Also known as the Sapphire Isle, Tarth is the largest island of the Stormlands, and sits like a jewel in the shining Straits of Tarth<ref>George R.R. Martin. (2000). ''A Storm of Swords - Jaime III-IV''. Voyager Books.</ref>. Renowned for its beauty, of rich fertile soil, lakes, and waterfalls, it was coveted by both [[First Men]] and [[Andals]] in equal measure. The men of Tarth hold themselves to be braver and more honourable than the mainlanders in the rest of the Stormlands, which has cultivated an desire to be free of the control of the Storm Kings.

Though ruled by [[House Evenstar]] for millennia, during the [[Coming of the Andals|Andal Invasion]], the isle was split in two with the arrival of [[House Morne]] with Ser [[Galladon Morne]] claiming the eastern side of the island<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>, and within a few years the whole of the island would fall to to the Andals.
After [[The Storming of Tarth|the Storming of Tarth]], the isle would be awarded instead to [[House Blacktyde of Tarth|Beron Blacktyde]].
