| − | ==Domains== | + | Following the crazed aggression of mad Lord Urgon Blackwood, Widow's Rest, along with its lands and incomes were claimed by Lord Angelo Deltario. Lord Angelo in turn raised up his house hold knight Ser Mortimer, known as the Hammer of Dawn, making him Lord of the sprawling Castle of Widow's Rest. Ser Mortimer and his new bride, Lady Bethany have begun repairing the damage that the mad Lord Urgon had caused. |

| | + | ==='''The Widow Wood'''=== |
| | + | Nestled between the mountains that run beside the Boneway and strange, sprawling castle Widow's Rest are the Widow Wood. Once a thick, foreboding forest, Lord Urgon clear cut much of the forest, reducing it to a thin patch of alpine timber. ''(Mountains, Light Woods. Lands: 12)'' |
| | + | * '''The Woodcutters of Widow-Wood''' While not nearly as impressive since Lord Urgon ordered the forest cut down, the Wood still supports a healthy supply of timber. ''(Timber Estate Holding with Lumber Mile Improvement. Wealth 10)'' |

| − | | + | ==='''Widow's Town'''=== |
| − | | + | At the base of the mountains, in the shadow of Widow's Rest, sits the small settlement of Widow's Town. Aptly named for the disproportionate number of families left fatherless, the Blackwoods were haunted by madness and for three generations they saw rebellion and treason everywhere. Men by the dozens met the Lord's "Justice" and a headsman's axe. The town rests in a gentle and fertile grassland, well defended by the strange and sprawling castle complex named Widow's Rest. ''(Plains, Grassland, Road and Small Town. Lands: 31)'' |
| − | | + | * '''Widow's Rest''': The Blackwoods have always been marked by madness, as did House Widow before them. Widow's Rest began hundreds of years ago as a small defensive hall along the Boneway, but was added onto and grew over the years. Unfortunately, each new addition was built without thought to the previous, and combined with the crazed rantings of its Lords, the castle sprawls in numerous directions with corridors that simply dead-end, rooms with no doors, and other oddities. While Widow's Rest is substantially larger than other castles in Dorne, its poor design makes it difficult to defend. ''(Small Castle Defensive Holding. Defense: 30)'' |
| − | | + | * '''The Widow-Wood Carvers''': The steady supply of fine alpine wood supported an extensive Guild of woodcarvers, whose skill and artistry was known throughout Dorne and beyond. The instability of the House combined with the recent siege, however, saw many of these skilled carvers flee for other domains. Still, several skilled master carvers remain, continuing their fabled work for their new Lord and Lady. ''(Artisan: Woodcarvers. Wealth: 10)'' |
| − | | + | * '''The Market''': Widow's Town rests immediately off of the Boneway, and it's location makes it an excellent location for merchants and tradesman. ''(Market Settlement Holding. Wealth 10)'' |

| − | * House Deltario began with the Andal's push into the deserts of Dorne. Considered one of the first Andal territories on the Sea of Dorne, the Deltario's have controlled Dawn's Point for thousands of years. Much of the Houses history is myth and fable and its true rise to power came with the Rhoynar. It was clear to Argus Deltario, Lord of the Coast, that Mors Martell and the Rhoynar forces clearly outmatched any other within the region, and when news reached Dawn's Point that these combined forces were on the march, Argus sailed immediately and was one of the first to swear to the new Prince. For his loyalty, Argus was awarded control of much of the western Coast of the Sea of Dorne.
| |
| − | * For nearly 400 years, the Deltario's retained control of this vast territory and were considered to be one of the most powerful and prosperous Houses in Dorne, rivaling the Yronwoods to the south. They held this territory for many decades into to the Targaryen attempts to conquer the region. Prior to Daeron I's successful conquest of the region, the Deltarios were admired for their vast trade empire, stretching as far as Astapor and Qarth, and became especially known for the exotic creatures they kept in Dawn's Point Castle. With the successful Targaryen conquest, House Deltario lost some of its control of the region, including House Wyl, whom had long since been one of their prized Banner Houses.
| |
| − | * Even still, the House remained powerful, but was not free of its own bitter treachery. Some seventy years ago during the reign of Aegon V the Unlikely, the Goldmine in the Nine Claws began to exhaust. Darrak Deltario, then Lord of the House, dispatched his trusted younger brother Daemian Deltario to oversee prospecting along the other hill ranges adjacent to the Nine and entrusted him with Claw Keep. The young Deltario took to the task with great fervor, as with the passing of Darrak's wife and child, Daemian was named heir. Within three months, a vast gold vein was discovered several miles from Sungold Hall. Suddenly renewed wealth poured into the great House and the Dawnsport seemed to be on the verge of becoming the Sunspear of the West.
| |
| − | * But just as this great windfall was fully blowing upon them, the House was struck by scandal. Without warning, Darrak Deltario remarried to a common girl, said to come from the Bed of Lillys (the Brothel not far from Riggon's Ribs). To complicate matters, the Lord announced that his new wife was with child. Outraged, Daemian seized Claw Keep, nearly half of the House army and rebelled. For two years, bitter fighting spilt Dornishmen blood upon the sand. Slowly though, Darrak and his Bannermen gained the advantage, cutting off Daemian from his Sungold supporters. They encircled the rebellious lord within Claw Keep and laid siege, but Daemian had prepared for the worst, and had stockpiled supplies within Hill-heart mine. Realizing that the siege would not drive Daemian to surrender, Darrak ordered his men to burn the keep with all inside. The burnt out ruins became known as Daemian's Doom, he then made his forces ready to attack Sungold.
| |
| − | * The Knights of Sungold, however, had not been idle. Realizing Daemian was defeated, the Sungolds had secretly sent overtures to the Yronwoods, pledging their loyalty and the wealth of their mine in exchange for the Houses protection. The Deltarios and the Yronwoods had been at odds for generations, leading to outright battle when the Yronwoods sided with the Daemon Blackfyre during his rebellion some forty years prior. When Darrak and his forces arrived, they were met by the forces of Yronwood, and saw Yronwood flag hung on the ramparts. Darrak demanded the traitorous Knights be handed over to him, and their lands returned, but the Yronwoods refused. His forces exhausted, Darrak had no choice but to return home.
| |
| − | * Veneta, Darrak's wife, bore him two sons, Davic and Linden. Linden was sent to family friends in Sunspear while he was still a boy. Darrak, fearful of another potential rebellion during Davic's reign, wished to ensure no challengers would be present. He died a short time later. Davic's rule was uneventful, though the house continued to decline slowly, that is until the Blackfyres returned to Westeros. When word reached of the Targaryan counter offensive in the Stepstones, the Deltarios were called to action. At the onset, Davic Deltario's ship was lost at sea, and his youngest son Mica died during the push through the Golden Company at the close of the war.

Daemian rises up against his brother's indignity, using House Sungold as his support.
