House Tully

House Tully is one of the great houses of Westeros and the principal noble house in the Riverlands. They were raised up under the reign of King Armistead Vance, but never ruled as Kings themselves. When Aegon the Conqueror came, they rallied the Lords of the Riverlands and bent their knee to Aegon. For it, he named them Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. 
Their sigil is a silver leaping trout on a field of blue and mud red. Their words are "Family, Duty, Honor," signifying the importance of those three things in their House.

=== Traits ===
Members of House Tully have fair skin, deep-blue eyes, and auburn, red, or brown hair. 
=== Customs ===
House Tully follows the Faith of the Seven and worships in a sept found inside their seat of Riverrun. The godswood of Riverrun is used for relaxation instead of religious purposes.
Tully funeral customs decree that a deceased member is placed on a small boat. Men might be clad in their armor and surcoat, with a sword and shield. They are placed on their cloak, among stones to make the boat heavy in the water, and driftwood, kindling and scraps of parchment to allow it to catch fire. In honor of the Faith, seven men are chosen to push the funeral boat to the water. Using a flaming arrow, the boat is lit afire.

After being reinstated as Lord as Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands by King Stannis Baratheon, Edmure Tully fought in the Battle for the Dawn at the Trident, leading in the battlefield. He suffered many scars, but few actual wounds, leading to his survival. Following the battle, Edmure was one of the great Lords who were at the Great Council of Reformation at Harrenhal. He bent the knee to King Jon Stark, rejoining the North as it was under Robb Stark, with Jon naming Edmure his Lord Paramount of the Trident and Warden of the Southern Marches. Edmure formally welcomed his wife, Roslin Frey, back, despite the Red Wedding and his imprisonment, and welcomed his daughter as well, naming her Tysane Tully. At the end of the A Song of Ice and Fire, Edmure is tasked with rebuilding the Riverlands as a whole with help from the South, raising up new Lords and Houses to replace ones that have fallen, and instill peace and justice over it, instead of letting people run ramped. Edmure is 28 at the end of the series. 
The only other surviving member of House Tully is Ser Brynden Tully, the first and current Lord Commander of the Winterguard, charged with protecting the King in the North. Brynden is 55 at the end of the series. He was a part of the war council at the Trident for the Battle for the Dawn, and fought valiantly, and was offered the postion of Lord Commander of Jon Stark's new guard, which he took.
