The Lodge

The Lodge is the seat of House Hilwood, located some forty miles from King's Landing in the Kingswood.

The castle is so named because it was constructed by King Durran X as his personal retreat and hunting lodge. Though small and quite old the castle is very stoutly constructed and well appointed owing to its regal origins. Perched atop a steep, stony hill the keep was designed to be easily defended by a small guard force. For a small castle, The Lodge has extensive stables, kennels and, mews where once the kings horses, hounds and, hawks were kept while he was in residence. It is known that the castle houses a spring fed well and, rumors tell of a network of cellars capable of provisioning the defenders through a lengthy siege.

The Lodge was sacked in 280 AC by the Kingswood Brotherhood.
