Houses of the Reach, Their History, Castles and Characters | Map of the Known Houses of Westeros

Explore the Reach, the second-largest of the kingdoms of Westeros, the most fertile and heavily-populated. The home of Westerosi chivalry. Region, where Faith and Citadel bloom.
House Tyrell, Wardens of the South, rule the region, yet it was not always like that, and there are other ambitious Reach houses scheming around.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. Gotta say, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" is a haunting way to introduce it.

There's going to be separate, deep-dive video about Oldtown btw. In a week, hopefully.

if highgarden was in real life I would go there all the time

Highgarden is surrounded by three white stone walls.
Me: attack on titans!

The Reach is the ASOIAF equivalent of medieval France basically

Thank you for these wonderful videos! They're so helpful and very well done. I love the way you weave the history and mythology into the descriptions of the houses. subscribed!

Just noticed that this rendered video somehow jumps over house Bandallon... well anyhow, there was not much to tell about Bandallons. Their lands are there, where they're depicted, just before Florents.

Oldtown with its hightower of the Citadel reminds me of Alexandria and its Lighthouse that was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Another reason why is because Oldtown's library reminds me of the Library of Alexandria. Unfortunately both the Lighthouse and the Library of Alexandria no longer exist.

Hightowers should be ruling over the reach instead of Tyrells. They are much more strong, respected and older.

Their valyrian steel sword ‘Vigilance’ sums their vision and ideology about politics, as well as their coat of arms’ color gray does. Hightowers are semi-independent and they rarely take part in conflicts, yet they are one of the most strong houses in all westeros, they say hightowers are as rich as lannisters, maybe because they prefer trade and consensus rather than war and conflict and they stay neutral and impartial. Needless to say they have power and influence over both septons and maesters, they also rule the second biggest city in westeros. It’s really disappointing that we didnt see or hear about them more in the series, I hope they will be shown in the next books.

"Oakenshield"


Hmm where did the fan of J.R.R Tolkien, George R R Martin get inspiration for that name from??

[KTChamberlain]

Saruman's sigil was a white hand and he was notorious for embodying industry at its worst with how he ravaged the greenery in an around Isengard, while the sigil for House Greenhand is literally a green hand and his kingdom was fertile, fruitful, and quite the opposite of Saruman's hellhole.

Bitterbridge looks a lot like the Twins of house Frey.

Orphan-maker, Joffrey would have loved this

House Peake will get their two castles back, when Aegon Blackfyre & The Golden Company take the throne and will make this injustice undone.

[g-rexsaurus]

I wonder, how do you estimate the borders and size of each Houses´ zone?

[fjdragon]

I have waited all Spring! Awesome! :-)
