Orkmont is a island full of jagged hills, bare rock, and iron-rich soil

Geography and Background edit

Among the seven great isles of the Iron Islands, Orkmont lies in the middle of it, a land of jagged hills, bare rock, and iron-rich soil. [1]

Once Orkmont was thick with forests, but in the distant past the shipwrights of the Iron Islands stripped its woods for timber, feeding the longships that carried the ironborn to distant shores. Now only stunted scrub and thin grasses remain, and the land is dominated by stone and ore. [1]

Beneath the hills of Orkmont lie some of the richest veins of iron, lead, and tin in all the islands. These metals are the lifeblood of the isle’s trade and forgecraft, worked by skilled smiths into swords, axes, and mail. Though much of this metal finds its way to the forges of Lordsport, many of the finest weapons of the isles are still shaped on Orkmont’s own anvils. [1]

Orkmont is the seat of the mighty House Greyiron, the Iron Kings.
