Castle Black and the Wall
The Wall is over 300 miles long and 700 feet high and made of ice, and constitutes the extreme northern border of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, separating the North from the Land of Always Winter. It has been guarded by the Night's Watch for over 8,000 years, ever since it was constructed, according to popular myth, by Brandon the Builder. The Night's Watch has constructed 19 garrison castles to the south of the wall, but only Castle Black, Eastwatch, and The Shadow Tower are held with any strength. None of the castles were built for defense, so that the Night's Watch could never successfully rebel against the realm.
Beyond the wall live the wildlings, the Others, the giants, and other creatures from the Age of Heroes, against whom the Night's Watch is charged with defending the realm. Many of these denizens are organized in a loose confederacy under the King Beyond the Wall, currently Mance Rayder.
