who: @steelandfrost what: in the dark of night domeric returns to the dreadfort to gather important things and his mother. when: before domeric goes to the vale

In the heart of the Dreadfort, Domeric's solar was a haunting contradiction. Despite its name, the room was a dark, foreboding space. High, arched windows obscured by heavy crimson and black draperies, and the air carries a faint scent of aged wood and iron. A massive fireplace dominates one wall, its hearth cold and empty, surrounded by relics of House Bolton’s grim history. The shadow of the now former Master of Coin for the King of North danced across the walls.

At the center, a large mahogany table is strewn with maps and parchments, a hub of strategy and control. Some of the scrolls haphazardly thrown into a bag. Even as the light struggled to penetrate the pervasive gloom, the feeling of urgency. A man of calm, on edge and caught off guard by the door opening.

He turned and faced his brother. Edrick Bolton. Of his brothers he'd been Domeric's favorite over the years. The only one Domeric trusted enough with the secrets of his trade. But not enough with his greatest secret. His greatest secret spreading across the North like wildfire.

"What are you doing?" He asked with a calmness, skilled at hiding the true feelings underneath it all. Would this be the day brothers would raise their swords? Would they dance about the solar until the crescendo of steel piercing flesh? Domeric left the north a Bolton and would flee a Stone. A bastard.

"You shouldn't be here."

who: @steelandfrost context: i dont fuck with you by big sean

nasir manderly stepped onto the cold, wind-swept grounds of winterfell, the chill biting through his cloak as his boots sank slightly into the snow. the north had a way of making even the most hardened men pause, as if its vastness demanded respect. yet nasir was not here to admire the landscape; he was here to face edrick bolton. he had heard of edrick's opposition to the changes he had been pushing for in the north—an opposition that ran deep and stubborn as the roots of the weirwoods themselves.

nasir, ever the pragmatist, preferred to avoid unnecessary confrontations, but there were times when one had no choice but to speak, even with men like edrick.

the halls of winterfell seemed to swallow sound as nasir made his way through them, the stone walls thick with centuries of history. he could feel the weight of those who had come before him pressing down, their presence still palpable, even if just in memory. it was in these moments that he felt the full depth of the divide between himself and the northern lords—men like edrick bolton, who clung to the old ways with the fervor of a man holding onto the last thread of something dear.

"lord bolton," nasir began, his voice cutting through the quiet like a blade through thick cloth. there was no greeting, no niceties—just the directness that came from being a man of action. the memories of the recent great northern war came to mind, in which a certain bolton bastard fanned the flames of the border disputes between the manderlys and the boltons to the point where it ended in bloodshed and carnage. he simply stared at the man, as if to tell him he had not forgotten. he paused for a moment, the firelight flickering across his face, casting shadows on his sharp features.

"but i’m not here to argue about the past. i’m here because you and i both know the north cannot remain as it is. not forever." he leaned forward, his voice low but insistent. "i don’t expect you to agree with me. i don’t expect you to like it. but the north—your north—is being left behind. i’ve seen it. we have seen it. the rest of the realm is moving forward, and if the north wants to stand with them, we cannot afford to be stuck in the same old ways."

brandon leaned back in his chair, the firelight casting sharp shadows across his face as he studied edrick. the bolton lord spoke with the precision of a blade, each word crafted to provoke, to prod at the fractures in his loyalty. but brandon was not so easily swayed. his grey eyes, cold as the karhold winters, met edrick’s sharp gaze without flinching. “aye,” he said, his voice low, the northern accent thickening with the weight of his words, “ye’re clever, bolton. always were, i reckon. clever enough to know a man like me don’t care for flowery words or talk o’ daggers. but ye’re still missin’ the mark, man.”

he shifted in his seat, the leather creaking under his weight as he leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. “let’s set somethin’ straight, aye? the king’s ear? i don’t hold it. never will. reckon owen stark listens to his own counsel more’n any man alive, and if ye think he’d bow his head to me or any other, ye’ve been drinkin’ more’n yer share of winterfell’s mead.” brandon’s lips turned downward, a clear sign of his displeasure. “ye think i’d use that for yer ‘true north’? ye think i’d lend my name—karhold’s name—to a cause that’d splinter the north clean in two?” he straightened, his voice gaining a harder edge as he continued.

