            Brief History:  House Stark is one of the Great Houses of Westeros, and has been the main dominant family in the north. Most if not all houses respect the Starks and would fight beside them if called. Though the Starks have a long past of strong men and women they often seal their own fates with their morals. Ned Stark was murdered on the orders of Joffrey. Now the remaining members of the Stark family, some of which are separated seek to avenge their father, and husband. Catelyn, and Robb are off fighting a war, while Bran is back in winterfell with Rickon, Sansa is being held in King's landing, and the whereabouts of Arya are unknown. Many believe her to be dead.

House Name: Tyrell

Holdings: Highgarden, The Reach

Lord: Mace Tyrell

Religion: Faith of the Seven

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs): House Tyrell is the great noble house of the Reach, ruling from their seat known as Highgarden. Descended from King Garth Greenhand through the female line, House Tyrell can claim ancient blood from a long line of Kings. Their sigil is a golden rose, their words are ‘Growing Strong’. The main export of the Reach, apart from its large military, is their wealth in crops and food. As of 299 A.C., and following the death of their King, Renly Baratheon, House Tyrell has yet to swear allegiance to any king. Mace Tyrell, his wife Alerie, his mother Olenna, and his two eldest sons Willas and Garlan reside at Highgarden along with their many extended cousins and kin.

Application

 

House Name: Lannister

 

Holdings: The Seven Kingdoms is rightfully Joffrey Baratheon’s. Lord Tywin, Warden of the West, holds Casterly Rock, Lannisport, and the westernlands. As well as Harrenhal and swathes of the riverlands.

 

Lord: Tywin Lannister

 

Who do they bend the knee to?: The rightful heir to Robert Baratheon, King Joff.

 

Religion: The Seven

 

Brief History; Lord Tywin and House Lannister in his fathers past have been grievously slighted. But with Tywin’s ascent to power, things changed rapidly. If you could find a Casatmer or Tarbreck, just ask them. In more recent events Tywin with 20 years of ruling the Kingdom under his belt is once more called into action. Initially he ordered men to intercept Ned Starks peace keeping mission led by Lord Dondarion. 

 

With the outbreak of all out war, Tywin and house Lannister were well positioned in the heart of the kingdom. Even now the Iron Throne is theirs, alongside King’s Landing. But Lord Tywin’s real concern is the false ‘Boy King of the North’ who was running amok in his lands. The host begins to march...

Since House Tully hasn’t been accepted yet imma put one up to hopefully to get it instead.. sorry Unusual <3.

 

Application

House Name: House Tully

Holdings: The Riverlands, Riverun

Lord: Hoster Tully

Who do they bend the knee to?: Robb Stark, King of the North

Religion: If I’m correct it’s the Faith of the Seven

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs):

House Tully is a great house and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. They rose to during the Wars of Conquest where Lord Edmyn Tully rebelled against the King of the Isles and the Riverlands supporting House Targaryen. Once Aegon the Conqueror established the Iron Throne the family was rewarded as Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. Currently to this day the family still sits as rulers of the Riverlands within the castle of Riverun as their family home.   

 

During Robert’s Rebellion, Hoster Tully would raise his banners against the Mad King to assist Lord Robert Baratheon after the execution of Rickard and Brandon Stark. Years later,  Hoster Tully would be a bed-ridden man to the point where the responsibilities would fall to his son Edmure Tully. His daughter, Catelyn Stark would later capture Tyrion Lannister due to him allegedly attempting to kill her son to which his father Tywin Lannister would send out Ser Gregor Clegane along with some raiders to the Riverlands as retaliation along with raising banners from Lannisport. 

 

Meanwhile, Edmure Tully would send a defensive force to defend the Riverlands in the Battle of Golden Tooth resulting in a Lannister victory. As Edmure retreated his forces back to Riverrun, Jamie Lannister would begin an attempt to siege Riverun. While the siege began to make ready, Ser Brynden Tully would go to his great-nephew, Robb Stark, which would result in them breaking the siege of Riverun along with capturing Jamie Lannister at the Battle of Whispering Wood. After the Battle, the Tully’s would soon declare Robb Stark, King of the North, with fellow lords.

