Festival of Roses

Here follows the notable NPCs in attendance for the Festival of Roses.

Canon Character
Second cousin, once removed, to Mace Tyrell - Lord of the Reach, Defender of the Marches, Warden of the South - and the only son in his branch of the family. Olymer is fourth in line to the seat of Highgarden, after Mace’s own sons. His father, Quentin, died at the Battle of Ashford fighting for the rebellion forces. For many years, his mother managed their holdings as dowager, until the boy came of age. Olymer is betrothed to Lysa Meadows.

Non-canon Character
Despite his grey hair and deepening lines on his face, Ser Androw is not past his prime yet. While it is true that he's not as nimble as he once was, he is in excellent health and can still hold his own in a joust, though he doesn't intend to participate in the displays at the Festival.

Non-canon Character
An aspiring young tow-headed knight, Harben hails from one of the Banner Houses sworn to the Meadows. Though he has sworn his blade to Lord Bromley, he is not a member of the household. The boy is clearly enamoured with the young Lysa Meadows.

Non-canon Character
The heir of House Dunn is a man of twenty, and still unmarried, as his father was at the same age. He certainly does not want for female companionship and, as his father shows no signs of being ready to step down as head of the Burrow, Covey is in no great hurry to settle and marry.

Non-Canon Character
Ser Rychard has been in service to Lord Meadows for a number of years. He was originally offered the position of Master-at-Arms when the previous Castellan decided to retire, but refused on the grounds that there was still too much he wanted to see and to do. He is competitive by nature, happiest when competing in the lists or hunting down poachers in the Green Forest. Rychard is unusual amongst his fellow knights for his use of a bow, a weapon disdained by most who are anointed.

Canon Character
It is not entirely unusual for knights and lords from the Stormlands to be invited to the Reach for events such as the Festival of Roses, especially for those holdings closest to the border between the two regions. House Penrose, however, has never been on the guest list prior to now. Elwood personally invited the knight, the pair having become firm friends in recent times.

Non-Canon Character
An unremarkable woman on the cusp of middle age, Shana may already be in her thirties, but it gets rather difficult to tell around that age.

Canon Character
A distant relative to the main branch of the Tyrell line, Lorent is little more than a landed knight. At 19, he has assumed control of his family's modest holdings following the recent death of his father. His mother, who never showed any interest in the stewardship of their land, was more than happy to pass the reins when illness claimed her husband. Now head of his household, Lorent is being pushed towards marriage.

Lacking the fair tresses of his kin, one could be forgiven for not realising Lorent is more than a man-at-arm bearing Tyrell colours.
