Storm's end

Storm's End is the legendary seat of House Durrandon, which presides over the Kingdom of the Storm. Located in the centre of Stormlands, the castle is built upon Durran's Point on the northern coast of Shipbreaker Bay, south of Bronzegate and northeast of Griffin's Roost. The castle regarded for its stonework, its walls deemed as impregnable. Throughout its history, Storm's end has never fallen to any men or even Storm God himself who in his wrath tried to destroy it. Is said to be protected by spells woven into its very walls that prevent magic from affecting it or passing through it.

Storm's End is surrounded by a massive outer curtain wall, one hundred feet high and forty feet thick on its thinnest side and nearly eighty feet thick on its seaward side. It is composed of a double course of pale grey stone with an inner core of sand and rubble. The wall is smooth and curving, the stones so well placed and so perfectly together that the wind can find no purchase. On the seaward side, there is a one hundred fifty foot drop below the wall into the sea. There is no safe anchorage by the castle. The curtain wall protects the castle's kitchens, stables, and yard.

Storm's End has only one tower, a colossal drum tower crowned with formidable battlements, making it look like a huge, spiked fist thrusting towards the sky from afar. The tower is so large that it comfortably contains the granary, barracks, armory, feast hall, and king's chambers all at once. The main hall where the King's throne is located is called the Round Hall. The maester's cell and the rookery are located at the top of the tower, which is windowless on the side facing the sea. It is said that there are spells woven into the stonework of Storm's End.

The seaward side of the castle stands upon Durran's Point, a high white cliff overlooking the sea. There is a watery passage through a cavern that leads beneath the castle, protected by a portcullis, bars, and murder holes.

The godswood of Storm's End has a weirwood heart tree carved with a solemn face.

Despite a good wind off Shipbreaker Bay, the weather is hot at Storm's End in summertime. There are fields and stony ridges in the vicinity.
