House Farring
Casa Farring
House Farring answers to the Baratheons of King's Landing from the Crownlands, with no source giving it a seat of its own. Its arms, two knights crossing swords on a field split purple and silver, suit a family whose members keep turning up on different fronts at once.
Ser Gilbert, Ser Godry and Bryen Farring are the three names on record: knights in direct royal service, some holding Storm's End and others riding with King Stannis Baratheon on campaign.
