House Reed from Greywater Watch rules the crannogmen, small men who live in swamps and marshes from the Neck. Their liege lords are the Starks of Winterfell. They first swore their oaths of fealty to House Stark when the Starks were Kings of the North, reportedly thousands of years ago.

Their arms are a black lizard-lion on grey-green.

House Reed are the southern-most house of the North. They control the vast area of swampland and bog stretching across the narrowest part of the continent of Westeros, the Neck. Their castle supposedly moves on a floating island.

In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, the crannogmen of the Neck are gifted and talented hunters and warriors. They have an ages-old feud with House Frey, who rule the lands immediately to the south. The Reeds came to the attention of their overlords, House Stark, when Howland Reed met Eddard Stark at a tournament at Harrenhal. Howland Reed and Eddard Stark became fast friends and allies. Aside from Eddard, Howland was the only survivor of the battle at the Tower of Joy, on the occasion of Lyanna Stark's death.

Jojen Reed is Howland Reed's only son and Meera Reed's younger brother. Jojen has greensight, the power of prophetic dreams. Jojen recognizes Bran Stark's skinchanging ability. Though he never demonstrates the ability himself, Jojen helps Bran gain more discipline to use the power properly.

======================================================

Looks: All of the reed seem to be rather yellow/pale tones not like an asian but bit more brown then that of normal nords. Their hair long and brown, thick shiny. Eyes as green as the forrest, unnaturally green.

Special abilities in the blood of reed were greensight and skinchanger or warg. These abilities would only be known by the elders of the house and not brought to the younger lines within the family until the older found them ready.

======================================================

History
Howland Reed first met the Starks during the Tourney at Harrenhal, when he was beset by rowdy squires and protected by Lyanna Stark. Later, a mystery challenger dubbed the Knight of the Laughing Tree entered the joust to defend his honor, though the knight's true identity remains unknown. Howland fought alongside Eddard during Robert's Rebellion, and accompanied Eddard to the Tower of Joy to reclaim Eddard's abducted sister Lyanna. Only he and Eddard survived, and Eddard once claimed that Howland Reed saved his life from Ser Arthur Dayne. Since the end of that conflict, Lord Reed has not left the Neck. With Eddard's death, Howland is apparently the only remaining person to have witnessed the mysterious events that took place in the tower that day.

Current family will be updated with each new member that joins.

Know that one to be a Reed must be a honorable person. One who would look at justice more then his/hers own winning.

Present Family (will update with each new member)
======================================================

At the moment I am the Lord of House Reed, the story goes as Johyem took his fathers place once he had wanderd off to the afterlife and are now doing his best to walk in his fathers footsteps. Below Johyem would be his Daughter

I am open for more people to be my children or bastards, sisters and brothers would work as well. Even cousins and uncles/aunts. Just write it up in a story after reading into the rest of us.

======================================================
Createing your Character
======================================================

So now I hope you feel rather prepared to begin writing on your background story for your character.
How are you as a person?
What has happend during your childhood? Anything special or just a normal growth?
Do you have a pet or so growing up with you?
Values of your character? Honor, justice etc...
Any drama happend in your past?
Special skills brought up during your child hood?
((Do note to make it realistic and not overdoing some sort of godly beeing))

After you've done your story send it to me Jacckiiee Resident "Johyem Reed" for approval and I will come back to you with thoughts and ideas to perhaps improve your character or fix something that seems odd. Dont worry we are a very laid back relaxed family.

======================================================

All done

Hope to see you in our family
