House History :
​

 
​

House Rowan is one of the oldest Houses in Renzivia, as they were one of the first houses to emerge after the Age of the First Ones. They claimed the mountains as their own, and many followed them and swore loyalty to them, knowing that the mountain held treasures of all sorts. Their number and riches grew with time, until finally, House Sadon took control of the entire goldenfields of Renzivia. 
​

See @BalloonKing's Lore and read about Gaun. Everything else is literally there.
​

but for you lazy folk...
​

 
​

The land is rich in Corn, and herbs and spices due to it's rich golden lands. The tall mountains of Arryn provide them with gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, jewels beyond riches. The position of Gharvash, their citadel enables them to keep close control over the mountains and the sea; this lead to the expansion of their military forces, thus the Navy was made. 
​

 
​

House Rowan once had a neighboring House, a House of its own blood. Its ruler was young and foolish. It waged a war against them in the Nightale Woods; needless to say, they weren't victorious. It now lies in Gaun, nothing but rubble. House Rowan did not offer it's help.

ARTHUR ROWAN


THE THIRD OF HIS NAME




[SIZE=14.6667px]Age : [/SIZE]


42 years of age


[SIZE=14.6667px]Role : [/SIZE]


Lord of House Rowan; Lord of Gharvash


Ruler of Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Place of Origin : [/SIZE]


Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Bio :[/SIZE]


Arthur was the second of three brothers. He had no sisters. His older brother who was called Tharun was older by one year. By his younger brother who is called Peter, he had 4 more years than him. His father was a wise but greedy lord. His Pride knew no bounds. His mother, was tough but reserved. As he was growing up, his father always prized and adored Tharun, his mother loved the young and innocent Peter. Arthur, whose voice was never heard, grew up rather quickly. He developed a cunning personality. He learned to be manipulative, deceiving, absolutely dangerous. His words are a sweet as honey, but as deadly as poison. When he was 13, his brother started his lessons with Maester Gavin about being a lord, the traditions, the scriptures, the history and culture, the methods... but Arthur thought his brother wasn't giving it any effort. He felt that his brother was too entitled to his birthright that he simply didn't care if he did well or not. He felt that he was the rightful heir of their father. 


When he was 16, their father brought them along with him to a hunt. They were at the foot of the mountains when a boar attacked Tharun. Their father was in a different area, but his brother's screams could be heard. Arthur could have saved Tharun. But he let him die. And no one knows. 


Arthur, however, loved his brother despite being their mother's favorite. His father died at the age of 63. His mother, at 52.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Personality :[/SIZE]


Cunning. Deceitful. Manipulative. His words are as sweet as honey but as deadly as poison. One would find themselves wanting to be in his favor.


Arthur is greedy and selfish. His need for power and control can never be filled, but never in his life has he been controlled by desire. He's self-preservative. He's calculating. He never enters into things that are too risky for the prize he would attain.


As for the throne, he aims to take it and rule over all... the best prize of all.





Or he will die trying.





[SIZE=14.6667px]Magical Abilities (if any) :[/SIZE]

None. The lord leaves the tedious study of magic to his Maesters and Sanctums.

HEDWIG ROWAN




[SIZE=14.6667px]Age :[/SIZE]


20 years of age


[SIZE=14.6667px]Role :[/SIZE]


First born of Lord Arthur Rowan The Third of his Name


 Heir of House Rowan


[SIZE=14.6667px]Place of Origin : [/SIZE]


Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Bio :[/SIZE]


Born to a strict father and loving mother. Hedwig was bombarded with expectations. His entire future and self-being has been decided for him. From a very young age he understood that his father had plans for him and Gaun. Desperate to please his father, he did as he was told. He studied lordship, history, arts, literature, swordsmanship, and archery at the tender age of 8. The Maester was opposed to such drastic actions of his father, but Hedwig sided with his father despite yearning for his childhood. His father approved of his actions. He matured at a very young age, skipping his childhood entirely. He's conscious of all his actions and he knows how to take responsibility for them. He respects his sisters and loves them.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Personality :[/SIZE]


Deprived of his childhood, Hedwig developed a liking for riddles and games. Often he is seen, if not reading or sparring, playing a game by himself. He actively strives to be his father who he sees as perfection itself. There is no greater man than him. He developed a pride for his knowledge and skill, he developed a want for all things he doesn't have, but somehow, he cannot bring himself a desire for power.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Magical Abilities (if any) :[/SIZE]


None. The lord is still learning


[SIZE=14.6667px]Physical Skills :[/SIZE]


An excellent swordsman and archer.

19 years of age


[SIZE=14.6667px]Role :[/SIZE]


Second Born of Lord Arthur Rowan, the third


Precious Gem of Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Place of Origin : [/SIZE]


Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Bio :[/SIZE]


The middle child who rarely got attention. Her father treated her as his father treated him in hopes of having Seraphina develop the philosophy that he believes in. She wasn't heard. She wasn't listened to. Often, Hedwig would cheer her up from her glum mood, but to no avail. She craved for the approval and acceptance of her father, but he gave her none. She longed for the love of a mother, but she's already passed. Not understanding her father's actions, she rebelled. She took her studies lightly and actively disobeyed. But at the age of 13 when her shape became that of a woman, she'd tempt men into lusting over her. Often she'd talk with those who've experienced more, and she'd ask things that she shouldn't know. When she was 16, she bed her first man. The man taught her many things, and she loved him. When her father found out, he had the man killed. Seraphina hated her father more for this. She hasn't changed her ways.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Personality :[/SIZE]


Sweet and alluring. The Precious Gem of Gaun can wrap any man around her long and gentle fingers. She takes any man she wants and shoos them away when she gets bored of them. She loves being wanted, courted, and complimented. She delights in the attention that is showered to her by men. She no longer believes in love, as this was broken by her father many years ago. She's easily tired of things and sees things as temporary and fleeting. Her heart is full of lust and apathy. She's self-centered and cannot bring herself to cry for others.





The only comfort she knows is that of between man and woman





[SIZE=14.6667px]Magical Abilities (if any) :[/SIZE]

The Lady kissed by the sun


The Child born of Death


[SIZE=14.6667px]Place of Origin : [/SIZE]


Gaun


[SIZE=14.6667px]Bio :[/SIZE]


Her mother died before she could be born. The maester who delivered her cut her mother's womb open to pull her out. Her mother was already dead when they've done this. Every since then she was knows as The Child Born of Death. She was of her mother's likeness because of this, their father loved her the most. She was taken care of specially. The line was clear. Their father would always excuse that it's because of her poor health, but they all knew it to be false. With her frail body and shortness of breath, she could not play, she could not run, she could not move around for too much. She spent most of her times with Hedwig as children, reading with him, learning with him. She seldom went to her sister as she was afraid of her. Seraphina could often be too rowdy.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Personality :[/SIZE]


reserved, quiet, and calm. She's a gentle woman full of kindness and love. She's the only child of Rowan that didn't develop its greed and pride. Her paradigm has shifted to better things when she knew her condition and the weight of her own life. She's always smiling, it's rare for her to be seen sad or upset. She loves dancing, though she couldn't dance for long. She loves horseback riding. And she often sneaks to the stables to ride. She a hopeless-romantic that romanticizes almost everything about life.


[SIZE=14.6667px]Magical Abilities (if any) :[/SIZE]


None. The lady kissed by the sun cannot conjure magic, even if she spent her whole life trying.

I love how you made him out to be. Prideful and Greedy. Maybe you should have the Snake for your House Animal haha, seems to suit him. I think it's very like him to not waste his time with the tedious study of magic. That was smart. I also like how you put his aim. And those pictures! Beautiful.
