History
The North is the oldest of all of the kingdoms, descending from the First Men after they fled from beyond the wall. The Northern kingdoms fought a long and bloody war against The children of the forest. Eventually the children created the white walkers as a means of defense against the humans that fought against them, but the walkers proved a greater threat than the men themselves. The children and the men eventually formed an alliance with each other in order to fight against the white walkers that they had created, and in doing so successfully vanquished the white walkers, for a time. After the fighting was over The children of the forest vanished from society, never to be seen again. After the fighting was over a man by the name of Bran the Builder constructed a massive wall of ice to prevent any further invasions from the north, the wall eventually led to the formation of the Nights Watch. When the Andals invaded centuries later the northern lords were the only ones able to successfully hold them off, which explains why the northern gene-pool is still predominately blood from the first men. Today they still stand united under their new king, waiting for a chance to avenge their old lord and kill the people who executed him.

Troop Tree
The Westerlands is a very well balanced kingdom. Because of their riches they are able to afford heavy plated armor for just about all of their troops, even archers. The Westerlands fields heavy shock cavalry, powerful crossbowmen, and heavy footmen. Westerland troops are best used with the crossbowmen elevated on a hill and a line of infantry protecting them. You should have your cavalry close to the side of your infantry. When the enemy troops advance their cavalry towards you charge your own horseman at them to the side and charge your infantry straight towards them.
Unique, Heritage Based Troops
The player can recruit the following special, elite troops if Westerlands is chosen as the starting people:
-Lion Guard can be recruited from NPC named Marek Ward located in Casterly Rock if starting people is Westerlands AND if renown is high enough.
-The Lion Guard are one of the most elite heavy cavalry units in the game. Serve as devastating heavy shock cavalry.
Lannistor Household Troops
-House Lannistor troops can be recruited if the player directly governs the city of Lannisport through the NPC Ser Benedict Broom.
Extra Information
The Westerlands will become involved in a war against The North and The Riverlands very quickly.
You start off the game in The Westerlands.
King Joffrey has 7 Kingsguard, however they get captured often. If you save a Kingsguard from captivity he may join you as a companion.
The Westerlands is the only kingdom that actually uses crossbows.
Recruiting units from The Westerlands
In order to recruit Westerland units from villages you own as an independent kingdom you will need to select a Westerland race on character creation. Westerland units can be recruited from villages regardless of player status unless they are hostile to The Westerlands. Additional ways to recruit Westerland units is to rescue them from enemy lords parties, find them in taverns, or rescue them from enemy garrisons.
