#house vance of wayfarer's rest
Note
What do you think of the theory that Lord Vance might have been Master of Laws and finished due to going blind? It would account for there being a lack of Riverlanders on the Small Council, likely Renly came in just afterwards.
Its not a bad theory but there's also no evidence for or against it.
Thanks for the question, @cynicalclassicist

Alas, the king was not of a forgiving mind. Urged on by his mother, the Queen Dowager Alicent, Aegon II was determined to exact vengeance upon those who had betrayed and deposed him. He started with the crownlands, sending forth his own men and the stormlanders of Borros Baratheon against Rosby, Stokeworth, and Duskendale and the surrounding keeps and villages. Though the lords thus accosted, through their stewards and castellans, were quick to lower Rhaenyra’s quartered banner and raise Aegon’s golden dragon in its stead, each in turn was brought in chains to King’s Landing and forced to do obeisance before the king. Nor were they freed until they had agreed to pay a heavy ransom, and provide the Crown with suitable hostages.
This campaign proved a grave mistake, for it only served to harden the hearts of the late queen’s men against the king. Reports soon reached King’s Landing of warriors gathering in great numbers at Winterfell, Barrowton, and White Harbor. In the riverlands, the aged and bedridden Lord Grover Tully had finally died (of apoplexy from having his house fight against the rightful king at Second Tumbleton, Mushroom says), and his grandson Elmo, now at last the Lord of Riverrun, had called the lords of the Trident to war once more, lest he suffer the same fate as Lords Rosby, Stokeworth, and Darklyn. To him gathered Benjicot Blackwood of Raventree, already a seasoned warrior at three-and-ten; his fierce young aunt, Black Aly, with three hundred bows; Lady Sabitha Frey, the merciless and grasping Lady of the Twins; Lord Hugo Vance of Wayfarer’s Rest; Lord Jorah Mallister of Seagard; Lord Roland Darry of Darry; aye, and even Humfrey Bracken, Lord of Stone Hedge, whose house had hitherto supported King Aegon’s cause.
Fire and Blood (George R. R. Martin)
How badly do you need to piss off the Lords, for Brackens to defect and join the same side as Blackwoods of their own free will?

