Lying in the open farming country of the eastern riverlands, Wendish Town was a small unwalled settlement of holdfasts, fields and a septry, defended by nothing more than a wooden palisade.
Raiders out of the westerlands sacked and burned it along with Sherrer and the Mummer's Ford, and the survivors carried word of the killings to the Iron Throne to beg for justice. Those attacks were among the first blows of the war that followed.
