But given the conversation that Walder Frey and Roose Bolton have about after the Red Wedding, it seems to me that the liege lord always rules from the same castle, so was Storm's End ever the seat of power in the Stormlands?
Why do you say that, out of curiosity? |
1. Yes Stannis is the liege lord of Dragonstone. He of course was the brother of former king Robert Baratheon, but is now in open rebellion against kings landing now that it is in the hands of the Lannisters.
2. No High Garden is to south west of King's Landing in a region known as the Reach. It is considered one of the wealthiest regions in Westeros, and home to the regions largest commercial port city, Old Town.
Highgarden was not promoted the same way Roose Bolton was. The Tyrells are one of the most powerful families in Westeros, so Tywin Lannister arranged the marriage between Jofferey and Margaery Tyrell to ensure the Tyrells are on their side of the war.
The Boltons were appointed defacto rulers of the North by Tywin Lannister (King's Landing) when the Stark family had been pretty much crushed and placed in shambles after the red wedding and the demise of Rob Stark
