House Goldfang of Wolf's Den is a nwly made cadet branch of House Stark. Their designated ancestral seat is Wolf's Den. It is a harbor city in the north which contains the Wolf's Den, the seat of House Goldfang. Located south of Winterfell, it is the largest settlement north of the Neck, but the smallest among the five major cities of Westeros. Wolf's Den is the north's primary trade port. Its location on the mouth of the White Knife provides opportunities for trade further north.
Due to its location White Harbor has more contact with the south and there are more knights and followers of the Faith of the Seven in White Harbor than anywhere else in the north. There are some followers of the old gods, but most follow the Faith.[2] The city has access to good fishing grounds and is also the home of many silversmiths.
Their House words are "Our Fangs Are Bared".
The current lord is Tytos Goldfang.
History[]
Origins and Location[]
During the reign of the Mad King, Genna Lannister had an illicit affair with Brandon Stark the year before his death. It wasn't until after Brandon's death in King's Landing that Genna discovered she was with child. Upon discovering her sister infidelity and that it was with a Stark, Tywin became disappointed with her and would not speak to her for quite some time.
At the start of the War of the Five Kings, Tytos was given the lordship of Wolf's Den after House Manderly tried to break away alongside the Sisters to form their own kingdom. From then on, the Goldfang's would rule over the Wolf's Den and the white knife.
