Southron
Southron is a northern Westerosi name for the southern Westerosi that come from below the Neck. It can also be a patronising name at times.
The free folk refer to all Westerosi south of the Wall as southron.[1] The name can also be used outside of Westeros. By the Isle of Cedars, Victarion Greyjoy thinks of the treacherous storms encountered by the Iron Fleet as “southron storms”.[2]