ADDAM + HUGH
The way GRRM wrote these 2 dragonseeds, it's apparent they are meant to be contrasted against each other. With other dragonseeds, like Ulf, he exists as a sidekick to Hugh and someone who tries to take up Hugh's mantle after his death, so we don't even get much of a description of what he's truly like. Ulf's role in the story is more about having a presence as one of the betrayers so that the 2 Treasons plot can have urgency. Ulf is to Hugh what Alyn is to Addam. And because of that contrast, obviously Alyn is a character with much greater importance than Ulf. Nettles stands apart from the rest of the dragonseeds which is why her story takes a different turn at the end. With Addam and Hugh specifically though, they are narrative foils.
SMALL & QUICK VS TALL & STRONG
Small and quick as their mother, these bastards of Hull were both silver of hair and purple of eye, and soon proved to have “sea salt in their blood” as well, growing up in their grandsire’s shipyard and going to sea as ship’s boys before the age of eight.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: The Red Dragon and the Gold
The son of a common blacksmith, Hammer was a huge man, with hands so strong that he was said to be able to twist steel bars into torcs. Though largely untrained in the art of war, his size and strength made him a fearsome foe.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant
SECRETIVE VS BOASTFUL
And Addam Velaryon, lately Addam of Hull, sought out the Sea Snake after the battle; what they spoke to each other even Mushroom does not say.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: The Red Dragon and the Gold
Mushroom tells us there were two men on Dragonstone that night who drank to the slaughter in a smoky tavern beneath the castle: the dragonriders Hugh the Hammer and Ulf the White, who had flown Vermithor and Silverwing into battle and lived to boast of it. “We are knights now, truly,” Hard Hugh declared.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: The Red Dragon and the Gold
NOBLE COMPANY VS UNSAVOURY FOLLOWERS
Addam Velaryon was relentless and determined and glib of tongue, and the riverlords knew much and more of the horrors that had befallen Tumbleton. By the time Ser Addam was ready to descend on Tumbleton, he had near four thousand men at his back.
Benjicot Blackwood, the twelve-year-old Lord of Raventree, had come forth, as had the widowed Sabitha Frey, Lady of the Twins, with her father and brothers of House Vypren. Lords Stanton Piper, Joseth Smallwood, Derrick Darry, and Lyonel Deddings had scraped together fresh levies of greybeards and green boys, though all had suffered grievous losses in the autumn’s battles. Hugo Vance, the young lord of Wayfarer’s Rest, had come, with three hundred of his own men plus Black Trombo’s Myrish sellswords.
Most notably of all, House Tully had joined the war.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Overthrown
Though Hammer’s ambition was unseemly in one born so low, the bastard undeniably possessed some Targaryen blood and had proved himself fierce in battle and open-handed to those who followed him, displaying the sort of largesse that draws men to leaders as a corpse draws flies. They were the worst sort of men, to be sure: sellswords, robber knights, and like rabble, men of tainted blood and uncertain birth who loved battle for its own sake and lived for rapine and plunder.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Overthrown
LOYALTY VS TREACHEROUS AMBITION
Ser Addam flew far and fast, descending on castles great and small whose lords were loyal to the queen, to piece together an army.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Overthrown
Lord Hammer (as he now styled himself) began to dream of crowns. “Why be a lord when you can be a king?” he told the men who began to gather round him.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant
WARRANT FOR ARREST VS WARRANT FOR EXECUTION
As Ser Luthor Largent and his gold cloaks rode up Rhaenys’s Hill with the queen’s warrant, the doors of the Dragonpit were thrown open above them, and Seasmoke spread his pale grey wings and took flight, smoke rising from his nostrils.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant
Nor did the once-gentle prince hesitate when Lord Unwin Peake presented him with warrants for the execution of Hard Hugh Hammer and Ulf White, but eagerly affixed his seal.
— Fire & Blood, The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Overthrown
HONORABLE DEATH VS DISHONORABLE DEATH
Young Ser Addam died bravely at the Second Battle of Tumbleton, proving his faithfulness with his life after it had been called into question by the deeds of the Two Betrayers.
— The World of Ice and Fire, Aegon II
When he spied Hard Hugh, Roxton saw his chance, and said, “Lord Hammer, my condolences.” Hammer turned, glowering. “For what?” he demanded. “You died in the battle,” Bold Jon replied, drawing Orphan-Maker and thrusting deep into Hammer’s belly, before opening the bastard from groin to throat.

❝It was believed that the marriage between lady Arianne Aspasia of House Vance of Wayfarer's Rest and Colton of House Celtigar was one of love. A claim that held only a partial truth: the affection lord Colton felt for his dear wife was undeniable, while the rumors surronding lady Arianne spoke of a deep closeness she only ever shared with her childhood friend, princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Though, the union gave life to two twins: Visenyra Cornelia Celtigar and Maegar Lucretio Celtigar. At their birth, the siblings were graciously gifted with two dragon eggs of princess Rhaenyra’s she-dragon Syrax, a most precious gift from the woman they would grow to consider almost as a second mother. The favoritism and even the curious naming of the Celtigar twins, undeniably reminiscent of House Targaryen offspring, kept the realm whispering about the true nature of lady Arianne and princess Rhaenyra relation.❞

who: @ronanbrackens
what: A longstanding feud between House Bracken and House Blackwood threatens to escalate, drawing the attention of King Casimir Tully. Ronan, determined to uphold his family's honor, confronts Hugo about his support for House Blackwood. Hugo, advocating for peace and reconciliation, tries to reason with Ronan, pointing out the destructive nature of the feud. Ronan, however, remains steadfast in his belief in the ancient code of blood feuds and challenges Hugo to a duel to settle their differences.
"We've no reason to go about this with conflict. I only mean to bring peace. Not just between Brackens and Blackwoods but between Tullys and Freys, me and mine own brother. A land cannot functioned when so fractured." The conversation was not going well and he should have known that, he should have known better than to start with Ronan Bracken. But, the other had a reputation for calmness and even though it started with Ronan asking him about his ties to House Blackwood, he thought it mattered to make it clear he took the side of the Riverlands. The people.
Hugo kept his voice light, his tone one of a respect as he spoke to the man before him. He did not have a place on the council, he was an oft visiting courtier, a man who tracked the histories of the realm and shared them with the eyes of maesters of their King. He would chronicle everything of his this new age in the Riverlands for as long as long as the Gods allowed him to breathe.
"Ben Blackwood and I have been friends since boyhood. My friendship with Ben is one that's years old. Long before I knew of any Brackens, Freys, Mootons, or Tullys. House Vance of Wayfarer's Rest takes no part in your ancient blood feuds." Hugo was firm in his statement. "We are loyal to the crown and he who wears it. Our main interest is the realm existing in a place of peace and prosperity."

