House Lannister words, A Game of Thrones

Hear Me Roar!

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The command demands recognition of the house’s strength before it does anything. Its confidence depends on a reputation that every Lannister inherits and must maintain.

Spoilers for A Game of ThronesShow the scene

“Hear Me Roar!” is the official House Lannister motto, distinguished from the widely repeated saying about paying debts. The house words are printed in the first novel’s family material and independently listed in Westeros.org’s heraldry. No individual character is credited for the collective motto.
