How it works

The name you type is folded into a number, and that number drives every choice: which sentence shape the words take, which nouns and adjectives fill it, what your banner shows and on what colour, what your seat is called, and which region it stands in. Nothing is random. Type the same name tomorrow, on a different device, and you will get the same words back — which is exactly why the link is worth sending, because the person who opens it sees the result you saw rather than a fresh roll of the dice.

Everything happens in your browser. There is no server, no account and nothing stored: the name you type never leaves the page except in the share link you choose to copy.

What you get

Your words — three to six of them, in one of six sentence shapes, so mottos read like mottos rather than like a bag of nouns.
Your banner, written as a blazon: a charge, a tincture, an arrangement and a field. Described in words, not drawn — if you want a picture, the banner reading draws one.
Your seat and region — a castle name built from two halves, standing somewhere among the eight regions.
A short reading, which is mostly there to be smug at you about what you have just committed to.

It will never hand you a real motto

Every set of words this page can produce was assembled from lists written for it, and every candidate is checked against a list of the actual house mottos from the books before it is shown. If a draw collides with a real one, it is thrown away and redrawn. That check exists because handing you somebody else's famous line as though this page invented it is precisely the thing a fan tribute should not do.

This is fan-made, and unofficial

This is a free, unofficial fan tool — an unofficial fan tribute, made for fun. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to George R. R. Martin, HBO, or any official Game of Thrones property.

The vocabulary, the sentence shapes and the readings were all written for this page. No text from the books or the show is reproduced here, and no artwork, logo, screenshot or typeface from either appears anywhere on it. Iron Realms, the game the rest of this site is about, is an original fantasy strategy game with its own world and no connection to Westeros. This corner is separate on purpose.

More diversions

The fan tributes hub has the rest — a region sorting quiz, a daily lore round, a sigil bracket and a banner reading. The one that started it is the Which Great House Are You? quiz. Or go and play Iron Realms, free, in the browser.
