House Urian of Jade Peak

House Urian is a newly landed House sworn to the Verdants of Castamere. Their arms are a raggedly-fletched black arrow on a field of white. Their seat of power is Jade Peak, a newly built castle in the mountains of the Westerlands roughly halfway between the Crag and Ashemark. The Urians have access to a nearly untapped gold mine. The current lord is Lord Mathos Urian.

History
House Urian, unlike many other Houses, has no great and important past. It's members never did anything particularly noteworthy until more recent days. The Urian family is a line of hedge knights from King's Landing, name and status (of which there was none) passed from father to son. No kings or great lords (or many minor lords for that matter) have ever written anything in their personal books about any Urian, nor even known of their existence, except perhaps by a name heard in passing. No battle's fate was changed by the actions of anyone bearing the name Urian. The women of this family never married lords, and were never the daughters of lords. They were humble women from humble beginnings, who lived humble lives with their new 'House'. The greatest deed a Urian ever accomplished before the current generation was rising to command a gate in King's Landing. Before the current head of the House, very few people outside of King's Landing ever knew the name 'Urian'.

Of course, that was then. Now is a different time. A time that has seen a Urian, the last Urian, rise through the ranks of society from hedge knight's son to soldier in a King's army, to a knight himself, to a sworn sword to a powerful Western lord, and finally to a lord himself. The Urian name, while still by no means famous, is now not entirely unknown in every corner of Westeros. Or Essos, for that matter, but that is a story for another time.

Recent Events
House Urian is a newly landed house. The powerful western lord Daemon Verdant approached Mathos Urian at the feast of Starfall, offering him employment. After a period of some months of leal service, Lord Verdant awarded the Urian knight with a newly built keep in the mountains of the Westerlands.
