House Kenning of Kayce
On this tab
House Kenning of Kayce is a family sworn to the Lannisters, settled along the western coast of Westeros. It descends from an ironborn warrior who traded the Iron Islands for the Westerlands, and has kept a war horn as a blood relic ever since.
Origins
Herrock Kenning
Herrock Kenning was the one who carried the name to Kayce. An ironborn by birth, he came from House Kenning of Harlaw, and likely arrived in these lands during the era when the Hoare kings ruled a stretch of coast running from Bear Island to the Banefort. What he left behind was the war horn that bears his name, passed down through the family from father to son as an heirloom.
