House Drumm of Old Wyk
Casa Drumm de Viejo Wyk
House Drumm of Old Wyk is a vassal house of the Greyjoys in the Iron Islands, seated on the island that bears its name. Its head holds the title Lord of Old Wyk and keeps the ancestral sword Red Rain, forged of Valyrian steel, under a bone hand in silver on a field of gules.
The house has a recurring role in the royal politics of the isles: one of its own was proclaimed king at a kingsmoot, and generations later another Drumm put himself forward as a claimant to the island throne at a similar assembly.
