Hornwood

Hornwood is the castle that gives its name to House Hornwood, standing in the forest that shares its name, in the North, between the Dreadfort and White Harbor, near the northwestern edge of the Sheepshead Hills.

During the War of the Five Kings, the lack of a clear heir turns these lands into a prize contested by several northern houses.

As the war pushes the Boltons and their allies south, the smallfolk of Hornwood flee alongside those of the White Knife and seek shelter in White Harbor, under Manderly protection. Other men of Hornwood, instead, join the host Ramsay Bolton marches toward Moat Cailin.

Peace with the Iron Throne comes at a price: Wyman Manderly gives up his claim to the lands and castle of Hornwood. At the wedding celebrating the woman everyone calls Arya Stark to Ramsay Bolton, he is already presented as the new lord of Hornwood.
