Wylla Wyl is the current ruling Lady of Wyl. She inherited the castle upon her father's death in 83 AC during the Fourth Dornish War. She was only a girl of four years at the time and was forced into a regency until her sixteenth name day. She has now been ruling in her own name for three years and has developed a knack for economics. Unlike her namesake, Wylla the warrior-maid, the Lady of Wyl is focused on statecraft above martial ability. But, as any good Wyl, the art of intimidation is not lost on her. She is the great granddaughter of the infamous Wyl of Wyl and not a woman that you want to cross.

Character and Appearance Edit

Wylla, like many of those from the Red Mountains of Dorne, is fair of skin and blonde with dark blue eyes. She is a short woman with a svelte figure but is very modest with her dress. The Lady of Wyl can attend to her duties as Lady with ease but also enjoys a more physical lifestyle. She is known to be found out riding horses in the Boneway and along the coast frequently. When not riding horses or ruling, another hobby of hers is learning, the young Lady of Wyl can never get enough of lessons on agriculture and economics.

Wylla is a tidy woman who likes to keep everything in it's place. Anything being left out of place will surely trigger an urge to fix it, even if it is in somebody else's home. Much as her belongings all have a place, so too do her words and many complain that the Lady of Wyl is often vague when speaking but this is often by design as she is careful to make sure she doesn't say anything that can be misconstrued when she genuinely doesn't know the answer to something. She is a modest and chaste woman but can tend to be greedy when it comes to money and rewards.

History Edit

Wylla Wyl was born under on the 20th day of the 4th moon during the 79th year after Aegon's Conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. It was a complicated birth for her mother, Jocelyn Dalt, but in the end proved to be without complication. The difficult nature of her birth was just Wylla displaying her stubbornness from the outset of her life. She was the third child and first daughter Lord Willem Wyl and Jocelyn Dalt and, by all standards, should have never been in line to inherit the family's lands.

That all changed in 83 AC when the Fourth Dornish War broke out. Her father marched with her two older brothers. Meanwhile, Wylla remained at home with her mother and younger sister Arianne Wyl. She was only a girl of four and had no real grasp of the situation at hand. Four members of House Wyl had marched away but the only to return was Wyland Sand. A green, 12 year old boy who had been serving as his father's page. Lord Willem and his two oldest sons, Nymor and Mallor, all perished in battle. In an instant, Wylla Wyl became the Lady of Wyl at only four years of age.

Throughout the years that followed Wylla was raised to rule. Her mother served as her regent until she turned 16. On her sixteenth nameday Wylla took over ruling in her own name and she thrived. Wyl had been sieged, the lands damaged, during the Fourth Dornish War. Wylla wanted to see them repaired and even prospering. She mastered Agriculture to be able to promote sustainability around Wyl. The River Wyl was there and she saw no reason they couldn't cultivate their own crops on it's banks. Likewise, she took great attention to economics and commerce. To do business with Dorne, numerous caravans would have to pass through the Boneway, Wylla invited them. Taverns, brothels, and inns all began to establish themselves and prosper in the first few years of Wylla's reign.

However, don't let the Wylla's mind for statecraft distract you from the fact she is a Wyl. In 97 AC, Wylla heard musings of forces within her castle that were conspiring against her in favor of her uncle, Wyman Wyl. The Lady of Wyl acted quickly and decisively to quell any ill sentiments towards her. To her knowledge her uncle had not known of the plots, that did not save him, he was hung in an iron cage above a pit of vipers for three days. Any who wished to replace Lady Wylla with her uncle would have to cross the pit of vipers to get him out. Wyman had the most merciful of the punishments. Wyman Wyl was only released when he reswore an oath of fealty to his niece but even with his loyalty reaffirmed he did not remain in Wyl. Wylla saw her uncle banished to Sunspear while his children were free to follow him if they so chose. There were three individuals from the keep's staff who Wylla found guilty of conspiracy. One had her tongue removed so she might whisper behind Wylla's back no longer. A second had her fingers trimmed down two knuckles so that she might write no more notes that spread lies of Lady Wylla. The last had his member removed so that he might sire no children who would inherit his treachery. Then, all three were cuffed together and drug into the Red Mountains. It was in Vulture's Roost where they were left, still bound together, with no food, no water, and no clothing. In a weeks time the Lady of Wyl herself went to check on the exiles. All were dead and rotting with it clear that vulture's had been feasting on their corpses. Wylla Wyl might not have become the warrior that her namesake Wylla the Warrior-Maid had been but she was no less fierce and anybody would be remiss to forget that.
