House Greyjoy words, A Game of Thrones
We Do Not Sow.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The short boast makes taking from others sound like independence. It also exposes how thoroughly the house defines itself through an inherited refusal.

“We Do Not Sow” is House Greyjoy’s motto, listed in the appendix of A Game of Thrones and repeated throughout the series. It expresses the Iron Islands’ raiding identity rather than a single character’s spoken declaration. The credit therefore names the house words instead of assigning them to Theon or Balon.
