Throughout this period they have remained the overlords of the Westerlands, thanks to their status as the wealthiest Great House in Westeros and their ability to command respect and loyalty from their vassals - severely handling those who step out of line. Their seat is [b]Casterly Rock[/b], a near impregnable castle built into a colossal hill of stone, proudly overlooking the harbour of Lannisport. It is said to stand taller than even the Wall or Hightower of Oldtown, and from atop this great perch they lord over the Westerlands.

Repairing the damage done to Lannisport, investing in infrastructure and defence, granting loans (with strict terms) to their vassals, rebuilding their fleet. These have been the major preoccupations for the Lions of the Rock for decades after the Dance, their roar rarely heard outside of the Westerlands in what had become an atypically insular realm. Indeed, when the Young Dragon launched his conquest of Dorne, it was not troops of the Westerlands that bolstered his ranks - though, Lannister gold did fill their war chests. Only in recent generations have the Lions begun to rise from their perceived slumber. Lord Gerold Lannister - named Master of Coin to Baelor I in recognition of the Houseā€™s influence and as thanks for their contribution to the war effort in Dorne - relocated to Kingā€™s Landing in 163AC. Brought with him was his son and heir of four and ten, Tytos. The presence of House Lannister was increasingly felt in the capital, with Gerold serving on the small council until 171AC. By this time, the realms finances had been brought to fair order and important relationships built, most importantly the friendship between Prince Daeron and Tytos. Though Tytos would return to the Rock with his father upon the ascension of Viserys II, their strong friendship remained. After the brief rule of Viserys II followed the long, torturous reign of Aegon the Unworthy in 172AC. The scandals of misdeeds, depravity and excess made for entertaining gossip in the early years of his reign, though things quickly became more consequential for the Lions. When Aegon squandered much of the crown's coin on a ā€˜grand fleetā€™ destined to be lost in a storm, he soon turned to the wealthiest of the Great Houses to fuel his decadent lifestyle, bribes and gifts. House Lannister dutifully obliged, and made no objections as dates for repayment slid by without notice from the capital. When Tytos rode to the capital in the summer of 178AC, determined to raise the issue of crown repayments, he instead arrived to witness a gruesome scene. Sir Terrence Toyne, guilty of laying with Aegonā€™s mistress, was ripped apart limb by limb while a screaming girl - the mistress - made to watch. Thereafter, both the girl and her father were executed. Brackens, Tytos was told. The King was without limit, and his court more broken than any outside it could have imagined. It did not take counsel from Daeron to have Tytos realise that any attempt to pursue crown repayments was folly. He spent only a few weeks in Kingā€™s Landing, associating himself with the growing faction surrounding Prince Daeron at court before returning to the Rock. Perhaps it was this friendship between Daeron and Tytos that drew the attention of Aegon the Unworthy, or perhaps he would have always acted as he did - but his demands for loans of gold became more frequent, the sums larger, and word occasionally reached the Rock of some insult thrown to them by Aegon at court. Nevertheless, the Lions of Casterly Rock rode out the storm of his reign from the Westerlands, with Aegon finally meeting his end in 184AC. Since then, House Lannister has maintained close relations with the capital. These have grown only stronger since the passing of Lord Gerold in 188AC, with Tytos taking his place as Lord Paramount. By 202AC, House Lannister has finally begun to recoup the financial losses with the growing stability of the realm. Not only is it in their financial interests to see the status quo maintained, but with the misrule of Aegon IV fresh in memory, their stance against the legitimized bastards is strong, disapproving of the incomes maintained for them and - in the case of Daemon Blackfyre - of the land granted. What lays ahead is unclear, but the House of Lannister is determined not to fall quiet as they had during the reign of Aegon. History will not repeat, and they will live by their words, Hear me Roar.

[url=https://fontmeme.com/game-of-thrones-font/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/221110/869e305a3403c55fdb9bd23254d656b4.png[/img][/url] Born to Tytos and Cerelle, Liore came into the world as calm as a breeze along the coast. Even from birth Liore knew how important it was to blend into the surroundings, to change and adapt to a situation in order to thrive in it. It didn't take long for the young lion to grow into a beautiful young woman, strong and nubile. She caught a lot of attention from the opposite sex; [s]her older brother was no different. However, their torrid love affair could date back even sooner if one were taking notes[/s]. One such suitor was Darius Darklyn of Duskendale. A proud house, stubborn and hungry like herself. In the beginning she was attracted to him, although he was nearly ten years her senior. He was handsome and the few times they had met he was sweet on her. A true gentleman. Not until after they wed (Liore was only seventeen) did she see the change, the mask he wore cracking and crumbling away. A monster hiding in plain sight. Oh yes, Liore was well versed in how to play a part. She had been doing it all her life. [i]Smile brightly and they will never know the struggles behind it. Cover up so no one suspects foul play. A little fib won't hurt anyone.[/i] Yes, Liore Lannister Darklyn knew how to adapt to any situation thrown her way. It was a gift. Soon after the wedding, Liore was pregnant with their first child - a true Darklyn heir. However, he passed a few hours after birth. Complications they told her. Something went wrong during the pregnancy. Never again did Darius lay a finger on her when she was carrying. Suffice to say it's the reason why she has six children. [i][s]Though they aren't his.[/s][/i] Regardless of either of them being married, Lyman and Liore discovered that nothing could keep them from one another. Not a wife, nor an abusive husband. And so their affair continued well on into... well it never stopped. When it was uncovered what was going on in the Darklyn clan Lyman and Liore came up with a plan to rid themselves of his presence. It wasn't difficult and it didn't take long before he was out of the picture and Liore was a widowed woman, living at Casterly Rock with her children. And in close proximity to her brother. Easy access for them. It was convincing her father not to marry her off so soon after her late husband's death that has proven to be tricky these last few months. She's managed to guilt him into holding off, but now? Two years is a long time to be without a husband, and her children to be without a father - or so Tytos claims. How will she get out of it this time? [hider= Personality] Liore is willful, ambitious and has a certain low cunning. She is hungry and greedy for power; moreso in the sense of elevating the family's power rather than her own. Though she isn't above putting her needs [i](and her children's) [/i]above even those she holds most dear. Liore is a bit impatient and demanding - especially of attention - and never forgets a slight, whether real or imagined. She weighs her options is more level headed than her brothers [i](though that isn't saying much)[/i]. Viewing disagreement as defiance. She believes herself to be subtle and politically astute - as much as she can be given her status, gender and sex. She hates being excluded [i](from anything)[/i] on account of her gender, and resents the customs and conventions put on her because she is female. She thinks of herself as a female version of her father and feels slighted when people do not obey her commands as they would have done for Lord Tytos, but instead give her their counsel, or disagree with her, which she faults on her gender. Liore hates to be second guessed or questioned on her motives and commands. She takes after her father as far as her intelligence goes and implements orders as he would, so why is [i]she[/i] the one receiving push back? She also does not shy away from using sex as a weapon or a means of control. Anything to make sure she gets what she wants in the end. Though a lot of the times she isn't enjoying the means to get there. [/hider] [/color] [/hider]
