Seagard is the seat of House Mallister. It was built to defend the coast against the raiders from the Iron Islands. It lies near the headwaters of the Blue Fork.[1]
The Booming Tower
The Booming Tower is named for the immense bronze bell, rung when raiders appeared to call the townsfolk into the castle.[2]
History
During the Greyjoy Rebellion, the bronze bell of the Booming Tower was rang for the first time in three hundred years, when longships under the command of Rodrik Greyjoy attacked Seagard. Lord Jason Mallister killed Rodrik beneath the castle walls and threw the ironmen back into the sea.[3]
