The Riverlands and the location of Seagard

Seagard is a town and castle, seat of House Mallister. Located on the western coast of the Riverlands, sheltered by the Cape of Eagles and near the headwaters of the Blue Fork.[1]

Castle

Seagard was built to defend the coast from Ironborn reavers.[2]

Town

The Booming Tower in the town is named for the immense bronze bell, used to call the townsfolk and others into the safety of the castle when longships were sighted [2]

History

During the Greyjoy Rebellion, the bronze bell of the Booming Tower was rang for the first time in three hundred years, when longships under the command of Rodrik Greyjoy attacked Seagard. Lord Jason Mallister killed Rodrik beneath the castle walls and threw the ironmen back into the sea.[2]
