Master-at-arms is a position charged with training garrisons, as well as noble children, in fighting skills.[1][2][3] Masters-at-arms are often deadly warriors or knights.[4][5][6] They can provide blunted weapons for training instead of live steel.[7] Masters-at-arms are present at most castles in the Seven Kingdoms, including the Night's Watch,[8] although they are not used by the crannogmen.[9]
