House Wode is a noble house of landed
knights sworn to House Whent of Harrenhal in the riverlands. Their lands lie
close to the border with the crownlands; Sow's Horn is nearby. According to
semi-canon sources the Wodes blazon their arms with three white hedgehogs on
yellow. Their motto is "Touch Me Not".

seat of House Hogg, resists Amory Lorch.
