Stannis touched the Painted Table. "Look at it, onion knight. My realm, by rights. My Westeros." He swept a hand across it. "This talk of Seven Kingdoms is a folly. Aegon saw that three hundred years ago when he stood where we are standing. They painted this table at his command. Rivers and bays they painted, hills and mountains, castles and cities and market towns, lakes and swamps and forests ... but no borders. It is all one. One realm, for one king to rule alone."
      - George R.R. Martin, a Storm of Swords

The sun-scorched tans of Dorne, the lush greens of Highgarden, and the chilling grays of Winterfell... Westeros is a realm of vibrant colors. Today, you can contribute its splendor; submit your entry to the Battles of Westeros miniatures painting contest!
