The capital of the West, Castle Rock, is a city built inside the rock.

This huge rock castle stands on the edge of the sea, and the bottom of the rock on the seaside has been hollowed out by the sea, forming a huge hollow. When the tide comes, the sea water pours into the hollow and makes a rumbling sound like thunder. Above the cave in the rock is the Hall of Heroes of the Lannisters.

Only those who have made extraordinary achievements among the Lannister family and their close relatives are eligible to be buried in the Hall of Heroes. The Hall of Heroes is home to statues of a hundred Lannister knights, lords, and kings in extravagant armor who are the heroes who will forever guard Castle Rock – the Hall of Heroes is famous among the Seven Kingdoms, even across the Narrow Sea.

This seaside boulder is two hundred feet high, that is, about seventy meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a twenty-three story building in the earth's civilization. The boulder is nearly twenty miles long from east to west and about fifteen miles wide. Looking at the buildings of Castle Rock from the ground, the entire city can only see a tower and lookout post at the top of the rock, and the rest is the outer shell of the rock itself.

This stone has been used as a place of human habitation for thousands of years.

This boulder contains gold mines, which were discovered and mined thousands of years ago, and thousands of years later, hundreds of mines have penetrated the bottom of this huge rock, and the inside of this huge rock has been hollowed out, and the red and yellow gold deposits in the remaining rocks are no longer worth mining, although they still exist. The Castellan family was the first to convert the mine into a hall and room, and after they built the first fortress on top of this stone, they began to use the ore shaft that had been driven to the bottom for the construction of the hall and other rooms.

Legend has it that during the Age of Heroes, a legendary master of trickery, "Clever the Witty", tricked the Cairn from the Castellan family to Castle Rock by stratagem. He is Rann Lannister, the ancestor of the Lannister lineage.

Generations later, Rann's descendants filled Kaiyan City, which had not yet had many mines to build on, and some of the descendants of the side moved to a nearby village and settled next to a natural harbor. Thousands of years later, it was popped for trade, and eventually developed into today's Lannisport. - The third largest port city on the continent of Westeros.

Today, the seaside boulder has been completely hollowed out, and the interior has become a large city surrounded by high and low roads. It was filled with corridors, dungeons, storerooms, barracks, halls, stables, staircases, courtyards, sanctuaries, balconies, and gardens. As a city, you have everything.

At the bottom of this rock, three huge holes were opened, and they were called the Lion's Mouth. The Lion's Mouth is the only way to enter and exit Castle Rock, and the Lion's Mouth in the middle is wide, connecting the Golden Mile, the Esplanade, and the Riverside Avenue, which leads directly to the Riverlands, and twenty horses can easily enter the city through the Lion's Mouth.

When there is sunlight, the shadow cast on the ground by the huge rock carrying the city of Castle is like a lying lion, so the city of Castle Rock is also known as the city of lions, and the entrance to the city is also named the mouth of the lion, and the Lannisters also call themselves lions, and their family crest and family motto are derived from this - their family crest is a golden roaring lion on the crimson earth, and the family motto is "Listen to my roar!" In addition, there is a widely circulated informal adage: "The Lannister must pay their debts" - In Westeros, its popularity surpasses that of the family motto.

The current lord of Caesy Rock, Tywin Lannister, was born in the year 242 A. Aegon and is 56 years old. He is the Duke of Castle Rock, the Shield of Lannisport and the Warden of the West. When he was fifty years old, he began to lose his hair, so he simply shaved it all down, leaving only a thick golden beard on his temples. Tywin's pale green eyes were also dotted with gold, which the nobles considered a symbol of gold. He liked crimson, so his armor was also made crimson, which is why the armor and capes of the warriors throughout the Westland were crimson, and the Westside Army was also known as the Red Robe Army.

In the main fort of Castle Rock, Tywin Lannister is skinning a huge black bear, the result of which he led his guards out to hunt in the eastern mountains, and his sword skills are very skillful, and the skin of the bear is immaculate.

As Tywin washed away his bloody hands in the golden copper plate, Sport, a college scholar, walked in.

"Lord Tywin, I just received a letter and a gift from Master Harry. ”

Master Harry was an apprentice to the Potter University Scholars in the West, a very young scholar who was not yet twenty years old and had not yet passed the official exams of the school.

"Read!"

Duke Tywin was very dignified, and he never smiled again from the day his wife died in childbirth. So far, it has been twenty-five years. In the year 273 of Aegon, Tyrion Lannister, known as the Little Devil, was born, but it also led to the death of Tywin's beloved wife, Joanna Lannister.

"Yes, sir. ”

After reading Master Harry's letter, the Potter University priest observed Duke Tywin's face with trepidation.

The letter said that Alan Charlotte of the Silver Hall had exchanged gold coins for Sir Addo Chariot, and then sent four barrels of wine from Qingting Island, and that Sir Gregor had let Alan Charlotte and his four guards drink it first, and as a result, Alan Chariot and his four guards were all poisoned and died.

Subsequently, thirty Chariot mercenary cavalry ambushed in the woods outside Fort Clegan launched a flanking battle against Fort Clegan, and were all beheaded by Sir Gregor and his subordinates, capturing twenty-three horses, eleven sets of armor, and dozens of swords and axes. Sir Gregor asked Duke Tywin what he should do now, whether to fight back, or to return all the horse, armor, and weapons to the Chariots. Sir Gregor believes that this poisoning and cavalry raid may not have been the idea of the Silver Hall Chariot, and none of the cavalry who raided the fort were cavalry of the Chariot family, so this accident was most likely the idea of Alan Chariot, the captain of Alvar Chariot's guard, who died accidentally.

Alan Chariot is not a member of the Silver Hall Chariot family, but a branch of the Chariot family that is very far related by blood.

Duke Tywin washed his hands, and the maid hurriedly handed over a snow-white towel.

Duke Tywin wiped his hands carefully and said, "What is the gift?"

"Salt. ”

Tywin wiped his hands and paused: "Go and show me!"

Salt is very precious to ordinary people, some poor people can't afford it, but to Tywin Lannister, it is a very ordinary thing, how can Gregor take it as a gift. There's something strange about that.

"I've already brought it. ”

Master Potter took out a beautifully wrapped wooden box and opened it, revealing a carefully bound parchment of parchment that must have come from a woman's hand. Untie the rope, open the parchment, and inside is a piece of bright silver silk, and untie the knot of the silk, and the eyes of both the bachelor and the duke light up: the salt as white as sand, as if crystal clear, they had never seen before.
