House Drumm
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
House Drumm of Drumm is an old noble house from the Iron Islands, tracing their story at least eight hundred years ago. Their seat is on the island of Old Wyk, considered the holiest by the ironmen and the first one that the first men colonized.
The Drumms hold the title "Lord of Great Wyk", suggesting that they have some type of sovereignity over the whole island and its other houses, such as the Stonehouses.
Neither their arms or their words appear in the text. On non canon sources the author blazons their shield as a bone hand, white on red.
The Drumm house owns a Valyrian steel sword called Red Rain, that was taken from knight years ago by Hilmar Drumm the Cunning with withs and a wooden cudgel. Due to the name and the colour of the sword, it is probable that the sword belonged to House Reyne.
Other famed past members of the house include Dale the Dred, Roryn the Reaver, and Gormond Drumm the Oldfather who sired a hundred sons.
