Welcome Elane!

[Lilith Royce]

Glad to have you in the family! We usually do general chat in Greetings Kinsmen and then specific topic chatting in other places (but always chatting interspersed!)

[Lilith Royce]

Nice to have a raven expert around as well...currently Breyn is in Runeston, Rhodri and I are in Kings Landing and Sara is in Casterly Rock (disguised although given her wedding is coming up, I'm not sure how long that will last). We need some help with communications! Also good to know that you have good mountain clan contacts.

[eytank49752]

Welcome indeed. Feel free to chat. If you look, you'll see there are more posts in House Royce than in the other three houses combined. We're a chatty family.

Ah, it's quite complicated.
I stowed away in Lilith and Rhodri's ship when they went to Kings Landing and so I ended up disguised so Rhodri wouldn't send me back. By the time he realised I was there and I realised he didn't actually care, he was getting married and Breyn had turned up for the feast, as the new Lord of Runestone after our father died. There was no way on Earth, Breyn was going to let me stay so I stayed hidden. Then the civil war broke out and I found out I was supposed to marry Allard Lannister whose almost-cousin I was friends with. From that I knew he was a complete anti-social, idiot, so I wasn't very happy. I helped Lilith smuggle Lord Baldwin's kids back to Casterly Rock, still disguised, so I could basically wait and hope dear Allard died before the wedding could come off. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting though the way people are being killed off at the minute I'm still hopeful...

Basically, I hate his guts and really don't want to marry him. ;D

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

To clarify, Lilith: Rhodri is in the newly captured Horn Hill in the southern Reach. Selwyn is in KL.

[Lilith Royce]

We do get around, us Royces! And how could I have forgotten Jon doing all that raping and pillaging in Rose territory--Auntie Lilith does not approve of such bestial brutality, for one thing, you are liable to end up with the dagger of an aggreived party in the back, and then we'd miss you and have to go into deep mourning and such

[sara]

Argh! Not deep mourning! No, anything but that, black does not go with my comlexion at all!! Jon, if you die on one of these raids I will... no, wait a second your already dead... I'll think of something bad to punish you with!

[eytank49752]

Yeah Jon, I'm with everyone else. Don't die.

[mohi13]

Thanks for the thoughts everyone, but us cliched impetuous youths have only two roads in life; dying horribly as a morality tale against fool hardiness, or rising above ourselves to become legendary warriors in our middle age giving advice to the new generation of young idiots

Oh, and welcome to House Royce, Elane.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

I'm thinking I like this Aranya Stone. Bastard girls are fun...

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Good thing that even with the same last name, they're not related.

Elane is from, or lived at, the Bloody Gate, right? That's where Selwyn lived when Lady Royce sent him away.

I've only just started using Selwyn now that Rhodri is in such an obscure location. I'll have to remember to make him interesting enough to justify...her interest.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Elane, out of curiosity, are you a board member over at asoiaf.westeros.org?

[Lilith Royce]

I've been wondering who has an ASOIAF alt...I know me 'n Rhoddie do, and Crakehall, does, doesn't he?

[The Smith]

But of course, how else would you have found this site? :-P

[Lilith Royce]

*Lilith blows Crake a kiss*

{Will also admit I am amused at how very different Lilith Royce is from Lilith of Tarth, my ASOIAF alt }
