House Tully

House Tully governs the Riverlands from Riverrun, valuing family, loyalty, and honor above all else. Positioned at the crossroads of Westeros, their lands frequently become battlegrounds, forcing them into difficult alliances and costly conflicts. Though sometimes underestimated, the Tullys have strong leaders and deep emotional bonds that drive their decisions.

Their house motto — Family, Duty, Honor — perfectly reflects their priorities and the burdens they carry. Every Tully lord must weigh the safety of his children against the obligations of his seat, and the riverlands rarely give them time to choose.

No war proved that cruelty more clearly than the Dance of the Dragons, when every army marching on King's Landing tore through the Riverlands on the way. Riverrun's bannermen were split, its fields burned, and its people paid the price of other houses' ambitions — a pattern repeated again in the War of the Five Kings, when Catelyn Tully's children paid the heaviest price of all.
