House Lannister is one of the Great Houses of Westeros, one of its richest and most powerful families and oldest dynasties. House Lannister's Heraldry consists of a golden lion on a crimson background. Their unofficial motto, which is as well known as the official one, is "A Lannister always pays his debts" | | House Stark of Winterfell is a previously exiled Great House of Westeros, ruling over the vast region known as the North from their seat in the slums of King's Landing. House Stark's sigil is a grey direwolf on a white field, sometimes white and pale green. They are one of the few noble Houses whose family words are not a boast or threat. Instead, the House Stark family motto is a warning, one that, no matter the circumstances, will always be relevant: "Winter is Coming". | | House Targaryen is a former Great House of Westeros and was the ruling royal House of King's Landing for three centuries, before it was deposed. The few surviving Targaryens fled into exile. House Targaryen's sigil is a three-headed red dragon on a black background, and their words are "Fire and Blood". | | House Tyrell of Highgarden is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. It rules over the Reach, a vast, fertile, and heavily-populated region of southwestern Westeros. The Tyrell sigil is a golden rose on a pale green field. Their motto is, "Growing Strong". | | House Baratheon of Storm's End is one of the Great Houses of Westeros, although also one of the youngest. It is the current royal house (this is bound to change). House Baratheon's sigil is a black stag on a gold background and their house motto is "Ours is the Fury". |
