RSMITTY7640 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What's your favorite castle or strong hold. For me its a close tie between sunspear and DragonStone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce da Bronze Yohn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am fascinated by so many of them. But I have to say of the ones we have seen the Dreadfort and Storm's End are sick. I am hoping that Seaguard, Casterly Rock, and Highgarden will be nice too but we have to little info. Sunspear is cool but for me the stone Dragon's of Dragonstone are just too cartoony and unrealistic. It ruins what would otherwise be a solid stronghold.

James Arryn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The Eyrie, Highgarden, the Hightower or Starfall. Casterly Rock, Griffin's Roost and Riverrun are also cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStarkInWinterhell Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Harrenhal and Storm's End. Heck, even White Harbour is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnow4President Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 From a description of just the castle, Winterfell. Although I'd like to move it at least as far south of White Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastardlyRock Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 They all rock for different reasons. I too would love to hear more about my birthplace, but until such time that we do my number one will have to go with Storm's End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustard Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The Eyrie is awesome. I also like the culture of Sunspear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoravar Singh Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 First of all, Winterfell ( too much of a Stark loyalist). Apart from that, Seagard ,Storm's End, Riverrun, and the Eyrie are also damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Goat Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Winterfell would be my favorite. It seems like a pleasant place to live in peace time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Storm's End. Not even the gods could bring it down. Also the Eyrie, Pyke, CR, Dreadfort and Riverrun are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flandrensis Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I love Winterfell, so that's my first choice. But Highgarden sounds so lovely and I'd love to see/hear what Greywater Watch is like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Thenn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Storms End just has an aura of impregnability to it, like Winterfell before the Ironborn took it. Sunspear and Riverrun are pretty mint too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Remain Unvanquished Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Winterfell takes the top spot easily. After that, I really want to see Casterly Rock, and more of Storm's End and Dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jaime Lannister Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Queenscrown - I know it's small. But such a cool defensive design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce da Bronze Yohn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Queenscrown - I know it's small. But such a cool defensive design. I agree, completely ingenious. Every castle for me has some amazing feature that makes me love it. Like Winterfell's heating, Riverrun's optional island-maker, or Dragonstone's drum tower with the Westeros table.

The Santa of House Claus Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 As far as strong holds go, you really can't go wrong with the Eyrie. It would be a total bitch to take, but not a place I'd like to live. I am very fond of Winterfell, as I think we are all suppose to be. It would also be tough to take by force when manned, what Theon did was clever, but would not exactly be common place, I mean, the person that is leading the attack has intimate knowledge of the defenses and people because he was raised there, AND pretty much all the military force is off elsewhere. All that being said, I think the fact that is was taken taints it in our collective minds, and, well, it is a point against it. But with the steam heating and glass gardens, by all accounts, a very nice place to grown up. Casterly Rock would be another bitch to take, but little is really known about it. We can assume it is incredibly well fortified and has deep reserves to allow it to withstand sieges. But little is really known about how nice a place it is to live and grow up. As oppose to... Highgarden, from all accounts a very nice place full of gardens and and sunshine and all that, but little is known about its defenses. Riverrun is another one that would be hard to take, and it could withstand a long siege, as well as being a nice place to live. The Twins, fits the first 2 categories, but I'm guessing not a pleasant place to live. Storm's End, very very well defended, but maybe the stores could be better, and I am not a fan of the weather. Pyke, ha, its a pile of rubble just waiting to happen, and I would rather be raised in the Eyrie by Tywin and Lysa. Seagard, I would very much like to know more about. It seems to be a hard place to take, but really really do not know more. I think for defensive purposes I have to vote for the Eyrie, but to live at, would have to be a close one between Highgarden and Winterfell, with the edge going to Highgarden due to weather. Then going with the assumption that a House as clever as the Tyrells, who know they have some less then friendly Houses around them, mainly the Hightowers and, well, Dorne, would have made Highgarden very well defended I will have to pick Highgarden as my favorite.

Colonel Green Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The whole fortification chain that collectively comprises the Arryn estate, from the Gates of the Moon to the Eyrie, is my favourite. It's probably the most outright fantastical creation in GRRM's world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolves Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Winterfell, because at heart I'm Stark through and through. Highgarden and Starfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
