Behind the Scenes
The house is an homage to Roger Zelazny, a late colleague of George R. R. Martin.[5] Zelazny's most famous series is The Chronicles of Amber, which includes nine princes. The unicorns and the maze that feature in the coat of arms of House Rogers are mentioned in Zelazny's series. The Patternmaker's Maze in Braavos and Qarl Correy may also be references to Zelazny.
