Rocky, wet, and wild, the storms that assault the stout stone keeps of Shipbreaker Bay are legendary. Here prosperity is ripped from the ground and sea in the form of stone, metal, and some of the finest sailors in all of Westeros<ref name="Stormlands231">George R.R. Martin. (2014).

The lords of arguably the most hostile lands in the kingdom have made them long-acquainted with the fickleness of the weather, and guest right here is oft sought-after and highly respected.
'''Shipbreaker Bay''' is a rocky, wet, and wild, the storms that assault the stout stone keeps are legendary. Proesperity is ripped from the ground and sea in the form of stone, metal, and some of the finest sailors in all of Westeros<ref name="Stormlands231">George R.R. Martin. (2014). ''The World of Ice and Fire - The Stormlands: The Men of the Stormlands''. p.231. London: HarperVoyager.</ref>. The lords of arguably the most hostile lands in the kingdom are long-acquainted with the fickleness of the weather, and guest right here is more than courtesy and ritual, but necessity.


Dominated by the Stag Kings of House Durrandon, the lords of this region are at the nexus of royal power in the Stormlands, where guest right and hospitality has a centuries-spanning tradition. The lords of the bay regularly break bread with each other, sharing salt, hearth, and home to those in need, and are perhaps more attuned than most to the struggles of their leal smallfolk. Loyalty, brotherhood, and a shared sense of commitment dominate local politics due to the storms that threaten all, with proud families such as [[House Konugtun]], [[House Gale|Gale]], and [[House Reaper|Reaper]] coexisting for mutual benefit and support.