“the north’s bled enough, bolton. ye talk o’ stubbornness and pride like they’re virtues, but i’ve seen where they lead. graves, that’s where. rows and rows of ‘em, with lads too young to hold a blade buried in frost they’ll never thaw from. and all for what? to prove we’re unbroken? unbent? i’ll tell ye somethin’—the north don’t need provin’. it needs rebuildin’. he stood then, towering over edrick for a moment before he walked to take a hold of another drink, the furs on his shoulders brushing against the air heavy with the scent of firewood and whiskey. “as for them gods and southern alliances ye sneer at, i’ll say this: the north’s never been stronger than when it’s had a hand steadyin’ it. whether it’s stark, manderly, or any other house, it’s unity that’s kept the wolves from our door.”

brandon’s gaze bore into edrick’s, unyielding. “so no, i won’t join ye. i won’t stand with ye, and i won’t let karhold be the spark that lights the fire ye’re so eager to stoke. the north’s my home, aye, but i’ll not see it burn just to keep yer pride warm.” with that, he stepped away, the echo of his boots on stone punctuating his final words. “find another fool to hold yer banner, bolton. i’ve no interest in yer war that ya seem to want to stoke.” he looked upon edrick's face there, knowing he agreed with him. agreed with him wholeheartedly, but the method...the execution of it all, would lead to more execution. he was sure of it.

"take a day of rest, for the sake of all of us. you boltons never know when to stop."

edrick studied brandon, the flicker of firelight casting long shadows across the lines of the karstark’s face. he allowed a moment of silence to linger, his calculating mind weighing the words he would offer against the steadfast man before him. he knew the man's loyalty to the north was beyond reproach, and that loyalty extended to the king. but loyalty and blind faith were not the same, and edrick aimed to test the difference.

the lord's lips twitched into a wry smile at brandon’s sharp remark. “indeed, the boltons know a thing or two about standing in rooms full of daggers. we’ve survived by knowing when to wield one and when to dodge one, at least those of us smart enough to know where we should stand.”

the fire crackled in the silence that followed, edrick letting the warmth settle over them, though it did little to melt the frost of mistrust between their houses. he studied the man, noting the steel in his posture, the wariness in his eyes. it wasn’t surprising, loyalty to house stark had cost the karstarks dearly before, and the whispers of discord between the former hand and his king only added to the intrigue.

“aye, karhold’s blood has run deep for the north,” edrick began, his voice quiet but deliberate, carrying an edge of steel beneath its calm. “and it’s that blood that makes you the man every lord in this hall watches. they may not say it outright, but they’ll follow where you tread, even if it’s to the gates of the dreadfort itself.”

he allowed himself a faint, bitter smirk. “and the king? if anyone holds his ear, it’s you. the rest of us? our voices are just echoes in Winterfell’s stone, swallowed up before they can reach him. but you? if the king hears a karstark and still chooses to turn away, then perhaps we’ll know the measure of his vision for the north—and just how far he’ll let it stray.”

edrick shifted his weight, resting his forearms on the edge of the table, his sharp gaze locked with brandon’s. “this isn’t about me, or even the banners i could raise if i tried. this is about the north as it’s always been. stubborn, unbroken, unbent. and yet, here we are—talking of gods that were never ours and alliances forged for southern approval.”

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE ENCHANTRESS get what she deserves?” She is in THE DEATH EATERS & OPEN to finding out. 

— she walks through the world as ;

name → evangeline selwyn pronouns → she/her identification → cis female year of birth → september 1954 - september 1955 face claim → kiki layne blood status → pure-blood sexual orientation → homosexual occupation → unspeakable in the hall of prophecy at the ministry of magic future information → married to lachesis malfoy

— she is best described as ;

Dreams STOLEN by stars, she the COLD uncertainty of a tide highlighted by crystal visions yet the ALOOF fragments of a TURBULENT SOUL captive in ice waters . A LUNAR ECLIPSE, MYTHICAL in its undiscovered eternity, she is the INTRICACY of an optical illusion with two undisclosed sides masking her true image from a keen observer. As UNDECIDED as a FLIPPING COIN, she is the  grey hue of MELANCHOLY living in shadows of jade euphoria.

