Cape Kraken is a cape which extends into the Sunset Sea. Part of the north, it lies south of Blazewater Bay and west of Flint's Finger and the Flint Cliffs. The Iron Islands are south of the cape,[1] which is named after the sea creature.

People

Some maesters believe the blood of Cape Kraken's people is closer to that of ironborn than northmen.[2]

History

In antiquity, children of the forest lived in the primeval woodland which stretched from Cape Kraken to Cape Wrath.[3]

Cape Kraken has long been disputed by the north and the Iron Islands.[2] Theon Stark, King in the North, drove the ironborn from Cape Kraken, but Loron Greyjoy, High King of the Iron Islands, later retook the cape. The sons and grandsons of King Rodrik Stark then battled the ironmen for the region.[4]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

The forces of Balon Greyjoy sail past Cape Kraken when they attack the north during the War of the Five Kings.[5] Victarion Greyjoy leads the Iron Fleet around the cape toward the Saltspear for his attack against Moat Cailin.[6]
