The term Crannogman is predominantly used to describe the native culture of the Neck. To the outsider, they likely appear to be an entirely homogenous people - however as with all cultures, this is certainly not universally true. | The term Crannogman is predominantly used to describe the native culture of the Neck.

A gargantuan fortress, even in its ruins, Moat Cailin is the centre of Crannogmen power and the Neck where all denizens of the bog pay homage to the [[Clan Marsh|Marsh Kings]] that rule there. Erected long before the Crannogmen emerged as a people, Moat Cailin was among the mightiest of the great holdfasts the original [[First Men]] erected, trailing dust and blood and sorrow all the way from [[Dorne]] in the [[Dawn Age]]. And in later centuries, it was the centre of where the [[Children of the Forest|singers]] turned the Neck into the swamps and fens it is today. | |||
=== Greywater Watch === | === Greywater Watch === | ||
The greatest fortress erected by the Crannogmen, and said to move amongst the swamps like a floating island. Greywater Watch is home to the [[Clan Reed|Reeds]], and dominates the south of the Neck as the first point of contact between any southron armies that seek to conquer the bogs. | |||
