House Upcliff is a noble house from the Witch Isle off the coast of the Vale of Arryn. According to semi-canon sources, they blazon their arms with a cresting wave, sea green on black.[2] Their words are not known.

The Upcliffs have a sinister reputation.[1]

History

House Upcliff dates back to the Age of Heroes. During the coming of the Andals to the Vale of Arryn, Ursula Upcliff supported Robar II Royce, High King of the Vale, the Fingers, and the Mountains of the Moon. Ursula was slain by Torgold Tollett in the Battle of the Seven Stars.[1]

The marriage of Arwen Upcliff to Alester II Arryn, King of Mountain and Vale, brought Witch Isle into the realm of House Arryn of the Eyrie.[1]
