While the rebels prepared for a lengthy siege the Riverlands fell under attack by newly entered forces, as House Frey began attacking retreating Northern armies, and the Ironborn, lead by Quellon Greyjoy, began raiding the western shore of the rebel’s territories in particular, Seagard was attacked by wave upon wave of Ironborn. After the battle of the Trident, Lord Hoster Tully retreated along with the remaining rebel leaders to the town of Fairmarket, north of Riverrun. Their loyalty was a shining example throughout the realm as they continued to work to erode the bulk of the rebel’s faces. Though Lord Tully was quick to take up arms against the throne, there were several Houses that remained loyal to the Targaryen regime, such as Houses Darry, Goodbrook, Roote, Mooton, and later, Frey. Lord Hoster Tully supported the rebels during the Uprising, due in part to his daughters’ marriages to the traitors Lord Eddard Stark and Lord Jon Arryn. Members of the family tend to have auburn hair, high cheekbones, and bright blue eyes.

Their sigil is a silver trout leaping on a blue and red striped field, and their words are Family, Duty, Honor. Unlike many Great Houses the Tullys never ruled as kings, but held Riverrun for a thousand years as powerful vassals of those who did.

House Tully rose to prominence during the War of Conquest, when Lord Edmyn Tully led the rebel river lords who deserted King Harren the Black and joined Aegon the Conqueror. Following the burning of Harrenhal, Edmyn was rewarded with dominion over the riverlands as the Lord Paramount of the Trident. House Tully is an old noble house of First Men origin, dating back to the Age of Heroes. House Tully of Riverrun is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, and rule over the Riverlands from their seat Riverrun. The Tullys drew their strength from the river, and it was to the river they returned when their lives had run their course.
