackwoods from the North.

>>1706731
well, i miss it from the start

>>1706621
I posted the map but didn't vote

Location North of River.
Name of Castle, go with either Rocky Coast or Griffin Hall

>>1706782
At least you didn't miss 20 or something threads of it

>>1706621
That seems as good a place as any. I suppose the river is a rather popular place for newly made Lords and Knights to find their holdings. See, >>1705935 for more details. If you don't know House Bordain I'd suggest giving it a look. The Grey Lord of Morderendgrad is a frightful neighbor to have. I think I'll split the Badic holdings on that map. We'll call the eastern half yours. Give or take.

I agree that none of the names are really working for me either.

I'm naming the family and decided on L names for the family so how about a quick vote for the name of the Knight.

>Liam
>Landon
>Lincoln

Also the status of the mother:

>Common born, a woman of the Earp Household.
>Bastard Born, a woman from Gulltown, base born of House Shett.

>>1706763
Vote pls

>>1706788

>Neighbors with William Bordain

Landon it is. A good name for a Knight.

Let's vote on the name of the House.

>Gryphen
>Grallner
>Dumas
>Sarunrett

Also let's vote on who we swear our banner too.

>House Lynderly of Snakewood
>House Belmore of Strong Song
>House Corbray of Heart's Home

>>1706888
>Grallner

>House Belmore of Strong Song

>>1706888
Sarunrett
Lynderly

>>1706888

>Sarunrett
>House Belmore of Strong Song

Close to that heck of a guy Will Bordain

>>1706888
>House Belmore
>Grallner

Ser Landon of House Grallner then. Sworn to House Belmore of Strong Song.

House Earp was once considered a rival of House Belmore, powerful Lords of the river. Lord Benedar Belmore made a considerable effort to pull the Earp's former lands into his already considerable holdings. Landon is entirely unaware of this. Just knowing that Lord Belmore showered favor upon the young Knight who rode with what was left of House Earp's banners and those loyal to the Arryns to meet him.

I'll be writing up some stuff regarding the House and probably pop off to bed here soon. Tomorrow we'll roll up Ser Landon Grallner's stats and see what we can do about starting up and fucking some clansmen.

A couple more questions though to discuss:

>What does the valuable mine produce?
>What sort of personality does Landon have? What was his station in House Earp before the betrayal?

>>1706978
>>What does the valuable mine produce?
Iron, and maybe also some tin and copper.

>What sort of personality does Landon have?
Honorable, Just and other things

>What was his station in House Earp before the betrayal?
Head of the Personal Guard, or Head of the House Earp Army
