Acorn Hall
Torreón Bellota
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.

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.
