Wendish Town

A small riverside town in the Mallister lands — the kind of place armies burn on their way somewhere else.

The fuller tale

Wendish Town is a riverside village in the Mallister lands, and its place in the story is to be the evidence. When raiders in unmarked mail put the riverlands to fire and sword at the war’s opening, Wendish Town burns with the rest — and its name is spoken in the throne room of King’s Landing by survivors seeking the king’s justice, part of the testimony that sends Ned Stark’s sentence against Gregor Clegane and lights the fuse of open war. The tale is full of great castles; it needs its Wendish Towns to show what the great castles’ games cost, and who pays.

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