| - Family statistics: Born in 600, Corriden Lomasa was the second boy to be born to Iagu Lomasa and Silverna Seamel. He adored his older brother and had a normal childhood overall. In 618, Corriden enlisted in the cavalry at his father's behest and served two terms before being dishonorably thrown out of the blades for a number of accumulated reasons. These reasons ranged from whoring and boozing on duty, showing up drunk to tournaments, and trying to strangle the second bladesmaster for calling his sister Dianna Lomasa a whore. After a short time in the stockades, the massive Lomasa scion was thrown out into the streets to go find something else to do with himself. Oddly enough, the mercurial alcoholic took to blacksmithing, showing skill that he certainly hadn't shown in his military career. Some of his unique pieces are prized even today for the quality and obsessive perfection that went into them. Corriden Lomasa was also the man to impregnante then-surrector Tomassa Zahir. Trying to court her after the fact, he stole horses to try and raise the 300,000 imperial dowry she'd set. Between his work and his illegal foibles, the dowry was raised and the wedding was set, only to have the bride not show up. Several hours later, she rode in with an explanation, and Corriden Lomasa rode out to go on a legendary binge in the Crescent Moon that still has the girls talking to this day. Somewhere in between all of this, the erstwhile Lomasa confessed his crimes to the emperor and asked to be made a commoner for unknown reasons, resulting in a scandalous hearing and even more humiliation for the house of the Bull, as well as a 500,000 imperial fine. Later on he would go to try and rescue the same emperor, and see Serath Kahar fall. Life as a blacksmith seemed to suit the Lomasa, who in the last months of his life insisted his last name was Stone. He prospered in a shop at Lightholders, living with one illegitimate son and one pregnant commoner. However, without any warning, one day he stuck his head in the blazing furnace of his forge, leaving behind a drunkenly-scrawled will tacked to a table with a dagger. Notedly, with him in the forge was the very same greatsword that he used to charge a group of wildlings in his time beyond the wall. Unlike Serath Kahar, he remains very dead to this day.
