Character's Personal History:
Tiernan Blackwood was born the first son of Antaine Blackwood and Doris Bracken. His birth was hailed as an incredible moment in the Riverlands, one that many never though possible. He was the first child born of a union of the main branches of these two houses in recorded history, such was their bitter hatred for one another. The cause of the emnity had long been forgotten, but each new generation had found new reason for grievance and vengeance despite that, as blood was spilled regularly.

Tiernan's grandfathers were wiser men that those who come before them though, and they knew that their two houses truely shared more in common than in contrast. While they kept different gods, beyond that, they were Riverlanders through and through, and too much time had been spent fighting between men of the Trident. They arranged for their firstborns to be promised to one another when the children were only babes.

Antaine and Doris grew up as the closest of friends, with the heir to Blackwood fostering with the Brackens. Their marriage when they came of age, became just an extension of that friendship, and gradually they were blessed with five children, three boys and two girls.

Tiernan himself grew up a quiet boy, never timid, but not wasteful with his words either. He didn't seem to be interested in normal boy activities, sparring with wooden swords or riding horses never appealed to him (the latter to the disappointment of his Bracken mother). He read books voraciously though, and never seemed daunted by tasks his maester would set him. 

Despite his general reticence people who came to know him as he grew into adulthood spoke well of him, and he made friendly acquaintances easily and often. But true companions he had few enough of, truely, only his two younger brothers could be counted as such.

At 24, Tiernan's lack of a wife and family is something that has become a point of consternation between him and his lord father. Antaine's patience with his son's refusal to wed has reached it's limit, and it will soon be forced upon him if he does not find a suitable match himself soon.

Character's Personal History:
The second son of the Blackwood family filled the gap that had been left when Tiernan chose to generally shun a martial lifestyle. While the older brother was bookish and withdrawn, Lorcan was outgoing and amiable. Often cited as an excellent example of a young noble, the boy loved hunting, swordplay and learning of war.

Like his father before him, Lorcan was fostered for several years at Stone Hedge with his mother's family. His maternal grandfather was a stern and disciplined man, who saw that the boy was squired to his very best knight - Ser Winston Darry.

Darry was a bear of a man, who wielded a spiked mace with relish. To an untrained eye, watching Darry fight was like watching a drunk man stumble about the place, but the knight's coordination and awareness were much more than they seemed. He would always know right where an opponent was, and would spin around just in time to catch them across the jaw.

While Lorcan's own style never came to resemble the knights, he learned much about misdirection and controlling an opponent through understanding Ser Winston.

Character's Physical Description: His scratchy brown beard hides a strong jaw. His youthful eyes tend to catch the light in a manner that many find attractive. Taller and broader than his other two brothers.
