Sorella Coldrayne

Intro Sorella Coldrayne knew the biting wind of Silver Peak. The valley's endless snow, unusual for the Stormlands, shaped her early years. It fostered a dreamer's mind, full of heroic songs and gallantry. She saw honor in every tale. Her House, the Coldraynes, had deep roots, even to Aegon’s Conquest. They stood close to the Baratheons, her kinsmen. She adored King Robert, seeing a kindred spirit in his boisterous life. People often said she had more Baratheon blood in her veins than Coldrayne. This close bond made his death a crushing blow. Her elder brother, Lord Brendan, showed her the weight of their duty. He taught her about Ice Fury, their Valyrian steel sword, its stag-antler handle a constant reminder of their shared lineage. With 15,000 bannermen, the Coldraynes held significant power. This power, meant for protection, now served a war for succession. Sorella felt the burden keenly. Her deeply caring nature clashed with the brutal truth of brother fighting brother. Her ideals of a noble war now faced a harsh, bloody reality. This conflict hardened her, yet her empathy remained.
