The Barrowlands consist of the vast and windswept plains and hills that stretch westwards from the northern boundaries of the North past Moat Cailin. The landscape of the Barrowlands is dominated by their eponymous barrows, usually graves of important men and women from this region. The runestones around the barrow are often of great significance, particularly the arrangement and runes carved on the cairn stones. Kings and warriors are often buried with their most prized possession - and truly can it be said in the Barrowlands that more honour is given to the dead than to the living. | The Barrowlands consist of the vast and windswept plains and hills that stretch westwards from the northern boundaries of the North past Moat Cailin.

The Barrowlands are ruled by House Dustin, the Barrow Kings, and their notable vassals include the Stouts and Brownbarrows. | ||