— her story starts with ;

tw: abuse

Born to callous people, the Selwyn’s cared more for the legacy they were leaving than the children they spawned. Notorious for being volatile, it was only to be expected for a family rumored to hold the heirloom of none other than Salazar Slytherin. Each as manipulative and deadly as the next; the family were known for holding power in the ministry and using it to their advantage. Harrelson worked in the International Confederation of Wizards while Saffron acted as a crowning gem on his arm. Possessing bitter distaste for anyone challenging traditionalist views, the couple forced sorcerers to bend under their whim; disposing discreetly of anyone who dared not comply. One of the most powerful and noteworthy families in the country, the lineage was filled with atrocities better left as rumors uttered by skeletons at the backs of locked closets. Eva turned a blind eye knowing it was better to be withdrawn than to partake in the nightmares her parents conjured. Not seeing the world as strictly black and white, she saw the souls behind their father’s disgust. Creeping at midnight to heal wounds inflicted by her parents on elves and EDRICK SELWYN [brother] who was a frequent victim.

Compared to her brother who grew to mimic their father’s behaviors, Eva grew inwardly. Typically a loner, she developed a distaste for people among the Twenty-Eight who cared more for appearances than self discipline. With crystals and astronomy maps for company, the witch grew obstinate. Worn to a cold exterior from years of forceful opinions, Eva grew more concerned with safeguarding her own heart than how her blunt comments could leave others with bruises. Renowned around Hogwarts halls for predicting disasters, many saw her as a bad omen. While her professor expressed their admiration in divination and suspicion she could be gifted with the inner eye, she rejected it. Harbored with dread, for if true her talents could lead to peril should her father become aware. Though solitude fated for her. Perched alone by the black lake, when she heard the voices of sisters SAGE BOSWELL [close friend] and ROWAN BOSWELL [close friend] who sang into the night like sirens luring their prey. Accompanied by OPAL GREY [friend] and RIVER NORWOOD [friend], they were equally as strange and unlike the Slytherin’s she was used to associating with. The group began to feel like home. Marveling at hidden objects and sharing tales with tower ghosts all with her family unaware of who she was associating herself with.

While playing the idealistic product of a Twenty-Eight, she craved a moment of sanctum away from the snobbery. Escaping London, what had meant to be a two week holiday turned into a summer romance and the best four years of her life. Brought to Paris following Boswell's band, Eva longed to find peace for her troubled soul; never did she imagine she’d find love instead. CLAUDETTE DELACOUR [former partner/potential love interest] felt like coming up for air. A complex woman, Evangeline found herself quickly captivated by her. Exchanged glances turned to drinking with the night ending wrapped under sheets in each other’s arms. Encapsulated with one another, from that night they never spent a day apart. They cherished one another and it wasn’t long before Eva had moved in with Claude and her best friend JACQUELINE LEJEUNE [former friend]. Claude’s social circle became hers, with GABRIEL DUMONT [former friend] and RAPHAEL FRANCOIS [former friend] the five became extremely close. With her friends visiting from England when they could, Paris was idealist and offered a life Eva had only ever dreamed of.

Letters and howlers from home were burned on arrival in an attempt to distance herself from the Selwyn’s by any means necessary. The exceptions were rare letters from Erik who consistently pleaded with her to see reason and return. Not heeding his warning, Eva was prepared to disown her family while Claudette held reservations to sacrifice the same. Left exasperated and hurt at being kept a secret from people that meant so much to the French woman, the topic was a continuous sour point. With the desire to love openly and freely, they’d planned to flee Paris once Claude had visited home to leave a mere note for her parents before reuniting so they could disappear into the night. Never did Eva consider their simple goodbye would be their last farewell. Hours and days passed with no word, leading her to assume Claude had gotten cold feet and chosen her family rather than facing her again. Abandoned and left by the one person she’d truly loved, her heart ached with betrayal and broken promises. The rejection forged walls back around her heart, plans to stay in Paris were quickly torn and with owls from Opal and Sage informing her that Rowan had passed suddenly and under suspicious circumstances Eva flead back to the past and the rainy streets of london. 

