A/N: Hey guys, this is just a collection of drabbles concerning the House mottos of the major houses of Westeros, usually centering around one member of that House. This is my first time writing for the ASOIAF fandom, so please bear with me! XP As always, reviews are highly appreciated *hinthint. Mild spoilers through to A Dance with Dragons, so read at your own risk! (but please read ;D)
Disclaimer: George R. R. Martin owns the series. I only own the thoughts, dialogue, and actions that were not explicitly described in the books.
As High as Honor
All his life, Jon Arryn had been honorable and obedient. He was childless, so he looked upon his two young wards, dutiful Eddard Stark and jovial Robert Baratheon, as his sons, and loved them as if they were.
When King Aerys II demanded those two boys, Jon Arryn disobeyed, for the first time. He had sworn to protect them, and so he raised his banners in revolt, knowing that everything was about to change.
Later, Ned approached him and asked, "Why did you refuse the King? Isn't loyalty important?"
"Loyalty is valued," Jon replied, "but not as high as honor."
Depending on the amount of reviews and how often inspiration strikes me, I'll try to update once a day, in alphabetical order of the major Houses. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to PM me or review (or both) and let me know! Thanks for reading :)
