[edit]Sharp Point has a large watchtower upon which a great fire burns atop.[2]
History
[edit]Sharp Point was founded during the coming of the Andals to Westeros by the warlord Togarion Bar Emmon, who established a new kingdom on Massey's Hook. The peninsula was eventually recovered by the Storm Kings of House Durrandon, however, and included within the stormlands.[3]
Although sworn to King Argilac the Arrogant of Storm's End, Lord Bar Emmon had stronger ties to Lord Aegon Targaryen of Dragonstone, and the Bar Emmons supported the Targaryens during Aegon's Conquest.[4] The castle became part of the newly-created crownlands and are now sworn to Dragonstone.[5]

Quotes
[edit]The great fire that burned atop the Sharp Point watchtower at the end of Massey's Hook reminded him of the ruby she wore at her throat, and when the world turned red at dawn and sunset the drifting clouds turned the same color as the silks and satins of her rustling gowns.[2]
