Rickard Stark
Lord of Winterfell
Age: 19
Region: The North
Bio
Rickard Stark was born the second son of Lord Brandon Stark, in the year 392 A.C. He was a humble boy, well spoken from a young age. In the same way his older brother Benjen took to squiring, Rickard felt naturally drawn to the teachings of the Old Gods. His youth was spent enamored by stories of Ice Giants and creatures of myth beyond the wall, though he had never had the chance to witness it himself. Until one day, at the age of thirteen, he was given a vision while deep in prayer. The Wirewood of Winterfell spoke to him, its mouth of bark straining with every word, it's eyes bleeding crimson sap. It warned of the future, and of his families demise. As a fearful adolescent, he swore himself to the old gods, in exchange for the power to preserve the Stark legacy.
Despite his introspective nature, Rickard was a diligent study of all things. When he was not busy preaching of the Old Gods will, he was dedicating himself to the art of the sword. He reveled in it, feeling himself drawn closer to divinity every time he practiced. There were many things Benjen was better at than Rickard, however despite their difference in age, the sword was not among them.
Within the first few months of his sixteenth name day, plague struck the North. Many perished, including Rickard's father, Lord Brandon, and his brother, Benjen, leaving the lands Lordless in a time of great need. Fearful of the Wirewood's warning, Rickard took it upon himself to purify the lands of it's sickness. He assumed his role as heir to Winterfell, forsaking a betrothal to Triss Baratheon and ordered region wide dedication to the Gods. He promised that prayer could lift the blight, and it did. Making the connection between Rickard and the Gods, the people of the North found a great love for their Lord. Since then, he has ruled with a steadfast resolve and dedication to the religion of his forefathers.
