===Foundation=== [[File:White Harbor by cabepfir.jpg|thumb|350px|White Harbor and [[Seal Rock]], by cabepfir Β©]] Between {{date|-1000}} and {{date|-600}},<ref group="N">When exactly [[House Manderly]] came north is unknown. In {{Date|211}}, Lady [[Rohanne Webber]] dated the flight of the Manderlys as having occurred "a thousand years" ago (''[[The Sworn Sword]]''). Lord [[Godric Borrell]] defines the time period to "no more than nine hundred years" before {{Date|300}} (''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'', [[A Dance with Dragons-Chapter 9|Davos I]]). However, [[Wylla Manderly]] and Maester [[Yandel]] date the arrival of the Manderlys in the north back a bit further, "a thousand years before [[Aegon's Conquest|the Conquest]]" (''A Dance with Dragons'', [[A Dance with Dragons-Chapter 19|Davos III]]) and "some thousand years before the Conquest", (''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'', The North: The Kings of Winter) respectively. A semi-canon source lists "a thousand years before the Conquest" as well (''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]'', White Harbor) These accounts thus place the arrival of the Manderlys in the north between 1000 BC and 600 BC.</ref> [[House Manderly]] was driven into exile from the [[Mander]] in southern [[Westeros]] by Lord [[Lorimar Peake]] during the reign of [[Perceon III Gardener]], [[King of the Reach]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Kings of Winter}} The Starks welcomed the Manderlys to the north and accepted oaths of fealty from them in the Wolf's Den, giving them the ancient castle and the surrounding lands. This led to the creation of White Harbor around the Wolf's Den.{{Ref|ADWD|19}}{{ref|AWOIAF|Wolf's Den}} The Manderlys used their wealth from the [[Reach]] to build the new city, the architecture of which more closely resembles that of the Reach than other northern settlements.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Kings of Winter}} The Manderlys eventually built the [[New Castle]], said to be inspired by their lost southern seat of [[Dunstonbury]],{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Kings of Winter}} and they receive visitors in its [[Merman's Court]].{{ref|ADWD|19}} The older, crumbling Wolf's Den is now used as a prison.{{ref|ADWD|19}}
