These are the families or clans to choose from. The purpose is to give you a feel of your character’s place in the world and how they would relate to those around them. That being said, your character is yours and the detail is simply meant to enrich the world we are going to play in. The intent is not to hinder or overwhelm so don’t be afraid if it seems like a lot. Just because you are of that house doesn’t mean you are limited in how you react to people. If your character wants to be a sadistic jerk while as House Tully then that is fine because it is YOUR character. We are not trying to recreate the stories in any way, we are just playing around in the world so go ahead and be free.

Bastards:
Bastards are children which were born illegitimately. So for example would a child of the king with one of the in town or any other woman, which is not his wife be a bastard.
They don't have a high status and usually have a rather hard life. They need to prove themselves even more than legitime children and need to show each single day that they are still worth to be on this eart.
Each of the regions in Westeros has a different surname taken by bastards to identify their status. These are the following names:
The North - Snow
The Iron Islands - Pyke
The Westerlands - Hill
The Riverlands - Rivers
The Vale - Stone
The Crownlands - Waters
The Reach - Flowers
The Stormlands - Storm
Dorne - Sand
