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.
