The fortress is carved out of a great stone hill and its natural defenses are further enhanced with walls and other structures, In fact, the Rock has never fallen. Legends say Casterly Rock is named for the family that ruled it in the Age of Heroes, the Casterlys, who no longer exist.

Three key rooms within the Rock are the Golden Gallery, the Lion's Mouth and the Hall of Heroes, where the Lannisters and their close kin who have died valiant might be interred. From below the Rock thunder can be heard, where the sea comes in. There is a place called the Stone Garden within the castle

Main Characters

Tytos Lannister, 47 Tytos is the oldest of the Lannister brothers and Lord of Casterly Rock and the Protector of the West. He is a serious man that rules with a harsh sense of justice yet is generous when needed and warranted. He has been known to dote on his daughter, the prime reason she is not yet married. He loves his family regarding his brothers in the highest place, using them for counsel when needed. His vassals and bannermen have almost all been given cause to respect and love, yet fear his judgment if need be. He has ran the West well, bringing it to flourish in ways it hadn't for decades. He is a man 6'0 tall with golden blond hair. Fighting against raiders and bandits has made him a daunting figure, with a very strong muscular frame. Tybolt Lannister, 31 Tybolt is the youngest of the four Lannister brothers. He is only several years older than Tytos' oldest son Titus. The young Lannister is the more handsome one of his brothers and is well aware of it. Barring that fact however, Tybolt has always made it a point to practice his swordplay with Tytos and his sailing with Tywin. He even spent time with a mercenary company honing his skills on the field of battle under the name Brightroar. He is a powerful man with a softer sense of justice than his brother. He is afforded the liberty of being jovial more often than his brothers and uses it to remind people that his family may be a lot of things, but human is still one of them. Standing at 5'10 he maintains a strong countenance. Andros Lannister, 39 Andros is the third of the Lannister children. He most resembles his namesake Andros Brax, and that led to some animosity from his father. His brothers however never made him feel an outsider, instead they convinced Tyne to make him Lord of Lannisport. There he helped make Lannisport grow in size and popularity, thus turning more profit. Andros has the Golden Lannister hair, with brown eyes but stands at 5'7 and is of a slimmer build than his brothers. Andros is a shrewd man but tends to over think matters. He is often the soft voice of reason with his older brothers. Tywin Lannister, 43 Tywin is the second son of Tyne. Tywin stands at 6'0 and is quite imposing to behold. Tywin has a quick temper and has spent the majority of his life aiding his brothers and their business. Tywin has a mind for strategy and has spent the last several years sailing in his fathers fleet. He and his brother Tytos are close in age and closer in confidence. Titus Lannister, 24 Titus is the first born of Tytos. The strapping Young Lion has the best of his uncle Tybolts looks and athleticism while also inheriting his fathers stature, intelligence, and strength. He is all that could possibly asked in an heir, except humble. Often fool hardy, arrogant and with a loose tongue, his best of attributes seem wasted on one such as himself. His father attributes his rougher points to the trappings of royalty, with lack of responsibility. Standing at 6'0 his green eyes are flecked with gold. Damion Lannister, 22 Damion is the first son of Andros. Damion Lannister has grown up by his cousin Titus side. Though where Titus is fool hardy and arrogant, Damion is careful and cautious. Damion has always been the caution in Titus ears, he has been the buffer between Tygets sleights and recklessness. Damion is thinner than many of his relatives but quicker than thought of when other gaze upon him. With Crakehall blood on his mothers side, he stands at 6'4 and has green eyes with no golden flakes and still the Lannister Golden hair.
