House Swann



House Swann of Storm's End is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, and the principal house of the Stormlands. Their seat is Storm's End, though another branch resides in Stonehelm. Their sigil is two swan combatants countercharged. They do not have an official motto as of yet.

History
House Swann is an old noble house, regarded as proud, powerful and cautious. They have governed their lands for as long as they can remember. From Stonehelm they control a major river route inland to the Stormlands, and from Storm's End, they oversee everything happening in the Stormlands. They are the most powerful house in the Stormlands, with House Tarth following soon after.

During the first Dance of the Dragons, Ser Byron Swann was killed by Syrax or Vhagar.

During the War of the Five King's, house Swann did not take a side until later in the war, when Aegon Targaryen sent ravens to the Lord's and Ladies of Westeros. House Swann was the second to raise their banners, after House Martell. Quickly soon after, an unnamed Swann saved Aegon Targaryen from an arrow. He didn't die, but Aegon would pay his debts one way or another.

As the War of the Five King's came to a close, House Swann was raised to Lord Paramouncy in the Stormlands by Aegon.

The Second Dance With Dragons
House Swann remained loyal to the ruling Targaryen, with one of the members slaying one of the opposing side's dragons.

The Greyjoy Rebellion of 425 AL
House Swann didn't take part until the very end, raising it's banners and taking part in the Battle of Pyke.
