If, like me, you are interested in understanding all the details or who is who and what is what - with all them damn hundreds of names - as you re-read the books you might want to take some time browsing through this heraldry. It tells a lot of history and who from each house have played what role in the story (up through aSoS, and the two Hedge Knight stories - yes, Duncan the Tall is there!) with nice little brief synopses. Also, the cool designs of the different house heraldry help as a retainer of all the information.

The rest of the site is neat, but this heraldry stuff is my favorite part.
