Farwynd

House Farwynd is a noble house from the Iron Islands. Their lands lie on the Lonely Light, an island eight days sail to the northwest of Great Wyk as well as Sealskin Point. The Farwynds and the smallfolk they rule are regarded as queer. Some claim that the Farwynds from the Lonely Light lie with seals to bring forth half-human children, while others claim the Farwynds are skinchangers who can take the forms of sea lions, walruses, and spotted whales. A thousand years after the time of King Brandon the Burner, ironmen sailing out of Great Wyk were blown off course into a cluster of islands eight days sail from the closest shore. Their captain built a tower and a beacon there, took the name 'Farwynd', and declared the Lonely Light his seat. His descendants prospered and continue to live there, though other ironborn believe them mad.
