House Glover of Deepwood Motte holds a timber-walled castle deep in the wolfswood, a few days' ride inland from Bear Island and the western coast. Before House Stark crowned themselves Kings in the North, the Glovers were petty kings of the wolfswood in their own right, and they have ruled at Deepwood Motte ever since the Long Night, second in the wolfswood only to the Mormonts across the bay. They are unusual among the great northern houses in that they have no words, an omission they treat as their own peculiar pride.
Lord Galbart Glover is unmarried and childless, and rides south with Robb Stark when the banners are called, leaving his younger brother Robett behind as castellan. Robett has a wife and young children at Deepwood Motte and is reckoned the steadier of the two, though both brothers are counted among the most trusted of Robb's bannermen.
