Ranly I Ranly Sharp was always a big man, A trait most Sharp had, But Ranly was really big. Done up like a maidens fancy he towered over all men. Nearly 22 stone(308 pounds) most of it muscle. He also stood nearly seven foot. Carrying the Black hair of the Baratheons. A long beard reaches his chest and his hair to his neck. For the most part he grew up with his brother Verathoc, who is 2 years older. In the town of Sharp point. His father was a lesser lord who remained a lesser lord because he had no ambition. He also had a older brother Bryne who was nearly 12 years older than him. His younger sister Lolita who is 20. Out of his whole family he and Verathoc are the closest. For most of their youth Verathoc was the planer of them the thinker. When a plan was made Ranly could fill it out using his size and strength for the most part. Ranly expected the same life as his father a simple lordship of a small hold fast. However one day a raven came and it seemed a Arryn woman was widowed and she needed a new husband. His father would have refused but Verathoc convinced the old lord to marry his son off. Thus the Arryn woman Lysa Yohn traveled south and the wedding was arranged. Lysa Yohn was a lady of reputable power and by marrying Ranly he would gain that power to. She is about 33. She looks like the Echo of her youth more mature and even pretty with brown hair and doe eyes. After a few weeks they had been wedded and now Ranly stands with all her Arryn influence. Like the lords of Baratheon of old he has taken the title The Storm lord of the Mistwood. Edited by Chugman, Apr 15 2008, 08:52 AM.

Ranly II Heavy armor creaked as Ranly walked among his men who were huddled around camp fires cooking their meals. The walls of Nightsong stood before his army and their way into Dorne. The walls of the city were built in the form of a Pyramid odd as that is, Ranly could see how they were still built with a tactical mind. What shocked him most though was, that all the land around the city had been striped bare of life. This normally would be rough but fresh resources were coming in daily but the men inside the city were not as lucky. Soon this siege would break them and Ranly would take the city and then Dorne. Ranly had never thought of war with the Dornish lords but when they began to expand northwards and attack the cities of the reach he had to act and fight with one side or the other or his city of Mistwood would fall to the winner of the conflict. Also the fact that Highgarden was an ally of Verothic his brother convinced Ranly to fight the Dornish princes. A young officer asked form his camp fire"Sir what do you think will happen when we attack Dorne?" Ranly looks over and says" We will bring the thunder and the lighting with hammer and ax and rip fat princes form their thrones." |

Ranly III Nightsong had fallen. The gate had been breached and Ranly him self had lead the charge through it. Nightsong's defenders had fought for a day and a half. Calloduse had even held his inner keep for two more days after the city's fall. But that is all over. Calloduse and what few good men of his that are left are saddling horses and preparing to go to Dorne. His people had been given over to Ranly and his city, for his safe passage and any man who was loyal to him could leave to. Ranly did not take cites to burn them and pillage he wanted a nation and to make a nation you need to have something to build off of. "Captain take him to the mountains of Dorne and let him go to his allies." Jason looked over stunned "Just like that ser?" Ranly looked back at Calloduse and said"Just like that." Ranly him self rained his own horse and gathered 15 of his best men to ride to this grand council. |

Ranly IV Ranly rode home after the Tourney. He rode home the victor he rode home a warlord. He had taken Nightsong and Blackmont and now he had rode against the best knights in the land and won. Ranly the Shield Breaker some called him, Lance Smasher and Wall taker were some of the names they called out as he walked the streets of Mistwood. He walked and prepared for more war should the need arise. The grand council had taken a long time and was still going on. But for now. Ranly planed on heading south to secure his hold on Blackmont and then maybe march on. |
