Shadow Tower
la Torre Sombría
The Shadow Tower is one of the three castles the Night's Watch still keeps manned along the Wall, set at its western end, where the ice starts to brush against the mountains.
Its ranks have produced names that carry weight in the Wall's history, among them Qhorin Half-hand, Redwyn and Mance Rayder.

Lord Commander Mormont considered reinforcing Puertapiedra with men drawn from the Shadow Tower.
