{{quote|Whose notion was it to make this [[Janos Slynt]] a [[Lord of Harrenhal|lord]]? The man's father was a butcher, and they grant him Harrenhal. Harrenhal, that was the seat of kings! Not that he will ever set foot inside it, if I have a say.{{ref|AGOT|69}}|[[Tywin Lannister]] to [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Every child of the [[Trident]] knew the tales told of Harrenhal, the vast fortress that King [[Harren Hoare|Harren the Black]] had raised beside the waters of [[Gods Eye]] three hundred years past, when the [[Seven Kingdoms]] had been seven kingdoms, and the [[riverlands]] were ruled by the [[ironmen]] from the islands. In his pride, Harren had desired the highest hall and tallest towers in all [[Westeros]]. Forty years it had taken, rising like a great shadow on the shore of the lake while Harren's armies plundered his neighbors for stone, lumber, [[gold]], and workers. Thousands of captives died in his quarries, chained to his sledges, or laboring on his five colossal towers. Men froze by winter and sweltered in summer. [[Weirwood]]s that had stood three thousand years were cut down for beams and rafters. Harren had beggared the riverlands and the [[Iron Islands]] alike to ornament his dream. And when at last Harrenhal stood complete, on the very day King Harren took up residence, [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] had come ashore at [[Aegon's Landing|King's Landing]].{{ref|ACOK|7}}|thoughts of [[Catelyn Stark]]}}

{{quote|'''Tyrion''': You're a bold man to take Harrenhal for your seat. Such a grim place, and huge ... costly to maintain. And some say [[curse]]d as well.<br>'''Janos''': Should I fear a pile of stone?{{ref|ACOK|8}}|[[Tyrion Lannister]] and [[Janos Slynt]]}}

{{quote|That is an ill place. [[Curse]]d, they say. Not that I am the sort to swallow such tales, but still, there it is.{{ref|ACOK|16}}|[[Wyman Manderly]] to [[Rodrik Cassel]]}}

{{Quote|Harrenhal was deceptive from afar, because it was so huge. Its colossal curtain walls rose beside [[Gods Eye|the lake]], sheer and sudden as mountain cliffs, while atop their battlements the rows of wood-and-iron [[scorpion (weapon)|scorpions]] looked as small as [[scorpion|the bugs]] for which they were named.{{ref|ACOK|30}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}}

{{Quote|'''Sansa''': Yes, but the castle is yours.<br>
'''Petyr''': Ah, and what a castle it is. Cavernous halls and ruined towers, [[ghosts]] and draughts, ruinous to heat, impossible to garrison ... and there’s that small matter of a [[curse]].<br>'''Sansa''': Curses are only in songs and stories.<br>'''Petyr''': Has someone made a song about [[Gregor Clegane]] dying of a [[poison]]ed spear thrust? Or about [[Vargo Hoat|the sellsword]] before him, whose limbs Ser Gregor removed a joint at a time? That one [[fall of Harrenhal|took the castle]] from Ser [[Amory Lorch]], who received it from Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin Lannister]]. A [[bear]] killed one, [[Tyrion Lannister|your dwarf]] the other. [[Shella Whent|Lady Whent's]] died as well, I hear. [[House Lothston|Lothstons]], [[House Strong|Strongs]], [[House Harroway|Harroways]] ... Harrenhal has withered every hand to touch it.{{ref|AFFC|23}}|[[Sansa Stark]] and [[Petyr Baelish]]}}

{{quote|Across the pewter waters of [[Gods Eye|the lake]] the towers of [[Harren Hoare|Black Harren's]] folly appeared at last, five twisted fingers of black, misshapen stone grasping for the sky.{{ref|AFFC|27}}|thoughts of [[Jaime Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|''Gods, but I hate this bloody castle''. Harrenhal had witnessed more horror in its three hundred years than [[Casterly Rock]] had witnessed in three thousand.{{ref|AFFC|27}}|thoughts of [[Jaime Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|'''Jaime''': This castle has an ill repute, and one that's well deserved. It's said that [[Harren Hoare|Harren]] and his sons still walk the halls by night, afire. Those who look upon them burst into flame.<br>'''Bonifer''': I fear no [[shades|shade]], ser. It is written in ''[[The Seven-Pointed Star]]'' that spirits, [[wights]], and [[revenants]] cannot harm a pious man, so long as he is armored in his faith.<br>'''Jaime''': Then armor yourself in faith, by all means, but wear a suit of mail and plate as well. Every man who holds this castle seems to come to a bad end. [[Gregor Clegane|The Mountain]], [[Vargo Hoat|the Goat]], even [[Tywin Lannister|my father]] ...{{ref|AFFC|27}}|[[Jaime Lannister]] and [[Bonifer Hasty]]}}