Frey Civil War: The Many Walders & Waldas Frey
1. Lord Walder Frey of The Crossing (92 y/o), Patriarch of House Frey. Has outlived 7 wives & married an 8th. Hosted the Red Wedding.
2. Walda Frey (9 y/o), daughter of Janyce Hunter. 2nd in the Frey line of inheritance, as the assumed heir of Edwyn Frey (eldest son of Ryman, the eldest son of Ser Stevron by his 1st wife, Corenna Swann: Ser Stevron was Lord Frey's eldest son, by his 1st wife Perra Royce, & was found dead in his tent after the Battle of Oxcross).
3. "Black" Walder Frey (20~42 y/o), 2nd son of an unnamed spouse & the late Ryman Frey (a key conspirator of the RW, later found hanged by outlaws near Fairmarket). He is the younger brother of Edwyn & the elder half-brother of Walton. Black Walder was a key conspirator in the Red Wedding & the killer of a Vance.
4. Walder Vance (9~29 y/o), eldest son of Ser Dafyn Vance & the late Maegelle Frey (only daughter of Ser Stevron, born of his 2nd marriage with Jeyne Lydden). His exact relation to Houses Vance of Atranta & Wayfarer's Rest is uncertain, as is his relation to the Vance slain by Black Walder at the RW.
5. Walton Frey (32~52 y/o), 3rd son of Ser Stevron & his only child by his 3rd wife (Marsella Waynwood, died in childbirth). He has only appeared in appendices, thus far.
6. "Fair" Walda Frey (18 y/o), only daughter of Deana Hardyng & Walton Frey. She was one of many Frey women who danced with King Robb Stark at the Red Wedding.
7. "Red" Walder Frey (15 y/o), 4th & youngest son of Genna Lannister & Emmon Frey (2nd son of Lord Frey by his 1st wife, Perra Royce). He is a squire at Casterly Rock.
8. "White" Walda Frey (11 y/o), only daughter of Jeyne Beesbury & Rhaegar Frey (2nd son of Ser Aenys, Lord Frey's 3rd son by his 1st wife). Her father is currently MIA.
9. Walder Haigh (5 y/o), eldest son of Ser Harys Haigh (eldest son of Perriane, Lord Frey's eldest daughter & his last child with Perra Royce). Knights of House Haigh participated in the RW massacre.
10. Walder Goodbrook (10 y/o), eldest son of Ser Garse Goodbrook & Kyra Frey (daughter of Ser Jared, 4th son of Lord Frey & 1st by his 2nd wife, Cerenna Swann). Knights of House Goodbrook participated in the RW massacre.
11. "Fat" Walda Frey (16 y/o), daughter of Mariya Darry & the late Merrett Frey (9th son of Lord Frey & the 4th by his 3rd wife, Amarei Crakehall). She was one of the many Frey women to dance with King Robb at the RW & was then wed to Lord Roose Bolton.
12. "Little" Walder Frey (9 y/o), only son of Mariya Darry & Merrett Frey. Found dead at Winterfell.
13. Walda Frey (5 y/o), 2nd daughter of Leonella Lefford & "Lame" Lothar Frey (12th son of Lord Frey & 1st by his 4th wife, Alyssa Blackwood). Her father, alongside Lord Roose Bolton, was one of the primary engineers of the RW.
14. "Big" Walder Frey (9 y/o), eldest son of Sallei Paege & Ser Jammos Frey (13th son of Lord Frey, 2nd by his 4th wife). He has been a ward at Winterfell for most of the series, alongside his late cousin Little Walder.
15. Walder Brax (6 y/o), 2nd son of Ser Flement Brax & Morya Frey (3rd daughter of Lord Frey, 1st by his 4th wife). Knights of House Brax participated in the RW.
16. Waltyr Frey (10 y/o), 21st son of Lord Frey & 3rd by his 7th wife, Annara Farring. He & the other children of Annara Farring are alleged as being bastards of Black Walder.
17. "Bastard" Walder Rivers, eldest of Lord Frey's bastards. He lead the charge on those camped outside The Twins for the RW.
18. Walda Rivers, daughter of Bastard Walder & a Lady Charlton.
19. Walda Rivers (5 y/o), daughter of Ser Aemon Rivers (son of Bastard Walder) & niece of the other Walda Rivers.
Just For Fun:
the average age of a Walder "Frey" is 19½ years old. this does not take into account Walders whose ages are vague estimates.
with Lord Walder (an outlier who should not have been counted) Excluded, the average Walder is 9 years old.
the average "Walda" is 10/11 years old.
in addition to those named above, ASOIAF has four other "Walders": 2 historic Ser Walders from the reign of Daeron II, of Houses Woodmere & Stackspear; the last known Lord of House Tarbeck, Lord Walderan; and the Objectively Best Walder in the series, Walder of Winterfell (16~ y/o).
#house frey#the many walders frey#valyrianscrolls#there is foreshadowing hiding here somewhere i'm sure of it#lord walder alleges that all these walders & waldas are named to curry his favour#this generally rings true but then you get fair walda & the complete absence of her father walton from any house gossip#which instantly made walton my 2nd favourite frey (to speculate on)#poor walder of winterfell did not deserve his name to be so besmirched by association#the one true walder is not even a frey#red wedding mentions#winterfell murder mysteries mention#just for fun trivia

