North

Line 15:

=== The Rills: ===

The Rills are an expanse of hills, valleys and streams that lie to the west of the Barrowlands. There are still some barrows in these parts, but the Rills have gradually developed a keen sense of their own identity, revolving particularly around horsemanship. The Houses of the Rills almost all take arms and names relating to their prized steeds. By the time of the Coming of the Andals they were ruled by the Kings of House Ryder, and their vassals included House Ryswell, House Charge, and House Ironsmith - the latter being one of the few First Men Houses to pride their ironworking.

=== The Clans of the Wood: ===

The great forest which expands through the north and western reaches of the North is among the oldest and wildest in all of Westeros. It has been given many names by the many peoples and kings that have laid claim to it, and those same Great Houses have named themselves after the territory they ruled; Blackwood, Greenwood, Amberwood, Wolfswood. There are those who live their entire lives without walking in an open field or seeing the sea. The Wolfswood Clans have a fierce sense of tribal identity, and are some of the best hunters in Westeros. After centuries untold of conflict, no one king held sway here by the End of the Age of Heroes. Though the Blackwoods have been long since driven south, House Amber, House Greenwood, House Glover and the Warg King Gaven Greywolf still were competing for control of the forests by the time of the Coming of the Andals.
