House Harlaw

House Harlaw of Harlaw is one of the oldest and most powerful houses of the Iron Islands, tracing their lineage back to the Age of Heroes. For thousands of years, they have ruled supreme over the island of Harlaw, as rock and salt kings in ages past, and as lords since the ending of kingsmoots. Famed High Kings of old had borne the name Harlaw, and with figures like Rodrik the Reader and Harras the Knight amongst their ancestors, they have preserved their prominence throughout the centuries. Their blazon is an argent scythe on a black field, and their words are "Conquest Is Our Harvest".

They rule from their high seat at the Ten Towers, and all the other houses of Harlaw pledge fealty to them. Their vassals include the Houses Kenning, Myre, Stonetree and Volmark, and the cadet branches of Harlaw located at Grey Garden, Harlaw Hall, Harridan Hill and the Tower of Glimmering.

The senior line of the family is in possession of the Valyrian Steel longsword, Nightfall.
