Fingers
- For the ironman, see Fingers (ironman).
The Fingers are narrow peninsulas of the northeastern Vale of Arryn which extend out into the narrow sea and the Shivering Sea.[1] Pebble is north of the Fingers and the Paps is northeast, while Coldwater Burn and Snakewood are west of the peninsulas.[2]
The Fingers are windswept, treeless, bare and stony. It often rains in the region.[3] The seat of House Baelish, an unnamed old flint tower, sits on the smallest of the Fingers.[4][3]
