<p>GoT red-link fill, book-canon (Corvus)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Bear Island&#039;&#039;&#039; is a remote, heavily forested island off the northwestern coast of the [[North]] in [[Westeros]], the seat of [[House Mormont]]. Hard and poor, it breeds a hardy people and is famed for the toughness of its women, who are said to wield axes in defense of their homes.<br /> <br /> == Geography and People ==<br /> Bear Island lies in the Bay of Ice, far from the centers of power, a cold place of pine and woods where folk live by fishing and a little farming. Its remoteness and history of raids from the [[Iron Islands]] and wildlings have made its people self-reliant and fierce. The women of Bear Island are renowned warriors, a necessity in a land so often raided while the men were away.<br /> <br /> == House Mormont ==<br /> The island is held by [[House Mormont]], a small but fiercely loyal vassal of [[House Stark]]. Its lord during the events of the series is Jeor Mormont, who left to become Lord Commander of the [[Night&#039;s Watch]], passing the island to his sister Maege. Jeor&#039;s son, Ser [[Jorah Mormont]], disgraced himself by selling poachers into slavery and fled into exile, later becoming a sworn companion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]].<br /> <br /> == Loyalty to the Starks ==<br /> The Mormonts of Bear Island are steadfast supporters of [[House Stark]]. The young Lyanna Mormont, in particular, becomes a memorable voice of fierce Northern loyalty. According to legend the island was given to House Mormont by King [[Rodrik Stark]], who won it from the ironborn in a wrestling match.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Game of Thrones]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
