The High Magic of Moat Cailin

November 12, 2025 | By History of Westeros

At least two major geological events are attributed to the Hammer of the Waters – the breaking of the arm of Dorne and the flooding of the Neck. One or both of those were unleashed from Moat Cailin. Why there, and what else might it take to accomplish such sorcery? What are the implications of power on this scale? Perhaps it’s related to the magic that made the seasons irregular.
