The Crownlands and the location of Massey's Hook

Massey's Hook is a peninsula in the Crownlands that defines the eastern extent of Blackwater Bay.[1] Sailors must sail around in order to get to King's Landing from the south.[2] Sharp Point, the seat of House Bar Emmon, sits at the northern end of the hook.[3] Further south lies Stonedance, the seat of House Massey, from whom the land gets its name.[4]

History

Prior to the War of Conquest, Massey's Hook was ruled by the Storm Kings of the Stormlands. The Bar Emmons and Masseys developed close ties with House Targaryen of Dragonstone, however, and allied with Aegon the Conqueror against King Argilac the Arrogant of Storm's End.[5] After Aegon's victory, Massey's Hook became part of the new Crownlands of the Targaryens.
