The Houses in A Song of Ice and Fire are families and their households. They vary in size, and the most political, economic, and military power is wielded by the Great Houses, and their whims form the story of A Song of Ice and Fire. Smaller houses often pledge as bannermen to the Great Houses in return for some protection of their own interests. The smallfolk, or common folk, find themselves under the domain of these houses.
