Raventree Hall

Raventree Hall is the ancestral seat of House Blackwood. It's current Lord is Tytos Blackwood, and the heir to the castle is his eldest son, Brynden Blackwood. It is famous for it's large godswood that contains a great, dead weirwood at its centre. Every night thousands of ravens gather on it's branches, a fact that gives the castle it's name, as well as the sigil for House Blackwood.
