Crowfood, I mean look at him!

My boy Smalljon 😢

[@BatFlash52]

The Greatjon, his King in the North speech is Great!

[@Huck0462]

Smalljon Umber dude picked up a wooden feasting table that was probably bolted to the ground to shield Robb at the red wedding, Smalljon gets a bad rap because of the tv show shit version but I personally think smalljon would've been one hell of a Kingsguard. RIP my boi smalljon.

I low key love Whoresbane ngl

[@vibechecker3168]

One thing I love about the northern houses is you read up on them and you go “wow this house is the most insane group of mad bastards ever” and then GRRM is like “but wait there’s more”

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

The first men are just built different.

[@nickbenton4881]

All the (very little) chill went to the Starks and the rest are just batshit

[@stepanpazderka5497]

@@nickbenton4881 id say Manderlys are the chillest ones.

[@jinxcrafter]

​@stepanpazderka5497 but is that because they originally came from the Reach, and have less First Men blood?

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

@@jinxcrafter they are first men as well they just come from a different area they existed before the anduls showed up

[@sebastos7693]

I just realised that if Hother had actually become a maester, he would have been a chained giant.

[@O-M-0]

We all know GRRM based a lot of Westeros on things that exist in the United Kingdom irl, like The Wall being inspired by Hadrian's Wall, for example. And the eastern half of Hadrian's Wall is in Northumberland - North Umber Land. George's creativity knows no bounds.

[@fantasyhaven1]

YES I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Northumberland connection

[@climax050]

Northumberland is also famous or infamous for being the landing and fighting grounds of the vikings for a good hundred odd years. Which kinda relates to the Ironborn invading the north as they're pseudo Vikings. But said Vikings in history are often remembered as giants, hence house Umber having a giant both on their sigil and their bloodline having some huge people in it.

[@maxmustermann9058]

The Umbers are basically the second line of defense behind the Wall. Because of that I would not be surprised if there is a battle at Last Hearth at some point.

[@leminnie7]

He out here Umbering this Hearth! Northern houses making me feel properly festive this winter! Love it! 🤎❤

“Fall of the House of Umber” I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE LORD HAVEN. 👌

What is

[@catalinafernandez7928]

​@@sportsshinobicomo la caída de la casa Usher de Edgar Allan Poe, quizás??

[@BatFlash52]

House Umber doesn’t have any bland or boring characters in the main story, good for the Giants, not a lot of Houses can claim that honour. Also in Seasons Six of the show (I’m sorry for bringing it up) House Umber is one of the four most powerful vassals of the Starks alongside the Manderlys, Boltons and Karstarks. I feel like that could be true in the main series anyone agree? And if so what would they be ranked?

[@jamesgatehouse3318]

I think in the books, I'd replace the Karstarks with the Dustins. Barrowton's a large and important settlement.

[@ramiromen6595]

I say: 1-Manderly 2-Bolton (realistically they don't seem to be that powerful but there must be a reason for them to keep up with the starks) 3-Karstark: their heavy cavalry is constantly mentioned 4-Dustin because of Barrowtown 5-Umber

[@421less1]

I always got the impression that the greatjon was more respected and a powerful personality than a powerful vassal, but not in a shitty way. Rob earning his respect was pretty much the signal to everyone else that the kid was worth a shot.

[@Levacque]

​@@jamesgatehouse3318yeah, I think the only reason why we don't often think of Barrowton is that Lady Dustin held back so much in Robb's muster (I think she also has some influence over her Ryswell relatives and limited their involvement too, because they're hardly mentioned in his armies).

[@jailaniansera]

​@@Levacque Lord Ryswell is a father of Lady Dustin, so yeah they are pretty much a relative. And have close relationship with Bolton too.

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

Thank you Lord Haven for this video on The House of Jolly Giants for the winter season it's perfect.

[@samw-b3793]

I commend you for your attention to the canon in the art! Drawing Robb with and without a beard based on when it's described that he shaves in the book does not go unnoticed!

[@giacomoromano8842]

During a ck2 agot game playing as the Umber, i once found a Valyrian steel sword during a Campaign in the service of the Starks and dubbed it "Chains Breaker". I thought it to be apt.

[@DarkVeghetta]

👍

[@behurastudio]

George went unnecessary hard on Mors Umber’s design, best viking-esque look ive ever heard in any book. Also the animation with the Freys getting drunk with Greatjon made me laugh outloud, it was great!

[@beesonbandit6639]

That is facts mors is unreasonably badass

[@Flipdip32]

Finally the giant daddies of the North I can't wait to see more of their storyline in Winds, they're more clever than some give them credit for and their one of the most significant houses to the Northern storyline

[@Levacque]

7:33 the divided composition of the Umber forces are, IMO, the final clue as to what's going on inside Winterfell. The old men of the North have gone out to hunt in the first snows to "hunt" - to fight the Boltons and try to leave something worthwhile for their young. Look closely at who is actually present inside the walls of the castle and you'll realize that there are pretty much no young lords except among families with direct ties to the Boltons. They're prepared to die for the cause. ... And Wyman Manderly never accepted guest right within the castle.

[@Epeprm]

Only GRRM could create "Whoresbane" and "Crowfood" into a single family. Man, that guy can write.

[@0bskureference]

I like to think that the bit about the Night’s King being an Umber, Bolton, Flynt or Stark or however many families is literally true. Like a fun wink from GRRM that he is born to parents that had blood of all those families but had the surname Snow or maybe Stark. Is that crazy? We see case with the Stark children having blood from House Stark, Tully, Whent and at least half a dozen other houses if you go far back enough.

[@pIayingwithmahwii]

It’s also possible that it was so long ago that whichever house the night king was from wasn’t anything of those at all. It was their father house. It might’ve been the progenitor house from which sprang all the other northern houses before they were even a thing. Like a common ancestor type thing

[@0bskureference]

Exactly this

[@domi6026]

Lmao Ser Merrett Frey faceplanting on the table was such a good touch, great video as always Lord Haven

[@MagroovMagroovian]

He is no Ser, Lord Crakehall never knighted him.

[@petertomszabo6268]

WOW!! I never knew that Smalljon was guard of Robb... Its so different in the show WOW. I am shocked xD

[@ianlachey1726]

It would be so cool if the great Jon gets released but he keeps his irons attached with a bit of broken chain to be the image of his house sigil

[@daturalacroyemusic]

I love how you drew Sleepy Jack.

[@thankgod4rednecsinnitt290]

I like the Umbers, so I hope it’s not true that they are still practicing the First Night. Even if they are as Northern as Northmen get, I like to think their respect for the Stark’s rule overrules any wish to back to “the good old days” and that Roose is full of shit.

[@sebastos7693]

Maybe Hoarfrost or some other less moral Umber practiced it during Roose's lifetime and he's just generalising.

[@FuckfreysLuvfamily]

Another nanger of a northern house.
