Iron Islands

The Iron Islands is a Kingdom based out of the islands of central Westros a region in Central Europe.

Founded fifty years after the Downfall of Numeron the islands of Iron Island were formed during the chaos of the final days of the war, when Magi from the Darm Numenor began casting countless destructive spells in the former capital of Numeron of Tail Jana. In the end so powerful were these spells that they imploded the land, and caused the land to be dotted with islands, and in some places the ruins of Tail Jana.

The ironborn have several large fleets of ships, mostly smaller longships. The mighty Iron Fleet commanded by Victarion Greyjoy consists of galleys which can stand against the largest warships produced elsewhere in Westeros. However, the ability of the ironborn to build larger ships is compromised by a lack of natural resources.

Pyke is a large island city that has taken the position of capital for the Kingdom of the Iron Islands. The city itself contains no walls surrounding it, and the only defence point in the city is the Keep which as shown in the picture is a series of Towers, that are heavily garissoned by the most elite forces in the Kingdom of the Iron Islands.

Pyke is one of the newer cities in Westros, and it was built as the Iron Islands have grown in power, and as the nobility of the islands wished for a more civilized center from which they could entertain the leaders of Westros. While this was the original purpose the city has become a military center from which the elite military units of Pyke are trained for their eventual campaigns throughout Westros.
