Olyvar Yronwood

Olyvar Yronwood is the first child of Lady Ashira Yronwood and her late husband, Lysono Drahar. He has become the regent of Yronwood after his mother fell into a coma following a hawking accident. Due to his Myrish roots, he speaks both Westerosi and Myrish.

Appearance and Character
Olyvar, although an Yronwood, takes his looks more from his Myrish father, with dark hair and dark skin. The only thing resembling his mother are the blue-grey eyes he inherited from his mother. Standing at 6'1, he is a muscular but slender young man of 19.

Olyvar is a mistrustful, suspicious man, who has grown up hearing noblemen and noblewomen from around Dorne calling his mother the slattern of Laenor Targaryen. He loves his family much, but resents those who have wronged his mother. A man of military learning, he has studied all forms of battle and battlefields, and has trained himself in the use of the spear.

Olyvar can be very belligerent, but is otherwise informed of his duty towards Yronwood and his family.

History
Olyvar was born at Yronwood in 419 AC to Ashira Yronwood and her Myrish husband Lysono Drahar, the first Yronwood born in almost three decades. Receiving an education worthy of an Yronwood heir, he had always had an ingrained knack for military matters, and his mother soon discovered this. Shortly before Ysilla Dayne's death, Olyvar visited her along with his mother and his siblings at Starfall.

As a young child, he often visited Myr to see his father's relatives along with his younger siblings. One day, at the age of 10 and during a visit of Lord Wyl, he heard one of Lord Wyl's men call his mother the slattern of Laenor Targaryen, he started to hit the man, but was easily shoved aside by the man-at-arms easily. After he asked his mother about this, she told him the story of the shaming of Yronwood. From that day onward, Olyvar Yronwood was determined to right the wrongs done to his mother, and only studied harder. During the visit of Lord Wyl, he also met Andros Fowler, the then heir to Skyreach.

At the age of 15, he and his siblings were sent to the Free City of Myr. His mother explained that while his siblings would be fostered there, he would start his tour of the Free Cities prematurely. Unbeknownst to him, Lady Ashira just joined the War of Stone and Sky against House Martell, and wanted to spare her children her own fate in the case of Yronwood being destroyed once again. While his siblings rested in Myr, he toured the Free Cities, visiting all Free Cities and seeing their wonders. By the time he returned to Myr and then was bid to return home, he found that his father died during the War of Stone and Sky, not at the hands of the Martells, their opponents, but of Tommen Blackmont, their supposed ally. While his mother told him to let it go, as his death came through a deal with Trystane Martell to betray the Vulture King, Olyvar was angry and refused to speak with her for a full week before reconciliating with his mother.

After squiring for Archibald Drinkwater, the Knight of Yronwood, Olyvar has refused the spurs of knighthood, preferring to remain a simple warrior. He would further invest himself in matters of statecraft and intrigue, but was seldom seen in a Sept. When rumours emerged that he must worship the Red God, he held a speech in Yronwood denying these allegations, saying that he is faithful, regardless of his refusal of knighthood.

After his mother Ashira fell into a coma after being thrown off a horse while hawking in the high in House Yronwood's meadows, Olyvar took the burden of ruling the lands of House Yronwood as regent, while his mother lies on the brink between life and death.
