Winterfell
The ancient stronghold of the Kings of Winter, held in this age by Lord Beron Stark ÔÇö far from the tale's tourneys, busy driving Dagon Greyjoy's reavers from his shores.
The fuller tale
Winterfell in this era belongs to Lord Beron Stark, and the ancient stronghold of the Kings of Winter sits, as it usually does, at a considerable remove from whatever tourney or wedding is currently absorbing the southÔÇÖs attention ÔÇö the NorthÔÇÖs politics run on a different clock, measured in seasons and reavers rather than in successions and trials of seven. Lord BeronÔÇÖs more pressing business in these years is driving Dagon GreyjoyÔÇÖs longships off his own shores, a duty considerably less romantic than anything happening at Ashford Meadow but, to the fisherfolk actually being raided, a great deal more urgent.
The chronicle here
- Near Stoney Sept, Dunk and Egg pass gibbets heavy with hanged men ÔÇö Lord Wyl's brigands, taken by the king's men. The realm is uneasy: Bloodraven hunts traitors, and rumor says the black dragon stirs. Dunk turns their road north, meaning to winter at Winterfell. (TMK 1)
