### Sigil

### Allegiance

House Hoare

**House Blackwood of Raventree Hall** are among the oldest Houses in the Riverlands, going back to the Age of Heroes. They have a very fierce rivalry with their neighbors House Bracken of Stone Hedge. They are also the only major House south of the Neck that still worships the Old Gods.

Their sigil is a flock of ravens surrounding a black shield with a dead weirwood on a red field. Their words are *"Faithful to the Last".*

## History

House Blackwood apparently originated from the North, were they were expelled from by House Stark. House Blackwood ruled as petty kings during the Age of Heroes, constantly fighting with their neighbors House Bracken.

King Benedict the Just, founder of House Justman, was actually a bastard of House Bracken and Blackwood, and managed to gain the support of both houses.

When King Humfrey I Teague tried to outlaw the worship of the Old Gods, Lord Roderick Blackwood, rose in rebellion alongside House Vance of Atranta and House Tully of Riverrun. Roderick also sought aid from his son in-law, Arlan III Durrandon. During the Battle of the Six Kings, House Teague was extinguished, but in the battle also fell Lord Roderick. While Arlan originally planned on crowning his daughter in-law Shiera Blackwood (eldest child of Lord Roderick), he realized the other Riverlords wouldn't accept a woman as ruler, and Arlan distrusted Roderick's brothers, so the Riverlands became a part of the Stormlands.

When King Harwyn Hoare invaded the Riverlands, Lady Agnes Blackwood led the Riverlands resistance. She was betrayed by her rival Lord Lothar Bracken and brought to King Harwyn, who killed two of her sons in front of her. When Lady Agnes rejected Harwyn's proposal of becoming his salt wife, saying she would rather die, and claimed his line would end in fire and blood. Impressed by her demeanor, she was then killed by Harwyn.
