Iron Islands Map
The complete map of House Greyjoy’s rocky sea realm — from Pyke and Old Wyk to Great Wyk, Harlaw, Lordsport, Nagga’s Hill, and the storm-beaten islands of the Ironborn
The Iron Islands are a harsh group of rocky islands off the western coast of Westeros, ruled by House Greyjoy from Pyke. The region is known for the Ironborn, longships, raiding culture, the Drowned God, and key islands such as Great Wyk, Old Wyk, Harlaw, Saltcliffe, Orkmont, and Pyke. Their geography makes them poor for farming but powerful at sea.
What Are the Iron Islands?
The Iron Islands are not a rich kingdom of fields and castles — they are a hard sea realm shaped by salt, stone, ships, and old defiance.
The Iron Islands sit off the western coast of Westeros in the Sunset Sea. Unlike the fertile Reach, the wealthy Westerlands, or the vast North, the Iron Islands are rocky, storm-beaten, and poor in farmland.
This harsh geography shaped the identity of the Ironborn. Instead of sowing fields, they built ships, raided coasts, and developed a culture centered on sea strength, old ways, and the worship of the Drowned God.
The political heart of the islands is Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy, but the full map includes other important islands such as Old Wyk, Great Wyk, Harlaw, Saltcliffe, and Orkmont. Each island adds to the fragmented but fierce identity of the region.
This page is your main hub for the Iron Islands map, helping readers explore Pyke, Lordsport, Old Wyk, Nagga’s Hill, Harlaw, Great Wyk, and the sea routes that make the Ironborn dangerous far beyond their rocky homeland.
