The House of the Dzur is closely associated with battle (as is House Dragon). Dzur are known more as lone warriors than military leaders or strategic thinkers. They are naturally combat-oriented and tend toward heroism, recklessness, courage and honor. Members of the house are typically referred to as Dzurlords, and those who have achieved a certain rank are labelled Dzur Heroes. The House of the Dzur is among the rare elite Houses that allows outsiders to become fully fledged Dzur, provided that they defeat, in equal combat, seventeen of the best Dzur fighters chosen by the House.
