Geography

The Street of Steel begins at the southwest corner of Fishmonger's Square and curves up the western slope of Visenya's Hill to the Great Sept of Baelor.[1][2] Most smiths of the capital have their forges there. The higher up one goes, the more expensive the shops. At its top is the shop of Tobho Mott.[2]

History

The young Duncan the Tall once saw Lord Brynden Rivers and his Raven's Teeth up the Street of Steel.[3]

Lord Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, and Lord Stannis Baratheon visited the shop of Tobho Mott, where they met Gendry, one of King Robert I Baratheon's bastards.[2]

Quotes

The Street of Steel, by Franz Miklis © Fantasy Flight Games

Ned turned off the square where the Street of Steel began and followed its winding path up a long hill, past blacksmiths working at open forges, freeriders haggling over mail shirts, and grizzled ironmongers selling old blades and razors from their wagons. The farther they climbed, the larger the buildings grew.[2]

—thoughts of Eddard Stark

Every day, every night, hammers rang along the Street of Steel, and the great chain grew longer.[5]
