    21:24 House Qoherys is made in mockery to the one of House Hoare, because it depicts the four skulls of the Last Hoare's four sons, amidst flames, in honor to Aegon ending the Hoare line as he told to the last Hoare : ''Before the sun sets, you line shall end''.

      Makes sense. Valyrians didn't have any sigils so, they made a new one in Westeros like the rest of them.
      That, and this is an interesting backstory.

    karstarks having a sun as a sigil is not random, karhold is located on the very east of the north so they see the sun rising before the others houses. same thing can be seen in the martell sigil and the tarth sigil, both are also located on the east.

    When I was designing sigils and flags for my own sci-fi book series The Godsend Epic, I looked into every sigil in A Song of Ice and Fire to make sure I didn't unintentionally take any from George R.R. Martin. Some have subtle nods to the Westerosi sigils like House Kame having a blue eagle on a black field surrounded by the phases of the moon, which is reminiscent of House Arryn, while others were inspired by history and mythology like House Featherscales' sigil being a heart weighed against a feather on a golden scale on a green field, which is straight out of Egyptian mythology. It was a lot of fun coming up with them, although I only have less than 20 sigils, flags, and emblems in the first two books, Angel Odyssey and Angel Overload.

    I'm a big fan of Sisterman lore, or any Lovecraftian references in the world. The sistermen bear "the mark" or the webbing and its a sign of their God's blessing. They could have other marks as well, like the bulging eyes or drawn thin lips. Maybe they decend from the Deep Ones. Or took the lands from Deep Ones, maybe interbred. They worship the sea and air gods and see storms as their Gods' sacred children.
