House Stormcloak is one of the great Houses of Skyrim, and the principle noble House of Eastmarch. The House was founded by Mera Stormcloak, a commoner risen to nobility after being made a thane of Windhelm, the House having since risen to become the rulers of the great city. Their seat, the Palace of Kings, is an ancient and renowned castle known for being built by Ysgramor I after his conquest of Skyrim, serving as the province's historical capital until it was eventually moved to Solitude.
Their sigil is a white snow bear's head on a blue-grey field. Their words are "Hear Our Roar". This sigil has been adopted by the stormcloak faction of the ongoing Rebellion, whose blue colour stands in stark contrast with the red of the Third Empire's imperial banner.
