Lady Irene Yronwood, The Bloodroyal, Warden of the Stone Way[/b]
[Indent][i]Born 125 AC, (32 y/o) Lady Irene Yronwood is the second-born of Lord Corrin Yronwood by Lady Norra Wyl. Like most Yronwoods, Lady Irene's appearance favors her Andal hertiage over the Rhoynish influence in most of Dorne. Her skin freckles and burns under the Dornish sun, her hair is a pale yellow color and her eyes are like bright blue stones. She wears her hair long, braided in cords to hold it out of her eyes. Typically, she wears long, breathable drapes to keep cool in the Far South.[/I][/indent]
[hider=Backstory]Lady Irene was the second-born of the Yronwood line. Like all noble children, Lady Irene learnt the skills needed to be a lord- reading and writing, geography, the banners of the houses of Dorne and those of the Seven Kingdoms. To a much lesser degree than her brothers, she received martial training - in which she favored archery.

Her elder brother assumed the seat of House Yronwood but failed to produce an heir before his untimely death, where in a drunken stupor he plummeted from the ramparts of Castle Yronwood.

Lady Yronwood has ruled the lands since for a year now and has recently produced an heir to the ancestral seat. Though she is relatively new to ruling, she has grand visions for the future of her house.[/hider]
[b]Lord-Consort Osvald Martell[/b]
[Indent][i]Born 139 AC, (18y/o) Lord Osvald bears considerable Rhoynish influence. He has black hair and brown eyes and olive skin. Though not considerably well-built he manages to give off a lordly vibe. He wears light robes in Dornish fashion.[/i][/indent]
[hider=Backstory]Lord Osvald is a first-cousin of the ruling line of House Martell. He and Lady Irene conceived an heir on the night of their wedding and have not shared a bed since. Which, for them, is fine as they view their marriage as little more than political -both nobles favoring the company of their own paramours.

Lord Osvald typically represents House Yronwood in diplomatic matters and spends a considerable amount of time in Sunspear. Lady Yronwood and he keep up regular correspondence via raven.[/hider]
[b]Paramour Mariela Sand[/b]
[Indent][i]Born 132 AC (25y/o). Lady Irene's paramour is also from the coast, boasting similar Rhoynish features to her husband.[/i][/indent]

[b]Lord-Commander Martin Yronwood[/b]
[Indent][i]Born 128 AC (29y/o), third-born of Lord Corrin Yronwood by Lady Norra Wyl. Like most Yronwoods, Lord Martin is a blonde haired, blue eyed stony Dornishman. He has a warrior's body, boasting large muscles and a strong frame.[/i][/indent]

[b]Lord Benedict Yronwood[/b]
[i][indent]Born 157 AC (0y/o), first-born of Lady Irene Yronwood by Lord Osvald Yronwood of Sunspear. Blonde of hair, blue of eye. He is a tiny baby.[/indent][/i][/hider]

The Yronwoods are a proud house with a storied history. Before the arrival of the Rhoynar, the Yronwoods ruled over a large and powerful Dornish kingdom that rivaled that of the Martells. Yronwood claims were fertile farmlands, well-wooded and rich in deposits of iron, tin, and silver. At their height, they were the richest of the Dornish kingdoms.

Now, they hesitantly bend the knee to the Rhoynar-backed house from Sunspear. When Nymeria landed along with the ten thousand ships, her Rhoynar bolstered the armies of House Martell. With her might, Nymeria launched a campaign to unite all of Dorne under the red sun banner. One of Yronwood's longest-standing rivalries is with House Fowler of Skyreach due to their role in Nymeria's War.

The Yronwoods are the second most powerful of the Dornish houses. They are capable of fielding between 9,000 and 10,000 soldiers at full-strength. In addition, the Yronwoods have a strong chivalric tradition especially among the Dornishmen. Landed knights under the Yronwood banner number close to 100. An elite group of ten knights make up Yronwood's elite guard, all knights in emply of House Yronwood report to Lord-Commander Martin Yronwood - Lady Yronwood's younger brother.

Lady Yronwood birthed an heir the same year as King Daeron's coronation; the babe cements the union between the Martells and their Yronwood bannermen. Just a year before, however, her elder brother died a freak accident;with no heirs of his own, House Yronwood passed to Lady Irene. Lord Osvald Martell has journeyed to Kings Landing to congratulate the new King on his coronation. Lord Martin Yronwood is thus far unmarried, though he is nearly thirty.[/hider]

Approved. Two notes, though:

Lord Osvald Martell would be Prince Osvald Nymeros Martell.

What's Mariela's story? (I might look to make her an acquaintance of Aly's.)
