The three sisters islands by Cris Urdiales ©

The Three Sisters are a group of three islands - Sweetsister, Longsister, and Littlesister - found in the Bite, located south of White Harbor.[1] They are considered dens of avarice and sin by septons.[2] Men from the Three Sisters are known as "Sistermen." It is known for sister's stew, a thick creamy white seafood stew.

History

The Rape of the Three Sisters was 2,000 years ago but Sisterton has not forgotten. Maesters say that 2,000 years ago, the area was conquered by Kingdom of the North, the Sistermen were a free people before that, with their kings ruling over them. Afterward they had to bend on the knees to the Eyrie to get the northmen out. The wolf and the falcon fought over the Three Sisters for 1,000 years, till between them they had gnawed all the fat and flesh off the bones of these poor islands. [3]

When there were kings on the Sisters the people there did not suffer dwarfs to live. They would cast them all into the sea as an offering to the gods. The septons made them stop that.

The Three Sisters had been a favorite haunt of smugglers for hundreds of years, and a pirate’s nest before that.

The Sunderlands dragged the Sisters into two of the Blackfyre Rebellions, and they all suffered grievously for that.

About

The Three Sisters are considered a part of the Vale and are ruled by House Sunderland. The current Lord of the Three Sisters is Triston Sunderland.

Ships go between the Three Sisters and White Harbor all the time. The Sisters sell crab, fish and goat cheese to White Harbor and in return they sell them wood, wool and hides.[3] Sister's stew is a white seafood stew that is served all over the Three Sisters, in every inn and tavern.

Quotes
