Flint Cliffs
On this tab
The Flint Cliffs run along the northern shore of the Iron Bay, near Cape Kraken, and take their name from House Flint of Flint's Finger. What little is told of them centers on a legendary tower at their heights and on the feat of a boy who dared climb up to it.
Balon at the tower
Balon Greyjoy, only ten years old, climbed these cliffs to a tower at their summit, said in legend to belong to a figure known as the Blind Lord.
The episode is remembered as an early glimpse of the temperament of the man who would later rule the Iron Islands.

PositionWe worked it out
The position was inferred from the label on the base map rather than from a symbol of its own: it marks the area, not the point.