Influenced back into the grasp of their father, his fury upon her return could have burned the manor to the ground. Adamant she brought shame onto the family name, his ‘teachings’ had been ill in comparison to the torment she faced upon return. Long sleeves hiding scars from cursed quills, Eva fell back in line. Distancing herself from her friends to prove loyalty to her family, she took a job within the Ministry under her father’s guidance that having sorcerers hold Ministry positions would come in use. While skeptical about the world her family envisioned with THE DARK LORD [leader], she knew her alliance to them would mean safety. Immersing herself amongst the wizarding aristocracy again was no small feat. The people she grew up despising for their flippant nature were the few she found herself reluctantly making small talk with in order to appease. Though one that captured her unexpectedly was LACHESIS MALFOY [fiancé]. Articulate with a mind as sharp as a crafted blade; they were as captivating as a lit flame. Finding herself unarmed by their intellect and unwavering gaze at her callous words, Lachesis deemed her cold nature like devotion; with Eva baring her soul only for a selective handful. If Eva was the dark side of a moon filled with mysticism, they were the sun burning a heart she’d long forgotten she’d had. 

Devoting two years to one another, their engagement was celebrated amongst the elite for the uniting of two noble houses. Influenced by Lachesis and Edrik to hold a stronger hand in the movements of The Death Eaters; she finds herself in the exact position she’d always feared. Proving her worth by decoding a prophecy stolen during the Solstice of 1983, Eva has confirmed its meaning to be about CAIUS BURKE [acquaintance] and KERVENS BORGIN’s [friend] mission to gather objects for the Dark Lord’s quest for horcruxes and their prophesied success. Gaining trust amongst The Death Eaters, she has it on good word that MASON TREMBLAY [acquaintance] while trapped in Azkaban is gathering followers from the inside. While Evangline believes The Dark Lord means safety, she can’t help the paranoia still when it comes to a particular french woman. Cursed into silence to not betray her loyalties, instead of worrying for Claude she is focusing on rebuilding the bonds of her old friendships. Creature recruitment heavily on the mind of The Dark Lord, Evangline is seeking out River, Sage and Opal in hopes of entrusting them; promising a world where creatures didn’t live in fear or discrimination. However with Sage’s cold shoulder and River’s reclusive behavior; Evangeline can’t help but feel there is more to the death of Rowan than she was once privy to. 

— she is a LEVEL 6 WITCH & a undiscovered LEVEL 3 SEER & readied for war ;

          Un cambio, una perdida, una tradición, una victoria, una derrota, un suceso puede cambiar la vida de una persona en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Desde toda su vida había odiado a una persona desde el instante que llegó. Jamás olvidaría el día que el esclavo sajón había llegado a la aldea y en poco tiempo había terminado por ser adoptado por uno de los Jarls. Edrick trató de mostrarse agradecido por salvar a Freydis pero conforme crecía su ira hacía él era más grande. En un principio fueron celos creyendo que le había quitado a una amiga, pero posteriormente sus sentimientos evolucionaron y la furia quedó siempre presente cuando no fue correspondido y en cambio aquel chico sajón si. Sin embargo, el destino tenía otros planes y a pesar de que de joven había pedido la mano de Freydis nunca obtuvo una respuesta de su padre cuando toda la aldea se incendio volvió a encontrarla y agradeció que abriera los ojos a la verdadera persona que era. Sin embargo, conforme pasaban los años notaba que su esposa siempre tenía un respeto por él y eso le enfurecía, cada oportunidad que ocurría luchaba por defender su vida... Hasta que creyeron que había muerto. 

          La muerte de Caleb fue el gran enfoque que necesitaron para juntar a todos los vikingos que pudieron, Jarls de varios lados acudieron a su llamado para un plan. Tomando cada reino y el último finalmente había caído. Y ni siquiera el mata daneses había logrado detenerlo y ahora tenía a este como su esclavo, que hiciera lo que deseará, como siempre debió de suceder y que su esposa se lo entregará a él mostró sin duda un mayor valor. 

