Castamere

The ancient domain of House Reyne, and briefly House Spicer, Castamere is home to rich mines of gold and silver and lush fields as fertile as any in the Reach. Ruled from a formidable stronghold set deep in the mountains near a nearby spring of blue water of uncommon purity fed from an underground lake.

== Recent Improvements == House Spicer dredged the water from the subterranean fastness built by the Reynes, and took steps to prevent a further deluge, including a cistern that emptied into an underground river.

On taking possession of the stronghold, the Lannisters of Castamere, under the Lady Tysane's sponsorship, raised Castamere's keep and walls higher than before, and embraced the natural terrain to enhance the architecture of the stronghold's already-impressive fortifications. Of note was the construction of a newer, more formidable and defensible keep high above the old fortifications that commanded the vale below.
