Bay of Seals
On this tab
The Bay of Seals opens along the eastern coast of the north of Westeros, running from the icy waters beyond the Wall down to the lands held by House Umber. On its shore stands Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, the Night's Watch castle turned toward the water, and within its waters lies the island of Skagos.
Wildlings cross this bay to raid Umber lands, and ships carrying messengers, pleas, and news between distant corners of the realm cross it too.
Voyages
Wildling Raids
Bands of wildlings cross the bay in small boats to raid the lands held by House Umber. Faced with these attacks, Hother Umber demands that a fleet be built to stop them.

Storm
Storm of Stannis's Fleet
Twenty-nine ships under Salladhor Saan set out from the Wall on Stannis's orders, with Davos Seaworth aboard, bound for White Harbor to treat with Lord Wyman Manderly.
Crossing the bay they run into a storm: black skies, icy winds, and lashing rain harry them the whole way down the coast. The galleys Oledo and Old Mother's Son smash apart on the rocks of Skagos, and the great cog Saathos Saan founders off the Grey Cliffs.
