The Iron Islands

The Iron Islands are a group of rugged, rocky islands off the northern coast of Westeros, known for their difficult climate and maritime culture. The inhabitants, called Ironborn, have a history of seafaring, piracy, and raiding. They value strength, independence, and their traditional way of life centered around the sea. The islands are led by a ruling council, but their people often challenge central authority, prioritizing their own traditions. Their landscape is harsh but rich in resources like fish and iron, shaping their resilient, seafaring identity.
