Jason Momoa, Lena Headey, Sean Bean

It's been a bloody and arduous journey, but the Game of Thrones cast has emerged from their first season unscathed, although we can't say the same for the characters they played.

Going into the finale Sunday (9/8c on HBO), the actors reflect on how difficult it is living in the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. So TVGuide.com asked them to weigh in on two very important Westerosi subjects:

1. What personal sigil would best represent you?

2. If you ascended to the Iron Throne in modern times, what would your first ruling as king or queen be?

Game of Thrones' Sean Bean stabbed, continues drinking

So here are their answers, which arrived via raven, naturally:

Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon, aka "The Usurper"

Sigil: It would be a gryphon, a creature with the body of a lion and a head of an eagle. I don't know why, but to be attacked by one of those would be pretty horrible.

First ruling: Free beer for everyone. Absolutely!

Sean Bean as Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark, aka "The Hand"

Sigil: Two crossed swords because it represents my football team, Sheffield United. That's their badge. The team has been relegated, by the way.

First ruling: Sheffield United gets promoted next season.

Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister, aka "Blonde Ambition"

Sigil: A big wooden sailing ship with a busty maiden shouting, "Ahoy, mate!!"

First ruling: Everyone has a limitless shopping day where they can go wherever they want, buy whatever they want, and no one asks if you want store credit.

Nicolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, aka "The Kingslayer"

Sigil: A pint of milk.

First ruling: Fawlty Towers marathon on all networks.

Game of Thrones postmortem: Sean Bean on Sunday's shocking events

Kit Harington as Jon Snow, aka "The Bastard"

Sigil: I immediately thought of one but it's not very cool. I'm a Capricorn. A Capricorn is a mountain goat isn't it? So I think that I'm a goat. I don't know, but it feels like it should be a wolf now honestly after doing this show. God knows what it was before, but now it's a wolf.

First ruling: I don't know. My mother would probably choose!

Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, aka "The Lost Stark"

Sigil: I wouldn't have a wolf because I'm not that strong, I'm not that powerful. I'd maybe have a ballerina because ballerinas have such grace and they also have strength within them, so that's probably me. I'm much stronger than Sansa is at the start but also I'm kind, caring I suppose. I'm Grade 7 ballet at the moment.

First ruling: No homework!

Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, aka "Boy"

Sigil: A turtle because they can go on land, they can go in sea. They're my favorite animal. They're really cute and they can grow up really big. They've got different types of turtles, there's snapping turtles and really cute ones, like, tiny ones. There's a good variety of them, and you never get bored.

First ruling: I would ban school uniforms for everyone, all over the world. They're so frustrating. At our school we have a thing called summer uniforms, and you're not allowed to take your jumper off when you're outside so you get really, really hot and our school uniform is black, so it's horrible. If you ban school uniforms then everyone could wear what they wanted to wear and you wouldn't get hot.

Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo, aka "My Sun and Stars"

Sigil: A lion. It's the king of the jungle. Have you ever seen a lion up close? Drogo walking with a gigantic lion. It's pretty rad.

First ruling: Free beer and free sex for everyone — free love that is. Back to the '60s, man. And no clothes ... except for Mark Addy!

Game of Thrones: How to speak (and curse!) like the Dothraki

Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, aka "Moon of My Life"

Sigil: I would be an element — water. Because as an actor you have to be changeable and water can be so many different things. Deep, like water. (laughs) We could go on for hours. The metaphor just keeps on going!

First ruling: There will be music playing in the streets, joyful, happy music. Reggae!

Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen, aka "The Dragon"

Sigil: I would love to say dragon because they are clearly the best sigil in Game of Thrones. But for me it would probably be something small and nocturnal. A bat? Dunno why.

First ruling: A two-week house party in Buckingham Palace.

George R.R. Martin, author, aka "A Cruel and Savage God"

Sigil: Probably something like a quill pen for a writer or something like that would be appropriate. But way back in the 1980s, I won the Hugo Award which is the biggest award for science fiction fantasy and it's shaped like a silver rocketship. I won two of them in a single year which no one had ever done before. And so for a while, my now wife, then my girlfriend, Paris, would make me these sigils of two crossed Hugos instead of crossed swords.

First ruling: Everybody has to get HBO.

Who has the best sigil and first ruling?

The Season 1 Game of Thrones finale airs Sunday at 9/8c on HBO.
