One user posted this as the current status of the fluff. Are we all good with it?
Our current lord is Camryn Malbrand. He was studying to be a maester when his father and elder brother died at war (we haven't decided which), and he had to return to the family hall in the westlands. He soon married (first name undecided) Banefort, and sired twins, boy and girl. While his father had no liking for the old tales of dark magic and duplicity that shrouded the family history the same is not so for Camryn. He was stepping proudly into the fringes of acceptable practice at the citadel, and is intent on reclaiming the guile of his ancestors, if not their relics and rumored powers.
We still need agreement on words, banner, and probably a shit ton of other stuff. Characters spring to mind.
Also, what have we got for our Maester? Our lord used to be one, so is this some buddy from the citadel who he brought with him after he left?

Isn't there already a canon house with that name?
Grayson Powell
There's house Marbrand. An user proposed the name, and everyone liked it, ran with it, and fluffed it a bit, but then someone pointed out that it was a canon house. It was too late by that point, so we decided that since the dice said that our house went all the way back to the Age of Heroes, House Marbrand is a cadet branch of house Malbrand, who vastly outperformed them, and thrived while Malbrand declined.
At least, I think that's what we decided.

A friend and colleague that holds a similar interest in the arcane as we do sounds good.
James Russell
Cool. Did they get kicked out, or are they really a Maester? My guess is that they're an actual Maester who decided to leave the citadel (Do Maesters graduate or something? I don't remember much about them.) and come with Camryn when his father and elder brother died, and he was forced to become the Lord of house Malbrand.

Okay, to keep us off of page 10, how about we talk about our banner. It should have something to do with our name or our history, so probably something to do with a brand or a betrayal. Here's a couple ideas:
>Gules field charged with two argent daggers, tip down (I don't know the word for that.) >Argent field with gules pile as ordinary. Charged with sealion and fox combatant, both gules (Sealion for proximity to sea and allegiance to Lannisters, Fox for cunning. The pile could be seen as a bloody spike driven into the field.) >Sable, a saltire engrailed argent (Doesn't mean much of anything, I just thought it would look cool.)

Here's a randomly rolled one from the book that I threw together.
Saw that in the last thread. The design's pretty cool, but I'm personally not in love with the motto.
Ryan Miller
Yeah, I wasn't in love with it either. I used this website, I personally like this site a lot better than the other one we were using.
