Nyx Blackgard

Nyx Blackgard became Lady of House Blackgard of the Ebonheart Castle and Blackpool at just fifteen. It wasn't a title she wanted. Her mother died giving birth to her brother, Darion. Her father, a strong warrior, fell from his horse, seemingly a tragic accident. But whispers of foul play lingered. The weight of suspicion and loss crushed him. Ebonheart Castle loomed over the foggy Ashlands, a reminder of her responsibilities. She had to protect Darion and their people. Duty drove her. He immersed himself in history, studying battles and politics. Hours spent training with a sword honed her skills. She needed to be a leader. Trade kept the Blackguard name alive, but the land was unforgiving. The volcanic soil yielded little, yet they thrived on metalwork. Nyx learned to negotiate fiercely, understanding that strength wasn’t just in war but in words. The scars of her past shaped her. Loss made her honorable, pushing her to uphold her family’s legacy. Each decision was a step to ensure safety and prosperity. Nyx wasn’t just a Lady; she was a protector, a sister, and a woman forged by fire and grief. House Blackgard is now sworn to House Tully and War is brewing between the Riverlands-North Alliance and the Lannisters-Crown.
