"Being an accounting of the Great Houses and Their Seats. All maesters know well the lay of Westeros and beyond, the better to advise their lords and masters, to further their stratagems and liaisons. * From the Inn at the Crossroads at the heart of the Seven Kingdoms, one may travel to all corners of Westeros. * Northward is Winterfell, seat of the House of Stark. A direwolf from beyond the Wall is their sigil. Cold and serious, their ancient keep remembers Winter even in summer. * Warmer, to the South, is King's Landing, brimming with summer fruits and flowers. Here in the lofty halls of the Red Keep, Robert Baratheon sits the Iron Throne, won from the Mad King Aerys Targaryen some years since. Alongside him, his Queen - Cersei, a lioness of the powerful House Lannister from Casterly Rock. * And East across the sea is the Free City of Pentos, at the edge of the grasslands they call the Dothraki Sea. The last Targaryens are exiled here, near as extinct as the dragons of their sigil. For once they played the Game of Thrones - and lost."
