Lord Farwynd of the Lonely Light was one of the many nobles in attendance for the Great Council of 101 AC at Harrenhal. His descendants prospered and continue to live there, though other ironborn believe them mad. Their captain built a tower and a beacon there, took the name "Farwynd", and declared the Lonely Light his seat. HistoryĪ thousand years after the time of King Brandon the Burner, ironmen sailing out of Great Wyk were blown off course into a cluster of islands eight days sail from the closest shore. Some claim that the Farwynds from the Lonely Light lie with seals to bring forth half-human children, while others claim the Farwynds are skinchangers who can take the forms of sea lions, walruses, and spotted whales. The Farwynds and the smallfolk they rule are regarded as queer.
