Lordsport is a small harbor town with a keep, on the island of Pyke. Providing safe anchor for those who wish to reach Pyke. It is the seat of House Botley.

History

During the Greyjoy Rebellion, Lordsport and its keep were the first place on Pyke to fall[1], when Robert Baratheon forces embarked on pyke. The keep and the town was razed and the sept was burned to the ground.[2]

Eventually, the keep and town were rebuilt. Lord Sawane Botley chose to build his next stronghold to be much stronger, than his previous small square keep, selecting stone over the timber and wattle that had proven little protection against the invading forces. While the town was rebuilt by the inhabitants, using the stones from the burned remnants and cutting new thatch for their roofs. The inn that sits next to the harbor was rebuilt, this time larger with its main floor done in stone and its upper two stories done in wood. However, the sept was never rebuilt.[2]
