Skellige



Skellige, or the Skellige Islands, is an archipelago and one of the Northern Kingdoms. The group of six islands is situated in the North Sea, off the coast of Cintra, and southwest of Cidaris and Verden. "Skelligers" or "Islanders" are human inhabitants of the Skellige Isles. Despite living in close proximity to their mainland counterparts, they have developed an entirely different culture than people of Northern Realms.

In the short-stories and earlier novels, the culture of Skellige's people bears quite a resemblance to ancient Irish culture. Since The Tower of the Swallow, their culture has adopted more Scandinavian elements, reflected in Season of Storms, and the video games.

The land on these five large isles is divided between its clans, the heads of which are called jarls.

The region holds:

It is also a home for 6 inkeepers, 9 blacksmiths, 4 armorers, 2 herbalists and 16 shopkeepers.
