Appearance and Character Edit

Harwyn is built tall and broad, with his muscles already fairly defined thanks to his constant exercise and practice. Rather messy dark brown hair covered his head, usually swept out of his face, and his face was still without significant hair. Harwyn dressed simply, in the same fashion as his father, usually preferring tunics and pants made out of wool or leather.

Harwyn eats, sleeps, and breathes the Ironborn life, which shows in his dedication to both the Islands and to the Drowned God. He spends long hours honing his sword arm, body, and his strategic mind, having always posessed a rather disciplined and bright personality. There is nothing more important to him than following the old way, though he is pragmatic enough to know when too much of the old way is too much. Though a very skilled fighter, and exceptional commander for his age, the only joy Harwyn takes in bloodshed is the appeasement of the Drowned God. His devotion to the Drowned Faith has essentially cut off any outside ambition from reaching him, and thus, he wants for little.

The Prince of the Iron Islands is sociable enough, and possesses the same frank, to the point demeanor that many other Ironborn have. When in his cups, which he so often is after a day of training, he could even be considered gregarious. However, what almost nobody knows about Harwyn is his seeming lack of attraction to women, or men for that matter. While most boys would look at a girl with desire, Harwyn, even when desperately digging deep through himself felt not even the slightest trace of lust. It is secretly a source of shame for him, as he feels that it threatens the image of a "perfect Ironborn" he has built up in his mind.

History Edit

Birth and Childhood at Old Wyk Edit

Harwyn was born on the 19th of the 6th Moon in the year 81 AC to the King of the Iron Islands, Urragon Drumm, and his Queen, Lyanna Greyjoy. Even as a babe, he was large, and filled with energy. From as early as he could walk, he could be found running around Old Wyk with his brother, Dagon.

Like almost all Ironborn, Harwyn was raised in the Drowned Faith, and was quite close with the priest Cromm Kingmaker, relying on the harbinger for spiritual guidance. This would result in Harwyn being quite faithful to the Drowned God from a young age, even more so than the average Ironborn.

As he grew older, it was clear that Harwyn would become a great warrior, no doubt aided by the brain behind the brawn. He took very well to his studies, especially those involving military strategy. His sword arm was strong, and of his own initiative, he trained and exercised his body constantly, much to the pleasure of his usually distant father. His mother, Lyanna, was quite proud of the man her son was growing up into, and showed her love when she could. He formed a rather strong relationship with his older brother, Dagon, though his aggression came off a bit strong at times, and the two were prone to the usual fighting that can entail between brothers.

Raiding the Summer Isles Edit

Now of ten and six, Harwyn would see his first true taste of combat during the Raid of the Summer Isles in 98 AC, accompanying his uncle, Veron, as well as Dagon and several others in his newly built warship, the Iron Hand. The Crimson Fleet sailed deep into the sunset sea before moving to feast on the Summer Isles. Harwyn was amazed to see the swan ships with his own two eyes, and though he was happy at the seemed appeasement of the Drowned God, he took no particular pleasure in the fighting itself.

Unlike many of his fellow Ironborn, Harwyn took no salt wife, and took little of the well-deserved look for himself. Dagon would tease Harwyn for his "lack of conquests" when it came to women, but no lust rose in Harwyn when he looked upon a woman. There were a few that believed Harwyn was inclined to the comfort of other men, but the truth was that he wasn't drawn to any bodily comforts. This would be something that would start to slowly eat away at him.

But, with his first bout of combat done, Harwyn has established himself as a true warrior amongst the Ironborn, and many would see the ferocity and devotion to the Islands he showed during the raids.
