On the northern shore of the God's Eye stands the largest castle in Westeros, raised by Harren the Black with five colossal towers and walls thicker than any other. Aegon's dragon melted its stone on the day it was finished.
Only parts of the ruin are habitable, and every family granted it has come to grief, which is why the smallfolk call it cursed. House Whent currently holds it, and its position near the Trident makes it valuable to anyone fighting for the riverlands.
