== The Kingswood and the Wendwater ==
== The Kingswood and the Wendwater ==


The northernmost part of the primeval wood that stretches across the Stormlands - the Kingswood, like its sister-forest down south, is vast, fertile, and old. Swept by winds billowing in from the [[Blackwater Bay|Blackwater]] and Shipbreaker Bay, the rustling of trees swaying in the wind goes hand-in-hand with the sound of saws and foresters harvesting timber. There is a great number of streams and small brooks flowing in the woods, and from the coast of the Blackwater runs the Wendwater River, making fertile ground for both the Stormmen and Andal settlers that reside there.

Here, [[House Fell]] and [[House Blackheart]] dominate the woods within the Stormlands, harvesting large quantities of lumber to build ships, forts, houses, and tools across Westeros. Outside, newly landed Andals such as [[House Pyle]] have found rich, fertile land to consolidate their rule over.

Shielded from the worst excesses of the autumn storms and the dry battlegrounds of the marches - the grasslands, woods and farms west of Storm's End are the breadbasket of the Stormlands and where virtually all inland trade occurs, primarily with the [[The Reach|Reach]].

Though not as renowned as the warrior-lords that dominate the region's history, the lords of the Meadows have a penchant for diplomacy and reflection that many other Stormmen lack. Strife is not common here, and where feuds are resolved by [[blood-prices]] and calm mediation. Content in their godswoods and their enduring rule, the Western Meadows are rarely disturbed, a state of affairs they are in no great rush to change.
