If Jon becomes king in the north in the books, I bet his banner will be similar to Rob's, but the colours will be inverted with it being a white wolf (to represent ghost) on a black background (to represent the long night)
@imnotchilla94824 ай бұрын
Well sigils are inverted if a bastard takes power but I like the idea of the white wolf representing Ghost instead of him being a bastard

You can find Tyrion's coat of arms description in the chapter 59 of ACOK, but it doesn't throw it in your face as a personal sigil, it appears to be just an adornment: "His big red stallion wore crinet and chamfron. Crimson silk draped his hindquarters, over a coat of mail. The high saddle was gilded. Podrik Payne handed up helm and shield, heavy oak emblazoned with a golden hand on red, surrounded by small golden lions."

Walder Rivers seems like one of the underrated badasses of the realm. Jamie inmediately recognizes him as far more dangerous than his noble brothers, he is famed as a warrior, he was trusted to lead the main battle at the Twins, Lord Walder even trusted him to pass judgement across his lands.

The Golden Dragon on a Black Banner will always be one of my all-time favorite sigils in fantasy tbh. Such a dope color scheme, even if not all that different from the regular Targaryen Sigil with a Red Dragon. (Also, I'm surprised Bronn's sigil doesn't have an arrow, instead of the chain we got)

well, the chains represents the big chains that where installed in blackwater bay and where used to trap stannis fleet inside the bay so they can't escape the fire.... the chains where tyrion's idea, but since bron was the man who put everything on fire, he can "claim" the whole trap for him... so yeah, i think the chains fits a lot better

@@swayback7375 Are you telling me that the houses Harlaw, Stark, Roxton, MORMONT and Corbray got their Valyrian Steel weapons from trade? House Stark isn't that wealthy, and it certainly ain't wealthy enough to buy a valyrian steel sword at least 50% bigger than Brightroar which was bought by the richest house in the story. On top of that, how weren't house Targaryen the richest house after selling 23 valyrian steel swords? On top of that how did they get 23 valyrian steel weapons? They were not at all that wealthy compared to the rest of the dragon lords in old valyria. And on top of all that, how is it never mentioned that ALL of the valyrian steel weapons were bought from the same source? I just remembered that Ice was gained even before the Targaryens came to Westeros

The Baratheon sigil wasn't really 'stolen' from the Durandon's- it was adopted, because Orys married the end-of-line heiress, Argella- & as a Valyrian, his family didn't have arms like the Westerosi nobles - stolen arms is more what the Golden Company 'knights' do, because they allow a policy of assuming whatever name/ noble connections they want... I was disappointed that HotD didn't correct the Stark sigil, leaving it as Robb's personal arms. I hope they fix it for s2- maybe they can pretend it _was_ a personal arms for one of Cregan's cousins- we never saw them, just the fact that someone for House Stark was at the tourney.

I also got Robb's personal stark sigil mixed up for all of House Stark's. That's wild, I do think Robb's is better than the base one. My favorite is the blackfish, however he is also one of my favorite character's so a little biased. I think Bloodraven's spin on the Targaryen sigil is so awesome. Honestly I don't like a lot of the sigils and shield looks, look very STOCK image-y. Like Euron's is so badass in concept, but the actual design is just stock images. very little artwork. I don't expect them to hire artists just for fan-made websites, but some just look so offputting. Especially when you show the ones that combine house sigils at the beginning, with the four sectioned off areas.
@zaja24185 ай бұрын

I always assumed that Robb originally made his own coat of arms because when he first set out he was only heir to Winterfell and wasn’t working under his Lord Fathers orders. Then kept it when he became king. It would make sense as a strategic choice to both represent The Starks whole of things could be worked out in the capital it would also be put down as an unofficial crusade by Robb. Not that Robb would be thrown to the…. “Lions?” (Can’t say wolves) but it does mean that technically Robb raised banners and not necessarily House Stark. It’s Symantec but that’s politics.
@limbobilbo87434 ай бұрын

The funny thing in real life im pretty sure the more boring a family's heraldry was ,the older and more powerful they were. I might be wrong here. But if you have a flag on a battlefield its easier to recognize, and rally around, a plain red flag than trying to figure out is that a wolf or a lion.
