the westernlands is one of the constituent regions of the seven kingdoms. the westernlands are ruled from the castle of casterly rock by house lannister. it is one of the smaller regions of the seven kingdoms geographically but has one of the larger populations. it is also immensely rich in natural resources, particularly metals. predominantly mountainous, the hills of the westernlands are riddled with veins of gold and silver, the mining of which has made the lannisters and their bannermen immensely rich; the abundance of iron also allows them to easily forge weapons and military equipment. while the lannister's armies are not as huge as those of the each, they are the best-equipped in the realm with heavily-armored soldiers and cavalry.
