Symbolism
The House Stark banner, a direwolf on a white background, is a reference to their northern origin and lifestyle. Throughout the history of Westeros, the Starks have alway had a feeling of a manner of gritty fear for the impeding threat of the White Walkers. This manner of life has bread extraordinary stoicism and loyalty within the Starks, one of their chief characteristics, and the reason Amy fans side with them. Their surname, "Stark", one reminiscent of the First Men, is an accurate description of where they come from: the barren land of the North.
