The Three Exiles are where exiled princes and princesses go when they lose the mock-battles, and also where they send lawbreakers.The Isle of Birds is considered to be an uninhabited isle where exotic bird species roam - some speculate magic can be used to warg these birds, much like ravens are warged up north.The Isle of Love is not the only place where people worship the fertility goddess and have sex temples - these can be found all over the isles.^ Now that is the perfect wedding of egalitarian and prosperous societies - the Summer Islanders and the Rhoynish -o The princes of the isles refused to allow her to settle on the larger islands, for fear of waking the wroth of Valyria.Īs most of Nymeria’s people were female, Abulu became known as the Isle of Women, a name it still bears today.ĭisease, hunger, and slave raids took a steady toll of the Rhoynar there, until finally Nymeria led her ten thousand ships back to sea in search of a new refuge.Ī few thousand of her followers chose to remain behind, however, and their descendants remain on the Isle of Women to this day.

Once home to Malthar the Mapmaker, it still boasts the finest shipyards in the archipelago. The God of the Deep Ones could have used the rock face to keep tabs on where everyone was sailing, as it looks out at the intersection of the Westeros, Free Cities, and Far East trading routes - pretty neat theory, IMO Yandel saying “it is plainly the work of men” probably means it is not the work of men, but whoever built the Seastone chair □ So it makes sense if it is a Deep One landmark.
