Apart from House Dustin and 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. | Apart from House Dustin and 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 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. | ||
The history of House Stark goes back to the 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. Shortly after the 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 Long Night.
