Konung is word in Skellige dialect refering to title "King of the Isles" while Rhena means "Queen". Originally these isles were inhabited by independent clans, but these later united to face the growing threat from barbarians as well as the rising powers of the Continent. Skellige then became monarchy and so king needed his official seat. For this purpose castle was built on small island northwest of Ard Skellig and south of Spikeroog, named Kaer Almhult. In practice, however, each ruler preferred to keep to his clan's seat, and Kaer majestic keep was left unused. Eventually the decision was made to turn it into a prison.
