==About==
+
==Inhabitants==
 +
Those who dwell on the Quiet Isle are male penitents seeking to atone for their sins. Only the [[Elder Brother (Quiet Isle)|Elder Brother]] and his [[proctor]]s are permitted to speak on the island and the proctors only one day in seven. The brothers are allowed to break their silence when confessing, as it is hard to speak of sin with signs and nods. Septon [[Meribald]] takes confession when he visits the isle.
  
===Inhabitants===
+
The brothers wear brown-and-dun robes, with wide bell sleeves and pointed cowls. Many brothers wind lengths of wool about the lower halves of their faces as well, so that all that can be seen of them are their eyes.

[[Elder Brother]] keeps the worst of the tidings from outside to himself, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the septry. Many of the brothers came to the isle to escape the horrors of the world, not to dwell upon them.

The Elder Brother keeps the worst of the tidings from outside to himself, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the [[septry]]. Occasionally some visitors are allowed to stay on the island. Some are women who are sick, hurt, or with child.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
  
Only the Elder Brother and his proctors are permitted to speak on the island and the proctors only one day in seven.  A vow of silence is an act of contrition, a sacrifice by which they prove their devotion to the Seven above.  The brothers are allowed to break their silence when confessing – it is hard to speak of sin with signs and nods. Septon [[Meribald]] takes confession when he visits the isle.

===Island===
 +
The isle is colder and wilder on its east side than on the sheltered side. The hill is steeper and the path meanders back and forth through weeds and briars, wind carved rocks, and twisted, thorny trees that cling to the stony hillside. [[Saltpans]] can be seen on clear nights.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
  
Occasionally some visitors are allowed to stay on the island, some are women who are sick, hurt or with child.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
+
Thick mudflats surround the island when the swift tide goes out. To get to the island from the mainland by foot one must cross the mudflats when the tide is out. Because of the dangers of quicksand, tidal pools, and drowning, the crooked approach is called the path of faith.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
  
===Layout===
+
When the tide is in the brothers use a ferry to get to the mainland. The isle's slopes are covered with terraced fields, with fishponds down below and a windmill above, its wood-and-sailcloth blades turning slowly in the breeze off the bay. Sheep graze on the hillside and storks wade in the shallow waters around the ferry landing.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
The Quiet Isle’s septry stands half a mile from the shore, where the wide mouth of the [[Trident]] widens further still to kiss the [[Bay of Crabs]]. When the tide goes out it goes out swiftly, the receding water leaving behind a broad expanse of glistening brown mudflats dotted by tidal pools that glitter like golden coins in the afternoon sun. Even from the other side of the shore the Quiet Isle’s prosperity is apparent.
 
  
The isle’s slopes are covered with terraced fields, with fishponds down below and a windmill above, its wood-and-sailcloth blades turn slowly in the breeze off the bay.   Sheep graze on the hillside and storks wade in the shallow waters around the ferry landing.  There is a whitewashed stable with a thatched roof.
+
Where the river meets the bay, numerous objects are washed toward the Quiet Isle. The brothers have found driftwood, silver cups, iron pots, sacks of wool and bolts of silk, rusted helms and shining swords, and rubies. Drowned creatures and slain bodies also wash up on the island.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
  
The top of the hill has a low wall of unmortared stone encircling a cluster of buildings and a windmill. The wooden sept has leaded glass windows and wide doors carved with the likenesses of the Mother and Father and a seven-sided steeple.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
+
===Septry===
 +
The Quiet Isle's prosperous [[septry]] stands on a island half a mile from the shore, where the wide mouth of the [[Trident]] widens further to the [[Bay of Crabs]]. A pebbled path from the shore leads through a grove of apple trees to a whitewashed stable with a peaked thatch roof.{{ref|AFFC|31}}  
  
===Path of Faith===
+
The brothers built a flight of wooden steps that wander back and forth across the steep hillside and among the buildings. There is a low barn on a lower slope, while a [[lichyard]] is found on a higher slope. A summer arbor produces small, tart grapes used for [[wine]]. The brothers brew [[ale]], and their [[mead]] and sweet [[cider]] are famous. The brothers provide themselves with their own food and appear to be self-sufficient. Food includes bread, fresh churned butter, honey, and a thick stew of crabs. They also have sheep and milk cows. {{ref|AFFC|31}}
To get to the island from the mainland by foot one must cross the mudflats when the tide is out. Only the faithful may cross safely. The wicked are swallowed by the quicksands, or drowned when the tide comes rushing in. Travelers must be careful there they set their feet, and it is recommended to follow someone familiar with the area.
 
  
The path of faith is a crooked one.  Although the island seems to rise northeast of where he leaves the shore, Septon Meribald starts due east, toward the deeper waters of the bay, which shimmer blue and silver in the distance.  The soft brown mud squishes up between toes.  As he walks he pauses from time to time to probe ahead with his quarterstaff.  A hundred yards out Meribald turned abruptly towards the south, so that his back is almost towards the septry.  He proceeds in that direction for another 100 yards, between two shallow tidal pools. 
+
The top of the hill has a low wall of unmortared stone encircling a cluster of buildings, including a windmill, the cloisters where the brothers sleep, and the common hall where they eat there meals. The wooden [[sept]] has leaded glass windows and wide doors carved with the likenesses of the [[Mother (the Seven)|Mother]] and the [[Father (the Seven)|Father]] and a seven-sided steeple with a walk on top. Behind the sept is a vegetable garden where some of the older brothers pull weeds.{{ref|AFFC|31}}
 
 
===Slope===
 
A pebbled path through a grove of apple trees leads to a whitewashed stable with a peaked that roof.
 
