HOUSE EASTERMAN of THE BITE

A small but noble house of the North sworn to House Manderly, House Easterman has come to be known as a clan of "disparate strays." Descended from House Webber of the Reach, House Stokeworth of the Crownlands, and House Borrell of the Vale, it was not until the reign of King Jaehaerys that House Easterman was formed and formally stationed in the North, just east of Greywater Watch. They blazon their arms with a kneeling white lamb with red spider eyes and a crown of black spines, on a field of mud green. Their words are, "How Far To Fall?"

the lore is kinda *handwaves*, just wanted to share this sigil i'm rather proud of! made using free assets from the book of heraldic art. inspired by the outlast trials & murkoff!

MOOTS

i’m having a silly silly idea of making up ANOTHER oc house which is basically a house of book merchants / makers / keepers

the house would be known for getting in trouble with the Faith for keeping “forbidden” books, their role / goal throughout the history of asoiaf would be to preserve knowledge and i imagine many scribes and miniaturists would come from this house (because i love the medieval aesthetic of like illuminated manuscripts, scriptoriums etc) as well as translators / diplomats as well as knights

and i’m thinking Léowyn’s first husband might be a knight from this house and would be known as the Knight of Pages (i think it sounds cool)

I don’t have a name or history or house words / sigil yet it’s all just vibes

HOUSE ELLMONT OF RED RIDGE is a noble house established in the Westerlands. Red Ridge is located south of Lannisport, but still a great distance from Crakehall. It’s named for the lush Pomegrante trees that were once said to have decorated the ridge coating it red with how abundant the fruit was — but it has been centuries since a tree has even sprouted from the ground. Their house words are “Within, Glory”, though some have granted the House unofficial words — “Rotten Inside”.

Founded during the age of heroes, House Ellmont briefly ruled the Red Ridge as kings. This period was believed to be short, and they were soon overtaken by a Lannister king. They have remained loyal to the Lannisters since. They most notably served during the Reyne—Tarbeck Revolt in 261 A.C. This revolt was notable in the houses history as the actions of its heir at the time, Ser Gilles Ellmont, resulted in him being dismissed as heir, and the role being shifted to his younger brother, Arlyn Ellmont. Arlyn was known for his encouragement of Tywin’s actions at the time, and his own ruthlessness during the siege and fall of Tarbeck Hall and Castamere.

In modern times, Lord Arlyn Ellmont holds firm control over his lands and everything that occurs, and is still loyal to House Lannister — even more so now that they have become closely tied to the Iron Throne. Both of his children had the privilege, or perhaps misfortune, of often being around Lord Tywin Lannister’s children in their youth. His eldest son, Ser Martyn Ellmont, has grown to formidable fighter and often described as a charming and witty man— a stark difference to his father. He also is known to frequent several cities across the Reach and Westerlands, and have a love for the people of any sort. Of course, rumors have begun to follow the young heir. Lord Arlyn’s daughter, Lady Gwenys Ellmont, is described as beautiful but as equally difficult to impress as her father. She resides at Red Ridge after the death of her husband and seems uninterested in remarriage. She is most often at her father’s side, wherever that maybe. It is a common bard jest to describe Lady Gwenys as believing she was “Lord Arlyn with teats”, or perhaps “hoping she sprouts a cock one day so she may take Red Ridge herself.”

⟢ House Zhiling of Yi Ti

“Our Song, Unheard.”

Of all the noble houses brought low during the waning years of Emperor Jiyang’s reign, none are remembered with more uncertainty than House Zhiling.

Some claim they were sorcerers, others spies. There are even those who insist the Zhilings could hide messages within poems and paintings, and that entire wars were won and lost by words no man knew had been spoken.

Such tales are doubtless exaggerated. Yet where smoke rises, there is often fire.

House Zhiling, whose seat lay along the flowering river valleys of eastern Yi Ti, bore for their sigil a silver bell hanging from the branch of a plum tree upon a field of deep red.

Their words were:

“Our Song, Unheard.”

Though counted amongst the lesser great houses of the Golden Empire, the Zhilings enjoyed influence far beyond the size of their domains. Where other nobles amassed wealth through trade or armies, the Zhilings gathered knowledge.

It was often said that a Zhiling lord knew of a rebellion before the rebels themselves.

Under Emperor Jiyang, the house reached the height of its power. Lord Jun Zhiling served as the emperor’s closest counselor and most trusted advisor. Many decrees attributed to Jiyang’s wisdom were, according to court rumor, conceived by Lord Jun.

The emperor relied upon him so completely that some whispered the empire possessed two rulers:

one seated upon the Dragon Throne, and one standing beside it.

Yet power invites envy.

The rise of House Bai, the so-called House of the Cypress, marked the beginning of the Zhilings’ ruin.

The official records state that House Zhiling conspired against the throne and maintained secret correspondence with foreign enemies. Evidence of their treason was supposedly uncovered within a collection of hidden records known as the Echo.

Whether such accusations were true remains a matter of dispute.

Many scholars find it curious that the evidence appeared only after House Bai gained influence at court.

Others note that every witness capable of challenging the accusations vanished shortly thereafter.

Whatever the truth, Emperor Jiyang acted swiftly.

Lord Jun Zhiling was stripped of rank and title.

His children were condemned. His household was scattered. His lands were seized.

And House Zhiling, once among the most influential families in Yi Ti, disappeared almost overnight.

Yet legends endure.

Merchants crossing the Jade Sea tell stories of coded poems hidden amongst trade manifests.

Sailors speak of a silver-belled woman glimpsed in distant ports from Qarth to Volantis.

In certain circles of Yi Ti, a quiet saying survives even now:

“When the bell rings, the song returns.”

Whether these tales refer to the last daughter of House Zhiling, or merely to the hopes of those who still dream of justice, no man can say.

But in the histories of fallen houses, few names are spoken with such sorrow as Zhiling.

For theirs was not a story of defeat in battle.

It was a story of trust misplaced.

And of a song stolen before it could be heard.
