In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Skagos is nominally part of the North and is ruled by House Stark of Winterfell. However, in practice Skagos is located so far away from the centers of civilization that its inhabitants are virtually ignored and allowed to pursue their own customs and practices. According to myth, unicorns live on Skagos. There is a small kernel of truth to this, but the "Skagosi Unicorn" is essentially just an enormous one-horned species of goat. The island is mountainous, with treacherous currents surrounding it. Skagos is also home to three noble houses:

  • Skagos is a large island in the Bay of Seals, with the Shivering Sea washing against its northern and eastern shores. The currents around the water are treacherous, and the great autumn storms often cut off the island from the mainland, and make the journey from the north-east coast of Westeros to the Free Cities extremely hazardous. Skagos is a remote and harsh land dominated by hills and mountains, where the people are savage, little more than tribes of raiders who are thought to be cannibals. They either live in caves or grim, remote strongholds. In theory they owe fealty to the Stark in Winterfell, but they are mostly left to their own devices, unless they start causing trouble for other lands by raiding. Unicorns are reported to live on Skagos, but are normally considered a myth by outsiders. Adjacent to Skagos is Skane, an island where all the inhabitants were reportedly slaughtered and than eaten by the Skagans.

  • In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Skagos is nominally part of the North and is ruled by House Stark of Winterfell. However, in practice Skagos is located so far away from the centers of civilization that its inhabitants are virtually ignored and allowed to pursue their own customs and practices. According to myth, unicorns live on Skagos. There is a small kernel of truth to this, but the "Skagosi Unicorn" is essentially just an enormous one-horned species of goat. The island is mountainous, with treacherous currents surrounding it. The people of Skagos are descendants of the First Men, who refer to themselves as Skagosi ("stoneborn" in the Old Tongue), although outsiders refer to them as "Skagossons" or, derisively, "Skaggs". Many centuries ago they sailed to Skane and depopulated the island, killing all of the men and taking the women back to Skagos as captives. Rumors by mainlanders say that the Skagosi are savage cannibals, who ate the people of Skane. They later fell under the authority of the King in the North, and then the Iron Throne. One century ago, the Skagosi rebelled and were defeated in a brief, bloody war that cost the life of the then-Lord of Winterfell and hundreds of his men. Nevertheless some Skagosi do business with the Night's Watch . They are also said to still enforce the tradition of "First Night". In "A Dance with Dragons", it is revealed that Osha, Rickon and Shaggydog went to Skagos. It is unknown if they are still alive. Lord Wyman Manderly tasks Ser Davos Seaworth to retrieve him from the island, in exchange for his providing support to King Stannis Baratheon. Skagos is also home to three noble houses: * House Magnar of Kinghouse * House Crowl of Deepdown * House Stane of Driftwood Hall
