Game of Thrones Houses

The ancient lords of Winterfell, Wardens of the North, and keepers of the oldest memories in Westeros. No house lost more — or endured more — across eight seasons of war, betrayal, and ice.

The wealthiest and most politically ruthless house in Westeros — masters of the Iron Throne for two decades. Their gold funded empires; their secrets brought dynasties down. A Lannister always pays his debts.

The dragon lords of Old Valyria who conquered Westeros and ruled for three centuries. Exiled, diminished, and thought extinct — until Daenerys Stormborn returned with three dragons and a claim to the Iron Throne.

Founded by Orys Baratheon — bastard brother of Aegon the Conqueror — the stag lords of Storm’s End held the Iron Throne for two decades. Their dynasty collapsed entirely by Season 5 through war and fratricide.

Lords of Highgarden and masters of the most fertile land in Westeros. The Tyrells traded food security for political marriages and court influence — until Cersei Lannister’s wildfire ended the entire house in a single afternoon.

The princes and princesses of Dorne — the only kingdom that resisted Aegon the Conqueror’s dragons through guerrilla warfare and sheer will. Their culture, their laws, and their vengeance were all exceptional.

The falcon lords of The Eyrie — a fortress perched at 20,000 feet that no army has ever breached. Among the oldest and most honorable houses in Westeros, yet their line became the pawn of Littlefinger’s ambition.

The kraken lords of Pyke and the Iron Islands — a fierce seafaring people who live by raiding rather than farming. The Ironborn Rebellion failed. Theon’s arc became one of the series’ most complex redemption stories.

Lords of Riverrun and the most strategically important — yet consistently devastated — lands in Westeros. The Riverlands are the battlefield of every war, and House Tully bore that burden for generations, surviving through Edmure’s persistence.
