Castle Black

Castle Black is the primary headquarters of the Night's Watch. It is located roughly halfway along the length of the Wall on its southern side, at the northern end of the Kingsroad. It is a dark and chilling home to its garrison, as well as the Lord Commander himself.

Castle Black is one of only three manned castles left on the Wall in modern times, along with Eastwatch-by-the-Sea and the Shadow Tower. There were nineteen castles along the Wall, but as their numbers fell over the centuries, the Night's Watch abandoning sixteen of them. Castle Black is located between the unmanned castles of Queensgate and Oakenshield.

Castle Black has a sept, but no Godswood. Those who are followers of the Old Gods of the Forest must travel a mile north of the Wall, into the Haunted Forest to take their vows before a heart tree.
