House Connington

House Connington of Griffin’s Roost is a lordly house from Griffin’s Roost. It is one of the principal houses sworn to House Baratheon. House Connington’s vast, historical lands, which extend many leagues north, west, and south, were restored by House Targaryen following the Second War of Conquest. They are so vast, they are said to match House Baratheon’s in size.

The current patriarch of the house is Lord Rodrik Connington.
