Castles
The Night's Watch raised nineteen castles to guarded the hundred leagues of the Wall, however they had never manned more than seventeen at one time. Over the last three hundred years, as the manpower of the Watch has dropped, most of these castles have been abandoned, "the ghost castles" as some have come to call them.[1] During the event of A Game of Thrones only three castles remain in use,[2] thou recently Jon Snow the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch plans to man to man them all again.
