The Dreadfort is the seat of House Bolton. It is located on the banks of the Weeping Water. The Dreadfort is ill-omened, for it is said that the Boltons still keep torture chambers and a special room where they hang the flayed skins of their enemies, including, several previous Kings in the North.[1]

Recent Events

During the War of the Five Kings the Boltons turned on their Stark allies and aided the Freys in slaughtering them at the Red Wedding. The Boltons were then named Wardens of the North by Tywin Lannister. With the bulk of the Bolton host trapped south of Moat Cailin, the Dreadfort is currently under the rule of Ramsay Bolton, the recently-legitimized bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton. Theon Greyjoy is being held in a dungeon below the castle.[2]
