Claw Isle
Claw Isle is the ancient island seat of House Celtigar. It lies a few hours sail from Dragonstone.[1]
Though Lord Celtigar has shown the world a niggardly face, he has never stinted on his own comforts. Claw Isle's castle is reputedly stuffed with Myrish carpets, Volantene glass, gold and silver plate, jeweled cups, magnificent hawks, an axe of Valyrian steel, a horn that can summon monsters from the deep, chests of rubies, and more wines that a man could drink in a 100 years.[2].
At present Claw Isle is weakly held, held by women and children and old men. Their husbands and sons and fathers died during the Battle of the Blackwater fighting beneath Stannis's banners.

A Storm of Swords
Claw Isle was lightly garrisoned after Lord Celtigar took most of the able-bodied men with him when Stannis Baratheon called his banners. After Lord Celtigar bent the knee to Joffrey I, Ser Axell Florent plotted with Salladhor Saan to attack Claw Isle as a reprisal. Davos Seaworth convinced Stannis that it was a poor decision.
