The Stepstones

The Stepstones are a chain of islands between the southern narrow sea and the northwestern Summer Sea. The islands are east of Dorne in Westeros and west of the Disputed Lands in Essos. The Stepstones are home to pirate dens, often Lyseni and Myrmen. The islands are also often affected by storms.

Tyrosh is the northernmost and easternmost of the Stepstones, and other known islands are Bloodstone and Grey Gallows.

The island chain formerly hosted the Kingdom of the Stepstones, which was founded by Alyn Velaryon following the Dance of the Dragons, though that kingdom was shattered during the reign of Alyn II Velaryon.

The Islands
There are fourteen major islands in the Stepstones, and countless other minor islands, most little more than small outcrops in the Narrow Sea.

Settlements
Barring the Island of Serpents, all the isles of the Stepstones have been at some point inhabited, and thus settlements, some well-kept but most decrepit and abandoned, can be found throughout. Ports and bays large enough to shelter a fleet from a passing storm are found on many of the larger isles, in particular Bloodstone, Highwatch, Scarwood, Grey Gallows, Redwater and Pryr.
