Grim seat of House Bolton upon the banks of the Weeping Water, its thick walls crowned with triangular merlons like rows of sharpened teeth. From these halls the Red Kings ruled the eastern North for thousands of years, defying the Kings of Winter age upon age before the knee was finally bent.
The Dungeons
Beneath the Dreadfort lie dungeons whose ill fame has spread to every corner of the North. It is whispered that the Boltons of old kept the flayed skins of their enemies within, Stark kings among them, hung as trophies of their victories.
The Flayed Man
The lords of the Dreadfort forswore the flaying of captives when they swore fealty to Winterfell, yet the flayed man remains upon their banners. Few in the North believe the old practice was ever wholly abandoned behind those walls.
