==Route== [[File:Julepe the Kingsroad in the NorthIII.png|400px|thumb|The kingsroad in the [[north]], by Julepe Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] The kingsroad begins in the [[stormlands]] at [[Storm's End]] on [[Shipbreaker Bay]].{{ref|ACOK|58}} It runs northwest past [[Bronzegate]] and through the [[kingswood]] to the [[Blackwater Rush]], opposite the [[River Gate]] of King's Landing in the [[crownlands]]. Ferries transport travelers across the Blackwater, as there is no bridge across the river at the capital.{{ref|ACOK|52}}{{ref|ASOS|16}} At King's Landing the kingsroad is met by the [[Goldroad]] coming from the [[westerlands]] and the [[roseroad]] from the [[Reach]]. The kingsroad continues north through the capital's [[Gate of the Gods]] and passes east of the [[Gods Eye]] and by [[Harrenhal]] in the [[riverlands]].{{Ref|TLOIAF|King's Landing}} At the [[inn at the crossroads]], the kingsroad meets the [[river road]] from the [[Trident]] and the [[high road]] from the [[Vale of Arryn]]. Nearby is [[Lord Harroway's Town]]. It continues north, running east of the [[Green Fork]] of the Trident and the [[Twins]] through fertile riverlands.{{ref|AGOT|28}} The [[causeway]] of the kingsroad is the only safe way through the [[Neck]], although the [[crannogmen]] know of other routes through the swampy terrain. The formidable ruins of [[Moat Cailin]] guard the northern edge of the Neck.{{ref|AGOT|55}} After Moat Cailin, the kingsroad travels north through the [[barrowlands]], the southeastern [[wolfswood]], and a tributary of the [[White Knife]] to [[Winterfell]], the seat of House Stark in the [[north]]. Once the kingsroad moves beyond Winterfell, inns are still available and farms are guarded by holdfasts. West of the road lie the flint foothills of the [[northern mountains]] and to the east are rolling plains.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} Three days ride north of Winterfell the road becomes more sparsely travelled, journeying through the northeastern wolfswood with farms and holdfasts growing scarcer and smaller{{ref|AGOT|13}} and then after that the road goes west of [[Long Lake]] and [[Last Hearth]]. After leaving the lands of [[House Umber]], the kingsroad enters the territory of the [[Night's Watch]], passing through the [[Gift]] and near [[Queenscrown]].{{ref|ADWD|3}} The kingsroad passes [[Mole's Town]] and ends at [[Castle Black]] at the [[Wall]].{{Ref|tLoIaF}} Near the Wall it is a twisty ribbon,{{ref|AGOT|70}} narrow, stony, and pocked with weeds.{{ref|AGOT|41}}
