They finally arrived; Castle Black couldn't be called much of a castle, it just was a dilapidated mash-up of stone towers and timber keeps. There were no actual curtain walls, but the towers and keeps were designed in such a way that there was only one entrance. A giant wooden stairway adorned with a small shabby gate. The whole fortress, if it could even be called that, looked incredibly bleak without a hint of liveliness.
