HOUSE STARK
The Starks trace their descent from Brandon the Builderxyxy and the ancient Kings of Winterxy. For thousands of years, they ruled from Winterfellxy as Kings in the Northxyxy, until Torrhen Starkxyxy, the Kingxy Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to Aegonxy the Dragonxyxy rather than give battle. Their blazon is a grey direwolf on an ice-white field. The Starkxy words are Winter Is Comingxy.
