1. House Forrester
You take control of three members of House Forrester, a minor House from the north that controls a forest called the Wolfswood. They’re known for producing Ironwood and making sturdy shields for their soldiers to wield. Though they have no screen-time on the Game of Thrones TV show and they’re barely even mentioned in the books, it is known that the Forresters have been loyal bannermen to House Stark for a pretty long time. They also answered the call when Robb Stark named himself the King in the North and marched towards King’s Landing to avenge his father’s death.
The three protagonists you’ll get to know throughout Game of Thrones are Gared, Mira, and Ethan. Gared serves as a squire to Lord Forrester, Mira is currently in King’s Landing serving as handmaiden to Lady Margaery, while Ethan is back home playing hide-and-seek with his siblings.
