The Frozen Shore, or frozen shore,[1] is a stretch of coastline that sits on the Bay of Ice beyond the Wall.[2]

History

The ironborn of antiquity controlled the Sunset Sea from the Frozen Shore to the Arbor.[3] Wildlings from the Frozen Shore have raided Bear Island.[4]

Some accounts state gods of snow and ice are worshipped in the Frozen Shore.[5]

During the reign of King Dorren Stark, Redwyn of the Night's Watch claimed he encountered giants and children of the forest while ranging from the Shadow Tower to Lorn Point.[6][7]

Before Mance Rayder negotiated a peace, the men of the Frozen Shore fought with those of the ice-river clans.[8]

Men of the Frozen Shore are found in Mance's army as it attacks the Wall.[10]
