>>5907339Been a while since I've been in one of these, back with Page, Princely, Plasma, Rad King Aerys. I started a bit of Shryke but never kept up. Glad to see another up.
>Old lord (50-70) with adult daughter (18-29 range). Every member of the house, including the lord himself, is anticipating the lord’s death to occur sooner rather than later. Whether either of them like it or not, both the lord and his heir have resigned themselves to the fact that the house will be passing to the lord’s unwed daughter rather than a proven knight. At least a few others likely have their own plans for rulership of the house.>More of a martial bend and might have been a known name at tournies in his prime, at least in the Stormlands. He knows his letters as befits his station, but he is best at solving problems in his armor.>Enjoys, or at least pretends to enjoy, the company of her peers. Not the cleverest but with looks and/or a social disposition suitable enough to earn compliments.As we had the following..
>Defeat>Infastructure>Decline>Ascent>invasion/revolt>DeclineInvasion/Revolt and Decline being the most recent events and the lord not having fathered a son, I think him being captured during the invasion/revolt event as a prisoner of war could be an interesting way to explain that. Either that, or he did have a son or sons but he/they died in battle leading to the last decline event. Maybe even captured alongside the lord?
With the current heir being a woman, being brought up at court without her parents (unless her mother is still alive) her brother(s)? both dying (unless one survived for some fun story later), she got thrown into the position of heir suddenly and recently. She knows court life but only ever expected to be married off, not rule, so she's ill-equipped.
Generated this quickly and I think it looks quite fitting.
>>5907395I'll back the ideas for this. I was trying to find a link between the Dun of Duntreow and Don of the nearby Dondarrions, but I can't think of anything, something for the future maybe.
