Westeros — Sigils of the Great Houses

Explore the sigils and house words of 147 noble houses of Westeros, the fictional continent from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO's Game of Thrones. A heraldic tapestry of dragons, wolves, lions, roses, and falcons across the Seven Kingdoms.

The Seven Kingdoms

Westeros is divided into seven historical kingdoms — The North, The Vale, the Riverlands, the Westerlands, the Reach, the Stormlands, the Crownlands, and Dorne — plus the Iron Islands. Each kingdom houses dozens of noble families, each bearing its own sigil and ancestral seat.

Sigils and house words

In Westeros, each noble house is identified by a sigil (a heraldic device — the equivalent of a coat of arms) and a motto known as house words. The Stark sigil is a direwolf; the Lannisters bear a lion; the Targaryens, dragons. These symbols are inherited, displayed on banners and shields, and tied to the house's history and lands.

The heraldic tradition of Westeros

Martin's heraldry draws heavily from medieval European sources — particularly English and French — but adapts the visual vocabulary to a fictional world. Direwolves, krakens, three-eyed ravens, and weirwood trees stand alongside more traditional charges. Each sigil tells a story rooted in centuries of in-world history.
