House Vance of Atranta is one of the two great branches of House Vance in the Riverlands, the other being House Vance from Wayfarer's Rest.
Neither their arms or their motto appear on the books. In noncanon material the author has blazoned the arms of this branch of House Branch as quartered, a green dragon on white and a white tower on black.