Quote
“Rhaenyra the Pretender was gone, her dragons dead, the mummer kings all fallen, and yet the realm knew not peace,” Septon Eustace wrote soon after. With his half-sister slain and her only surviving son a captive at his own court, King Aegon II might reasonably have expected the remaining opposition to his rule to melt away…and mayhaps it might have done so if His Grace had heeded Lord Velaryon’s counsel and issued a general pardon for all those lords and knights who had espoused the queen’s cause.
Alas, the king was not of a forgiving mind. Urged on by his mother, the Queen Dowager Alicent, Aegon II was determined to exact vengeance upon those who had betrayed and deposed him. He started with the crownlands, sending forth his own men and the stormlanders of Borros Baratheon against Rosby, Stokeworth, and Duskendale and the surrounding keeps and villages. Though the lords thus accosted, through their stewards and castellans, were quick to lower Rhaenyra’s quartered banner and raise Aegon’s golden dragon in its stead, each in turn was brought in chains to King’s Landing and forced to do obeisance before the king. Nor were they freed until they had agreed to pay a heavy ransom, and provide the Crown with suitable hostages.
This campaign proved a grave mistake, for it only served to harden the hearts of the late queen’s men against the king. Reports soon reached King’s Landing of warriors gathering in great numbers at Winterfell, Barrowton, and White Harbor. In the riverlands, the aged and bedridden Lord Grover Tully had finally died (of apoplexy from having his house fight against the rightful king at Second Tumbleton, Mushroom says), and his grandson Elmo, now at last the Lord of Riverrun, had called the lords of the Trident to war once more, lest he suffer the same fate as Lords Rosby, Stokeworth, and Darklyn. To him gathered Benjicot Blackwood of Raventree, already a seasoned warrior at three-and-ten; his fierce young aunt, Black Aly, with three hundred bows; Lady Sabitha Frey, the merciless and grasping Lady of the Twins; Lord Hugo Vance of Wayfarer’s Rest; Lord Jorah Mallister of Seagard; Lord Roland Darry of Darry; aye, and even Humfrey Bracken, Lord of Stone Hedge, whose house had hitherto supported King Aegon’s cause.
Even more grave were the tidings from the Vale, where Lady Jeyne Arryn had assembled fifteen hundred knights and eight thousand men-at-arms, and sent envoys to the Braavosi to arrange for ships to bring them down upon King’s Landing. With them would come a dragon. Lady Rhaena of House Targaryen, brave Baela’s twin, had brought a dragon’s egg with her to the Vale...an egg that had proved fertile, bringing forth a pale pink hatchling with black horns and crest. Rhaena named her Morning.

