The Iron Islands and the location of Lonely Light

The Lonely Light is the smallest island of the eight major Iron Islands. A beacon blazes at all times on the roof of the island's namesake keep,[1] which is the seat of House Farwynd of the Lonely Light.[1]

Geography

The Lonely Light, by Martina Pilcerova © Fantasy Flight Games

While most of the Iron Islands lie in Ironman's Bay, there is a smaller group of thirteen islands[1] clustered around the Lonely Light lying eight days sail northwest of Great Wyk.[2] It lies well into the Sunset Sea and is probably the westernmost location in the known world[3] aside from the isles Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya.[4]

The Lonely Light is surrounded by rookeries of seals and sea lions and ocean.[2][5] Some say that House Farwynd of the Lonely Light and their smallfolk sleep with seals to birth half-human children, and others claim they are skinchangers who take the forms of sea lions, walruses, and spotted whales.[1]
