House Flint of the mountains is the formal name given to the mountain clain of the Flints at the North that inhabit the high mountains north of the Wolfswood.
Probably, by anology with other clans, its chief is known as "The Flint", although at Winterfell the treatment of "Lord Flint" would be used.
Their arms or motto do not appear in the books, neither has the author submitted them in non canon material.

Any member from the Flints of the mountains has appeared on the books, besides the passing mention that Eddard's maternal grandmather was from this clan.
