The Borderlands itself have been described as being 'untameable', due to its rugged terrain and unpredictable weathers.Īccording to legend, the Borderlands have once been part of the ancient Kingdom of the Stormlands, founded by King Durran, also known as 'Durran Godsgrief'. Despite being the youngest of the ten major regions of the continent, the Borderlands have been so remotely isolated for centuries that its inhabitants have come to develop their own culture, language, lifestyles and religion. The Borderlands are ruled from the castle of Ebonheart in the city of Blackgard by the eponymous House Blackgard following the fall of House Durrandon during the War of Conquest. The Borderlands separate The Stormlands from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms. The Borderlands ( Wastelandic: Keiz-Aal, 'Rebellion-May') is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms. ' The Borderlands of the East is a tough land to tame, and the Bordermen won't give it up willingly' ― Davos, to Stannis
