The eldest son of King Harrold I Darklyn, Staun was born roughly a decade before the Coming of the Andals began in earnest, though Andal families such as [[House Hollard]] and [[House Staunton]] already served his father and he was familiar with Andal customs. In 20 A.I he would succeed Harrold as king when he was 31 and already a father with four children. As King of Duskendale, he would be attacked by Armistead Vance and his followers, seeking to capture Duskendale for themselves, but he successfully repelled them. Afterwards he gained fame and a reputation as a diligent and just king, beginning his expansion of the city with new marketplaces, roadways, and the construction of new ships for the port that significantly increased the population of his city and the wealth of his coffers. | The eldest son of King Harrold I Darklyn, Staun was born roughly a decade before the Coming of the Andals began in earnest, though Andal families such as [[House Hollard]] and [[House Staunton]] already served his father and he was familiar with Andal customs.

That same year Lord Gylbert [[House Gaunt|Gaunt]] would journey to Duskendale with his daughter, Diana Gaunt, and while there, Staun would be charmed by Diana at their first meeting, even taking her as a lover the same night. House Gaunt would leave Duskendale as a vassal house of the Darklyns with the seat of High Hill, previously held by [[House Strongmead]], ceded to them, while Diana would become pregnant with Staun's child. | ||
