Blacktyde is the northernmost of the seven great isles of the Iron Islands, lying north of Orkmont and northwest of Harlaw. <ref name="IronIslands">George R. R. Martin, ''The World of Ice and Fire'', (London: HarperVoyager, 2014) pp. 175-178</ref> | |||
Though counted among the major islands of the archipelago, Blacktyde is less notable than its neighbors. The isle is sparsely populated, its stony hills supporting little more than sheep and goats. Scattered along its coasts stand small fishing villages, where hardy folk harvest fish, crabs, and mussels from the cold, churning sea. Many of Blacktyde’s smaller islets remain uninhabited, save for seabirds and seals. <ref name="IronIslands">George R. R.
