The Wall is an immense, ancient structure that stretches across the northernmost part of Westeros, a colossal barrier of ice and stone standing 700 feet tall and over 300 miles long. It was built to protect the realms of men from the dangers that lurk beyond—particularly the creatures of the far north, including the White Walkers, wildlings, and other ancient threats. The Wall divides the known world from the frozen wilderness of the Land of Always Winter and marks the border between civilization and the untamed wilds of the far north.
The Wall is constructed from massive blocks of ice, carved and shaped to create an impenetrable fortress. Its sheer size and towering presence dominate the landscape, its icy expanse stretching across the horizon in all directions. The surface of the Wall is not smooth; it is jagged and rough, with crevices and uneven ice sheets that add to its foreboding and intimidating nature. It is not just a physical barrier but a constant reminder of the dangerous unknown that lies beyond it.
At the base of the Wall lies the Night's Watch, the brotherhood tasked with guarding and defending the Wall. Their headquarters, Castle Black, is located at the Wall’s southern edge and serves as the main stronghold. The castle is a cold and dreary place, with high, stone walls, barracks, and a large keep, all designed for the harsh realities of life in the far north. The people who serve in the Night’s Watch are often those who have few other choices—criminals, outcasts, or those who wish to leave behind their pasts. It is a brotherhood bound by duty, honor, and a shared commitment to protecting the realm, no matter how harsh or ungrateful the task may seem.
The surrounding lands beyond the Wall are known as the Haunted Forest, a bleak and desolate region populated by wildlings, also known as free folk, who live outside the laws of the Seven Kingdoms. The land is harsh and unforgiving, with deep forests, icy rivers, and jagged hills. These people are often seen as enemies
