History
House Kenning of Kayce was founded by Herrock Kenning, an ironborn warrior from House Kenning of Harlaw.[3] During the decline of the driftwood kings of the ironborn, Herrock the Whoreson used his horn as a signal for the whores of Kayce to open a postern gate, allowing his men to take the town for House Lannister, the Kings of the Rock.[4]
Herrock's warhorn, the Horn of Herrock, is passed down amongst the family as an heirloom.[5]
