The Iron Bank
The Iron Bank is a powerful fictional financial institution from the "Game of Thrones" series and its books. It functions like a global bank that provides loans to kingdoms and rulers, often lending large sums for projects or wars. While it has significant influence due to its wealth and strategic interests, it operates with strict rules and high-interest terms. The Iron Bank’s role underscores themes of financial power and political leverage, illustrating how economic institutions can impact political stability and decision-making across nations.
