Westerlands is a place
Terrain and Culture
The Westeralnds are located Northwest of Westeros. They lie off the coast of the Sunset Sea, with the lands of the river in the east and the kingdom of the Reach to the south.
The land is filled with rugged hills and tall mountains in the most northern parts and large plains and fertile fields in the southern part, near Crakehall Keep. The area is filled with mines of silver and gold, which provided the lord who controlled it with a great source of wealth and power.
Great keeps and Notable Houses
To the north, along the Sunset Sea, stands Banefort, the ancient seat of the Hooded Kings of House Banefort. Nearby lies Provence, the ancestral stronghold of House Broome and gateway to the land of the rivers. Further south sits the Crag, home of House Westerling. Following the coast, one comes upon Castamere, the mostly underground fortress of House Reyne. Across the sea lies Fair Isle, ruled by House Farman.
Further down the coast is Kayce, seat of House Kenning, who govern Lann's Point under the watchful eye of the Kings of the Rock. At the heart of Lannisport Bay lies the bustling town sharing the same name, and towering above it is Casterly Rock, the great mountain fortress of House Lannister, Kings of the Rock. The final major coastal stronghold is Crakehall Keep, seat of the old Crakehall kings.
Inland, the terrain becomes rougher, ruled by the Western clans and fortified houses. Among them are Ashmark, held by House Ash, the Golden Tooth, seat of House Root, Hornvale, home of House Horn; and finally, Payne Hall, held by House Payne.
