Westerlands

Line 62:

Despite its rough terrain, the Kingdom of the Rock is one of the most prosperous regions in Westeros. At its heart stands Casterly Rock, a massive mountain fortress originally carved out by House Casterly and later expanded into an unassailable stronghold. House Lannister, who succeeded them, pushed the kingdom's borders to their current extent and founded Lannisport the second-largest city on the continent.

Since the coming of the Andals, the Lannisters have grown greatly in wealth and power. The writ of Casterly Rock now runs from Crakehall to Goldmarch, and as far deep into the mountains as [[Ashmark]], [[Denslane]], and [[Silverhill]]. The coming of the Andals has also brought the Andal faith to the Westerlands, where it was discovered that the founder of House Lannister might well have been an Andal himself. The rapid growth of the Westerlands since the re-opening of [[Lann's Sept]] has been seen by the ruling Lannisters as a sign of the Gods, and the Andal faith was adopted by the Kings of House Lannister wholesale during the era of King Tyrion I.

The Kingdom of the Rock is a stable power in the West, one that has expanded considerably in all directions in the last few decades. Yet divisions of culture, faith, and loyalties still remain, and may prove to be this young realm's undoing.
