Long ago, the Llyrs’ were called pirate lords and Dorsey was called a pirate town. They ran errant in the seas around Eldur with motley crews of thieves and barbarians in stolen boats, the bane of merchant ships and coastal towns. Their spoils they’d bring back to Dorsey, their home on the land, to waste on wenches and in taverns during this, the glorious age of the pirate.

The Llyrs are no longer pirate lords and Dorsey is no longer a pirate town. Little by little, the Crown whittled away the pirate population until only the Llyrs remained and had but one choice: surrender or die. In an effort to appease a town that still considered the Llyrs their lords, they were given Dorsey as a seat and The Ivory Coast as land and made always to remember that a lord is nothing to a king.

But that was long ago and the years have done much to smooth the relations between the Llyrs of Dorsey and the Crown, though the Llyrs have thus resisted the gentrification that such a relationship would imbue. Lord Gruffudd Llyr and the Late King enjoyed a close friendship, which saw many restrictions on the Llyrs and their Navy relaxed, to the chagrin of some lords, who viewed it as unwise and with good reason. It’s long been thought that Lord Gruffudd friendship with the late King was largely what was keeping him pacified, especially since Lord Gruffudd, a difficult man at the best of times, has become more so since the King’s passing, refusing to grant passage to certain ships of certain houses through his waters and causing other diplomatic incidents, so much so that his wife, Lady Erena, the emissary of The Ivory Coast and the diplomatic backbone of the family, is struggling to cope. Whispers of the Llyrs suitability as Wardens of the Ivory Coast and controllers of the Navy have begun to arise in the neighbouring regions, who still regard the Llyrs as too coarse, uncouth and brutal for nobility. For them, the Llyrs are still too much pirate and not enough lord.

The current members of House Llyr are as follows:

Lord Gruffudd Llyr - 55+ - Warden of the Ivory Coast - (FC suggestion: Ray Stevenson)

Lady Erena Llyr nee ------ - 50+ - Emissary of the Ivory Coast - (FC suggestion: Jaime Murray)

Lord Madoc Llyr - 29-32 - Heir to the Ivory Coast - (FC suggestion: Colin o’Donoghue)

Lady Rhona Llyr - 27 - Only daughter, dreamwalker - (Beren Saat) - taken by Priya

Lord Edward Llyr - 24 - Human Disaster - (Gregg Chillin) - taken by cimone

Saffoud, the trading hub of Utawala. Reigned by Sultan Khaled Masshid. Turmoil is currently sweeping the sultanate as the Sultan’s sister Hafsa Bashara is seeking to overthrow her brother and make her own underaged son Sultan and her ruling Sultana. Aided in secret by the Sultan’s advisor Nazim who feels the Sultan is inadequate she seeks allies both inside and outside the sultanate. Sultan Khaled hopes his wife Rajah can give him his much needed male heir and seeks to hold his position. The turmoil can possibly cause grave problems for the Eldurian people as rebellions and unrest sweep its important trading partner, leading the supply routes insecure.

Possible characters: Sultan Khaled (fc sug: Halit Ergenç in The Magnificent Century), Rajah Masshid (fc sug: Sonam Kapoor), Hafsa Bashara (fc sug: Sibylla Deen in tut, possible reserve for myself), Nazim (fc sug: Ben Kingsley in tut); anyone in the Masshid household: harem women, servants; any noble, merchant, sailor, commoner from the region. Arabian names resource. Note or contact me (theholybanana) for more info or if you’re interested. More inspirational posts on my tumblr.

house sheehy has been ruling over westmoor for generations, and has succeeded (so far) in maintaining its popularity amongst its people. the current reigning head is lady sheehy, who has struck a chord with many of the women in the area for supporting and condoning female empowerment. at least, that’s what they believe. she has been forced to quell her righteous anger toward the stiff-upper-lippedness of the aristocracy and her male counterparts, but since the death of her husband and the disappearance of her only son, she has found it in herself to lead her daughters in the best way she sees fit. though she is under constant pressure from her brother-in-law to step aside and let him, or his son take the seat of westmoor, she abjectly refuses.

of course, there are those that oppose her openness: mainly men. since the lord’s death some four years ago, lady sheehy has broken off two engagements of her daughters’ and has overstepped her womanly mark on several occasions. she believes in marrying for love, as she did with her husband, and that women should have the same kind of ruling rights as men. whether this is going to continue is up for debate, and whether, if this was a popularity contest, she would win outright remains to be seen. she’s firm, and tough, but she cares about the people she looks after and has made sure to keep them in the manner to which they are accustomed.

there is a lot of pressure for her to marry off one of her daughters, after her only son ruairi went missing a year ago. though she is still fit and strong, calls from her advisers are beginning to wear her thin, and soon she knows she will be forced to make a decision. 

all names are scottish (or scottish-gaelic), all faces are pretty open as long as they’re the right age and look p similar to the rest of the family. the story and who’s doing what (or marrying who, if u wanted) are totally open so i’d love to chat and create some big fam drama with you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if anyone wants a cousin, all of the above still applies
