Grey Cliffs

The Grey Cliffs are a series of cliffs in the North. They lie along the shore of the narrow sea, east of Karhold. Traditionally, they were part of the lands of the Karstark, but they were later given for governance as vassal to Rhogar Snow, bastard of Cregan Stark, a close relative of the Karstark. This mean that the Grey Cliffs became the seat of a new house, known as House Greycliff.

The area is known for its beautiful cliffs and its land of scarse woods, strong winds and stormy weather. In winter, snow covers most of the area. Sheep roaming the grass is one of most iconic views of the area. The main economical activities are fishing and sheep, or cattle raising with wool, milky products, leather and meat being source of income. Agriculture is low, mostly made for local consumption. A bit more inland, some small woods still remain.

Hanging for the top of a cliff lies the new castle called "Windfort" recently built by Rhogar under the ruins of a small watchtower. The Castle is among the newest contructed in all of westeros. It was built on a partial island and under it, it has a large cave able to hold Kerzogue and Gaulax, the Dragons of Rhogar and his mother Naera Targaryen of Whitefyre. The fort was built thanks to the money Naera was able to gather for her son to finance it's construction, It is said to have vidriagon rooms and fires lit in every chamber. It has as well two shrines, one for Rh'ollor and a tiny garden for the old gods.

The population in the area has been traditionally low but its peoples are known as tough and strong. Some foreigners might call them barbaric or unrefine but in reality they are loyal peasants and fishermen. Most of them were converted to the Faith of Rh'ollor through the actions of Naera. This has caused some tensions but Rhogar passed a law to protect the right of the old religion and thus both religions coexist and have syncretized gradually. The Grey Cliffs are the only places in Westeros and the north where the faith of the Lord of Light is widely spread among the population.
