Location of Ibben on the Wolrd map

Ibben (sometimes called Ib) is an island nation, located north of the Dothraki Sea, in the Shivering Sea, which is the polar sea north of the eastern continent. The Port of Ibben is the chief city of Ibben. It is a cold, mountainous wasteland region where mammoths said to roam.[1]

People

Most Ibbenese live on their large island and several smaller ones, with a few colonies on the Essosi mainland.[2] They are whalers who live off the large population of whales in the Shivering Sea. They pilot fat-bellied whaling ships, hulls black with tar, and sometimes reach as far as King's Landing for trade.[3] The Ibbenese are usually described as hairy[4] and squat, with rasping voices [5] who chew blubber.[2] They are fond of axes[6] and carry shaggy brown shields. [7]

Behind the scenes

Martin described Ibben as being the size of Iceland.[2]
