House Shawney is a noble house from the riverlands. Neither their coat of arms nor their motto appear in the books. According to semi-canon sources, they blazon their arms with per fess: blue, red, green above, a white catfish on black below. The upper colors represent the three forks of the Trident.[1]

The name and location of their seat has not been published yet. It is possibly located in the south west part of the riverlands.[N 1]

Notes

  1. To reach Whitewalls (east side of the God's Eye), Lord Shawney took the same ferry as Dunk and Egg, who came from Stoney Sept (west side of the God's Eye). Lord Costayne, who probably came from the Reach, also took this ferry. This points towards the location of the Shawney seat to be somewhere in the south west part of the riverlands.
