Nomex: 2 years is pretty far out there for a Disabled cache. I'm going to temporarily Archive the Listing so that it doesn't appear in the searches. Let me know when they open up the area and will be happy to Unarchive.

Geocache Description:

"Harrenhal had witnessed more horror in its three hundred years than Casterly Rock had witnessed in three thousand.”
- thoughts of Jaime Lannister


A Cache of Ice and Fire

Harrenhal

Harrenhal is the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms and is the seat of House Whent in the Riverlands, on the north shore of the Gods Eye lake. Since the War of Conquest, however, it has become a dark and ruinous place.

The castle has five towers of dizzying size, with equally monstrous curtain walls. The walls are incredibly thick and its rooms are built on a scale that would be more comfortable for giants than humans. The castle's holdings are some of the richest in Westeros, claiming vast tracts of green fertile land.

Harrenhal covers three times as much ground as Winterfell and its buildings are so much larger that they can scarcely be compared. Its stables can house a thousand horses, its godswood covers twenty acres, and its kitchens are as large as Winterfell's Great Hall. When it was built it could have potentially garrisoned a million men.

However, much of Harrenhal has far gone into decay. The Whents use only the lower thirds of two of the five towers, letting the rest go to ruin, and many places in the castle have not been entered in decades. Bats infest the tops of some of the towers.

 


This is part of a series of caches based on "A Song of Ice and Fire."  These are the books that the TV show "A Game of Thrones" is based on.  Due to the unique nature of these caches, please make sure they are hidden exactly as you found them.  If they are muggled they can not be replaced.