          Llevaban unos días que había ocurrido el intercambio y tenía a su nuevo esclavo, sin embargo, que Freydis ni siquiera le preguntará una sola vez por él o si quiera hubiera ido a verlo si logró inclusive hasta él extrañarlo porque parecía que lo evitaba a toda costa aunque él no le importaba, por él mejor porque vaya que había hecho la vida de Caleb un infierno y apenas comenzaba. El primer día lo tuvo amarrado afuera del palacio afuera en el solo sin dejar sentarse y cada danés podría ir hacer lo que deseará. Recibió gritos, insultos, le aventaban comida, escupían o inclusive varios hasta lo golpeaban. Muchos habían perdido familia a mano suya o a la de los sajones y lo culpaban por ello. Otros días solo le sirvió a Edrick para humillarlo, en cada manera posible y ni siquiera había llegado a mencionar la parte de su hija, quería enfurecerlo para tener una m��nima escusa para golpearlo más y enseñarle quien mandaba. Lanzó una cubeta de agua a Caleb que se encontraba dormido en su celda. ❝——Levántate❞ gritó este para que saliera tirando de la cadena, como un vil perro que lo sacaba a pasear. 

[edrick-rolling]

Idk what my art style is tonight but I wanted to do a scar sheet for Edrick!!

His most prominent scars are both on his right;

A.) His right shoulder, it has a magic caused burn scar due to a direct hit from @/goldenxglyphs's Hunter, when he was under the influence of Terra's tea. (Edrick 100% forgives him for it)

B.) His right calf, he got bit really hard by one of he's mother's friend's miniature gryphon. At one of his mom's parties.

C.) Various faint marks from his adventures, mischievous escapades, and just plain stupid ideas

QUICK for whoever comes to mind first and you haven’t done yet

You didn’t name the character, so I pick the character without a name. ; )

 Q   :   QUESTION.   would your muse ask the big question or expect their partner to?

Neither. For one thing she’s barred from further sacrament, and for another, I just don’t foresee it being a thing. Maybe. He’d have to ask, though. She’d never presume.

 U   :   UNREQUITED.   has your muse had their heart broken?

Maybe. I keep feeling like there was some sort of something between her and Arrow Fei. I suspect it ended with his death. Before she was Curst, she had flings and couplings, but was not exactly in the best position to consider her romantic future anyway.

 I    :   I LOVE YOU.   does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

If there was something like that with Arrow, I think it would have been easy. They were equals. With Edrick it’s harder: although he insists on treating her as an equal too, it’s not something she’s fully able to accept.

 C   :   CHOCOLATE.   does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

I imagine so. Her father probably brought treats like that on the occasions he visited his children, but after she left with her elder brother Giraud, it would have been a less frequent thing in her life. Sancour probably has wonderful chocolate, and whether she’s right or not (they do pretty well on Hesperus, and it’s easy to find on Thracian Primarus), she will forever insist on the superiority of her homeworld’s confectionary.

 K   :   KISS.   is your muse a good kisser? why / why not?

Yes. No doubt about that in my mind, which is probably why I think about this thing with Arrow. There was probably someone before her burden, too. I guess I’ll find out when I write about that missing finger of hers.

My playlists!

this may sound snobby of me but i really don’t care. i have fucking excellent taste in music. i have a thing for music to the point i’m a bit of an audiophile. music is so crazy important to me. i could probably write a 10k essay on all the reasons i love music. but, anyway. thought i would share the playlists i write to or just... do anything to, really.

Spotify

My obligatory Ironstrange playlist - this one is a hefty one at 422 songs at the time of writing this. This is generally upbeat and energetic with a lot of classic rock, alt rock, 80s stuff, and then a dash of love songs and sprinkle of instrumental/orchestral stuff. i do a lot of writing to this one, but more than anything it’s just my jam out playlist.

Slow smut playlist - the typical stuff you’d have playing in the background while making some sweet slow love. slower tempos, deeper bass, more haunting vocals. i really love writing to this one for just about anything, but especially writing passionate sex.

Hard smut playlist - s p i c y. hard hitting, deep bass, lewd and explicit lyrics. bangers for banging to. i think this one is just a bunch of fun, honestly. it’s great for writing some hardcore smut to, or just to jam out without shame.