 
 
The slope is steeper than it looks from across the mudflats. To ease it the brothers have erected a flight of wooden steps that wander back and forth across the hillside and amongst the buildings. There is a summer arbour which produces small, tart grapes, but make drinkable wine.  The brothers brew their own ale as well, and their mead and cider are far famed. The brothers provide themselves with their own food and appear to be quite self-sufficient in that regard. Food includes bread, fresh churned butter, honey, and a thick stew of crabs.
 
 
 
===Brow of the Hill===
 
The brow of the hill is crowned by a low wall of unmortared stone, encircling a cluster of large buildings:
 
*A windmill - its sails creek as they turn
 
*The cloisters - where the brothers sleep on pallets
 
*The common hall - where the brothers take their meals
 
*A wooden [[sept]] - for prayer and meditation, the sept has windows of leaded glass, wide doors carved with the likeness of the [[Mother (the Seven)|Mother]] and the [[Father (the Seven)|Father]], and a seven-sided steeple with a walk on top
 
 
 
Behind the sept is a vegetable garden where some of the older brothers pull weeds. Around a chestnut tree is a wooden door set in the side of the hill, “the Hermit’s Hole”.

The riverlands and the location of the Quiet Isle[1]

The Quiet Isle is an upthrust island that sits at the mouth of the Trident where it flows into the Bay of Crabs, southeast of Saltpans and northwest of Maidenpool.[2] Its septry is a refuge for those sworn to the Faith of the Seven.[3] Septon Meribald has often visited the isle.

Inhabitants

Those who dwell on the Quiet Isle are male penitents seeking to atone for their sins. Only the Elder Brother and his proctors are permitted to speak on the island and the proctors only one day in seven. The brothers are allowed to break their silence when confessing, as it is hard to speak of sin with signs and nods. Septon Meribald takes confession when he visits the isle.

The brothers wear brown-and-dun robes, with wide bell sleeves and pointed cowls. Many brothers wind lengths of wool about the lower halves of their faces as well, so that all that can be seen of them are their eyes.

The Elder Brother keeps the worst of the tidings from outside to himself, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the septry. Occasionally some visitors are allowed to stay on the island. Some are women who are sick, hurt, or with child.[3]

Island

The isle is colder and wilder on its east side than on the sheltered side. The hill is steeper and the path meanders back and forth through weeds and briars, wind carved rocks, and twisted, thorny trees that cling to the stony hillside. Saltpans can be seen on clear nights.[3]

Thick mudflats surround the island when the swift tide goes out. To get to the island from the mainland by foot one must cross the mudflats when the tide is out. Because of the dangers of quicksand, tidal pools, and drowning, the crooked approach is called the path of faith.[3]

When the tide is in the brothers use a ferry to get to the mainland. The isle's slopes are covered with terraced fields, with fishponds down below and a windmill above, its wood-and-sailcloth blades turning slowly in the breeze off the bay. Sheep graze on the hillside and storks wade in the shallow waters around the ferry landing.[3]

Where the river meets the bay, numerous objects are washed toward the Quiet Isle. The brothers have found driftwood, silver cups, iron pots, sacks of wool and bolts of silk, rusted helms and shining swords, and rubies. Drowned creatures and slain bodies also wash up on the island.[3]

Septry

The Quiet Isle's prosperous septry stands on a island half a mile from the shore, where the wide mouth of the Trident widens further to the Bay of Crabs. A pebbled path from the shore leads through a grove of apple trees to a whitewashed stable with a peaked thatch roof.[3]

The brothers built a flight of wooden steps that wander back and forth across the steep hillside and among the buildings. There is a low barn on a lower slope, while a lichyard is found on a higher slope. A summer arbor produces small, tart grapes used for wine. The brothers brew ale, and their mead and sweet cider are famous. The brothers provide themselves with their own food and appear to be self-sufficient. Food includes bread, fresh churned butter, honey, and a thick stew of crabs. They also have sheep and milk cows. [3]

The top of the hill has a low wall of unmortared stone encircling a cluster of buildings, including a windmill, the cloisters where the brothers sleep, and the common hall where they eat there meals. The wooden sept has leaded glass windows and wide doors carved with the likenesses of the Mother and the Father and a seven-sided steeple with a walk on top. Behind the sept is a vegetable garden where some of the older brothers pull weeds.[3]

Hermit's Hole

The Hermit's Hole is a cave located in the side of a hill with a wooden door at its entrance, near a chestnut tree. It is the original residence of the first holy man to live on the Quiet Isle roughly two thousand years before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire. Currently the Elder Brother occupies the cave.

Woolen carpets cover the ground and tapestries cover the walls of the cozy sanctum. The cave contains a long table, a settle, a chest, cups, and several tall cases full of books and chairs. All are made of polished driftwood which appears golden in the light from tall beeswax candles.[3]

Women's cottages

Set aside for the women who visit the isle, be they noble ladies or smallfolk, are modest cottages on the eastern side of the isle, looking out over a broad expanse of mud and the distant waters of the Bay of Crabs. The cottages resemble beehives made of stone, low and rounded, windowless with smokeholes in the center of their roofs. A typical cottage includes a dirt floor, a straw pallet, furs and blankets to keep her warm, a basin of water, a flagon of cider, some bread and cheese, a small fire and two low chairs.[3]

The cottages are not often used but the brothers keep them clean and dry. On the Quiet Isle men and women do not sleep beneath the same roof unless they are wed.[3]

History

Six rubies from Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's armor, knocked loose by Lord Robert Baratheon's warhammer during the Battle of the Trident, have washed ashore at the Quiet Isle and been recovered by the brothers. Believing in the Faith of the Seven, the brothers await the appearance of a seventh ruby.[3]
