House History: The Umbers are hardy people, tempered by the rough northern climate. They control the harsh land along the Bay of Seals, bordering the Gift and extending west to the Kingsroad - a place of wild hills and ancient forests of oak and pine. Its proximity to the Wall puts them at risk of wildling raids and they have often been called upon to help defend against wildling raiders. Most notably, the Umbers joined the Starks in defeating Kings Beyond the Wall such as Raymun Redbeard and the brothers Gendel and Gorne. A cousin of Lord Umber's was carried off in a wildling raid.
During Robert's Rebellion, the Umbers followed Ned Stark to war, with both of Mors "Crowfood" Umber's sons dying at the Battle of the Trident. More recently, after Ned's arrest in King's Landing, House Umber answered Robb Stark's call to arms, with Umber men led by Greatjon following him south, leaving his uncles Mors "Crowfood" and Hother "Whoresbane" in command at the Last Hearth. Despite an initial row, Lord Umber became one of Robb's strongest supporters and fiercest battle commanders. Lord Umber's eldest son, the Smalljon, rides as one of Robb's personal guard. Following the death of Ned Stark, House Umber supports Robb as his heir, with the Greatjon proclaiming him the King in the North.
