Hayford
Hayford is the castle that lends its name to its own house, built on a rise in the Crownlands west of the Kingsroad, with a stream running beside its walls.
It is not a place that decides wars on its own; in the chronicles it appears as a stop along the road, a castle others pass on their way to wherever the story is actually headed.

Jaime LannisterSer Jaime Lannister halted before Hayford's walls during a march through the region, with a party of knights and lords under his command. Someone in the group turned to the castle's castellan to ask what would be served for supper, a brief moment the chronicle leaves without further context about the troops passing through.
