Acorn Hall
On this tab
Acorn Hall is the seat of House Smallwood, a castle built of oak and ringed with stone walls in the riverlands.
Its gates saw a king arrive on dragonback, an army that tried to slow a Lannister advance, and later an orphaned wolf girl looking for a lord who could not die.
Origins
Description and Visit of Jaehaerys I
House Smallwood's castle is built of oak within its outer stone wall, not the usual keep of hewn rock.
In the year 53 AC, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen stopped there during his progress through the realm, arriving on the back of Vermithor.

Dance of the Dragons
Acorn Hall became a battlefield during the Dance of the Dragons, when Lannister troops were crossing the riverlands.
Lord Petyr Piper's forces, joined with those of the castle's lord, managed to hold them there, though only for a while.

War of the Five Kings
Arya's Arrival
Lord Theomar Smallwood leaves the castle to follow his liege, Lord Vance, leaving his wife Lady Ravella in command while he is gone.
Within those walls Ravella receives Arya Stark and the Brotherhood without Banners, who are tracking down Lord Beric Dondarrion. She tells them the latest news of the war and feeds them before they move on.

What we are not sure about
Spanish nameWe worked it out
The Spanish name is the atlas’s own reviewed translation, not the one in the published Gigamesh edition, which does not fix it.
