The western coastlines of the North that runs from Blazewater Bay to Sea Dragon Point. It is defined by expansive pebble beaches and rocky bluffs. The soil in thin and shallow inland, due to the lack of protection from the gusting winds. The sparse and straggly trees stand far apart from one another here. A distinct culture has emerged from the way of life that living in these parts requires, colloquially referred to by most as the Pebblemen. Pebbleman culture is defined by a lifestyle of quarrying, fishing, and defending their coast against Ironborn raiders. By the time of the Coming of the Andals there were two Pebbleman Kings along the Stony Shore - the [[House Slate|Slate]] Kings of Blackpool, and the [[House Fisher of Stony Shore|Fisher]] Kings of Whitecaster. | The western coastlines of the North that runs from Blazewater Bay to Sea Dragon Point.
