House Dane

House Dane is a new and militaristic house founded after the War of the Ninepenny Kings to defend the Stoney Shore. They have done little to establish a reputation, but Ferris Dane is known as an honourable and distinguished warrior, though his sons have a less positive reputation. Despite their newness, the Danes are wealthy, strong and well-positioned.

History
Ferris Dane was a sword sword of House Ryswell before the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Ferris was second-in-command of the Ryswell host, and his leadership earned him a lordship upon the War's close, naming him Lord of the Stoney Shore and lending him the money and men to construct a castle on the Shore. He became the first line of defense against ironborn on the Stoney Shore, and built a strong force to repel the raiders. Though some houses look down on Ferris's humble origins and his house's recent founding, it is an invaluable defense on the isolated Stoney Shore.

Ferris married Melara Tremaine, and the couple's three sons have just begun to establish the house in the North. Rickard Dane has largely followed his father, becoming a respected battle commander and leader. Torrhen Dane is a wordly and well-traveled man who has been across the sea and far away, and has taken personal command of the elite Daneshield cavalry. The final son, Eberhart Dane, has a darker reputation; it is said his wife stays in her quarters until meals are served and when she emerges she is bloody and bruised.

Defense Holdings
Small Castle: Daneshield. A small but defensible fortress, Daneshield is built into a hill and can only be effectively attacked from the front, which looks over the Stoney Shore. It has withstood numerous attacks by Iron Islanders, and withstood a major siege during Balon Greyjoy's Rebellion. Outside of it lies Stoney Town, which the Danes claim has never been truly taken.
