赫伦堡(Harrenhal)是一座建于征服战争之前的巨大城堡,位于河间地,在神眼湖北岸。是七大王国中最大的堡垒。但自从征服战争以来,这一直就是一个阴暗且满目疮痍的地方。
布局
城堡有五座极其巨大的塔楼,以及同样厚重的城墙。城墙是难以置信的厚,里面的房间就算给巨人住都足够。城堡的拥有者通常是维斯特洛上最富有的人,拥有一大片肥沃的土地。
赫伦堡面积是临冬城的三倍,其建筑大到没有什么可以与之相比。马厩可以容纳一千只马,神木林占地20亩,厨房跟临冬城的大厅一样大。
不过,赫伦堡的大部分已经衰败。河安们只使用五座塔楼的下三分之二层,留下剩下的部分渐渐变成废墟,城堡的许多地方已经几十年未被涉足过了。蝙蝠寄居于一些塔楼的顶端。[1]
城墙与塔楼
赫伦堡是以一个庞大的尺寸建造的,厚重而陡峭的城墙就像一座悬崖一样耸立着,从地上看在城墙顶部的城垛中的投石机就跟虫子一样小。赫伦堡的门楼就跟临冬城的主堡一样大,上面的石头是变色而裂开的。从门楼外看,由于被高墙挡住了视野,五座塔楼只有塔顶才能被看到。
城堡的五座塔楼之中,最矮的塔楼一半都比临冬城最高的建筑要高,但是没有一座塔楼是完好无损的。塔楼被扭曲,石头崩裂,被坦格利安的龙几个世纪以前所熔化。他们的原名随着黑心赫伦之死而不为人知了。[1]
五座塔楼:
- 恐怖塔
- 寡妇塔,通过一座石桥与焚王塔相连。底部是一间用来关押犯人的巨大牢房。
- 号哭塔,底层有储藏室,下方是巨大的地窖。
- 厉鬼塔,后面与圣堂的废墟坐落在其附近。
- 焚王塔,城主的房间位于此。通过一座石桥与寡妇塔相连。
已知的城门:
- 大门,通过大门,城墙之厚以至于需要穿越至少一打的杀人洞才能到达另一边的院子。
- 东门,比中门小,位于厉鬼塔附近。
其他
- 百炉厅,是城堡大厅的名字,而事实上只有大约34或者35个炉子,据说能容纳一整只军队[1]。地板是由光滑的石板铺成,有通向上方两个走廊的楼梯。
- 厨房,位于一个圆形的石质建筑内,有一个半球形的屋顶。整座建筑都是厨房。跟临冬城的大厅一样大。[1]
- 兵营大厅,位于军械库上方,为士兵们用餐场所[1]。
- 军械库,位于兵营大厅下方,锻炉所在的位置。
- 神木林,被围墙围住的占地超过二十亩,有一条小溪从中流过,心树似乎有一个充满仇恨的面庞,有个扭曲的嘴和一双燃烧的眼睛。位于兵营大厅和军械库之后。
- '熊坑’,十码宽,五码深,石头墙壁,沙子地面,周围有六圈大理石长凳[2]。位于城堡的中部。
历史
黑心赫伦
Harren the Black, King of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, built Harrenhal as a monument to himself, intending it to be the greatest of all castles in Westeros and for it to dwarf any other. The construction of his dream took forty years. Thousands of captives from the other realms died in the quarries chained to sledges or laboring on the five huge towers. Weirwoods were cut down to provide rafters and beams.
Upon its completion, King Harren boasted that his new fortress was impregnable, and it was. However, he didn't account for Aegon the Conqueror and his dragons invading Westeros. The dragons were not obstructed by high walls and forbidding towers and roasted Harren alive in the tallest of the towers, now known as the Kingspyre. Due to the extreme heat, the castle took on a charred, melted appearance.[5]
从1AC到298AC
Since the Conquest, the castle has become something of a white elephant. It is too big to garrison effectively and too expensive to maintain. Since Harren's death, the castle has passed through a number of noble houses, Every one of them met with misfortune.
It is believed the castle is cursed and haunted due to Harren's hubris and the horrors that have occurred within the castle's walls. It's said Harren was mixing human blood into the mortar for the stonework.[4] The curse is thought to prevent any Lord from holding Harrenhal indefinitely. All the Houses ever to hold Harrenhal have died out.
List of extinct Noble houses, who held Harrenhal after Harren, in order:
- House Qoherys
- House Towers
- House Harroway
- House Strong
- House Lothston
- House Whent
298AC之后
During the early stages of the War of the Five Kings, Lady Whent yielded Harrenhal to Lord Tywin Lannister, who held it with his own troops. Officially, Cersei Lannister granted the castle to Janos Slynt in return for his service. Tyrion Lannister, acting as Hand, revoked the title and sent Slynt to the Wall. Later, Tywin Lannister gave the castle instead to Petyr Baelish for his role in securing the marriage pact between the Lannisters and Tyrells. Baelish has retained official title to the castle ever since. Though he has never set foot within his walls, the castle's large dominion elevated Petyr's social position enough to marry Lysa Tully.
In truth, however, the castle was seized several times throughout the war and harbored a number of atrocities. Tywin Lannister's garrison included bannermen lead by Ser Amory Lorch and Ser Gregor Clegane. They were bolstered by the Brave Companions mercenary company. All three groups had cut bloody swaths across the land to reach Harrenhal. The men treated the smallfolk of the castle cruelly. Lorch's men and the Brave Companions feuded, resulting in more deaths. Tywin left, leaving Lorch as castellan. Arya Stark, who had been hiding at the castle, convinced Jaqen H'ghar to help her free the castle's northern prisoners and revolt against the Lannisters. The Brave Companions butchered the Lannister bannermen and all who were loyal to them, then handed the castle to Lord Roose Bolton.
Roose ruled over Harrenhal for only a short time. Vargo Hoat suspected that Roose would switch sides to the Lannisters, and maimed his captive Ser Jaime Lannister in an attempt to prevent this. The ruse failed, and the northern men abandoned the castle, leaving it to the Brave Companions. With Lannister reprisal dangling over their heads, the Companions indulged in wanton sadism and kept the castle's bearpit well-stocked with victims. Eventually Ser Gregor Clegane's men returned to the castle and butchered the mercenaries who had not already fled. Clegane left to participate in the trial-by-combat of Tyrion Lannister, and Ser Jaime Lannister returned to take control. He cleared out Clegane's men and replaced the garrison with the pious regiment known as the Holy Hundred, lead by Ser Bonifer Hasty.
Harrenhal's reputation for being cursed might be well founded as many of the lords knights who recently commanded or garrisoned the castle came to horrific ends.
