The Stony Shore
Costa Pedregosa
The Stony Shore is the stretch of pebbled beaches and fishing hamlets that closes off the North's western edge, near the Wolfswood and the lands sworn to House Tallhart.
Its emptiness and its exposure to the sea make it the ironborn's favourite door whenever they come looking for land to plunder.

Old kings, older masters

After the Long Night, House Fisher ruled these stones as kings, a title they kept until the Kings of Winter reduced them to vassals of Winterfell. Whether any Fisher remains in the area, or whether the line simply died out, is not known.
Later, during the reign of Harrag Hoare over the Iron Islands, it was the ironborn who seized control of the shore for themselves.
