When the Game of Thrones series first began, House Lannister was seen as the richest and most powerful of all the Noble Houses in Westeros. Common phrases like "As rich as a Lannister" were known to all and the gold mines within their ancestral home were legendary.

The most infamous song about House Lannister was called "The Rains of Castamere," which told the story of the utter destruction of House Reyne by House Lannister.

From the incestuous relationship between Cersei and Jaime to the poor decisions that caused a number of deaths within House Lannister, there is a multitude of questions that are still left unanswered about the fate of this Noble House.
