===Vale of Arryn===
{{Main|Vale of Arryn}}
The Vale of Arryn lies to the east of the riverlands, surrounded almost completely by the [[Mountains of the Moon]]. It consists of vast mountain ranges with the people living in valleys between them, such as the [[Vale proper]], and along the coast. The Vale's territory also includes the city of [[Gulltown]], the [[Fingers]], and numerous islands in the [[Bite]] and along the [[narrow sea]].

The Vale is under the rule of [[House Arryn]], one of the oldest lines of Andal nobility who once were [[Kings of Mountain and Vale]]. Their seat, the [[Eyrie]], is a castle high in the mountains, small but unassailable. Due to the Vale's harsh winters, travel is only possible through the mountains during certain seasons. Rebellious [[Vale mountain clans|mountain clans]] make travel even more dangerous. The people of the Vale are known as Valemen{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}} and those of the [[Three Sisters]] as Sistermen. Bastards born in the Vale are given the surname Stone.
