The castle is situated in the Westerlands, a region on the western coast of the continent. Lannistavilta is renowned for its formidable defenses, built into the side of a mountain. Its strategic location and strong fortifications have historically made it nearly impregnable.

It contains numerous halls, towers, and living quarters, capable of housing the entire Lannister family, their household, and a substantial garrison. The castle's treasury is said to be legendary, filled with gold and other valuables accumulated over generations. Its strategic importance extends beyond its defenses, as it controls key trade routes and resources within the Westerlands, further solidifying the Lannisters' dominance in the region. The ongoing influence and legacy of House Lannister are inextricably linked to the enduring might of Lannistavilta.
