(Though Mira’s described as having “straightforward Northern ways are often at odds with the subtleties of court life,” so perhaps there’s some Arya in her as well.) Eldest daughter Mira is next, currently in King’s Landing serving as would-be Queen Margaery Tyrell’s handmaiden the similarities between Mira and sweet Sansa are plain as day. Rodrik is the eldest son, proudly and defiantly at war with the Lannisters, much like the late Robb. His wife is Lady Elissa of a minor Southron house, House Branfield she first viewed her marriage to Gregor as a punishment, but ultimately grew to love him, not unlike Catelyn Stark’s own history with Ned.įrom what Telltale has revealed, House Forrester’s family structure is remarkably similar to the Starks.Gregor and Elissa have five children, just like Ned and Catelyn. Lord Gregor is the Ned-like patriarch, strong and proud in his Northern roots. If Game of Thrones has heroes (and that’s an if), it’s the Starks, from the late Lord Eddard, the late Lady Catelyn, their late King-in-the-North son Robb, and their surviving children: royal hostage Sansa, fierce killer Arya, broken greenseer Bran, and chronically missing-in-action Rickon.įrom what Telltale has revealed, House Forrester’s family structure is remarkably similar to the Starks.

It’s an invaluable resource, especially in times of war - like the times currently ringing throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Their castle is surrounded by massive quantities of ironwood, hard and black trees used for making armor, shields, shelter and the like. To begin with, we know that the Forresters hail from Ironrath, a castle on the outskirts of the great Wolfswood in the northernmost kingdom of Westeros. Still, based on what we know of Westeros, and what little details Telltale has revealed, we can attempt to connect some dots. The interpersonal and political dynamics of House Forrester remain very much a mystery to book reader and show watcher alike they’re mentioned in Martin’s fifth novel, A Dance with Dragons, but only in casual passing. Such are the words of House Forrester, the noble house at the heart of Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series, set in the continuity of HBO’s Game of Thrones, and inspired by George R.R.
“Winter is coming.” “The North remembers.” These famous sayings from the northernmost corners of Westeros are about to be joined by another: “Iron from ice.”