Ed’s dead - the rest of these are character specific but still have general themes. this one is the tearjerker playlist. for all your whump, angst, and hurt/comfort needs. tbh i probably write most often to this one no matter the subject! this was designed around the dramatic scene of a character death in a roleplay. it’s very feelsy.

The squish - so lmao despite the title this one is a rather interesting mix. Made for Ed’s boyfriend who is basically a celtic grim reaper, very violent, and a huge party boy. theres like traditional celtic music plus hard rock plus some love songs. its... just a weird mix. just like their relationship. hella fun, though.

Edrick - music for my character, a japanese werecat/nekomata who is alllll sorts of mentally fucked up, aggressive as fuck, absolutely will not admit he’s submissive, drug addict, into some hardcore edgeplay bdsm, and loves his boyfriend so much it drives him crazy but he’ll never say it. So what kind of playlist does a dude like that get? heavy angst, dark and creepy beats, hard rock, a smidge of traditional and modern japanese music, and general angry shit. it’s upbeat but like... in the “i’m getting amped up to get my own ass beat” kind of way.

Pandora

Work radio - i’ve spent like... 8? years or some shit fine tuning this one. it was originally created to listen to at work and just became sort of a general listen to at any time station. theres a little edm, a little of current hits, stuff like hozier and adele, a bit of alt rock, some soundtracks.... its really a wide spread of stuff.

Dub luck - idk whats up with the name, my s/o created this one originally and i took it over. it’s purely EDM with a focus on dubstep.

Guardians of the galaxy - preeeettty much what the title says. inspired by gotg, so lots of classic rock and 80s stuff.

Chill out - a mixture of trance and softer edm, soundtracks, and classical.

Youtube

Halloween Bday - SPOOPY PARTY TIME!! I basically listen to this for the entire month of october LOL but also what i use for my birthday parties since its so close to halloween

vikings - music from the show vikings and other really cool modern vikingish stuff with just a pinch of nordic metal. this shit is epic and i fucking love it.

anyway, thats all so far! I’m working on curating a few others for spotify like a purely instrumental and orchestral one, videogame themes and remixes, and a few different EDM lists. i’ll probably update and rb this when i get them going. hope you enjoy these!

Because I like naming things

Like I REALLY like naming things (need a character name? Lemme at it.). So I thought of names for all of the Vox Machina offspring per my headcanons.

Tried to stick with the flavor of Percy’s name, whatever the hell Whitestone’s naming customs are (SHRUG), and honoring the dead without outright dead guy junior.

I headcanon 8 de Rolo smols, spaced out over a while since Vex is going to be fertile for another several decades and I don’t see she and Percy’s love for each other or desires for a big family waning. 

Frederick Percivalwald von Weissstein Pulaski de Rolo (he has a son named Percival Frederickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo IV), called ‘Freddie’. The eldest, born just skirting 9 months after the fall of Vecna.

Bramwell Ignatius Vax’ildanus Isambard de Rolo, called Bram. (BRAMWELL MEANS RAVENWELL, YOU’RE WELCOME) Born just a year after his brother.

Ursula Elaina von Byroden Montford de Rolo (Ursula means ‘bear girl’ essentially, Vex picked out this name in honor of Trinket). I totally ganked this idea from @mischief7manager since those are perfect for Vex. Born almost two years after Bramwell.

Cornelia Whitney Pelorea Othanzia de Rolo, called ‘Cora’. Born a year after Ursula.

Hazel Fortunata Liliebourg Juliana de Rolo (siblings attempted a nickname but she put them in a headlock. You call her by her full name) By this time Vex was utterly jaded with pregnancy and was actually on an adventure when she gave birth... right under a hazel tree near Westrrun. Born three years after Cora.

Oliver Johannes Weisswald du Giffard de Rolo (called ‘Nolly’ or ‘Nol’) Born two years after Hazel.

Sophronia Louise Iounia Rainesford de Rolo (called ‘Posey’) Born four years after Oliver.

Lucrezia Vex’ahliahilde von Byroden Merletta de Rolo (called Lucy) The surprise baby, born a whole seven years after Posey. Spoiled to bits and a favorite playmate of the gnomelings.

