Crakehall

Seat of the boar-sigiled Crakehalls, big men with big appetites.

The fuller tale

Crakehall breeds them big. The brindled boar flies over one of the west’s strongest seats, and the family runs to size and appetite in equal measure — Strongboar, the house’s celebrated knight, is the kind of man who finds wars the way other men find taverns. The castle’s footnote in the greater tale is formative: Jaime Lannister squired at Crakehall, won his spurs from its wars, and was still half a boy of its training yard when a white cloak and a mad king finished his education. The boars of Crakehall fight in every Lannister host of the story, loudly, and mostly survive — the west’s best argument that subtlety is optional.

The fallen of this place — if any, they are named here. Spoilers.

No death the chronicle records has come to this ground — or none the maesters have set down.
