The year is 286 AC. King Jaehaerys II has just passed, leaving the throne without a rightful ruler. While his three children fight for the crown, Winter creeps closer, and unimaginable darkness looms.
Not all alliances will be so typical this time. In fact, many people have a crucial effect on the way this story is told. As for the ending, we only hope there are enough people left alive to tell it after its passed.
Events
Join us for our first event, the wake of recently deceased King Jaehaerys II.
Updates
AUG. 19: So we are now officially open to the public. We have a mini-event flashback thread going on, and our main event just began. Feel free to make a second canon if you can keep both of them active enough.
Don't hesitate in pestering staff with questions; it's what we're here for! Let's raise a glass and make a cheer toward a successful launch of Winds of Winter.

EIRIAN GREYJOY
FEMALE -- EIGHTEEN -- HETEROSEXUAL -- AVAILABLE -- FOURTHBORN
CURRENTLY BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE SEALORD DAMIEN "LEVIATHAN" NAHARIS
All PRESENT threads take place in Essos - All threads in Westeros are set in the PAST.
LIKESHIPS
As a child of the Greyjoy family, friends with the other families are not very common - especially given the Greyjoy nature does run strongly in Eirian. Faithful to the Drowned God and believing that she has every right to take whatever she wants or needs, she's not the most popular girl around. However, Eirian, when in casual social settings, is actually quite a delight to speak to. She's outgoing and outspoken, happy to chat with just about anyone about anything. Without knowing what her last name is, and the true depth of her nature, she'd probably be able to be friend many people with ease. For those willing to look past her family and rough edges, she's pleasant company for even servants that she treats well - when they behave of course.
HATESHIPS
She is a child of Greyjoy and with that name alone, she has many enemies and rivals. It may not be personal resentment, but the weight of her name comes with a heavy burden regardless. This isn't to say she doesn't deserve being hated though, as Eirian is by far not someone everyone could easily get along with. Arrogant and dedicated to what she was raised to believe, she views herself typically as superior to those around her - even if she has a brain injury that leaves a glaring flaw in her 'mightier-than-thou' attitude. The young woman is also a lover of conflict and danger, often getting excited by it rather than frightened. Despite her short temper, she seems to just love challenges, even to the points where some might question the young Greyjoy's sanity. She's relentless and sadistic in battle, great for anyone who'd like a battle partner that didn't hold back.
LOVESHIPS
Knowing her position as the youngest lady of the current Greyjoy generation, Eirian does not bother to pursue romance at all. She knows her husband will undoubtedly be chosen for her. She doesn't care much for romance, much more interested in fighting than courtship. However, that isn't to say a man shouldn't try and tame the little beast, all pursuits or offers are welcomed. Despite coming from a family of pillagers and fighters, Eirian is - surprisingly - a very small and petite girl, she's commonly mistaken for being younger than her actual age.

As the youngest of her siblings, Eirian is in a position to garner Katsa's protection and affection, if only simply because she is family. But the age gape between them is quite vast. Indeed, by the time Eirian was born Katsa had already been made a princess of Dorne, more-so she had given birth to two children of her own. It's quite difficult for Kat to see Eirian as anything other than a child. Distance between them is inevitable. Yet, she isn't cool and dismissive towards Eirian. Rather, she would be a figure of support, especially if Eirian sought a less-traditional path as Katsa had, years before Eirian's birth. Lessons in swordplay. Lessons in seafaring. If Eirian were to voice an interest, Katsa wouldn't deny her a lesson. As few as they would have to be, for the years had seen the Cat's appearance within the Iron Islands growing sparser. Correspondence via ravens would likely be their primary source of communication, though Eirian would always be welcomed in Dorne.

Eirian is probably right up her sister's alley in terms of being less traditional than the dainty lady. She loves swordplay, adventure, and exploration, and wastes little time concerning herself with feminine tasks or romance since she knows what her fate is regardless of what she does.
I wouldn't be surprised if she heard tales of Kat's exploits and eagerly asked her to know more about such things, like the swordplay and seafaring you mentioned, since her youth. She'd use Ravens to keep in contact no doubt and take advantage of any trip to visit Kat.
I can imagine that these two would get along exceptionally well really, since Eirian is quite similar to her. Kat would be like her role model, really, and her admiration wouldn't really be a secret since Eirian is a rather forward person. Even if she is viewed as just a child, it wouldn't necessarily bother her too much since, as the baby of the Tamil, she's pretty much used to it and kind of takes advantage of this fact.
Sorry for the ugly / sloppy response, I'm typing this in the car on my phone. I would be interested in a thread of either Eirian visiting her sister or maybe we can just write their letters back and forth? I don't mind who starts it, though I will be slow for a while.
