Snakewood

The Snakewood is a castle in the Vale and the seat of House Lynderly. It is surrounded by a vast forest of the same name. The castle is located on the southernmost of the Fingers, along a mountainous shore of a bay of the narrow sea.

House Lynderly has ruled the castle and its adjacent lands ever since their Andal ancestors conquered them from the First Men. Though the seat of an old family, the Lynderlys have struggled to thrive in the unforgiving landscape. Lord Terrance Lynderly infamously mismanaged his holdings to the brink of bankruptcy, until his son, Lord Jon Lynderly revived prosperity and expanded the Snakewood's lands through calculating administration and commerce. In later years, the castle's management has fallen on Ser Larence Lynderly.
