The World of Ice and Fire, Ancient History: The Coming of First Men Some few children may have fled to the Neck, where there was safety amidst the bogs and crannogs, but if they did, no trace of them remains. All the weirwoods of the isle on which the Pact was forged were then carved with faces so that the gods could witness the Pact, and the order of green men was made afterward to tend to the weirwoods and protect the isle. A Clash of Kings, Theon IV Giving up all the lands of Westeros save for the deep forests, the children won from the First Men the promise that they would no longer cut down the weirwoods. It may be that they have secret knowledge.' 'The histories say the crannogmen grew close to the children of the forest in the days when the greenseers tried to bring the hammer of the waters down upon the Neck. The Neck is bordered to the south by the parts of the northern Riverlands ruled by House Frey from the Twins - which has led to a longstanding feud between the Reeds and Freys over border disputes.In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Neck was originally a much more pleasant location, but during the war between the Children of the Forest and the First Men it became a point of no retreat for the Children. When their formidable fortress of Moat Cailin looked like it might fall, the Children called upon the same sorcery they had used to shatter the Arm of Dorne centuries earlier, the ' hammer of the waters', to destroy the Neck and split Westeros in half. The sorcery was not effective and they merely flooded the Neck from coast to coast, creating bogs and swamps. Moat Cailin's position completely dominates the path of this only route, making any attempt to invade the North from the southern land route futile.Any information you publish in a comment, profile, work, or Content that you post or import onto AO3 including in summaries, notes and tags, will be accessible.The crannogmen have a hostile relationship with the inhabitants of the Twins to the south. The Freys and their servants call the crannogmen ''frog-eaters' and are disparaging of their martial skills.In ancient times, the Neck was ruled by the Marsh King of the crannogmen.

They submitted to House Stark when Rickard Stark, King in the North, defeated the Marsh King and took his daughter as wife.The crannogmen maintained their ancient allegiance to House Stark, even when contact between them and the outside world had faded away to almost nothing. However, several years before Robert's Rebellion, Howland Reed of Greywater Watch made the acquaintance of Eddard Stark. ThatвЂ™s the best thing about the map-itвЂ™s never set in stone.They became fast and loyal friends, and Reed stayed at Eddard's side throughout the war. Who knows? Maybe things will change as early as this Sunday.

Perhaps more of the free cities or further Eastern adventures for Daenerys await? WeвЂ™ve also never seen some of the biggest cities of Westeros: the Lannister home-base Casterly Rock, the Tyrell headquarters of Highgarden, the maester training grounds of Oldtown, any location beyond the Wall, and other big northern settlements that may play a part in future storylines.

Who knows what will come in season five? Casting lists have called for many Dornish characters, so we may well find ourselves in Sunspear, the regionвЂ™s capital, at the southern end of Westeros. Not only is the Eyrie a cool looking location, all nestled impenetrably into the side of a mountain, but how much cool shit happened there this season? Lysa admitted to basically starting this whole gory storyВ at Littlefinger's behest! Then Littlefinger married her! And threw her out the moon door! This was the location of the Great Sansa Stark Makeover! Shameful, the lack of respect it got from the map. Who knows if Moat Cailin will ever be back, but it was definitely a nice guest appearance.Д®DITOR'S NOTE:В Where the hellВ was the Eyrie on this map all season? Passing fancies like Dreadford and Moat Cailin got their due attention, not to mention crashing bores like Mereen, yet the Eyrie never once made it back to the map (it was last seen in season one). Of course, it was taken from the north, by the Iron Islanders, hence Ramsay BoltonвЂ™s bit of trickery to reclaim it using his pet Theon. The castle sits atop the treacherous marshlands that separate the North from the rest of Westeros, and serves as a bulwark against invaders from the south. The most welcome surprise of the season was Moat Cailin popping up, and itвЂ™s beautifully represented-a large, shifting clockwork beast surrounded by swamps and spears.
