House Cerwyn of Cerwyn

HistoryDomainBooks and show
On this tab

House Cerwyn of Cerwyn is a noble family of the North whose castle stands little more than half a day's ride from Winterfell. For generations they were counted among the Starks' closest retainers, and their blazon — a black battle-axe on a silver field — marks a small but warlike house, sworn to the words "Honed and Ready".

Their history becomes bound up with the Northern campaigns of the war that follows Eddard Stark's death, a conflict that tests every bannerman in the region.

War of the Five Kings

Robb Stark's Call to Arms

When war breaks out after Eddard Stark's death, young Robb summons his Northern bannermen. The Cerwyns answer the call and add their men to the army marching south.
