Layout

A small castle with three crooked towers, the Dyre Den lies on a wind-carved cliff above the end of the bayside road from Maidenpool. The castle is accessible from below by a steep and narrow cleft in the cliff, with the stony path leading up to the castle walls. Pine forests and limestone hills lie beyond the castle.[1]

History

Tales of Sunfyre taking refuge in Crackclaw Point were told in the halls of the Crabbs and Brunes.[2]

A Feast for Crows

Dick Crabb, Brienne of Tarth, and Podrick Payne pass by the castle in their search for the fool[3] who was looking for passage aboard a ship from the Whispers. Dick does not think they will receive a warm reception at the castle, so the three travelers continue on through the forest to the Whispers.[1]

Quotes
