House Grandison of Grandview

[Lord Gareth Hightower]

House Name: House Grandison
Region: Stormlands
House Size: Medium House (250 points)

House Grandison of Grandview in the Dornish Marches is an old and proud house long tasked with driving back Dornish incursions into the Stormlands and mounting assaults of their own.

House History
House Grandison was one of the original marcher houses established by the Stormking to combat the Dornishmen. House Grandison lost much of its purpose but none of its pride or sense of duty when Dorne was brought into the Seven Kingdoms. Until recently, the Grandisons had always been staunch supporters of the Baratheons when they were on the throne and indeed were well rewarded with a Baratheon cousin in marriage to the last lord, Emmyn Grandison, father of the present Lord Edwyn.

Grandview is perched on a mountainside overlooking the delta of the Redstone River and Sea of Dorne coastline west of the river. It was an ideal location for spotting invading Dornish forces in the past. It serves the same purpose for spotting pirates and raiders now.

To the east and north-east, across the Redstone River are the lands of the Swanns of Stonehelm and the Morrigens of the Crows Nest.

Edwyn Grandison succeeded to Grandview at the age of 15 when his father Lord Emmyn was murdered at the instigation of his mother's lover Ser Rogar Morrigen. Grandview was ruled in young Edwyn's name by his mother and her paramour. The next year his mother and Morrigen arranged young Edwyn’s marriage to a daughter of House Swann to consolidate their own rule. Two years later, chafing at the control of the increasingly arrogant Ser Rogar and learning of a plot to kill him, the 18 year old Edwyn led a coup against Morrigen, whom he hanged, taking at last full control of his inheritance. Despite the traditional support of his House for House Baratheon, Edwyn had been disgruntled by their lack of support for his rightful claim. So in 506 when the Targaryens invaded, Lord Edwyn decided to repay the slight of twenty-five years before by not raising his forces and marching in support of the Baratheons. Despite his neutrality, Lord Edwyn was pragmatic enough to bend the knee to the new Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, Michael Dondarrion at the conclusion of the war. Physically, Lord Edwyn is an imposing man; at 6 feet 2 inches he towers over most of his contemporaries, and hence his epithet "the Tall". He also has a reputation for a fierce temper, and was , at least in the Stormlands, recognized as an able, determined soldier.

Warfare 82 (Strategy)
Stewardship 30 (Bargaining)

The eldest son of Lord Edwyn, Ser Eldon is known as ‘the Black Lion’, partly because of the black lion sigil of his house and partly because of the black armor he wears. Of dark complexion with jet black hair, reflecting his Baratheon and perhaps some distant Dornish ancestry, Eldon is the epitome of chivalry to those equal or better than him in status. A brilliant general and savage in general battle, he is greatly feared by the small folk, who he treats rather contemptuously.



Ser Renly Grandison of Grandview.
Combat 30 (Fighting (Sword)),
Cunning 15

Warfare 67 (Endurance)
Stewardship 60 (Business)

Like most of his family, Renly was athletic and tall. Like most of his near relatives he was dark haired and of dark complexion. He was also intelligent and well read. Though not as able a warrior like his father and brother, Renly nevertheless still enjoys more martial pursuits such as hunting. Renly is renowned amongst his family as the most level-headed and pragmatic of his hot-headed family and his father defers to him in some matters of business. He also is often sent on diplomatic missions to neighboring lords or to parley with local and foreign merchants.
