In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Velaryon is an ancient and proud house, with the blood of old Valyria in its veins. Some members were married into House Targaryen before and after the War of Conquest. Velaryons, like the Targaryens are born with the Valyrian features of silver-blond hair and purple eyes. They rule over Driftmark, the largest island of the Blackwater Bay, and are sworn to Dragonstone. Their arms depict a silver seahorse on sea green and their titles are Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark. Their words do not appear in the books, but according to semi-canon sources they are "The Old, the True, the Brave".
