longest and strongest tradition about the whole archery craft.

With the rather vague best term, I mean, in example, a set of these features: I was wondering which Westerosi realm 1 could boast to be the home of the best archers of the Seven Kingdoms. The reason, probably, is that nearly all the main characters are of noble birth, and, considering the strong influences of our own Medieval History on this series, this is not surprising: the sword is the main weapon of a knight and a noble, and even a symbol of knighthood itself.Įven the composition of armies seems to be described more on terms of knights and footsoldiers, we hear relatively less about archers.

He met Samwell Tarly in Braavos.In A Song of Ice and Fire, great emphasis is put on the martial prowess of many characters, especially about swordsmanship and other melee weapons. She speaks the common tongue and translates for passengers. Kojja Mo, Quhuru's daughter and captain of the Cinnamon Wind's archers.Marwyn chartered the ship to take him to Meereen. After sailing the Jade Sea, the Cinnamon Wind stopped at Braavos and transported Samwell Tarly and Gilly to Oldtown. He bore word of Robert Baratheon's death to Daenerys Targaryen. Quhuru Mo, captain of the Cinnamon Wind.Robert was amused by the idea but lacked the resources needed to undertake such an invasion. He has petitioned King Robert Baratheon several times for military assistance in retaking his homeland. Jalabhar Xho, an exiled Summer Islander prince resident in King's Landing.Chataya, a brothel-owner in King's Landing.Their recent history has been mostly devoted to trading and merchant activity, with one notable civil war that saw Prince Jalabhar Xho of the Red Flower Vale deposed and forced to flee to Westeros. It is not clear if they were ever conquered by Valyria or suffered in the Doom. The long-term history of the Summer Islands is not known. The sailing reputation of the Summer Islanders means that their ships are often chartered by those seeking to make long journeys in the fastest times possible. It is unclear if goldenheart wood is traded with other lands. The wood of the goldenheart is strong, durable and flexible, and gives the Summer Islander bows their superior qualities.

The Summer Islands are source of several noted wines and a type of tree called the goldenheart. Their archers are adept at preventing from pirate ships from closing to board. They are superior bowmen, whose tall longbows outrange the bows of most other lands. They are great seamen, whose exotically-designed ships can be found in ports from Oldtown to Asshai. Summer Islanders are dark-skinned and tend to wear colorful clothes and outfits, even their warriors. Last Lament, at the north-western tip of the Summer Islands, is located approximately 750 miles south of Sunspear in Dorne. How much further south they may extend is unknown. The mapped part of the Summer Islands extends for almost a thousand miles from north to south and some nine hundred miles east to west. Jhala is the largest of the three islands and includes two notable, settled valleys: the Sweet Lotus Vale which runs from north to south to Ebonhead and the sea, and the Red Flower Vale which runs east to west along the island's axis. Towns of the Summer Islands include Last Lament at the north-western tip of Walano and Tall Trees Town near the island's south-eastern tip. Jhala contains the only other settlement large enough to be called a city, Ebonhead. Walano contains the capital city of the Summer Islands, Lotus Port. The Smiling Sea divides Walano and Omboru, and the Indigo Straits divide Omboru from Jhala. Smaller islands include Stone Head, Koj, the Isle of Birds, Singing Stones, Three Exiles, Moluu, the Isle of Love, the Isle of Women, Xon, Doquu and the Bones. The three large islands are called Walano, Omboru and Jhala.

How far south the archipelago extends is unknown, as maps usually only show the northernmost part of the chain. There are at least three large and numerous small islands in the group.
