The Wall is a massive wall of ice that stretches across the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms, separating it from the wild lands beyond. It was reputedly created by Brandon the Builder after the Long Night to defend the realms of man from the Others. Approximately 300 leagues in length and 700 feet in height, the Wall is protected by the Night's Watch. A total of nineteen fortresses have been built along the Wall though only three, The Shadow Tower, Castle Black and Eastwatch-by-the-sea are occupied at the times of the books.
