Dyre Den

Refugio de Malacosta

Dyre Den is the castle of House Brune of Dyre Den, built on a sea cliff at the point where the road out of Maidenpool ends. It isn't a place anyone stumbles upon: the path leading up to its towers is hidden in a cleft in the rock.

Its name enters the story through a brief episode: while searching for a jester looking to take ship elsewhere, Brienne of Tarth passed by its walls without going in.

Chapter 1

Three crooked towers

Books only

The castle is small, with three towers that lean rather than stand straight. It sits on the edge of a cliff above the sea, at the far end of the road running from Maidenpool.

Reaching it means climbing a steep, stony path, partly cut into steps in the rock itself, hidden in a cleft in the cliff face. It is the seat of House Brune of Dyre Den.

Chapter 2

The jester's trail

Books only

Dick Crabb, Brienne of Tarth, and Podrick Payne passed by the castle without stopping, following the trail of a jester who wanted passage on a ship from the area.

The physical world

Se llega por un sendero pedregoso y empinado, oculto en una hendidura de la roca y con algunos peldaños tallados.
