Seat of House Marbrand, standing in the foothills of the western mountains where the river Ash begins its course to the sea. The Marbrands rank among the foremost bannermen of the west, and their burning tree banner flies from Ashemark's towers.
The Vale of the Ash
The castle overlooks a green vale watered by the young river, its lands well tended and its people prosperous. The road from the Golden Tooth to the coast passes near, and the lords of Ashemark grow rich on the trade that moves along it.
A House of Renown
The Marbrands are famed for their knights, and sons of Ashemark have won honor in wars and tourneys across the realm. Their lords have ever stood high in the councils of Casterly Rock, bound to the lions of the west by blood and long service.
