In the Age of Heroes when the likes of Bran the Builder, Lann the clever and Nymeria the Warrior Queen shaped what Westeros is today, House Dark Frost was born. The founder of his house, Rodrick Dark Frost was feared and known throughout the North. Many would repeat the stark words when they learnt of his coming, for he was winter in a man. The true beginning of his house was when, in Bran the builders moment of peril, set upon by the Boltons in a ambush, the Dark Frost forces set upon the enemy's rear routing them and saving Brans life. When told that anything he wished within Brans power he would have. Rodrick asked for Thalia Stark, Brans only sister.
With his request granted and with the help of Bran the Builder he made Dark Frost, their ancestral castle, over the course of 12 years. Built against one of the many mountains just north of Winterfell, about one mile from the Wolfswood. Dark Frost had 3 walls, the outer wall around 15 metres high and 3 metres thick stood in front of the thirty feet wide moat with the 2nd wall at 5 metres higher than the last and a extra metre thick at its other side. The 2nd wall protecting the 90 or so stone buildings which housed Dark Frosts Elite troops and smiths. Finally the 3rd wall at a castle worthy 36 metres high and 5 across protects the inner castle: smithies, stables and the keep. Along each wall at every 80 feet there are dark grey towers with archer slits and murder holes. Combined, these aspect make for a truly bloody assault before a attacker even reaches the keep, which is part of the mountain itself.
The sigil of House Dark frost is a silver direwolf head covered in frost in a field of black. The current Lord of Dark Frost is Rickon Dark Frost who fought in the rebellion against the Targeryens and against the Greyjoy rebellion, has 3 children, his eldest Brandon 19, Lyanna 16 (after the stark of the same name) and finally Torrehn 13. House Dark Frost owns 2 Valryian steel swords: Black Frost a two handed greatsword with sliver direwolves adorning the hilt and Dragonbain a one handed longsword which hilt is made of dragons bone.
