Hello! Today I am going to write you about Game of Thrones.
As I already have done a post to talk a little about some characters, today I come to talk about the most important Houses of the Series, that is, the families.
Hope you like it!!
House Stark
The Stark House have seat in the north of Westeros and is known for having lords with honor, which sometimes causes them some problems. An example of this is Ned Stark, who when trying to do the correct ended up dead. The Starks are one of the oldest houses, they are 8 thousand years old.
Symbol: Wolf
Seat: Winterfell
Motto: “Winter is coming”
House Lannister
The Lannisters are of the houses more powerfull and belong to the richest people in Westeros, one phrase they often use is "A Lannister always pays what he owes", (many people think this is the motto of the Lannister House).
Symbol: Lion
Seat: Casterly Rock
Motto: "Hear Me Roar!"
House Targaryen
The Targaryen House was ruler of the Seven Kingdoms for 3 centuries, ceasing to be when Aerys II and his son (heir) were killed. Currently Targaryen House is led by Daenerys (daughter of Aerys II), who after so much time hiding on the other side of the Straits Sea decides to fight for the Iron Throne.
Symbol: Dragon
Seat: Dragonstone
Motto: "Fire and Blood"
House Baratheon
House Baratheon was ruler when the series began. But in the meantime, Robert and his sons died. Later Robert's two brothers also died, but the Gendry who was a bastard of Robert is still alive, being therefore heir to the Iron Throne.
Symbol: Deer
Seat: Storm's End
Motto: "Ours Is the Fury"
House Tully
The Tully were a good family, but unfortunately they killed them all (except the Edmure Tully), in the red wedding. So now, the lord of the Tully House is Edmure.
Symbol: Trout
Seat: Riverrun
Motto: "Family, Duty, Honor"
House Tyrell
House Tyrell is seat in the southwest of Westeros, and is now a completely extinct family. But before explaining how this happened, I have to say that the lord of this house was Mace Tyrell and his mother was Olena Redwyne, Mace had two sons: Margaery and Loras.
Margaery, Loras and Mace were killed by Cercei, leaving Olena to lead the House Tyrell, which later killed itself. So the Tyrell family is over.
Symbol: Golden Rose
Seat: Highgarden
Motto: "Growing Strong"
House Greyjoy
House Greyjoy governs the iron islands, which are a group of islands along the west coast of Westeros. Although this is not Greyjoy's true motto, this is a phrase used by them: "What Is Dead May Never Die".
Symbol: Squid
Seat: Pyke
Motto: "We Do Not Sow"
House Bolton
The Bolton House, despite being a noble house was much feared because of the practice of flaying living people. The person who was leading was called Lord of the Dreadfort. This House began to be even more feared after it had burned Winterfell.
Symbol: A man flayed upside down on a cross
Seat: The Dreadfort
Motto: "Our Blades Are Sharp"
