Royce of Runestone sigil change


The WolfSpider

Recommended Posts

Is it me or was their sigil changed a while back. I could've swore it was a shower of pebbles. I remember thinking that it seemed like a warning or beginning of an avalanche which seemed wholly appropriate to the landscape . Was it changed because it gave too much away?

On your image, those 'pebbles' are supposed to be iron studs... Maybe the author looked at some other drawing of Royce sigil and assumed those black circles are stones/pebbles.

Sigil of Royces (Runestone branch) was always: 'Black iron studs on a bronze field, bordered with runes' (Bronze pelleté, an orle of ancient runes sable).

Nice find! Thank you for vindication 

It seems to me that whatever it is that they "Remember" will be the beginning of a veritable avalanche.

I'm certain that the banner of House Royce has never changed. The original source we had for the banners not described in the novels, such as House Royce, were the depictions made by Ran and Linda at the Citadel based on the descriptions George sent them. In the Citadel, the Royce banner has always been blazoned as " Black iron studs on bronze, bordered with rune". This has been there at least since 2001, and I would say that even some time before.

The article from the wiki was created in 2007. Probably it's just that someone misinterpreted the Citadel's rendition and wrote a wrong description of it. Fortunately, it has been corrected.

Well it's not sexy, which may be best coming from the hairy bear, but it does sound certain. Frankly a shower of pebbles seems much more appropriate for a Vale house and sexier. Black studs on bronze sounds like a take on House Oakenshield.....or a porn movie. Grumble Grumble.

Thank you for the info though Bear

Someone on reddit translated the runes:

"https://imgur.com/0evd45s This is the Royce rune pattern on Bronze Yohn's cloak in the show and armour in the books. A few years ago as something to do I taught myself the runic alphabet for old english. Starting at the top right corner and going clockwise it seems to say in modern english just written phonetically in runes:

Run before your blood runs"

Sooo, maybe those aren't pebbles/studs on the sigil, but chicken poop?

Thats a show joke, if you look at the runes on the depiction of the shield in the westeros.org citadel or even the one depicted in TWOIAF the runes are different from the ones on the show.
