Every place on the map
-
Winterfell
Castle
Seat of House Stark since the Age of Heroes, by the North’s count: two walls of granite, a godswood, and hot springs beneath it all.
-
Wintertown
Town
The town under Winterfell’s walls: four houses in five empty in summer, crowded when winter drives the smallfolk in from their holdings.
-
Castle Black
On the Wall
Seat of the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, open on three sides, where the kingsroad ends at the foot of the ice.
-
Eastwatch-by-the-Sea
On the Wall
Where the Wall runs down into the Bay of Seals; one of three castles the Watch still mans, and its harbour for ships.
-
The Shadow Tower
On the Wall
The westernmost of the three castles the Watch still mans, standing against the mountains near the Gorge.
-
The Nightfort
Ruin
First and largest castle on the Wall, abandoned two hundred years ago and left to the worst of the North’s tales.
-
The Gift
Ruin
Land fifty leagues deep below the Wall, given to the Watch in two grants; many of its villages stand empty now.

White Harbor
Town
The North’s one city, at the mouth of the White Knife on the Bite, ruled by House Manderly from the New Castle.

Bear Island
Island
Mormont country out in the Bay of Ice: forest, bears and fisherfolk, and women who learned to hold it themselves.

Castle
The Glovers’ timber hall on a flat-topped hill in the wolfswood, near the Bay of Ice.

Barrowton
Town
House Dustin’s timber-walled town around the Great Barrow, where the First King of the First Men is said to lie.

Moat Cailin
Ruin
Three towers left of twenty where the Neck opens into the North; no army from the south has ever taken them.

Forest
Bog and drowned forest between two seas, home of the crannogmen; the kingsroad crosses it on a narrow causeway.

Forest
The great forest west of Winterfell, oak, pine and ironwood running to the sea, loud with wolves after dark.
