Rank 2: The Westerlands
- House: Lannister
- Capital: Casterly Rock
The Westerlands are primarily known for their wealth. This is of course due to the precious metals found in the hills in the west of the land. Thanks to their wealth, the Lannister army is well-equipped and trained, even if it is not the largest in number.
The castle Casterly Rock, the ancestral seat of the Lannisters, is considered one of the largest and most powerful fortifications in Westeros. Due to its location on a steep hill, it is nearly impregnable.
In general, the Westerlands are very strong in almost all aspects and are only surpassed in a few points. They have a large population and fertile land, but less than the Reach. The mountains provide natural protection, but less than the Vale.
Potential deficits can often be compensated for by their wealth. For example, food can be purchased, and mercenaries can be hired. However, since this always creates a certain dependency, the Westerlands rank second among the most powerful kingdoms.
