Torrhen's Square

A square towered keep named for the King Who Knelt.

The fuller tale

TorrhenÔÇÖs Square is a tidy castle of square towers south-west of Winterfell, seat of the Tallharts and named for the King Who Knelt ÔÇö the last King in the North, who chose bent knee over burned host when the dragons came. There is a quiet irony in a fortress commemorating the NorthÔÇÖs most famous surrender, and the war sharpens it: the ironborn strike the Square as a feint, WinterfellÔÇÖs garrison gallantly rides out to relieve it, and Theon walks into the emptied castle behind them. TorrhenÔÇÖs Square is the trick that costs the Starks their home ÔÇö a lesson old Torrhen, who understood exactly when a fight is the wrong answer, might grimly have appreciated.
