[[File:Baelish's tower.jpg|thumb|right|The unnamed tower of [[House Baelish]], by [http://phatandy.deviantart.com/art/The-Tower-of-House-Baelish-213122879 PHATandy] ©]]

The "'''Drearfort'''" is a derogatory nickname suggested by Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] for the seat of [[House Baelish]] in the [[Vale of Arryn]], possibly in reference to the [[Dreadfort]] of [[House Bolton]]. The Baelish tower does not have a formal name.{{ref|ASOS|68}}

The exact location of the Baelish tower has not been shown in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''. ''[[A World of Ice and Fire]]'' indicates the tower is on the peninsula southwest of the [[Paps]].{{ref|AWOIAF|[[Sansa Stark]]'s route on "Journeys" map}} ''[[A Game of Thrones]]'', [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 18|Chapter 18]], states that the Baelish holdings are on the smallest of the Fingers,{{ref|AGOT|18}} suggesting the tower may be southwest of [[Pebble]].

The old flint tower is located on the smallest of the [[Fingers]].{{ref|AGOT|18}} It has arrowslits for defense but no windows.{{ref|ASOS|68}}

An open stone stair winds around the inside wall from the undercroft to the roof, and each of its floors has only one room. The undercroft is likely used for storage. The ground level houses servants—including [[Umfred]], [[Grisel]], [[Bryen]], and [[Kella]]—and dogs in the kitchen. The middle floor is a modest hall, and a broken longsword and an oaken shield depicting the [[Titan of Braavos|titan's head]] of [[House Baelish]] hang above its hearth. There is a little alcove in the hall beneath the stairs. The third floor contains the lord's bedchamber.{{ref|ASOS|68}}

The vicinity includes a flock of sheep, a village of a dozen families near a peat bog, and a hermit's cave. There is also one place where the tide comes jetting up out of a blowhole to shoot thirty feet into the air, and another where someone had chiseled the seven-pointed star of the [[Faith of the Seven|new gods]] upon a boulder. According to [[Petyr Baelish]], the star marks a landing place during the [[coming of the Andals]] to the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]]. It takes only half a day to traverse the territory, and there is no safe anchorage nearby for large ships.{{ref|ASOS|68}}

Lady [[Lysa Arryn]] marries Petyr shortly after arriving at the tower, and they feast outside. When [[Marillion]] tries to seduce Sansa within the hall at night, she is protected by Ser [[Lothor Brune]].{{ref|ASOS|68}}

==Quotes==
{{quote|And there it stands, miserable as it is. My ancestral home. It has no name, I fear. A great lord's seat ought to have a name, wouldn't you agree? [[Winterfell]], the [[Eyrie]], [[Riverrun]], those are castles. [[Lord of Harrenhal]] now, that has a sweet ring to it, but what was I before? Lord of Sheepshit and Master of the Drearfort? It lacks a certain something.{{ref|ASOS|68}}|[[Petyr Baelish]] to [[Sansa Stark]]}}
