House Templeton
Casa Templeton de Nuevestrellas
House Templeton of Ninestars is a knightly house of the Vale of Arryn, sworn to House Arryn of the Eyrie and holding Ninestars as its seat. Bearing the title Knight of Ninestars, its members turn up in several of the episodes that shaped the Vale's history, from the Andal conquest to the Targaryen dynastic wars.
Its arms show nine gold stars on a black saltire, eight with six points and one with seven, a device that sets it apart among the Vale's lesser houses.
