Lannisport

A walled port city in the shadow of the Rock, home of the Lannister fleet.

The fuller tale

Lannisport spreads at the foot of Casterly Rock like a purse spilled from the vault above — the largest city of the west, walled and prosperous, home to the Lannister fleet and to enough cadet-branch Lannisters of Lannisport that gold hair is practically the civic uniform. It is the realm’s third city and knows it, content to bank what Oldtown and King’s Landing fight over.

Its scar is the Greyjoy Rebellion: Euron’s night raid burned the anchored Lannister fleet in its own harbor, the opening insult of Balon’s war and a debt the lions repaid at Pyke with interest. The story keeps Lannisport mostly as backdrop — tourneys, trade and the westward horizon — but the burned fleet lingers in every ironborn calculation: the krakens’ proof that the lions can be touched, once, at night, when no one is watching.

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.
