Location from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
A cluster of barren, wind-scoured islands in Ironman's Bay — home to the ironborn reavers who worship the Drowned God and take what they want by force under the words 'We Do Not Sow.'
The Iron Islands are poor, harsh, and proud of both. The ironborn have nothing that the land provides and everything they've taken from others — the Old Way, they call it, paying the iron price. Their religion is as unforgiving as their shores: the Drowned God demands drowning and resurrection, and ironborn warriors are literally drowned and revived as a rite of passage. Balon Greyjoy launched a rebellion from these rocks and failed. His brother Euron returned from exile with a different kind of ambition — stranger, darker, aimed not at independence but at something that terrifies even other ironborn. The islands produce iron, sailors, and resentment in roughly equal measure, and the salt wives weeping in the longhouses are a reminder that the Old Way is someone else's nightmare.
Seven major islands of dark rock and sparse grass rising from grey, churning seas. No trees of any size grow here — the salt wind kills them. Iron mines pit the landscape, and longships crowd every harbor. The sky is the color of a bruise more often than not.
