House Goodbrother

House Goodbrother is a noble house of The Iron Islands sworn to House Greyjoy. They are the most prominent house on the island of Great Wyk. Their seat is a castle known as the Hammerhorn. Their sigil is a black warhorn on a red background. There are five cadet branches of House Goodbrother, three on Great Wyk, one on Old Wyk and another on Orkmont. The current head of House Goodbrother is Lord Gorold Goodbrother.
==History==
The Goodbrothers established themselves on Great Wyk in the age of the Grey King, claiming descent from his loyal elder brother. They are not a house that earn riches from the sea, instead preferring to utilize the mines of the Hardstone Hills.
Several Goodbrothers have served as Kings in the Iron Islands, with only House Greyiron having more kings chosen. King Urrathon IV Goodbrother was a notorious Ironborn king, who became known as the Bad Brother.
