The Blackwood Vale lies between the Red Fork and the Blue Fork of the Trident, its western flank cut off by the foothills and mountains of the [[The_Westerlands|Westerlands]]. The vale is cloaked in towering forests, while the lands where the Trident’s three arms divide are especially green and fertile. Much of the terrain is gently rolling, yielding to rich river-vales in the south and rising to wooded hills toward the east. | The Blackwood Vale lies between the Red Fork and the Blue Fork of the Trident, its western flank cut off by the foothills and mountains of the [[The_Westerlands|Westerlands]].

The [[Blackwood]] Kings rule these lands from their seat at Raventree Hall. Raventree Hall is renowned for its towering stone walls, flanked by lofty square towers and encircled by a deep, stone-lined moat. Its most striking feature is the godswood: a vast, ancient grove dominated by a massive dead weirwood tree. Each dusk, hundreds of ravens descend to roost on its skeletal branches, a ritual that has endured for generations. <ref>George R. R.
