Pyke

Seat of House Greyjoy

A castle of black stone strung across sea-stacks and rope bridges — seat of Dagon Greyjoy, whose longships reave the sunset sea while the dragons' peace holds everywhere else.

The fuller tale

Pyke is a castle of black stone strung across storm-battered sea-stacks by rope bridges that would unsettle a mainland lord on his best day, seat of House Greyjoy and their old creed that a ship earns more honor than a plow. Dagon Greyjoy currently tests exactly how far that creed can be indulged under a crown determined to keep its peace — his longships reave the sunset coasts from Lannisport to Seagard while the rest of the Seven Kingdoms enjoys the long, comfortable calm Daeron II’s reign is remembered for, a discrepancy the Iron Throne has noticed and not yet found convenient to correct.

In the first season

Dagon Greyjoy rules here in this age, and his longships trouble every western shore — the one war the king's peace cannot quite put down.

The fallen of this place — if any, they are named here. Spoilers.

No death the chronicle records has come to this ground — or none the maesters have set down.
