House Blackgard

House Blackgard of Ebonheart is a Great House of Westeros and is the Ruling House of the Borderlands. They are Lords of Ebonheart, Lord Paramounts of the Borderlands and Wardens of the South. Their Sigil is white black swords on a black and white and grey background. Their Words are “None Shall Pass”. The current Head of House is Lord Gellert Blackgard.

Founded by a bastard of House Durrandon of Storm’s End, the Blackgards served as assassins of the Storm Kings before leading a rebellion in the Stormlands and the Reach claiming the land they conquered as their own with the name of the Borderlands. For centuries House Blackgard rose to power becoming the most powerful Southern House. They were the final Great House to submit to Aegon the Conqueror.
