House Mormont

House Mormont is a stalwart supporter of the Starks. According to legend King Rodrik Stark won the island in a wrestling match (presumably with the ironborn lord who held the island at the time) and appointed the Mormonts to rule there.

Bear Island is beautiful, but also icy, cold and remote. The Mormont 'castle' is a large, comfortable but still relatively primitive wooden longhouse (due to a lack of stone on the island). Huge logs, surrounded by an earthen palisade. On the gate is a carving of a woman in a bearskin with a child in one arm suckling at her breast and a battleaxe in the other. Bears still prowl the woods of the island, giving the Mormonts their sigil.

The people of Bear Island are fierce, hardy and strong. Unlike most of Westeros, the women of Bear Island are trained in the use of weapons and armor, as they are expected to defend hearth and home should wildling raiders from the Frozen Shore to the north attack.

House Mormont is proud and honorable. Their blazon is a a black bear over a green wood. One of the few houses to have an ancestral weapon of Valyrian steel: a bastard sword called Longclaw. However, due to Bear Island's lack of valuable resources, the Mormonts are a rather poor house.
