The Golden Tooth, also called the Tooth, is the seat of House Lefford in the Westerlands. It is located along the river road and is east of Ashemark and Sarsfield, west of Riverrun and Pinkmaiden, and north of Hornvale. Although the Golden Tooth is a small castle, it is a strong keep commanding the hill road.

Location[]

It is a strong fortress and is well situated to guard the main pass through the mountains and the border with the Riverlands, it is located on the mountanous terrain on the eastern Westerlands, constructed under some of the most important gold mines of the region.

The mountains sorrounding the Golden Tooth create a natural choke point for any invading army, who will have to deal with attackers for many miles even before getting to "The Tooth" itself.

The Golden Tooth is a small castle due to the size of the mountains it was built on; it is one of the strongest castles in the Westerlands having several watchtowers which allow control over the main entrance to the Westerlands.