I headcanon that Pike changes her name since the Trickfoots are no longer delinquents. Scanlan wants to do whatever his wife wants. She either outright changes it to something to do with Sarenrae (like ‘Lightguard’ or ‘Dawnflower’) or combines her name with Scanlan’s into Shortfoot. They have two twin girls named Rosemaree and Saranna and a youngest son named Burthold (called Burt). Saranna plays the tuba, much to everyone’s chagrin.

Zahra and Kash name their son Vane, they opt not to have another child because of their semi-nomadic lifestyle. He takes after his mother’s tiefling bloodline, but can scowl just like his father.

At some point after the fall of Vecna, Taryon and Lawrence happen upon a half-orc foundling in a town they’d helped save with the Darrington brigade. They adopt the boy and name him Edrick. He spends every summer in Whitestone with the de Rolo brood.

To what extent do you think the Starks(and the North as a whole) were involved in the whole "blood sacrifice" business pre-conquest?

Well, it’s pretty established in Westerosi historiography that blood sacrifices offered to the old gods were an actual historical phenomenon in the North:

The men of the North are descendants of the First Men, their blood only slowly mingling with that of the Andals who overwhelmed the kingdoms to the south. The original language of the First Men—known as the Old Tongue—has come to be spoken only by the wildlings beyond the Wall, and many other aspects of their culture have faded away (such as the grislier aspects of their worship, when criminals and traitors were killed and their bodies and entrails hung from the branches of weirwoods.)

(emphasis added)

Moreover, it definitely lasted for quite a bit of time: 

“Then a long cruel winter fell,” said Ser Bartimus. “The White Knife froze hard, and even the firth was icing up. The winds came howling from the north and drove them slavers inside to huddle round their fires, and whilst they warmed themselves the new king come down on them. Brandon Stark this was, Edrick Snowbeard’s great-grandson, him that men called Ice Eyes. He took the Wolf’s Den back, stripped the slavers naked, and gave them to the slaves he’d found chained up in the dungeons. It’s said they hung their entrails in the branches of the heart tree, as an offering to the gods. The old gods, not these new ones from the south. Your Seven don’t know winter, and winter don’t know them.”

[C]onsider Maester Yorrick’s Wed to the Sea, Being an Account of the History of White Harbor from Its Earliest Days, which recounts the practice of blood sacrifice to the old gods. Such sacrifices persisted as recently as five centuries ago, according to accounts from Maester Yorrick’s predecessors at White Harbor.

Edrick “Snowbeard” came some generations after Theon “the Hungry Wolf”, whose reign coincided with the Andal Invasion (he was, at the very least, king after Rodrik Stark, who won Bear Island back from the Hoare kings), so at least well into the rule of the Andals below the Neck, House Stark was still taking a prominent role in this “grislier aspect” of their faith. Moreover, if that Wed to the Sea can be believed, the practice continued for several millennia after that (only two centuries before the Targaryens arrived - amazingly recent in the long history of the North and Westeros in general). 

Now, to be sure, how long the Starks officially presided over macabre human sacrifices in the name (names?) of the old gods is unknown; those instances of blood sacrifices recorded by Maester Yorrick’s predecessors could have been the work of old gods fundamentalists (for lack of a better term), unknown either to the Stark in Winterfell or perhaps even their local Manderly overlords. Certainly, based off the excellent work @racefortheironthrone did in his second Politics of the Seven Kingdoms essay, I would think that the Starks took an active role in cultivating the process in at lest their earlier days; the Stark scheme was to make themselves indispensable to the North as a socio-political unit, and a leadership role in blood sacrifices, like their association with Winterfell and the Wall, helped them in a place of religious and supernatural supremacy within the North. 

Unfortunately, as we know little about what happened with the Starks between the Andal Invasion and Torrhen kneeling to Aegon, we can’t say what might have made the practice stop (or, at least, quiet down). Perhaps, once the Manderlys settled themselves in White Harbor, the Starks found it expedient to drop the open practice of stringing their enemies’ guts through trees; southron and Essosi traders might have looked askance at doing business in a place where such a “barbaric” custom was still supported. Perhaps as well, in order to keep the Seven-worshiping Manderlys firmly fixed in their Starks loyalty, Winterfell agreed to end the practice. Without more information, we can’t say.
