Each house has its own coat of arms, motto and family castle. The oldest member of the family, the lord, controls a certain region of Westeros. Small houses swear allegiance to him and are his standard bearers.

The Arren House rules in the East. They own large lands, but have virtually no influence on the political life of Westeros. After John Arren left for the war against the Mad King, his family was almost extinct. The family estate is called the Eagle's Nest. It is located high in the mountains and is almost impregnable. The emblem of the house is a soaring falcon and a month. They are waging a constant war with hill tribes.
Another once great, but lost its power house - Greyjoy. They rule on the distant Iron Islands.
“What is dead cannot die” - such are the motto of the houses of the iron-born. The Game of Thrones begins for Greyjoy with the rebellion of Robb Stark. At this moment, they proclaim their independence. The coat of arms of the house is the golden kraken.
