'''The Sisters''', commonly '''The Three Sisters''' as well, are a volcanic <ref>Martin, A Dance With Dragons, p. 126</ref> island chain located south of [[The North]]; east of [[The Neck]]; and north of the [[Mountain and Vale|The Vale]] in the bay of The Bite. Though a myriad of smaller islands also make up the archipelago, the three largest landmasses of - from west to east - Longsisters; Sweetsister; and Little Sister far exceed their brethren in size and influence.

Largely isolated from mainland Westeros since before the coming of the [[First Men]], the Three Sisters developed a culture and ecology unique to its isolation. Lacking in any naturally occurring Weirwood, the soil is home largely to thin vegetation well suited to the local humidity. Limited forestry covers portions of the island, and remains largely maintained through the intervention of the inhabitants. Of which, all native born are refered to as '''Sisterfolk''', or sometimes '''Sistermen''' - though almost exclusively so by outsiders.
