Nymor Yronwood

Nymor Yronwood was the Lord of Yronwood from 401 AC until his death in 407 AC. The first child of Lord Ormond Yronwood and his wife, Ysilla Dayne, Nymor was a charismatic man, but he would become known as the Lord That Never Was, after Laenor Targaryen slew him in 407 AC.

Appearance and Character
Nymor Yronwood beared the typical Yronwood traits of blue eyes, but inherited his mother's dark hair, which gave him a queer intense look.

History
Nymor was born in the year 386 to Lord Ormond Yronwood and Lady Yssila Dayne. Lord Ormond has had several children in the previous years, but they all turned out to be stillborn, and Nymor was greatly treasured by the lord when he was born healthy.

Four years later, his younger sister, Ashira, followed. Though his relationship with the girl was strained, Nymor found many an hour to read to the young woman, regaling her tails of the far east as much as her mother would the north.

Nymor was a great favourite to both his parents and his grandfather, Lord Yorick, as he was his only grandson. Nymor served as cupbearer to his grandfather for many years, and listened as Lord Yorick ruled. It is rumored that Nymor was proposed to Lord Martell to be his ward, but was rejected, creating a rift between the houses.

The child showed an early talent for archery and swordplay. Earning his knights spurs at the age of eighteen, Nymor was a bright young man, learned and capable. He took quickly to many a lady's maid, bedding them and courting them openly.

Despite himself, Nymor fathered no bastards. In The Chronicles of Yronwood, a small memoir written by the Lady Ashira, it is stated that Nymor had no love nor want to sire bastard children. "Save it for my wife," he'd often say, but all the same, he would take no wife - not until the year 407.

There, he looked to better the future of House Yronwood.

Recent Events
Such was not to be, however. Call it fate, or call it the whims of madmen, the Maesters of both Sunspear and Yronwood agree that Nymor's lordship was short-lived, ill-fated, and uncertain in the moons following his death.

Early in the days before the Tournament at Harrenhal in 407 AC, Nymor managed to secure a betrothal to one of Loreon Lannister's grand-nieces. Lady Lysa, she was called, so tall and beautiful that Nymor took to her immediately.

They were wed in Casterly Rock in the following moons, and when Nymor returned to Yronwood, he was regaled with terrible news of his uncle, Brynden's, misdeeds.

When word reached Laenor Targaryen, Prince-Consort of Dorne, the man sent a warning to Yronwood. Lord Brynden had attempted to stir the men of Dorne against their rightful liege, and it was to this end that Lord Nymor immediately executed his uncle, and sent his head to Sunspear.

The threatening letter was not all, however, for the skies blackened in the following days. Atop the back of Starfyre, Laenor Targaryen came with a vengeance upon House Yronwood.

Starfyre destroyed Yronwood's garrison, but it was said that Nymor stood tall amidst the brunt of it, and stared the Targaryen princeling in the eyes as he took to his bow, to presumably end the life of the Prince-Consort. Such attempt proved as ill-fated as his lordship, and Nymor died not moments later to wounds suffered by Starfyre's incredible heat.

Ashira Yronwood inherited House Yronwood after him, but not all would be well within the House. For years, the Yronwoods would struggle to reclaim their glory, until the year 418 AC...
