George RR Martin Reveals What The Lannisters' Home Really Looks Like

The Lannisters' home is aptly named; Casterly Rock is, quite literally, built atop a giant rock next to the city of Lannisport. Sharing the image on his blog and Twitter, George RR Martin confirmed the official appearance of House Lannisters' ancestral seat. According to the books, the Rock has belonged to the Lannisters since the Age of Heroes, with their ancestor, Lann the Clever, tricking House Casterly into giving him their castle thousands of years before the events of "Game of Thrones."

There seems to have been a certain amount of confusion about what Casterly Rock looks like. Let me put that to rest...

"The seat of House Lannister has been mentioned hundreds of times in the five published novels of 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' but the story has never actually gone there... yet," teased Martin on his blog. "This seems to have led to a certain amount of confusion as to what Casterly Rock looks like. Let me put that to rest."

The author went on to say that, while not all of Ted Nasmith's designs are what Martin had in mind, the artist's rendition of Casterly Rock is spot-on. Martin also hinted at a potential trip to the Rock in the future — as well as whether the mountainous castle could survive an attack from dragons.
