Last Hearth
On this tab
Last Hearth is the seat of House Umber, standing in the North beyond the Last River, on the road to the Wall. Leaving aside the Night's Watch's own castles, it is the northernmost inhabited stronghold in the Seven Kingdoms.
The castle has been bound to the Umbers for centuries: it was the throne of their kings in ancient times and remains their ancestral seat.
Early history
Seat of the Umbers
Last Hearth was not always the seat of a vassal house. Back in the Age of Heroes, when the Umbers ruled as kings in their own right, the castle served as their royal seat.

Tourney of 170 AC
In 170 AC a tourney held at the castle turned into a slaughter, leaving nearly twenty men dead in the lists.
Nothing in the record explains what triggered it or who called it — only the body count that followed.

War of the Five Kings
Plea to Winterfell
During the War of the Five Kings, the Greatjon was away from home and left the castle in the hands of his uncles, Mors and Hother Umber, as castellans.
The pair rode to Winterfell to ask Brandon Stark for more men — hands for the harvest, and swords to hold off the wildlings coming down from the Bay of Seals.

At the Wall
Maester Aemon's plea
Later, Maester Aemon sent a raven to Last Hearth asking for help to defend Castle Black, as wildlings threatened the Wall.
