A Song of Ice & Fire

The warrior ways of the Dothraki might make them appear as simple barbarian savages, screaming into the sky as they charge into battle. And many commanders have underestimated them because of those stereotypes.

Everyone in Westeros knows of The Wall and the stalwart Night’s Watch that mans it. Slightly less well-known is what are on the flanks of the towering edifice. To the West, there’s the Shadow Tower.
