What’s the deal with House Broom? They’re sworn to the Lannisters yet their fief is due north or Riverrun and well east of the “Golden Hills” – practically bordering Oldstones (https://racefortheironthrone.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/westerlands-political-map.jpg?w=580&h=768). My theory is that they were once sworn to the ruling Riverlands dynasty but switched fealty to the Lannisters during one of the periods of crisis to ensure adequate protection against the Ironborn. Thoughts?
That chunk of land is still part of the hills of the Westerlands, just the easternmost part of those hills – although it can’t be that passable if there’s still a need to go down the Golden Tooth pass.
Also, it looks less easterly in other maps. Keep in mind WOIAF maps aren’t great (see the botch job they did on the Vale of Arryn).
