Seat | Sweetport Sound |
Head | Guncer Sunglass |
Region | Dragonstone |
Title | Lord of Sweetport Sound |
Overlord | House Baratheon of Dragonstone |
House Sunglass of Sweetport Sound is a noble house sworn to Dragonstone, with an old and deep faith in the Seven Gods. The exact location of Sweetport Sound has not been stated.
Their blazon is composed by seven golden seven-pointed stars in a ring on white.[1][2] Originally, George R. R. Martin had envisioned the seven stars being silver, but after seeing the heraldry rendered he considered that silver and white did not differentiate themselves enough. Their motto does not appear in the books.
