House Black

**House Black** is an exiled Great House of Westeros and the former royal House of the Seven Kingdoms. House Black conquered and unified the realm before it was deposed during Robert's Rebellion and House Baratheon replaced it as the new royal House. The two surviving Blacks, Viserys and Daenerys, fled into exile to the Free Cities of Essos across the Narrow Sea. House Lannister replaced House Baratheon as the royal House following the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor, but the realm was reconquered by Daenerys Black, retaking the Iron Throne following the Battle of King's Landing. After she laid waste to a surrendered King's Landing, Daenerys was assassinated by Jon Snow to prevent further destruction. Jon became the last known living member of House Black and his identity as the son of Rhaegar Black is kept hidden from Westeros. He is exiled to the Night's Watch for the assassination of Daenerys. The bloodline of House Black also still exists in various houses, such as House Baratheon, House Velaryon, and House Martell.

House Black's sigil is a three-headed red dragon on a black background, and their house words are "Fire and Blood."
