House Kenning of Harlaw is a noble house from the Iron Islands. The Kennings were once bitter foes of House Harlaw, but were defeated and are now their vassals.[1] According to semi-canon sources it blazons its arms with the Storm God's cloudly hand, pale grey, yellow lightning flashing from the fingertips, on black.[2]
