HOUSE TargaryenThe Targaryens came to Westeros from the ancient civilization of Valyria, bringing dragons from the eastern continent and settling on the island of Dragonstone in the Narrow Sea. After an unknown disaster known as the Doom of Valyria wiped out their ancestral homeland and killed most of the world’s dragons, the Targaryens invaded the mainland of Westeros. Aegon

the Conqueror ruled from King’s Landing, where his family lived on for generations, marrying brother to sister to preserve “the blood of the dragon.”

Their Words: “Fire and Blood”

HOUSE GREYJOYHouse Greyjoy’s power purportedly dates back to the great Grey King during the Age of Heroes. Legend has it that the Grey King ruled the sea itself and took a mermaid for his wife. After the Targaryen conquest, King Aegon told the people of the Iron Islands to choose their own lord, and so Lord Vickon Greyjoy of Pyke rose to supremacy in the Iron Islands. His

descendents still maintain the seat.

Their Words: “We do not SoW”

THEON GREYJOY (Alfie Allen)

Ward of LOrd eddArd StArK and heir to the Iron Islands and Pyke

HOUSE ARRYNLocated in the Vale, the Arryns serve as wardens of the East. The Arryns’ ancestry lies in the first Andals to arrive in Westeros. According to lore, the knight Ser Artys Arryn took the Vale from the First Men, fighting from the back of a giant falcon.

Their Words: “aS HigH aS Honor”

LADY LYSA ARRYN (Kate Dickie)

LORD ROBIN ARRYN (Lino Facioli)

Son of LOrd JOn Arryn and LAdy LySA Arryn

HOUSE LANNISTERThe Lannisters descend in part from a group of Andal adventurers who invaded Westeros more than 6,000 years ago and settled at Casterly Rock. The Andals married the daughters of the King of the Rock (an ancestor of Lann the Clever, the legendary trickster who acquired the Rock through his wiles during the Age of Heroes). The Lannisters ruled as kings in their

realm until the Targaryens brought dragons to conquer the continent, placing all the lords of Westeros under control of the Iron Throne.

Their Words: “Hear Me roar”

HOUSE BARATHEONThe House of Baratheon was founded after the conquest of Aegon Targaryen, by the conqueror’s general (and rumored bastard brother) Orys Baratheon. The blood of the Storm Kings – a line of royals dating back to the Age of Heroes – has run through the Baratheon line ever since Orys killed the final Storm King, Argilac the Arrogant, and took his daughter as a wife.

Recently, following Robert’s Rebellion, the Baratheons seized the Iron Throne from the Mad King Aerys Targaryen and have ruled the Seven Kingdoms since.

The principal house of the Riverlands, the Tullys rose to power during the Targaryen conquest. When the invaders attacked with their dragons, Edmyn Tully was the first to rebel against the King of the Isles, Harren the Black, and side with Aegon Targaryen. Harren’s other supporters soon followed suit, paving the way for the new king. Aegon rewarded House Tully by naming

Edmyn lord of the Riverlands.

The Stark family traces its lineage back to the First Men, who landed in Westeros more than 10,000 years ago and eventually forged a lasting peace with the continent’s druidic natives, the Children of the Forest. The Starks still worship the Old Gods of their forbears at the heart tree in Winterfell, one of the last vestiges of their faith on Westeros. The Starks ruled as kings in

the north (beginning with Bran the Builder, who erected the Wall) until the Targaryen conquest.
