House Tully

House Tully of Riverrun is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms. Lord Brynden Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Trident, rules over the riverlands from the Tully seat of Riverrun. Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field. Their words are "Family, Duty, Honor."

Traits
Members of House Tully tend to have fair skin, red-brown (i.e. auburn) hair, and blue eyes in a variety of shades.

Customs
Although Riverrun still has a godswood, House Tully follows the Faith of the Seven.

Tully funeral customs decree that a deceased member is placed on a small boat. Men might be clad in their armor and surcoat, with a wooden sword and shield. They are placed on their cloak, among stones to make the boat heavy in the water, and driftwood, kindling and scraps of parchement to allow it to catch fire. In honor of the Seven, seven men are chosen to push the funereal boat to the water. Using a flaming arrow, the boat is lit afire.
