House Chester of Greenshield rules over one of the Shield Islands. The Shield Islands are a considerable sea strength and were the first line of defense during the days that the Ironborn pirates tried to sail up the Mander to sack the wealth of the Reach.
Their blazon is a green hand on a gold escutcheon on a green field, a border of red rayonne. Their words do not appear in the books.
