HOUSE ELLMONT OF RED RIDGE is a noble house established in the Westerlands. Red Ridge is located south of Lannisport, but still a great distance from Crakehall. It’s named for the lush Pomegrante trees that were once said to have decorated the ridge coating it red with how abundant the fruit was — but it has been centuries since a tree has even sprouted from the ground. Their house words are “Within, Glory”, though some have granted the House unofficial words — “Rotten Inside”.

Founded during the age of heroes, House Ellmont briefly ruled the Red Ridge as kings. This period was believed to be short, and they were soon overtaken by a Lannister king. They have remained loyal to the Lannisters since. They most notably served during the Reyne—Tarbeck Revolt in 261 A.C. This revolt was notable in the houses history as the actions of its heir at the time, Ser Gilles Ellmont, resulted in him being dismissed as heir, and the role being shifted to his younger brother, Arlyn Ellmont. Arlyn was known for his encouragement of Tywin’s actions at the time, and his own ruthlessness during the siege and fall of Tarbeck Hall and Castamere.

LADY YVAINE ARRYN OF THE VALE is the eldest daughter of Lord Jon Arryn and his only child born of his late lady wife, Lady Jeyne Royce.

Born in 274 A.C, Lady Yvaine was born upon the death of her mother in the birthing bed. Being Jon Arryn’s heir for most of her life and his only babe, Yvaine swiftly became the center of her father’s affections and attentions. He was known to dote upon her, taking her education and tutorship highly serious.

Despite what her upbringing lead her to believe, Yvaine would be succeeded as heir to the Eyrie in 292 A.C. upon the birth of her half brother, Lord Robert Arryn. Yvaine would be wed to a second Corbray son within the same year, and sent to reside in Heart’s Hall with him.

In 296 A.C, her husband, Ser Gawen Corbray, would succumb to illness and pass away, leaving her a widow at twenty-two years old. Despite insistences she return to the Eyrie and await a new match, Lady Yvaine was insistent that her place was at her father’s side in Kings Landing — where it had always truly been. She’d arrive in Kings Landing the same year, barely a moon after Gawen’s death.

Yvaine is often spoken of with a scoff in regards to her prim nature. A swift tongued woman, it is an ugly joke about the Red Keep her husband did not succumb of illness but rather could not tolerate another moment of her verbal lashings. It’s another common jest that she believes she is “her father with teats”, due to her constant persistence to insert herself into the business of her father, down to even awaiting him outside the council chambers during his long meetings with the small council.
