Eastwatch-by-the-Sea is the easternmost castle of the Night's Watch along the Wall, located on a grey, windswept shore by the Bay of Seals.[1] Near Eastwatch live some fisherfolk and to the west lies Greenguard.[2]

The commander of Eastwatch is Cotter Pyke, while its maester is Harmune. The Night's Watch keeps several galleys at Eastwatch, including larger vessels capable of crossing the narrow sea and lean fighting vessels. The galleys patrol the Bay of Seals in part to catch smugglers who trade weapons to the free folk.[3] Ships stationed at Eastwatch include the Talon, the Blackbird, and the Storm Crow.

Some free folk trade with the Night's Watch at Eastwatch; wildlings prefer it to Castle Black, because trading ships visit from across the narrow sea.[4] Sure-footed mules are bred by the Watch at Eastwatch.[5]

Quotes

Davos had traded at Eastwatch in his smuggling days. The black brothers made hard enemies but good customers, for a ship with the right cargo.[11]

—thoughts of Davos Seaworth

Eastwatch was a better place to trade than Castle Black; that was where the ships came, laden with goods from the fabled lands beyond the sea.[4]

—thoughts of Varamyr

At Eastwatch I was patient ... and cold, so very cold.[30]

We are done with Eastwatch. We did not like it there. A queen should be mistress beneath her own roof. We found your Cotter Pyke to be an uncouth and unpleasant man, quarrelsome and niggardly.[25]
