The North and the location of the Rills

The Rills is an area in the North ruled by House Ryswell. It is located southeast of the Stony Shore, north of Blazewater Bay, and west of the barrowlands.[1][2] Brandon Stark enjoyed riding in the Rills, where he met Barbrey Ryswell.[3]

It is possible the Rills are an extension of the barrowlands; in the story of the seventy-nine sentinels, deserters of the Night's Watch sought refuge in the castle of Lord Ryswell when they reached the barrowlands.[4][5]

  4. A Storm of Swords, Chapter 56, Bran IV.
  5. The A Game of Thrones RPG and Resource Book by Guardians of Order states the barrowlands stretch from the Stony Shore to the Bite, which therefore suggests the landscape includes the Rills. The more recent The Lands of Ice and Fire and the Map of the North in A Dance with Dragons depict them as separate regions.
