The riverlands and the location of Seagard (red)[1]

Seagard is a town in the northern riverlands, and its castle is the seat of House Mallister. Located on the western coast along Ironman's Bay, Seagard is sheltered by the Cape of Eagles and is nestled near the headwaters of the Blue Fork.[2] It is southwest of the Twins and northwest of Oldstones.[3]

Town

The Booming Tower of Seagard is named for its immense bronze bell, which is used to call the townsfolk and others into the safety of the castle when longships are sighted.[4] The Mallisters have a small fleet of six longships and two war galleys to defend the region.[5]

History

The castle of Seagard was built to defend the coast from ironborn reavers, especially Greyjoys from Pyke.[4] After the fall of House Justman, the Mallisters of Seagard contested rule of the riverlands with rival petty kings.[6]

Harwyn Hardhand, King of the Iron Islands, landed his longships forty leagues south of Seagard at the start of his campaign to conquer the riverlands from the Storm King Arrec Durrandon.[6]

During Greyjoy's Rebellion, the bronze bell of the Booming Tower rang for the first time in three hundred years, when Rodrik Greyjoy led the storming of Seagard. Lord Jason Mallister killed Rodrik beneath the castle walls and threw the ironmen back into the sea.[4] King Robert I Baratheon's army sailed from Seagard and Lannisport to subdue the Iron Islands and end the rebellion.[7]

Catelyn Tully, Lysa Tully, and Petyr Baelish visited Seagard in their youth, once camping at Oldstones on the way there with Lord Hoster Tully.[5] The Tully sisters briefly became lost during a foggy ride back to Riverrun, but they were found by their father's ward, Petyr.[8]
