𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐: "Listen Carefully"

𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒍: A red fox in a circle of blue flowers on ermine (Ermine, a fox gules within an annulet of flowers azure)

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔: Members of House Florent tend to have prominent ears.

House Florent is one of the many noble Houses sworn to House Tyrell of Highgarden. Descended from Garth Greenhand by his daughter Florys the Fox, House Florent boasts a superior claim to Highgarden by their close blood ties to the House Gardener, the extinct Kings of the Reach.

During Aegon's Conquest, House Florent followed their liege, King Mern IX Gardener, in taking up arms against Aegon the Conqueror during the Field of Fire.

After the battle, when King Mern and his sons burned and the Gardeners' line ended, Aegon named the Tyrells as Lord Paramount of the Reach, despite the Florents possessing a superior claim by their blood ties to the Kings of the Reach.

House Florent was among the great houses of the Reach that bitterly complained about being made vassals of the Tyrells and insisted that their blood was nobler than that of the "upjumped stewards". Their protests were denied by King Aegon I, perhaps because the Florents had fought House Targaryen when the Tyrells did not.

In all the long history of the Trident, under hundreds of rulers, there was hardly ever a time when the riverfolk were not at war with at least one of their neighbors. Sometimes they were forced to fight upon two or even three fronts at once.

Worse, few of the river kings ever enjoyed the full support of his own lords bannermen. Memories of ancient wrongs and bygone betrayals were not oft put aside by the lords of the Trident, whose enmities ran as deep as the rivers that watered their lands. Time and time again, one or more of these riverlords would join with some invader against their own king; indeed, in some cases, it was these very lords who brought the outsiders into the riverlands, offering them lands or gold or daughters for their help against familiar foes.

House   Manderly   origins   can   be   traced   to   Pyke   and   the   Iron   Islands.   Their   House   Sigil   :   a   white   merman   with   green   hair   and   a   green   tail   over   a   blue-green   field.   The   Manderly's   established   their   trading   harbor,   White   Harbor   and   it   has   become   the   most   important   one   in   Westeros.   Originally   Ironborn,   they   moved   to   the   Reach   where   they   were   exiled   and   found   a   new   home   in   the   North   where   the   Starks   welcomed   them.   Manderly's   have   an   overly   sense   of   fashion   that   at   times   clashes   with   the   harsh   north.   Details   of   sea   greenery   and   decorations,   sea   shells   and   sea   stars   with   a   lot   of   pearls.   Men   wear   a   lot   of   decorations,   mostly   necklaces   and   bracelets   and   their   armor   resembles   a   merman's   tail   and   scales.   The   women   will   often   dye   all   their   hair   or   partially   and   create   shadows   of   teal   color   around   their   eyes.   All   their   armor   and   decorations   have   accents   of   gold,   green   and   blue.

I feel like so many problems people have with tv at the moment could be solved if we just went back to the good ole days of 20 episodes a season that’s just sixty percent filler and character development. Give the people what they want- less condensed story and more meaningless shenanigans
