These beautiful graphics each represent a powerful house in the Song of Ice and Fire Universe [ie. Game of Thrones]. Among them are the words and symbol of each of the houses. A pretty cool collection. There are a significant number more, ones with names belonging to houses like Karstark and Bracken. They’re the relatively third party houses [at least as I’ve read so far], so I left them out. But I made sure to get all the good ones. Check out the nearly dozen of them below.

I didn’t know Clegane was a House with Motto. That Motto is hilarious. shouldn’t it be We Chop Horses in Half?
Do you have a House of choice? According to a few quizzes I am House Arryn, although I despise Lysa… well, John Arryn doesn’t sound that bad… The one I like the most is House Targaryen.
I’m a Baratheon kinda guy. Robert was one of my favorite characters in both the movies and the book. The book constantly talks about how strong and fearless he was when he was younger and I always thought he was a good guy besides all the whoring he did. But I definitely think the House with the most culture is probably the Greyjoys. Their ‘take what they want’ philosophy always appeared to be a way men should be during that time. You know what they say about Targaryen: “Madness and greatness were two sides of the same coin and every time a new Targaryen was born, the gods would toss the coin in the air and the world would hold its breath to see how it would land”. High risk, high reward I suppose.
Completely unrelated: is there an e-mail address you can give me? I’d sometimes like to make comments on the reading of the books, but I don’t want to spoil anything for your readers…
