Vote up the Houses you would bend the knee for.
Vote on your favorite house in HBO's Game of Thrones series. Based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series by George R.R. Martin, GoT follows members of several families as they travel around the fictional kingdom of Westeros, making deals and killing each other. Over the course of several seasons, audiences have gotten to know individual members of many families intimately - most notably the Starks of Winterfell and the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. While one appears to have only good people and the other mostly bad, the show's characters are so complicated with ambiguous motives that it is difficult to judge an entire House based on its members. Which GoT House is your favorite?
House Stark of Winterfell is one of the Great Houses of Westeros and they rule over the vast region known as the North from their seat in Winterfell. It is one of the oldest lines of Westerosi nobility by far, claiming a line of descent stretching back over eight thousand years. In days of old, they ruled as Kings of Winter, and since the Targaryen Conquest, they have been Wardens of the North.

House Mormont of Bear Island is an old, proud, and honorable house, and is one of the principal families sworn to House Stark of Winterfell. Their seat is at Bear Island, located in the Bay of Ice far to the north-west of Winterfell. While Bear Island is not a large house and lacks valuable resources, the Mormonts established themselves as an unquestionably loyal house to the Starks who will come to their aid.
