Too many! Reed, Blackwood, Seaworth, Mormont, Glover, Manderly, Umber... And although not a 'house', the mountain clans in the north.

Mormont and Clegane. The entire Mormon clan, the women, Jorah, and Joer are great. And of course, I can't leave out the House that has my favorite dog.

Not because they contain any of my favourite characters, but for showing good old fashioned common sense as a House, I like clan Swann. Any sensible medieval patriarch with a clutch of sons would cover all bases.

Manderly, Umber,

Royce and Dayne



Oh, andBaelish, I mean one of the smallest houses of Westeros with one of the poorest lands, and there is that guy who becomes Lord Protector of the Vale, pretty cool stuff

Umber and Karstark for me. I think Karstark's words and sigil are among the very best in the series.

I go more on a character basis.... but I'd say Houses Selmy and Dayne. Oh, and Umber.

House Dayne definitely for me, like most people. The house Sword (where u at!!??) always intriguing. The fact that we know almost nothing about the house other then, they have an all-time great sword and a history of great warriors. We need to know more.

House Bolton. By far has the two of the most interesting characters in the entire series.

House Umber- Big fan of the Greatjon
House Manderly- Didn't care for them until ADwD, especially when I thought he killed Davos.
House Seaworth- Have you ever read Davos, enough said
House Whent- "Woe to the Usurper if we had," with a line like that I like that from Ser Oswell, what's not to like
House Borrells- This is a house of men that make smart decisions, assisting Ned and Davos.

Well IDK about my fav, but the 1 I would like to know more about its House Codd..."Though All Men Do Despise Us." is BAMF house words. I mean how bad are you when the "decent" men of the Iron Island aka pirates and thugs look down on them?

I looked for and could not find any Shadowcats of House_____, kinda disappointed about it.

Mormont, Manderly, Seaworth, Dondarrion, Tarth, and Serrett...only because I love their (semi-canon) words: "I have no rival".
