The lives of the common people remain as poor, impoverished and primitive as they were when Urron Redhand took the Seastone Chair. Urron had all his opponents and opposition slain at Nagga's Hill, earning the nickname of Redhand for spilling fellow Ironborn blood, and made the kingship of the Iron Islands hereditary.įor a thousand years the different Ironborn houses challenged the rule of the Greyirons, until the arrival of the Andals. There is no broad social base supporting the New Way because all of its economic gains have been systematically swallowed up by a voracious elite that wants to live like greenlander lords. Urragon IV wanted to pass the throne to his great-nephew Urron Greyiron, against the wishes of the Kingsmoot. Torgon ruled for over 40 years in relative peace, and his son Urragon IV Greyiron succeeded him.

They had at least 38 High Kings chosen, more than twice the other Houses. Their sigil was the sea king's head, white with dark green seaweed beard and hair, a black crown on a grey field. They ruled as Kings of the Iron Islands for over a thousand years until they were brought down by an alliance of Andals with House Hoare, Greyjoy, Orkwood and Drumm. 'The Drowned God makes men,' old King Urron Redhand had once said, thousands of years ago, 'but its men who make crowns.' A longship would have made the crossing in half the time as well. ![]() ![]() Sovereign House Greyiron of Orkmont is an extinct noble House of the Iron Islands and its former royal House.
