A Fearsome Foe, A Faithful Friend

Synopsis

An old house, the Conningtons were a significantly wealthy house during the rule of House Targaryen before Robert's Rebellion. Due to being the Hand of the Mad King Aerys IV, House Connington sided with the Royalist but split during the War of the Five Kings when Jon Connington remained with the Targaryens while Ronnet Connington sided with Stannis. Historically, House Connington of Griffin's Roost was a house of landed knights from Griffin's Roost before being elevated into proper lordship by Aegon IV when the title was given back to them.

Character Information

The Young Griffon

Identity

Caryll Connington

Age

24 years old

Role

Lord of Griffin's Roost, the Champion of Cain

Characterization

Like all Connintons, Caryll is particularly passionate and competitive. He’s not afraid to speak his mind with blunt honestly, even if it lands him into hot water against his superiors such as Lord Paramount Baratheons or the High Septon, forcing the Targaryens to bail him due to their marriage connections.
Insufferably handsome and proud with the skills to back them up, Caryll Connington finds himself a prisoner of his own status as he is forced to become the new lord of Griffin’s Roost after his father died of the Shivers.
His sisters and cousins are the only ones in the castle that can match his unyielding fervor and hotheadedness leading to the occasional shouting matches and sibling feuds. But with all the arguments and shouting matches, he still loves his family dearly.

Attributes & Talents

He didn’t earn the title of the Champion of Cain just by being good in swordplay, he earned it by being the best. So eager and full of determination as he looked towards his ancestor Ser Steffon Connington for inspiration, Caryll trained day and night whenever and wherever he could with his father, the castle’s sergeant at arms, and other lords under the Baratheon made him the finest knight in the Stormlands and one of the deadliest swordsmen in the Seven Kingdoms.

Cayrll’s handsomeness couldn’t be understated. With the brawn and the beauty, he was every maiden’s dream that was on par with Robert Baratheon’s and Jaime Lannister’s mythical good looks. With piercing blue eyes and hair as red as dragonfire, Caryll looks very much a shining knight in armor that popped out of a fairy tale story.

Immediate Family

Laisa Connington, twin sister
Enith Connington, triplet sister
Cira Connington, triplet sister
Soniya Connington, triplet sister.
Celia, Gracyie, Alara, and Cathelyne are his cousins but he sees them as sisters since he grew up with them.

Personal Relations

Nephew of Corlys Targaryen, proud that he has an uncle in the Targaryen royal family
Bannerman of Barristan Baratheon, though loyal, Caryll wished he didn’t have to deal with his liege lord’s violent mood swings and hopes that the Baratheon heir would just inherit already.

Huh, I suppose I can try the Cleganes or the Umbars unless they're both dead too

Academy of Noble Arms - The Golden Generation

For some clarification on what weapons are qualified for noble arm, do firearms made prior to WW1 qualify such as rifles and revolvers?

Week 12, Cycle 1, Day 1

"Did you also notice how many of the birds and small creatures are moving inland?" Orlome pondered out loud to Tivaldis as she wrapped her arm around his waist. The two were sharing a leaf bed located inside their lean-to tent that they hastily crafted together out of fallen tree branches and twigs.

Tivaldis can only grunt in response. He has grown quite tired due to the responsibilities placed on him by Uriel. He should've expected how difficult it was to discern edile plants from non-edible plants. For the survival of the Elves, the sooner he was able to identify a food source, the better their diet will be.

"You think.." he groaned, "That it has something to do with the waves and the fish washing up onshore? Even the rain can't wash away their decaying stench."

"Maybe." Orlome replied softly, "I just hope Uriel knows what to do."

---

After a couple of days of careful observation with the weather and fauna movement, Uriel announced to the tribe that it is in their best interest to follow their movement and go inland. The best course of action he proposed was to follow the River Tylis upstream for higher ground. The waves from the ocean noticeably encroaching beyond the coastline and as such, the elves needed to find a new temporary home until they could figure out when the normal weather would return.

But first, the elves had the complicated task of seeking ways to store rations and water for the trip. However, time is of the essence and Uriel took a gamble of his tribe's survival by having them figure out the solution on the move.

