Ah so there still a Lady Blackbury.
What family did she come from?
Also for the area we're in the only other family we have to worry about is the Hightower family. For our area they are the most powerful family.

The most pious degenerate gambler you ever met has chimed in :-)

Brydan Blackbury |

The fact that people take my word as law....I feel empowered!
Never listen to my demands! Unless I win an argument.

Oooh! Good wood choice.
Wait! Stop plotting for my character's demise! XD
Dennith Blackbury |

Ash. Polished. No symbol and iron handles and feet please.

Ser Weyland Wylde |

Weyland will fade away and ascend because he's so damn Holy!
I am now done, I could afford Sword and Armor and now I am 100% broke. Fits the character :-)
DM, let me know who his sponsor would be.

Athera Dayne |

Um... they aren't normally muscled either. They fight fast and deadly, not smash smash...

Brydan Blackbury |

Hmm....maybe go for a Dornish wife....that might be fun Roleplay wise.
Also....Tempest is gonna get fat!!!!
Least the 'castle' is probably free of rats.

Dornish wife huh?
Nah shall cool! ^_^ Athera will walk her for ya!

Dennith Blackbury |

In fact you can skip the coffin and feed me to the wolves if you wish. No need to waste the wood.

Ser Weyland Wylde |

I just spent 16 minutes writing my background and lost it....
I'll rewrite it tomorrow. Ugh!

Ser Weyland Wylde |

This is why I use a notepad then transfer.
I usually place things in Word then transfer but I was not planning on writing it then I picked up steam with the outline then being tired and all I forgot what happens when you don't save things and blam...

Dennith Blackbury |

I write everything on Google drive. Saves everything automatically.

So I did some more digging into the first Blackfyre rebellion, and I have good news! While the majority of the Reach sided with the Blackfyres, two prominent families did not! Those being the Hightowers, and even better the Tyrells. So while most of the other families of the Reach look down upon the Blackbury family for the fact they didn't kill Athera, no one will say a damn thing while either of those families are around. I mean the Hightowers own Old Town, and the Tyrells own the Reach itself.
However the only houses I know with 7 status are Arryn, Stark, Baratheon, and Lannistar. (No Targaryen because they are in a class of their own.)

Athera Dayne |

I have nothing to prove! XD
I'm a Dayne, exotic Dornish woman of untold beauty and compelling charisma! So naturally I'm just better all around! XD
Yeah Athera will never be caught saying this, doesn't mean she doesn't think it! Lol!

Ser Weyland Wylde |

Traitor here but I am a good boy now... :-)

Athera Dayne |

Lol, prove what? Athera cannot take part in the tourney unless they have a poetry or musical part involved. Which I will point out Athera sings and plays the harp, but I had no idea what that fell under... I figured it was just under the charm skill! XD
The only other thing would be to seduce a Targaryen, but they're all married! Or too young... Wait... Is Daeron's son Baelor married yet... To google!

Athera Dayne |

So it doesn't give me when he married the woman history says was his wife, but seeing as he'd be 30 in 200 AC, I'm fairly sure they're already married. Plus it says his eldest son by her was born around 183 AC to 193 AC. They aren't sure...
So he might still be single, but his father sure as hell isn't.
And no, Athera maybe Dornish and believe that everyone has a right to lovers if they didn't marry for love, but she wouldn't break a marriage.
Though to be honest her sights are lower then a Targaryen, if one takes an interest in her there isn't much she can do about that, but I don't see her going after a Targaryen.
Edit: Also Baelor's brother, Maekar, is married to a Dayne! So she already has marital ties to House Targaryen. However according to history, she will die in a years time.
Did more reading into Maekar's wife, Dyanna Dayne, with the age she was she's most likely Athera's Aunt.

Athera Dayne |

I would maybe put them close to a 7, though people think they are closer to a 6. Tyrell's motto is Growing strong, which they show a lot through how they act in history. They gather things and wait. So they most likely have as much coin as the Lannisters, just most don't know it. After all, over 70% of the crops eaten come from the Reach, that is massive export!
The Hightowers I would say are about a 5, maybe a 6 but on the lower end of 6.

Marcus Grimwood |

Hm, I would see that Olivia Tyrell would have a quite strong hand here (considering the time she should be in her younger years now).
Status wise in the end of 5, knocking 6 I guess. But as you said Athera, they have a huge impact on whole Westeros so they do have much to say in politics.
Its shame that Influence cant affect so much here in its intended way.
Even the Banner House... is kinda lacking huoh. 7 Influence ... huoh.
Actually, what is my Status here? Went back and saw that I did roll 4 for Status but realistically it should be 3 (maybe even 2) but then... whole politics are just kinda crazy.
