Appearance and Character Edit

Joron is attractive enough for an Ironborn. He has a lean build with broad shoulders. Years of reaving has left him with sinewy muscle. On his head lays a mop of messy brown hair that is kept relatively short. His eyes are dark grey, like the waters surrounding Saltcliffe.

Joron, compared to other Ironborn, is a tempered and calculating spirit. He is not necessarily quiet but he is much calmer than his brethren. His disposition is usually pleasant though it can change to cold anger in an instant. He follows the old ways relatively strictly and shows contempt for most who are not Iron Born. He is not against turning on his family for the better of the house, deposing his own nephwq for lordship. A skilled commander and admiral Joron is a raider through and through.

Biography Edit

Early Life Edit

Joron was born shortly after the conclusion of the War for the Seadragon Throne. His father, Baelor Saltcliffe, stayed out of the war for the most part and only a few moons prior to Joron’s birth did he bend the knee to Lodos Drumm. Joron was the second son and third child of Baelor Saltcliffe and Sygarda Blacktyde.

Joron barely remembers the reign of King Lodos. He remembers his father going out to reave the mainland and bringing back a new Thrall or Salt wife, much to his mother’s moderate displeasure. Occasionally she would go on reaves with Baelor leaving Joron and his elder brother and sister in the care of Ygon Saltcliffe, their uncle. Harwyck, the eldest son, was enamored with reaving and the old ways. Of course Harwyck was too young at the time but whenever he could he was ditch his studies to go train with the master-at-arms at castle Saltcliffe. Harwyck was more physically apt and more coordinated than Joron. Bealor frequently exclaimed how proud he was of Harwyck because of his physical prowess. Joron received praise as well of course but not from Baelor. Instead it came from his mother, Uncle, or aunt. His elder sister, Meera, took after Sygarda. She was a warrior through and through with a mind for battle. She would even pose a challenge for Harwyck at times. Sygarda spent much of her time instructing Meera on various things. This left little Joron alone most of the time. It was Ygon who saved him from his mind numbing boredom. Ygon was the captain of one of the warships in the Saltcliffe’s fleet: The Dreaded Promise. He was a, self-proclaimed, genius at Naval combat and told Joron many stories of battles he had fought. His wife, Tess Stonehouse, was a queer Ironborn women interested in money and finances. She taught him many things as well about those subjects as well. Frequently, she pointed out how the Saltcliffe treasury was in the shitter. Though Joron didn’t fully understand what the two were beginning to teach him he did find it interesting at the very least.

In 89 AC Lodos’ ship was dashed against the rocks and the crown was passed on to his son, Urragon Drumm. Urragon’s new rule of banning Greenland raiding was frowned upon by both his father and Harwyck, who was preparing to go on his first raid next year. Meera and Sygarda seemed to not care and Joron didn’t really understand why it mattered; he was too young. The next few years continued as they had for the past nine, with the exception that Harwyck began joining his father on Essosi raids. Meera spent more time with her mother and travelled between Blacktyde and Saltcliffe frequently. Joron spent most of his time with his studies or with Ygon or Tess. He also spent lots of time with his half-brother, Wulfgar Pyke. Who had recently come to live at castle Saltcliffe due to the death of his mother.

The New Lord Edit

This all changed in 95 AC. The raids in the Cinnamon Straights had been successful. Harwyck brought back a beautiful Salt wife from Volantis, Trianna Belerys, and they had a son, Andrik. This birth did kill Trianna though. Harwyck was fully grown and could cut a man’s arm off with a swing of his massive axe with ease. Baelor was inflated with pride over his son’s prowess. Meera was off challenging men, “if you can beat me you can fuck me,” sort of mentality. Joron wishes he never heard her say that and he never asked if she won or lost bouts. Joron, now 15, was a fine young Ironborn but not much good with an axe. The upcoming raid in the Rhoyne was meant to be his first. His father clapped him on the back and mentioned that if he just followed Harwyck and him all would be well. Joron just nodded, it was the first time his father had taken an invested interest him. It was a nice change, but unfortunately a short lived one. Sygarda, Wulfgar, and Meera stayed behind.

It was smooth sailing around the coast of Dorne and by the Step Stones. The Volantene fleet was waiting for them as they neared the mouth of the Rhoyne. Joron, remembering much of Ygon’s musings, advised Harwyck to perform a maneuver that would give them an advantage. Harwyck simply laughed and proceeded to ram right into a Volantene boat then storming onto it. Joron watched his father get decapitated almost immediately. Of course, Harwyck thought it would be a good idea to charge in afterword. Hawryck, despite his combat aptitude, could not fight an entire ship nearly alone. He was killed shortly after boarding. Joron, within five minutes, lost his father and older brother. The connotations of what that meant were lost on him as he screamed orders at the men in a desperate attempt to survive. It was his first time commanding but the men listened to him for the most part. Joron, despite not loving his father or brother entirely too much swore vengeance. When Joron returned he took over Lordship of Saltcliffe, usurping it from his young nephew Andrik, and became the Herald of Saltcliffe he returned to the Rhoyne with a small host of Saltcliffe ships and slaughtered many peasants along the banks. He stopped in Lys on his way back and managed to coerce a ‘thrall’ to return with him. Visena Sathmantes was her name and she was the most beautiful women he had ever seen. Upon his return he made her his Salt Wife immediately. Joron doesn’t necessarily love her but what he feels for her is somewhat similar due to this fact she enjoys many luxuries a Salt Wife normally would not.

He worked hard to become the warrior he had never been and while he was never as skilled as his sister he became a man worth avoiding in battle. In 98 AC his first son, Donnor Saltcliffe, was born. He, Wulfgar, and Meera joined on the raid in the summer islands, by this time he was an apt naval commander and fought well against the exotic Swan ships found there.

After Attending the Funeral in Kings landing he fell ill on his way to Dorne. The sickness nearly killed him but he has recently been able to get up and move around. He now sailed back to Pyke where King Urragon Drumm declared war on the Iron Throne. During the war Saltcliffe forces sacked the town of Ryamsport and had the run of the island till Drumm's death and Veron's accention as the new Lord Reaver. When Veron died Saltcliffe sided with their Blacktyde cousins and fought in the battle that killed Veron's heir. They remain loyal to House Blacktyde and fought with them again against House Redwyne, though they disapproved of bringing them into the fold.
