Arthur Dayne
Ser Arthur Dayne, known as the Sword of the Morning, is a revered and legendary knight from House Dayne and a member of Aerys II Targaryen's Kingsguard. He is the brother of Lord Dayne, Lady Ashara Dayne and Lady Allyria Dayne. He is Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's closest friend. Arthur wields the great sword called Dawn
as part of his office as Sword of the Morning, carrying it slung across his back. His accomplishments include defeating the Kingswood Brotherhood. He got the smallfolk of the kingswood to love him by paying for what he and his forces took and taking their grievances before King Aerys II Targaryen. In the end he slew the Smiling Knight in single combat and ended the threat of the Brotherhood. Following that victory, he knighted Jaime Lannister, who would later become a sworn brother of the Kingsguard. Arthur broke twelve lances against Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in a tourney held at Storm's End, losing to the prince. At the Tourney at Harrenhal, he was defeated by Rhaegar once again. A year later, Arthur, along with his other sworn brother Ser Oswell Whent, aided Rhaegar in the kidnap of Lyanna Stark. During the ensuing rebellion, their lord commander, Ser Gerold Hightower, was sent to find Rhaegar when the war started to become out of hand. When he found the crown prince, Gerold stayed with his two Kingsguard brothers in the Red Mountains of Dorne, on the orders of the Rhaegar. |
Ashara Dayne
Ashara Dayne {Born 257 AC} is a noblewoman of House Dayne. She is the sister of Lord Dayne, Ser Arthur Dayne and Allyria Dayne. She has a reputation for great beauty. Many men were infatuated with her, including Barristan Selmy and possibly Eddard Stark. Ashara is a lady-in-waiting to Princess Elia Targaryen. Ashara was present at the Tourney at Harrenhal, where she danced with several men, including Eddard Stark after he requested it through his brother Brandon to speak with her. Later that night, A Stark bedded Ashara and she fell pregnant soon after. After the execution of Lord Rickard Stark, Queen Rhaella assisted Ashara Dayne, by helping conceal a supposedly deceased Lord Brandon Stark in the dungeons, to the King's unawares. Ashara only confessed to Queen Rhaella and Princess Rhaenys that in fact her baby's father was none other then Brandon Stark, which would explain her reasoning to save his life. When the War of the Usurper began, Ashara left the responsibility of tending to Brandon in the hand's of the queen, before she travelled home to Dorne in preparation for her child's birth.
