Quentyn Yronwood

Quentyn Yronwood is the eldest child of Lady Ashira Yronwood and her husband Lysono Drahar. He is the twin of Myles Yronwood, his heir and best friend. He currently serves as the Lord of Yronwood and the Warden of the Stone Way. His preferred title is The Bloodroyal.

Appearance and Character
Quentyn is the picture of Stoney Dornishmen, a tall man with dazzling blue eyes and a head of blond hair. He chooses to keep said hair cut short, as it is easier to manage while wearing a helm. He wears chain mail with a red cloak, the left shoulder bearing the sigil of House Yronwood. He is a man of many words, most of them honeyed. He is at home in silks as he is on the battlefield. A strong man, he wields a two-handed great-axe into battle rather than a standard weapon.

Early Life
Quentyn was raised by his mother first and his father second. It was always expected he would be their heir as he had come ten minutes before his younger twin Myles. The two looked opposite of one another, Quentyn was the picture of House Yronwood. Tall, blond, muscular. Where Myles looked closer to his father, darker hair along with a more lithe build. The man could hold his own in a fight, but not on the level of his brother.

Quentyn and Myles were inseparable their entire childhood. The birth was hard upon their mother, and thus they were the only two children until their eighth name day. Myles took to books while Quentyn took to the yard. Each excelling in their chosen hobbies and helping the other to appear as competent as the other in the others'.

Adolescense
With every passing day, it was more clear that Quentyn would lead armies and strike men down, his brother's assistance had sharpened his tactical mind and his own work in the yard had made him one of the fiercest fighters the House of Yronwood had seen in a long time. It was here that Myles and Quentyn began to separate. When rumors of the clashes between faiths became more prevalent, it was clear to Quentyn that the Faith of the Seven had the right of it. R'hllorites were hardly the kind souls the Martells insisted they were. Myles thought differently.

War of Stone and Sky
While Myles was content to be sent to Myr, Quentyn argued with his mother for days on end. He was a warrior and if House Yronwood was to be fighting, he would be there. She would not have it, and he was sent away regardless of his wishes. It was that moment he began to feel spite for his mother that didn't end until her passing.

His life in Myr was spent training harder, he hardly spoke to his brother for the first time in their lives. His father sent missives asking for updates on their lives, each was burned by Quentyn before any of his siblings had a chance to read them.

When the summons finally came to return home, it was to a funeral. His father had passed betraying the Vulture King. It seemed he had no honor after all, and Quentyn was more resolute in his hatred of the Red Faith.

He and his mother did not reconcile until shortly before she fell into her coma in the later years.

The Regent of the Pass
When his mother fell into her coma, Quentyn took over ruling his House's lands. While much of the menial tasks fell to Myles, the two of them since having settled their differences after returning to Myr. Quentyn acted as the face, while Myles, the brain. The two of them ruled in their mother's stead, until she finally passed in the first moon of 439 AC. Quentyn ascended as the Lord of Yronwood, his brother his heir.

The Bloodroyal
When he ascended to the Lordship of Yronwood, Quentyn accepted the titles traditional to their house, he took particular pride in The Bloodryoal. His family was at one point Kings in their own right, and the Martells had agreed to allow them to keep their title, as long as they lost all royal titles besides it. Thus he viewed it as the assurity that Yronwood was the second house in Dorne, regardless of others who claimed to be such.
