'''Casterly Rock''' is a fortress, overlooking the harbor of [[Lannisport]] and the [[Sunset Sea]]. It is the seat of [[House Lannister]].

The fortress is carved out of a great stone hill and its natural defenses are further enhanced with walls and other structures, In fact, the Rock has never fallen. Legend says that Casterly Rock is named for the family that ruled it in the [[Age of Heroes]], the [[House Casterly|Casterlys]], who no longer exist. The Lannisters trace their rule over it back to the [[Lann the Clever]] who tricked the Casterlys out of their castle and claimed it for his own.{{Ref|aGoT|27}}

==Notable locations==
Three key rooms within the Rock are the Golden Gallery, the Lion's Mouth and the Hall of Heroes, where the Lannisters and their close kin who have died valiantly are interred. From below the Rock thunder can be heard, where the sea comes in.{{Ref|aSoS|60}} There is a place called the Stone Garden within the castle.{{Ref|aFfC|28}}

A ''Maegi'' is a woman of [[Essos]] who practices blood magic.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], various Daenerys chapters; and also [[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 19|Chapter 19 (Tyrion III)]], according to [[Kevan Lannister]]</ref> Blood magic is very powerful, but enjoys an awful and possibly well-deserved reputation. It is hated, mistrusted and forbidden by the [[Dothraki]], who claim that the ''Maegi'' lay with demons. ''Maegi'' often show a remarkable capability of telling one's future, usually from a drop of blood.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], various Cersei chapters; also [[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34 (Cat of the Canals)]]</ref> According to Mirri Maz Duur, the word means "wise".<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 72|Chapter 72]], Daenerys X, page 667</ref> The [[Dothraki]] may sometimes go so far as to kill anyone even assumed to be ''Maegi'', as to prevent said ''Maegi'' from 'cursing' them with evil magic.

Some people reputed to be ''Maegi'' in [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:
* [[Mirri Maz Duur]]
* [[Maggy|Maggy the Frog]]
* [[Yna]]
