Line 128:

The Stone-Born dwell apart from other men, and seek them out only for trade or plunder. They are excellent stone-workers, raisers of runestones and carvers of rock, but also skilled boatmen who can terrorise any of the eastern shores of the north.<ref>Martin, ''World of Ice and Fire'', pp. 139-140.</ref>

The frozen island archipelago of Skagos is situated in the Shivering Sea, a frigid and harsh region. Sailing within its waters requires great skill and knowledge to navigate the sea ice and jagged rocks.

The Stone-Born who upon these islands are rough, hardy peoples, hairy and stout-nosed. They dwell apart from other men, and they depart their islands only to trade or to plunder. Whilst the rest of Westeros has developed the use of Bronze, the Skagosi remain primarily excellent stone-workers, raisers of runestones, and carvers of rock and bone; the only metal in prominence is copper. They migrate between the seasons, moving from huts made of stone, wood, mud, bone, and hide in the summer, to huddling within deep cave systems in the winter.

Their islander nature and experience in navigating their shores have made the Skagosi into skilled sailors and navigators who frequently terrorise any of the eastern shores of the north and Beyond the Wall.

Summer is fleeting, and winter has honed the Skagosi into fearsome and brutal peoples with customs to match. They are said to be cannibalistic and are riders of the shaggy unicorns native to the islands.

There are three main clans on the islands of Skagos: Magnar, Crowl and Stane. Meanwhile, the islands in the north of the archipelago are even more remote and unknown to outsiders – Skane and Riis Du.
