The Manderlys eventually built the New Castle as a replacement for the aging Wolf's Den and converted the latter to a prison. They took oaths before the old gods and the new to be the Starks' men forever in return for protection from their enemies and the land that became the city of White Harbor. Ī thousand years before the War of Conquest, the Manderlys received the Wolf's Den from the Starks. They, among those Ser Bartimus's ancestors, hung the slavers' entrails in the branches of the heart tree as an offering to the old gods. He stripped the slavers naked and gave them to the slaves chained up in the dungeon. A long, cruel winter came that froze the White Knife, when the slavers were huddled around their fires, Edrick's great-grandson, the new king called " Ice Eyes", took back the Wolf's Den. The Wolf's Den was captured by slavers from the Stepstones when Edrick Stark had grown too feeble to defend his realm. During the wars between the North and the Vale, it was besieged by Osgood Arryn, the Old Falcon, and burned by his son, called the Talon. Reavers from the Three Sisters took the castle once, and made it their toehold in the north. Slates, Longs, Holts and Ashwoods held the Wolf's Den, charged by Winterfell to keep the river safe. House Flint held it for century, and House Locke for almost two. Īfter the Greystarks, the castle switched many hands. The Greystarks lasted the longest, holding the Wolf's Den for five centuries, until they joined the Dreadfort in rebellion against the Starks of Winterfell. Some passed the castle to their sons and grandsons, and cadet branches of House Stark had arisen. It was the seat of younger sons, brothers, uncles and cousins to the King in the North. King Jon Stark raised the Wolf's Den to defend the mouth of the White Knife from raiders from the sea. There is also a long tunnel that secretly runs below the Castle Stair connecting the Wolf's Den and the New Castle.

Past the cellars are rows of smaller, foul-smelling cells. Amongst several cellars, a barrel-vaulted cellar has walls covered with salt and a floor sloshing with seawater.

The castle contains a godswood with a weirwood heart tree so large its limbs pass through walls and windows. Beneath Davos's cell are true dungeons in the castle's cellars, including oubliettes, torture chambers, and rat-filled pits. The walls are solid stone and the door is made of oak and iron. The cell's floor consists of warped planks. It contains a hearth large enough to hold a kettle and a privy in a corner nook. The cell that Davos is imprisoned in is large and unexpectedly comfortable Davos think it may once have been a lordling's bedchamber.
