Game of Thrones: History and Geography of House Staedmon


House Staedmon of Broad Arch is one of the noble houses from the Stormlands sworn to the Baratheons of Storm's End. Their castle is Broad Arch.
Neither their arms nor their motto appear in the books. In a semi-canon source they blazon the arms as a black dagger piercing a red heart on white de sang within an undulating red border.
