→ House Manderly

House Manderly of White Harbor is an ancient house from the North with its origins in the Reach.

A thousand years before the conquest the Manderlys lived at the banks of the mighty river Mander, but they were driven away byHouse Gardener. They fled north and were welcomed by the Starks of Winterfell as their own bannermen. Due to those origins, they are the only noble house from the North of Andalish origins and customs, and thus they follow the Faith instead of the Old Gods.

Eventually, they became the lords of White Harbor, previously inhabited by pirates that were driven out by Jon Stark. White Harbor is the only city in the North, and a main port for commerce and naval transport.

Their blazon is a white merman with dark green hair, beard and tail, carrying a black trident, over a blue-green field. Their motto has not yet appeared in the books.
