Bandallon
Bandallon is the seat of House Blackbar, standing on the coast of the Reach, northwest of Oldtown.
Its place in the record owes nothing to war or famous bloodlines, but to two visits from King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, who stopped there during two royal progresses through the Reach more than three decades apart.
