House Dayne

"Bold and Righteous"

House Dayne is an extinct house of landed knights of the Kingdom of Arvas sworn to the city of Ghostrock rather than another noble family. Their seat was the village of Saltpool and the small castle known as Dayne Manor. Their sigil was a yellow and red sunburst upon a split field of blue and gray.

History
During the winter of 376AL, Ghostrock experienced a great famine because of a failure for Northern Arvas to deliver enough grain to sustain the growing populace of the mining town. Baron Jorge Karchev decided to set aside a piece of his land and give it to his most loyal Man-At-Arms, Ser Miles Dayne. This territory was to be cultivated for raising sheep and potatoes.

Ser Karl Dayne died in 499AL while his only son, Ser Willem Dayne, was away on a Vladimiran Expedition with Prince Sebastian Strelok. The land was then legally ceded to the Baron of Ghostrock because of Willem's oath to the Kingshields.

Recent Events
Ser Willem Dayne was relived of his Kingshield duty by King Sebastian Strelok to resume his lordship over Saltpool.

During the December Uprising, Ser Willem Dayne was responsible for King Sebastian's freedom and his escape from Sunbane Keep. He saved the life of the King a second time, when bandits tried to break into the Royal Treasury. He sided with the North and was to be reward Earlship of the Southern Hills but sadly, Ser Willem Dayne was assassinated by those loyal to the Iron Hills Resistance, dying without an heir.
