Nightsong
Nightsong is the seat of House Caron. The formidable castle[1] is located in the Dornish Marches in the southwestern stormlands, north of the Prince's Pass and the Red Mountains.[2][3] The castle is known for its Singing Towers.
History
Maester Yandel states the Carons have held Nightsong for many centuries and the castle guarded the western border of the domain of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon, but also that the Kingdom of the Reach once included western marches from Horn Hill to Nightsong.[4][5] Records indicate the castle has been besieged at least 37 times in the last millenium.[6] Nightsong was burned by Lord Fowler during the First Dornish War.[7]
