[color=purple][sub][ ⚔ ]Synopsis[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]House Dondarrion is one of the Principal Marcher Lords of the Stormlands, holding their seat at Blackhaven along the Dornish marches. The Current ruling Lord is [b]Raymont Dondarrion[/b], son [b]Borros Dondarrion[/b] (83-131 AC), and a Veteran of the Dance of Dragons as well as Insular conflicts throughout the Stormlands.[/color][/indent]

[color=purple][sub][ ⚔ ]Military Strength[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]House Dondarrion is a fairly powerful house in the Stormlands as one of the principal Marcher Lords, made to protect the Stormlands from Dornish invasion. The House can draw perharps two thousand to two thousand five-hundred swords. The men at arms and knights sworn to House Dondarrion are hard men, having spent their lives fighting Dornish raiders and Stormlands bandits. They are trained well in fighting these dangerous foes, and in the defense of Blackhaven.

The ratio of horse to foot is quite like the rest of the Stormlands, having far more infantry than mounted men with a 3-1 ratio of foot to horse. The Infantry and cavalry are well trained and use to harsh or not ideal conditions of their homeland. They recently recovered fully from casualties taken during the Dance.[/color][/indent]

[color=purple][sub][ ⚔ ]Recent History[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]The Dance of Dragons shaped House dondarrions Lord, Raymont, into what he is now. He joined his father, brother and House Baratheon in their support of Aegon II and his ascent to the Iron Throne. Being of the greens, Raymont took part in several Key Battles, most notably The battle of the Kingsroad, or the 'Muddy Mess'. At this battle, House Dondarrion had all its strength when the Riverlands Lords routed the Green forces. Raymont and his brother Cletus watched as their father was dragged from his horse and killed, and their uncle Orys was horrendously maimed in much the same way. Cletus panicked and tried to run, but Raymont rallied him and Dondarrion forces that remained and managed to join Harwyn Baratheon in breaking from the slaughter. They say Raymont cut his way through 10 Knights to get to his fathers corpse first and dragged it from the fight with the help of Cletus and a revolving group of men as each was cut down in the retreat.

This followed only a few months after the death of Raymont's lover during the time, and together the events soured the mans demeanour. He became dour and solemn, often locking himself in his chambers or spending lengthy time in Blackhaven's sept or riding alone. After a month or so of this, Lord Raymont seemed to return to the world, if still solemn and quiet. With the dance ended, Lord Dondarrion focused on his own house and rebuilding what was taken during the dance. He rebuilt their forces, and hardened them against Dornish raiders and Stormlands bandits. Though soured at the outcome of the dance and Rhaenyra's sons ascension to the throne Lord Raymont has shown no dissent since.

Now he bides his time, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his father, uncle and the Greens.[/color][/indent]

[color=purple][sub][ ⚔ ]Appearance[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Stannis is every bit a Stormlander, his black hair and blue eyes lend credence to his birth. He is still young, and fit as he must be to lead men to war. He is tall and lean, his face most often in a frown or scowl. The man rarely smiles, though the few that have seen him smile say it is surprisingly warm. His strong features cut a handsome face even though it seems to rarely be happy. He wears the armour of his father, a gambeson under a coat of plates sewn onto chainmail. He is of only average height, but still cuts a somewhat intimidating frame thanks to his steely demeanour.[/color][/indent]

[color=purple][sub][ ⚔ ]History[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Born shortly before his father left for the Dance of Dragons, and spent his first two years at home with his mother in Blackhaven. It was then when his first siblings arrived at Blackhaven from the fields of the Dance. His mother was distraught at the belief that Raymont could have lain with another woman. Even so, she did as he asked and raised them alongside Stannis... but Stannis never forgot how his mother looked at them and how she had cried. At first he was angry with his father, believing that he had bettrayed his mother.

Slowly though his blame shifted, and he turned his ire upon his bastard siblings. He believed they were a stain on his fathers reputation, and turned a cold shoulder to them. Though raised side by side he never respected them, gave them a chance or believed them his equal. It only became more apparent when his father taught them to fight, and Stannis has always turned his nose up at the two, almost as if he wishes not to acknowledge their existence.

Once Raymont returned from the Dance he taught  his heir all he knew, and the man shaped Stannis quite a bit. The boy took up his serious and solemn demeanour and steely resolve. He learned to fight like him ,to disdain full plate for its clumsy weight in favor of more flexible armour. He learned to be harsh and fair, and to deal with all subjects equally. He learned how to fight the Dornish raiders and Stormland bandits along the Marches, and how to deal with the other houses of the Stormlands.  Now he is poised to replace his father and inherit Blackhaven, how he will rule the ancient hold is anyones guess.[/color][/indent]