Later on, when she was in her twenties, she became the first mistress of the future Aegon IV, who was then only the son of Prince Viserys, brother of Aegon III. She was 10 years older than him. When Prince Viserys found out about the affair, he wed Falena to the master-at-arms in the Red Keep, Ser Lucas Lothston, and persuaded King Aegon to make Ser Lucas the Lord of Harrenhal, thereby removing Falena from court. However, Prince Aegon paid many visits to Harrenhal in the following 2 years. When Falena gave birth to a daughter, Jeyne Lothston, over 10 years later, some suspected that Aegon was the father rather than Falena's husband. Six years after Aegon finally became king, Falena and her husband, who was made the King's Hand, returned to court with the fourteen-year-old Jeyne, who became Aegon's eighth mistress. However, the king soon infected Jeyne with a pox and the Lothstons were banished from court again, Lucas serving less than a year as Hand. Fancast: Deborah Ann Woll.

Benjicot Blackwood, the twelve-year-old Lord of Raventree, had come forth, as had the widowed Sabitha Frey, Lady of the Twins, with her father and brothers of House Vypren. Lords Stanton Piper, Joseth Smallwood, Derrick Darry, and Lyonel Deddings had scraped together fresh levies of greybeards and green boys, though all had suffered grievous losses in the autumn’s battles. Hugo Vance, the young lord of Wayfarer’s Rest, had come, with three hundred of his own men plus Black Trombo’s Myrish sellswords.
Most notably of all, House Tully had joined the war. Seasmoke’s descent upon Riverrun had at last persuaded that reluctant warrior, Ser Elmo Tully, to call his banners for the queen, in defiance of the wishes of his bedridden grandsire, Lord Grover. “A dragon in one’s courtyard does wonders to resolve one’s doubts,” Ser Elmo is reported to have said.

BACKGROUND
tw - childhood neglect
Despite being a much anticipated heir for Lord Vance, Tristan was never a wanted child - simply a necessity. His parents had not married out of love, and though Lady Vance longed to look upon the faces of her children and feel the maternal instincts she had always expected, it didn’t come. In her shame, she distanced herself from them, a cold and lonely figure, leaving them to flounder under their father’s demanding eye.
Tristan never did do much good when he felt like he was being controlled. A child who had felt little love in his life, he had taken to grasping for attention by any means possible, acting out to receive his father’s attention. Even harsh words and punishments were better than escaping his attention at all, surely? Any other father might have felt glad to have a child such as Tristan, strong and clever and, when he felt like it, utterly charming. Lord Vance was a different matter, though. He felt no care for his children in the slightest, beyond what he could use them for, and in his eyes, no son would ever be good enough to follow in his footsteps - not even Tristan.
The young Lord was just eighteen when his mother passed away, with little ceremony or fanfare. As Lady Vance held love for nobody, very few held love for her. It wasn’t long after that when he made his decision - there was nothing for him in the Riverlands. It was time to go. Crossing the seas to the free cities, Tristan joined the Golden Company, where he proved to be an excellent soldier, quickly making his way up the ranks to become an officer fairly quickly. He was twenty-five when the news of his father’s death reached him. It was time to go home, and take his place as the Lord of Wayfarer’s Rest.
Being back in Westeros didn’t suit Tristan. He hated his family home, and missed the camaraderie of the Golden Company. Wayfarer’s Rest was filled with unhappy memories, and it wasn’t long before Tristan made it known that he did not welcome visitors. Once a bustling hub, the halls fell silent, left with nothing but the Vance family and a rapidly dwindling household staff to fill it.
Devoid of purpose, never fully educated in how to be a ruling Lord, Tristan became more withdrawn, and more miserable as time went on, never truly allowing anybody to get close to him. He has tried, though. Attempts to marry, to find somebody to bear him an heir and bring warmth that his household has long been missing have been made, and then ruined by Tristan’s own hand. However, he has recently found something to give him drive once more, finding something of a makeshift family through joining the Brotherhood Without Banners. It’s not much, but it’s something, enough to forget the demons that plague him for a short while.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
Lovers: Tristan is a handsome man, and never short of female attention. Devoid of affection for most of his life, he craves it desperately, leading him to take lovers to his bed frequently. It never last long - after a while, he grows uncomfortable with their attentions, and breaks off their entanglement.
Ex-Betrothals: Similar to the above, Tristan has made attempts to marry. However, he grows doubtful of his ability to be a husband, and continually breaks betrothals, believing he has little to offer a potential wife.
Brothers in Arms: Unlike his relationships with women, Tristan does far better dealing with soldiers, finding in them a family unit he has never gotten in a traditional sense. This connection would involve his friendship with former members of The Golden Company and The Brotherhood Without Banners.
Enemies: Tristan is a prickly person with a negative outlook on life, leading to him to rub people up the wrong way and make enemies of some powerful people.
Misc. Friendships: If anybody can make it past his issues and grumpy personality, they’ll find a loyal friend and devoted companion.