House Name: The King Beyond the Wall

Holdings: The True North

Lord: Mance Rayder

Who do they bend the knee to?: We do not kneel

Religion: The Old Gods

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs): The Freefolk have lived beyond the wall since it was first built. In the construction of the wall, they were forever cut off from the rest of the world. Since then, multiple Kings beyond the wall have risen. Only a couple have actually ever made it beyond the wall, and none of them have made it very far past that. However, as time has gone on and the Night’s Watch has grown weak, wildling raids are becoming more and more common.

 

Now, possibly the greatest king beyond the wall has risen. Mance Rayder, a former member of the Night’s Watch, left the black and joined the freefolk. For years now, he has dedicated to uniting the forty or so tribes north of the wall, along with the giants, in order to save them all from the White Walkers. Now, Mance Rayder finds himself trying to save his people, with the Night’s Watch standing in the way.

House Name: House Baratheon

Holdings: The Crownlands, King’s Landing.

Lord: Joffrey Baratheon the first of his name, King of the Seven Kingdoms. 

Who they bend the knee to?: Joffrey Baratheon.

Religion: The Faith of the Seven

Brief History: Joffrey’s father Robert rebelled against the Mad King Aerys Targaryen in a culmination of events; first his son Rhaegar had kidnapped and presumably later raped his betrothed Lyanna Stark. Then after this horrendous act, Robert’s best friend Eddard Starks brother Brandon Stark rode to King’s Landing demanding his sister back. But the Mad King imprisoned him, then Eddard’s own father Rickard Stark rode south to get his son released and had an audience with the Mad King demanding trial by combat for his sons release. But the King, ever cruel, insisted that fire was his champion. As a result Rickard Stark was burned to death in his own armour, his son strangled himself to death trying to rescue him.

 

After this hideous act the Mad King declared Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon traitors and demanded their foster father Jon Arryn hand them over. He did not, and struck his banners in open rebellion against the mad King. Robert soon moved south to the Stormlands while Eddard Stark called his banners from the North. What conflict ensued was known as Robert’s rebellion which finally culminated at the Battle of the Trident and the subsequent sack of King’s Landing by Tywin Lannister late to the war after the Mad-King foolishly believed Tywin was coming to his aid and opened the gates to his old friend. Because of this act, Robert married Tywin’s daughter Cersei Lannister who was counted among the most beautiful women of Westeros at that time.

 

Together they had three children; Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, all sporting the golden Lannister hair and green eyes. Enemies of the true heir Joffrey were not qudck to pounce on this feature, most notably Stannis Baratheon and Eddard Stark. The former attempted a coup against Joffrey which ultimately failed when Janos Slynt Commandero of the City Watch came to the defense of his rightful King (of course, after some hefty bribes from Littlefinger) and cut down Lord Starks men. The traitor lord was imprisoned until Joffrey had him dragged out to the sept of Baelor to hail him as the true King. Forced to do so, since his daughter Sansa was held as a hostage by the Lannisters. To the horror of his mother Cersei, Sansa his betrothed wife and Varys the spider; Joffrey had the traitor executed. But because of Eddard Starks imprisonment and subsequent execution, Robb Stark has called his banners and marched south, winning victory after victory over the Lannisters. 

 

Soon after this act, Joffrey’s uncle Tyrion Lannister arrived in the capital to serve as temporary King’s Hand until his father was finished with the war in the North. Yet these were not the only threats, to the south and east new threats appeared; Joffreys powerhungry uncles the heathen Stannis and flamboyant Renly have both declared themselves the King’s of the Seven Kingdoms. While Stannis’s claim was far superior to his younger brothers, Renly enjoyed the support of both the Reach and the Stormlands. To Cersei and Tyrions delight, the pair chose to fight eachother rather than work together. 
 

