House Odard is a noble house residing in Durnbarrow. They are rarely mentioned in the books, although they are said to be one of the oldest of the Great Noble Houses of Durnbarrow. The House Odard's sigil is a black anvil against a blue field, and their motto is " Niet Zonder Arbyt" (Dutch for 'nothing without work').

They are commonly known for their dedication (particularly to the miliary), and their ownership of Silver Keep, where the majority of weaponry for the King's Army is created.

It is believed that the Odards have foreign ancestory (and thus their strange traits), although they are very secretive as to their history in general and no one can prove nor deny ties to various foreign countries and races.
