===The Iron Islands=== On the [[Iron Islands]], a man can have one true- and freeborn "[[rock wife]]". However, he can also have "[[Salt wife|salt wives]]", usually women captured on raids. Salt wives are considered more than mere concubines, and any sons born of such unions are not considered [[bastard]]s, but can inherit should their father have no surviving sons by his rock wife. The number of salt wives a man can support is considered to be an indication of his power, wealth, and virility.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands}}{{Ref|ACOK|11}}
