Under Harald's rule, Kaer Carreg was functional, housing a kitchen, a great hall and a small armoury. Living quarters were sparse: a small study/library attached to his quarters (shared with his wife Gisla), whilst his children Astrid, Sven and Ragnar had rooms of their own. The rest of the household slept within a curtained area of the great hall.

Trivia

  • The name of the castle is in the Skellige jargon of Elder Speech and presumably translates to "stone keep".
  • In the real world, Caer Garreg is Welsh and means "Stonecastle" or "Fort of Stone" ("Caer" meaning castle or fortification and "carreg" meaning stone or rock). Kaer/Kêr Karreg means "City of Rock/Stone" in Breton.
