But would a Dacey Mormont type work at the patriarchal King's Landing where the strict ruling of Baelor the Blessed is keeping even his sisters locked in a vault? There's plenty of potential RP/conflict there to be had in any case.

House Slynt
House Kettleblack
I'd say that cadet branches needn't have different emblems -- as the Lannisters don't really seem to have a distinction between either other than origin -- but it'd be good to see an expansion of House Baratheon, perhaps. Or, even better!
House Jast!
House Grandison (there are a handful of members of this one)
House Ruthermont
House Morrigen
The main House Royce (once the rune things are figured out at least)
House Tolett
House Willum
House Risley (just because I like the heraldry; it reminds me of the Lithuanian crest)
House Virwel
House Tarly (because aside from Samwell they were all badasses!)

Kettleblack only came into creation under Cersei. Ditto Slynt, I think.

As for the others, they'd be interesting inclusions. Tarly would be awesome. Royce... I think there's some issue there that means they can't be introduced.

True about the Kettlebacks and Slynts (Kettlebacks were self-named hegde knights, probably didn't "exist" in our times) and Slynt rose to prominence after... well, spoiler, but we all know when. He was a butcher's son, if I remember correct.

Don't know anything about no house Virwel (or Virvel, or Wirwel, or whatever...). Where'd you get that one? I don't know why you'd want the Jast or Risley houses? There was hardly anyone from them in the series, novellas or in-game. Same with Ruthermont... and others.

Houses Tarly and Royce would be great, but yeah - there's an issue with Royces. Tarlys - sure, I'll second that. And I'm all for Tollett as Dolorous Edd is one of my favourite characters ;)

I wouldn't mind seeing house Plumm. There's one in the CDB and we could make a couple more for some marital purposes as well. They've got their arms and the house words given, so it would be easy on that part.

House Redwyne, House Plumm and House Swann would be good additions.

I think it would be pretty cool if some houses were added which are now extinct -- which is to say, are not mentioned in the series -- which would allow the creation of some whole new houses, sigils and words.

Hey, is House Peake still around as of AGoT?

Had a thought earlier about another neat inclusion... how about the Night's Watch?

I know they're not a house per se but they have members listed in all the other houses of the game (I know there's a steward in House Corbray, for example.)

I think this might be tricky to include but would sure be neat to see listed up there on the family page.

What about House Cargyll? They're still kicking at this time, and as usual I am shamelessly petitioning for more Crownlander friends.

House Hollard could be interesting as well. (Again, totally shameless).

I'll also throw in a vote for House Sunglass, since they are known for being extremely pious and with Baelor in power would probably be doing fairly well for themselves, connections-wise.

Oh, agreed, I do believe a bigger Crownlands presence in King's Landing would be good. If only to stop Elrone's incessant bleating! :rofl:

In addition, perhaps we could use some of their scions to flesh out the Goldcloaks a bit? Would be cool to see some Blounts, Gaunts, Thornes and Hartes patrolling the streets of King's Landing.

We can't include organsations on the House page; it shares its database with the Citadel Heraldry.

How about House Lothson? Aren't they ruling in Harrenhal during BoD?
Maybe house Whent? And yes, I'm also all for the Swanns (we only have the one Allos in-game and the house always seemed badass ;) ).

Both the Riverlands and Westerlands have 11 playable houses to the Vale/Reach/Stormland's 10.

To bring the other 3 up to 11, I'd go for House Redfort or Lynderly in the Vale, House Tarly or Redwyne in the Reach, and House Swann in the Stormlands.

Lancelyn: We're avoiding northern houses and that is definitely way too northern. No reason to be in KL at all. :)

Azirafal: None of the Harrenhal houses are likely for various reasons.

Dermett: I believe those are all being considered, yes.

donalnig: This is about family trees for our game, not family trees from GRRM. :)

So, after reading Meera's story, again, I think House Lonmouth would be an excellent addition--best crest, ever.

Hah, that is a good crest. I quite like House Banefort too for that reason :lol:

Not sure if it is listed... The Tarbacks. Though, I cannot remember if there are any arms for them, or information for that matter. Just a thought! :)
