Game of Thrones: History and Geography of House Fell


House Fell of Felwood is a noble house sworn to Storm's End. Their seat is Felwood in the northern stormlands.
Either their arms or their words appear in the books, but according to semi-canon sources their arms are blazoned per fess, a white crescent moon in the first on black above a green field, a sprucetree line between.

History
Ser Willis Fell was a member of the Kingsguard of King Viserys I Targaryen. He remained loyal to King Aegon II Targaryen during the Dance of the Dragons, and was charged with bringing Princess Jaehaera to Storm's End when Rhaenyra Targaryen took King's Landing.
At the beginning of the Dance of the Dragons, Lady Fell was executed for refusing to renounce her oaths to Rhaenyra Targaryen.
In 209 AC, Ser Thurgood Fell rode in the tourney at Ashford Meadow. At the beginning of Robert's Rebellion, Lord Fell remained loyal to the Iron Throne and together with Lords Grandison and Cafferen planned to join their forces to bring Lord Robert Baratheon's head to King Aerys II Targaryen. Robert defeated them one by one at battles at Summerhall, slaying Lord Fell in single combat and capturing his son Silveraxe, who turned to Robert's side afterwards.
