I got to thinking how many long standing houses have either completely ceased to exist or are in real danger of ceasing to exit.
House Tyrell: Gone. Grandma ain't having any babies to carry on the name.
House Lannister: Hanging on by a thread. All the heirs are dead. Jamie and Tyrion better get to it if they want the family name to live on.
House Bolton: Gone.
House Frey: Gone.
House Baratheon: Gendry is still rowing. Last of his line, I believe.
Umber: Gone.
Karstark: Gone.
The Stark family name is relying totally on Bran at this point.
Who else?
