Castle Cerwyn

el castillo Cerwyn

Castle Cerwyn is the seat of House Cerwyn, a northern stronghold set on the western branch of the White Knife, half a day's ride from Winterfell.

Its place in the story lies less in its stones than in the ravens that pass through it: during the years of war, the castle serves as a relay point for urgent messages travelling between the North and the rest of the realm.
