Distantly related to the Targaryens (as so many Stormlords in the time since Aegon's Conquest have been), House Velt was quite proud of its connections. Founded by a Targaryen bastard, Ser Dominic Storm was known as a quiet, pale man and master of spies. He took for his sigil an owl, white with Valyrian violet eyes, on a night-black background. Some say that House Velt is cursed; others simply assume it is the bastard's blood in their lineage coming to the fore, as they have seen bad luck in recent days. Today, they are known as the rivals to House Seraen, and for their greed. They also have a reputation as Targaryen loyalists, although Lord Larrus has gone to great lengths to put that reputation behind his family.

Members of the House

• Lord Larrus Velt: Lord of the House. The youngest sibling of his generation of Velts, Larrus is also the only one left alive. His older brothers died on the Targaryen side of Robert's Rebellion, and his father refused to bend the knee even when Lord Swann did, forcing Lord Swann to execute the man. The last of his family, Larrus was but a boy when he became Lord Velt. Lord Larrus is a practical and reclusive man, seemingly content with his lot. His features are distinctly Valyrian. (35 years)
• Lady Aldia Velt: Lady of the House. Daughter of Ser Manus the Drake, Aldia grew up in House Velt. After
• Pramia Velt: X
• Quayle Velt: X
• Marshall Velt: X
• Dimesia Velt: Lord Larrus' mother, Dimesia is in many ways the real power in Owlkeep. An older woman well-advanced in her years, Dimesia is bitter and scheming and well-known for harboring all manner of resentments and grudges. She also still mourns the death of her husband, and has never been in the presence of Lord Swann since her husband's execution.

Retainers of the House

• Ser Manus the Drake: A man in his fifties, Ser Manus was called "the Drake" because everyone suspected he had Freehold blood in his lineage somewhere, due to his pale blonde hair and deep blue eyes. A knight who fought with the Targaryens in his day, only his duty to keeping Owlkeep safe allowed him to surrender his sword. Ser Manus now serves as the Castellan and Master at Arms for Owlkeeps forces. His squire is the young Quayle, the Velt heir.
