Plotting Rules and Guidelines (directly copied from ze Mods plotting set):
✦ When it comes to plotting, you can plot with individual characters or the whole house. You do NOT have to plot with everyone in the house, don't feel obligated to but I want you to at least plot a relationship with the house
✦ I definitely encourage political backstabbing, intrigue and fighting as well as political alliances through marriage and the like
✦ Please put some thought into your suggestions
✦ If I say no, I don't just mean no, we can work on a different way to tackle the relationships
✦ Have fun and remember…when you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die, there is no middle ground

☾; Common traits
As highborn Valyrians, the majority of the Velaryon's inherit Valyrian traits of silver-gold hair and deep purple eyes, the eyes are the strongest of these traits. Regardless of any Westerosi blood, nearly all Velaryon's are born with purple eyes, and have at least blonde or platinum hair, if not their traditional silver-gold. They are also often born with the traits and abilities of Dragonlords, even after the Dance of the Dragons, which resulted in the near-annihilation of the species.

☾; Culture
Valyrian
☾; Blood
of the dragon, aka one of the 40 noble families vying for power in the Valyrian Freehold. There is also some blood of the Andals and the First Men from marrying native Westerosi, but not enough to significantly dilute the blood of the dragon.

Blackwater Bay, The Crownlands

prior to 114BC
☾; Founder
Unknown

• Overview:
House Velaryon came to Westeros some time before their close Valyrian allies, House Targaryen, and were amongst the first to pledge fealty to the conquerors without any protest. In fact (canonically), the mother of the Conquerors; Visenya, Aegon, and Rhaenys Targaryen, was Valaena Velaryon. A number of Velaryon's served on Aegon's council, and their close relationship and inter-marriages continued over the three centuries of Targaryen rule. During the War of Shadows, they sided with House Targaryen, but bent the knee when their side lost.

Plotting suggestions
- the former (or current) lady of House Velaryon, mother to Aurane, Jaecaerys, and Shiera
- mother to Falia Waters (can be a highborn lady or a servant in your household)
- a former house for Maester Gerold and Septa Rohanne (as when either take their vows, they renounce their surname, but that doesn't mean they renounce their relationships, especially in the world of ice and fire)
- everyone is open for affairs (current and historic), except for Lucerys, as he's just a baby.
- a betrothal for Jaecaerys which the betrothed house (maybe including or not including his betrothed) are very keen to break, seeing as he's dying. -- taken
