Standing on the Red Fork west of Riverrun, Pinkmaiden Castle guards the river road towards the westerlands. Golden Tooth lies beyond it to the north-west, making the castle an early stop for any army coming out of Lannister country.
House Piper holds it under the Tullys, a modest house whose lords have a reputation for hot tempers and loud loyalty. Their dancing maiden banner is a familiar sight in any riverlands muster.
