Apart from [[House Dustin]] and [[House Bolton]], no house in the North can claim a line so long as House Stark, and none so storied. Their legacy is so great that their mythical founder has become part of the founding traditions of many other realms and houses across Westeros. Some in the [[The Reach|Reach]] claim House Stark separated off from the original followers of [[Garth the Green]] through [[Brandon of the Bloody Blade]], the most savage of Garth's children - though this cannot be verified, and may well be apocryphal. | Apart from [[House Dustin]] and [[House Bolton]], no house in the North can claim a line so long as House Stark, and none so storied.

The history of House Stark goes back to the [[The Long Night|Long Night]]. [[Brandon the Builder]] is said to have raised Winterfell in the generation after the Long Night - and was instrumental in the raising of the Wall intended to keep out the Others and their armies of the dead. Brandon's son, another Brandon Stark - was said to have been involved in the building of the Hightower - though this seems unlikely. Shortly after the [[The Wall|Wall]] was raised, Brandon the Breaker fought alongside [[Joramun]], the King-Beyond-the-Wall - to bring down the thirteenth Lord-Commander of the [[Night's Watch]] - who at that time was reigning as the [[Night's King]] with his corpse queen. | The history of House Stark goes back to the [[The Long Night|Long Night]].