Old feuds ran deep between the pair, Stannis had always loathed his younger brother especially after he had been scorned over Storms End instead being seemingly banished to Dragonstone. Renly had got the Stormlands while Stannis secured some rocks in the narrow sea. But there would be no battle, Renly was slain. Some say he was killed by a shadow, others claim the wench knight Brienne of Tarth did it. But none could argue, Stannis came out the victor. While the Tyrells refused to support him, the Stormlanders flocked to his banners as did a few houses of the Reach. King’s landing itself is threatened by the usurper Stannis, and siege preperations are being made. But Stannis will fail and perish, as will all other foes of Joffrey Baratheon.

House Name: House Crakehall

Holdings: Crakehall

Lord: Roland Crakehall

Who do they bend the knee to?: House Lannister

Religion: Faith of the Seven

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs): The Crakehalls are among the prominent houses of the Westerlands. They are of modest, yet noteworthy repute; claiming descent from Crake the Boarkiller during the Age of Heroes and another Crakehall even briefly reigning as King of the Iron Islands. Their seat, Crakehall, sits to the south of the Westerlands on the border of the Reach. They are known for their robust and large size, as well as producing strong and fearsome warriors.

 

With war on the brink in Westeros, and loyal to the House of Lannister, the men of Crakehall would relish at such an opportunity.

Indeed, so I will still consider your application though I can not accept or deny it until I can also review the other. I recommend providing a longer history and better detail as the minimum is intended to be 1-2 paragraphs, and it will be selected based on which is better done.

House Name:
The High Septon relinquishes all worldly names. But he is known as “the fat one” due to his known gluttony.

Holdings:
The Great Sept of Baelor.

Lord:

The 20th High Septon, known as “the fat one”.

Who do they bend the knee to?:

Technically no one, but since the Faith Militant Uprising, the Faith of the Seven and thus its head has been beholden to the Crown.

Religion:

The Faith of the Seven.

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs):

It is said that the Seven-Faced God first appeared in Essos, in the mountains and valleys of Andalos. Crowning Hugor of the Hill as King of the Andals. From then on the Faith of the Seven has been integral to the Andalosi and later Westerosi people. After pressure from the Valyrian Freehold a great migration of Andalsoccurredd, many adventurers and second sons of lords and kings left their homeland and invaded Westeros. The First Men and their Old Gods were beaten back, many of the First Man converted to the faith of the Seven-Who-Are-One and intermarried with the andals. The first House that was susceptive to the new faith was the House Hightower, so much so that they built the Starry Sept, the home of the first High Septon and the remaining High Septons until Baelor the Blessed built the Great Sept of Baelor. The Faith of the Seven became prominent within the Andal kingdoms in Westeros, having a strong Faith Militant which served as its scourge to punish sin. This changed when Aegon conquered Westeros. Soon, the united Crown and the Faith came into conflict, the Faith was disgusted at the incestuous relation of the old valyrian family, and in turn, the crown feared an organised and armed religion. Soon after Aegon’s death during the reign of Maegor the Cruel a great war erupted, between the Faith Militant and the Crown, peace was only achieved during the reign of Jaehaerys the Conciliator, where the Crown pledged to protect the Faith and in turn, the Faith would disband the Faith Militant. This, whilst bringing peace, weakened the Faith, making it more or less subservient to the Crown, turning the position of High Septon into a position of foul decadence and sin.

Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs): House Tarly, one of the oldest and strongest vassals sworn to house Tyrell. Unlike other houses of old the Tarlys bred soldiers, not Kings claiming no ancestral crown for themselves, as they are a house that is loyal to a fault. Randyll Tarly is a prominent and well respected battle commander who served the crown on numerous occasions, leading the armies during Robert's Rebellion to give him his first and only defeat. House Tarly's militant traditions play into this role of breeding commanders, with Savage Sam, slaying the Vulture King in open rebellion against the crown with the ancestral sword of their family. Heartsbane.
Although swearing allegiance to Renly House Tarly refused to swear fealty to Stannis upon the death of his King, slaying many Florent men in fear they would join Stannis’ cause. House Tarlys words are “First in Battle” this couldn't be truer for any House. Their fierce loyalty and knowledge of their place shows the Tarlys to be a trusted ally to any who seek them. However if opposing them, risk an enemy who would go to the ends of time to win.