House Vance of Atranta, sworn to Riverrun - Chrystelle Atallah
House Vance of Atranta is one of the two great branches of House Vance in the riverlands, the other being House Vance of Wayfarer's Rest. Armistead Vance was the mightiest of the Andal conquerors who defeated King Tristifer IV Mudd. In the century after the downfall of House Justman, the Vances were among the petty kings who disputed the riverlands. The Vances joined the rebellion of river lords against Harren the Black during Aegon's Conquest.
House Vance rules over wider domains and can field a much larger army than their overlord of House Tully and they supported Robb Stark until the Red Wedding.

VISAGE
“Mother says that a well groomed man is prepared for occurrences in life and death.” Hugo Vance, a well groomed man, takes careful time to keep himself clean even when he’s in a place where it’s not the main priority. Everyday after fighting in the dance you wouldn’t find Hugo with a camp follower in his tent, you would find Hugo cleaning himself up, cleaning his nails, and then shaving the hair off his face and ensuring his hair was always cut to a length his mother would approve of even in war. This called the men to make jokes, mockery of the pampered lord who finally ranaway from his mother. Hugo has always taken then ribs in stride, he knows that men bond through mockery though he rarely takes part for he has little understanding of where the line is.
Tall, lean, and boyish is how one can describe the physical presence of Hugo. He is a naturally curious young man, bright green eyes always holding contact. Something people commented on is far too intense which he has taken note of and now mentally counts to 30 before looking away, he thinks he needs less time. The only facial hair he’s ever had is a thin mustache, he and his mother agree that a mustache is elegant and easy to maintain over a beard. Hugo often gives the impression of a young man filling in for his father when he enters rooms.
Described as studious, educated, and kind the Lord has a reputation for his ability to recall historical events, namely dates. With a fondness for reading, hawking, horses, and fencing the Lord is quite active. In the same breath that women use to call him gentle and pious, men will call him boring. The Lord of Wayfarer’s Rest is known to his people because of his love for horse racing through his lands or his hawking with the children.
QUICK FACTS
Hugo spent some time at the Citadel where he learned what they had to teach him, what they allowed him to do beyond the scrubbing and cleaning of many new members. When he was called away due to the realm being on the brink of war he considered it his greatest sadness.
While at the Citadel he kept in touch with one of his dearest friends, Ben Blackwood, while Huge is older than the other they bonded over a shared love of knowledge and history. It was a connection he valued over the years.
While not incredibly war minded, Hugo loves to make plans. He sees the many patterns in the world around him and he knows how to put those pieces together and forge something of success. He was very successful in his time in the dance with the few plans he used to cut off groups using hunting trails and beaten horse tracks.
While not considered near the top 100 of great knights in Westeros, Hugo is a phenomenal fencer and enjoys taking part in the contest. He experienced one duel in his time in the dance with a young lord hoping to win favor. Using his prized rapier blade he slew the man in single combat taking his host as prisoners.
Hugo wasn’t a knight until the dance, knighted by CASIMIR .
Hugo supports Casimir Tully in full and when it came time to choose a brother his house backed him in full. He continues to support him through his more unpopular choices and decisions.
“Everyone with experience died. We’re giving it our best and so far, we’re alive and well. May the Gods bless and guide the souls of the dead but, and I mean well when I say this, people die. Whether it’s those little girls or those smallfolk, people died. And people will continue to die if we don’t make room to learn from mistakes.”
Hugo Vance is not a council member as much as he is a courtier who maintains a close friendship with the King and hand. He wishes to forge positive connections with everyone, seeing little use in animosity and trickery when working together is the only way to solve their problems.
