Description
House Parren, is a noble House of the Westerlands sworn to House Lannister of the Rock.
They blazon their arms with per saltire: burgundy and white stripes, a black lion's head on gold.
The House was formed from a union of First Men with Andal nobles, during the coming of the Andals to the Westerlands.
During the reign of King Maegor I, Lord Parren joined Prince Aegon and his host in the Battle beneath the God's Eye.
During the reign of King Daeron I the Good, they took part in the Tourney of Ashford Meadow, as their banners were spotted by Ser Duncan the Tall.
According to our own backstory in which we based the making of our project, House Parren is a family of hatefull idiots. They fight each other like dogs constantly on minor matters and frequently for the Lordship. The House used to be kindoff powerfull for a small period, but have subsequently lost almost everything than their current lands. They are despised by all major Houses of the Westerlands, each for their own reasons.
Also, even though it is stated by semi canon sources that the House is extinct, we decides to make the House not extinct at all, as it only semi canon, and not fully canon.
In respect to the semi canon information, we decided to make the family semi "extinct", basicaly the main branch died off, but a cadet one, which lived in Lannisport has now taken over, continuing the familys bad reputation in Westeros.
Features
The lands of House Parren is filled with mines, although most of them are dried up, and only two are operational, a testament to the House's failing nature.
At /warp Parrenseptry, theres an ancient small westerlands septry, built by some pious lord almost 1000 years ago. It is one of the suprisingly well preserved landmarks of the lands, due to the septry's lucrative buiseness, producing fine statues of stone, from the local quarry, honey and wax candles. It is a building with fortification features, like multiple yards, and a clear view of the Valley.
At /warp Parrenham2 there's an old watchtower, guarding the one of the 3 main passages into the Valley.
At /warp Parrenham3, close to which most of the silver mines are located, there are several troglodyte homes, homes dug in the mountain with stone facades.
Nearby there is an ancient hermitage, with a small sept made inside a ancient vaulted tomb.
The valley is covered by forrest which covers the sides of the mountains. Along with them, theres also a hidden valley, with many ancient secrets lying below and above the earth.
All across the valley there can be found remains of the first men, from Weirwood stumps to ancient tombs dyg deep in the mountains. Along with them, one might find the occasional sheperds huts, whicb ussualy stand one the more mountainous terrain, and are used by the shepherds in summer.
Construction
At first, we focused on reshaping the valley and finishing the castle.
During the start of lockdown, we started working on the main settlement which was finished rather quickly.
Later on, we started working on the minor settlements, the hamlets and buildings, and at the same time worked on finishing the terrain and making the fields.
After all that we focused on the nature details, like forrests, boulders, streams and such.
After finishing those, we made the streams and lakes. And then Parren was finished.
Inspiration
Main inspiration for the Valley was Northern, Alpine Italy, along with small features from Greek Mountains.
The Castle itself is inspired, or rather almost copied by the Citadel of the Acropolis of Thessaloniki, the Eptapyrgion, an early Paleologian Era Byzantine fortress, which was built on top of ancient foundations of the citys Acropolis.
While the septry's layout was inspired basicaly by the layouts of older monasteries in the island of Crete, mostly the ones built on hills.
