Editing House Royce (section)

==Customs==
The Royces are proud of their descent from the [[First Men]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: House Arryn}} They have a suit of ancient [[bronze]] armor inscribed with [[runes]] that is thought to make its wearer immune to injury.{{ref|AGOT|28}} Many [[Lords of Runestone]] have died while wearing the armor, however, and Maester [[Denestan]] speculates it is not as ancient as believed.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Vale: House Arryn}} Ser [[Andar Royce|Andar]] and Ser [[Robar Royce]] have silvered [[steel]] plate filigreed in bronze with the same ancient runes of their father, Lord [[Yohn Royce]].{{ref|AGOT|28}}

According to a semi-canon source, the Royces control several ports and do not depend on [[Gulltown]] for its commerce.<ref name="twow">''[[The Winds of Winter]]'', [[Alayne I (The Winds of Winter)|Alayne I]]</ref>