Time Passed:
many hours passed but still on the first day

Time Until Next Turn:

Events: the Tylissians are under the impression that something is happening given the change of behavior in the weather and local fauna. Uriel decided to have them go inland by moving upstream the River Tylis to locate higher ground.

Week 1, Cycle 1, Day 1

Tilvadus groaned as he woke up with a sneeze. The first thing he saw and heard was the sunlight peeking through the tree canopies and the chirping of birds while they flew from branch to branch. He wondered why he felt so cold until he realized that he had no clothes on him. Resting his back against the tree trunk to steady himself, Tilvadus looked to his left and right hoping to see if there were more people around.

Thankfully there were as he could see other individuals with pointed ears wandering about with growing curiosity. He saw the young and the old, parents and children, and men and women trying to make sense of their surroundings. Suddenly, a loud voice shook the forest they were in.

"We need food, shelter, clothing, and protection!" the voice shouted to the heavens. "Menoic! Get a census, I must know how many of us are present in this area!"

---

80 elves, only 80 elves were accounted for as they shyly gathered around the current leader of this group. Uriel, an elf of ashen blonde hair that reached his elbows carefully laid out his decisions to his fellow elves. A source of clean water was paramount for the small tribe to ensure their survival. And so began a mildly long trek to find the end of the forest which the elves found to be a bay area that surrounds the small peninsula they were on.

On the distant horizon, they could spot three mouths of rivers flowing into the bay area. A good sign for a source of fresh water for the elves. It seems the location they found themselves in was a good spot to take residence but Uriel was cautious. He was determined to explore the rivers to see if it was safe for drinking and washing. With few other able males to form a small scouting party, he set out to reach the closest river to the starting location by walking along the coast to avoid getting lost in the wilderness.

The elves that remain in place have to set out to start gathering material for clothes and food to eat.

Time Passed:
many hours passed but still on the first day

Time Until Next Turn:
3 months

Events: the Tylissians found a potential spot to live in a place in the forest and have identified three rivers that could provide a source of fresh water.

Tylissians

RACE NAME: Tylissians
RACE TRAITS: Ancient (-2) Members of this species have unnaturally long lifespans, the oldest members living as long as 200-250 years. Their bodies are also significantly more resilient as a result, able to recover from dangerous diseases and other adverse effects that might shorten their lifespan.
Slow Breeders (+1) Members of this species reproduce much slower than normal, be it a lack of natural incentive or a long gestation period. As a result, their population grows much slower, and recovering from plagues or disasters is much more costly for them than normal.
Sedentary (0) Members of this species do not like to travel and prefer to stay near their birthplace for most of their lives. Their cities are few but often massive, built by generations upon generations of their members who have all lived in the same place. Exploration is a mostly foreign concept to them, only done when space or supplies are running out to maintain the population of their gigantic communities.
Pointy Ears (0)
Tall (0) Members of this species are naturally taller than their peers.
Vegetarians (0) Members of this species tend to avoid eating meat whenever possible. They would use the animals for domesticated labor or for producing dairy products like cheese and milk.
RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:A race of humanoids that are easily recognizable for their pointed ears and extreme nature hair color. An elf’s age can be easily discerned by the color of their hair. If their hair is pure white or pale blonde, then they are one of the elders. What’s extraordinary about the elves is how clean they seem to be all the time.

POPULATION: Up for community vote, depending on traits
RACE BEHAVIOUR: Due to their extended life spans, this developed a tendency to look down upon other races with contempt. Haughty and scornful, the elves would always appear narcissistic and self-centered.

Unfortunately, that’s because of the elves’ different worldview since they can live to be centuries years old. They think long term and their actions and speech reflect that. Races like humans can never fully comprehend the elvish desire to be perfect and to do it perfectly.
HISTORY: Tylissathon wasn’t built in a day, it all started with the first mud brick was laid down...
CULTURE: From the heavens came the Magyars and with them, they brought life...
TECHNOLOGIES: Tech tree coming very soon. Until then, the best way to think of your people is the natives on lonely islands on the pacific. Except, they have no culture just yet~
