House Highhand

House Highhand of The Highhand is a minor noble family of the North, and a vassal to House Arritaver of Northwatch. A cadet branch of House Lynnoth, it was established after the War for the Throne when King Mathius I Lynnoth appointed his brother Landen Lynnoth, who was known as the "High Hand", to the position of Magistrate of the North. Landen constructed an eponymous fort to serve as his seat of power.

After the fall of House Lynnoth and the rise of House Wrynn once again, the Highhands have been deprived of their position as the Magistrate of the North for their support towards the Lynnoths during the Reclamation War, and are now vassals of House Arritaver, who are distantly related to the Highhands.

The family coat-of-arms of the Highhands reflects their relationship to the Lynnoths, which is their reverse: a golden rearing bull on a field of black.
