Estermont
Estermont is an island in the narrow sea east of Cape Wrath in the stormlands. Greenstone, the seat of House Estermont, is located on the island.[1]
Geography
Small and mountainous,[1] Estermont is "damp, windswept, and poor" according to Archmaester Gyldayn.[2]
History
Estermont and the islands to its south were added to the realm of the Storm Kings of House Durrandon during the reign of Erich the Sailmaker.[3]
Estermont was conquered shortly after Tarth during the coming of the Andals to the stormlands. Peace in the region was eventually achieved when the Durrandons and their First Men bannermen intermarried with the Andals.[4]
Some Storm Kings kept war fleets at Estermont.[5]
Near the end of 55 AC, Rhaena Targaryen spent time at Greenstone with her cousin and childhood friend, Larissa Velaryon.[2]

Quotes
That Lady Larissa's presence drew Rhaena Targaryen to Estermont cannot be doubted, for the island was elsewise singularly lacking in charm, being damp, windswept, and poor.[2]
