Trystane Qorgyle

Lord Trystane Qorgyle was the first son of the late Lord Mors Qorgyle and his wife Lady Dyanna Toland. Though he was raised to worship the red god, he is not an overly religious individual and often succumbs to a variety of vices. Though he had planned to tour Dorne, and perhaps venture further into the free cities, his plans were cut short when his father was stung by a scorpion in a hunt and passed away.

He has seemingly took his father's death to heart, and struggles in his ascent to his lordship.

Appearance and Character
As a child, with a brother two years younger than him. He often fought with his brother, other petty disturbances, and despite the love that the duo share, and the comfort they offered one another and their mother upon his passing, the brothers are known for their squabbles, and their father once jested that they fought like two Mastiff's over a bone, something that Trystane took to heart, and upon turning sixteen years of age, he bought a litter of pups, large mongrels born to a Mastiff and raised them, with affinity yet sterness.

Though he seems to have a crueller side to him, and punishes thieves by setting his hounds on them, to satisfy their blood lust, and perhaps theirs, though in a strange way - he never seems to set his wrath upon those who do not truly deserve it, and at times, has exercised great mercy. Some goalers jest that Trystane must flip a coin when he decides that punishment he'd exercise.

Physically, Trystane is fit. Though he is more agile than he is strong. Despite not being overly muscular, he had displayed a prowess in unarmed combat, and though he fought many a squabble and scrap with knights, cousins and smallfolk alike - his father noticed that he displayed something special, and had him focusing upon fighting with his fists more so than with a sword, which in the future, led him to focus upon a spear instead.

The kennels of House Qorgyle are often full, as he has taken an interest in breeding hounds, self-dubbed "Desert Beasts", huge Mastiffs with sand alike coats, and strong jaws; with a fierce reputation among the local populace.

The Baby Scorpion: (398-408)
His father had grand plans for his house, that involved peacefully bringing House Qorgyle to prosperity, his own match with House Toland amongst them. Though he wanted to maintain warm and strong relations with his liege, he also wanted to do what his own father failed to do and reach out to the rest of Dorne, and Westeros. Though he was a spoilt babe, as other children came to be, he was not forgotten about, but treated as a older child often was, and at the young age of eight, he was sent away as a ward and a squire to his kinsman of House Toland.

Shy and out of his element, he came to make many friends, it was in the Ghost Hill where he met Teora Toland; whom he had became extremely smitten with, an affection that remains the same to the present day. In a squiring incident, he received his first and only scar, a large gash running upside his mark, from where his opponent had accidentally struck him a league too hard.

Though he did not face the worst of the Scarlet Winter, he was also too young to fight in the Murmer's war, a war in which House Qorgyle stood true to House Uller and Dorne; and had been lucky enough to survive the war unscathed and unmolested, unlike their distant neighbours, the Yronwoods.

He did not attend the tournament of Harrenhall.

The Scorpion of The Sandstone (409-418)
Though as he grew older, his affections for his cousin and friend, Teora Toland grew, and though they were always warm and close, Trystane did not want to disrespect nor dishonour her, and always remained cordial and respectful, despite his strong feelings for her, though the duties of an elder squire took him elsewhere, and more often than not, he was out on the road beneath his tutor, Olyvar Toland.

For no reason other than fate, Trystane developed an affinity for a spear over a sword, whether it be on horse, or on-foot, believing that it allowed him to be quicker and fasting in his movements and mannerisms. Though he has brought no great honour upon his house, he has won a handful of local and petty tournaments.

During the plague of (412), Trystane returned to the Sandstone ever so briefly when he had taken ill - but, by pure coincidence, it was not the plague that had sickened him, but a rather violent case of food poisoning inflicted by some bad stew. His uncle, Nymor Qorgyle however, and his line, of two baseborn daughters were not so lucky, and perished in quarantine. During the plague, his father had ordered the sick isolated, which lead to multiple violent skirmishes between House Qorgyle and her small-folk, in which Trystane himself had taken part. Though he never killed a man in the fighting, he witnessed his father sentence the leaders to the wall; which Trystane had deemed too kind of a punishment.

Recently, Trystane learnt of his fathers death, and despite the duo not being so close due to his upbringing elsewhere, Trystane is distraught and plans to honour his father with a funeral worthy of a man of his station.
