The Order of the Green Hand was a knightly order founded by House Gardener, the Kings of the Reach, whose sigil was a green hand. Only those both virtuous and skilled in arms were offered membership. The last members of the Order died with King Mern IX Gardener at the Field of Fire during the Aegon's Conquest.[1] However, the knights of House Manderly still claim membership in the Order, as the Manderlys had previously been exiled from the Reach.[2]
