House Ryswell of the Rills rules in the extensive area between the Barrowlands and the Stony Shore.

Their blazon is a black horse's head, eyes and mane red, on bronze within a black engrailed border.[1] Their words are not mentioned in the books.

An old story tells that when seventy-nine deserters left the Wall, one of them was Lord Ryswell`s youngest son and decided to look for shelter at his father's keep. However, Lord Ryswell returned his son and his companions to the Wall where they were buried alive in the ice to stand the watch they had abandoned forever. Late in his life Lord Ryswell took the black to end his days watching behind his son.
