Crag
The Crag is the seat of House Westerling in the westerlands. It is more of a ruin than a castle as the Westerlings no longer have the funds to maintain it. It sits along the coast[1] of the Sunset Sea, south of Banefort, northwest of Ashemark, and northeast of Fair Isle.[2]
History
King Jaehaerys I Targaryen visited the castle in 55 AC.[3]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
During the War of the Five Kings, King Robb Stark and his force in the westerlands march on the Crag.[4] News is received at Riverrun that Robb has taken the castle.[5]
A Storm of Swords
The Crag was stormed, with Smalljon Umber and Black Walder Frey scaling the walls, while Robb broke through the main gate. Robb took a wound and was nursed back to health by Jeyne Westerling. During the nursing, Robb deflowered Jeyne, and being an honorable man, married her shortly thereafter. As a consequence of that, the Westerlings joined with House Stark.[6]
Rolph Spicer, the castellan of the Crag, receives Castamere for his betrayal of Robb in the Red Wedding.[7]
