He also calls for all the Ironborn women to weave sails for the ships. Finally, he also vows to kill his niece and nephew. Yara, Theon, and their supporters taking a portion of the Iron Fleet to Essos.

Yara plans to sail to Meereen and forge an alliance with Daenerys before their uncle can arrive. On the way, they stop over for rest and relaxation at the Free City of Volantis. Yara and several ironborn crew fraternize with prostitutes. Despite Tyrion's dislike of Theon, Yara convinces Daenerys to accept their ships as opposed to Euron's, noting that Euron's offer is one of marriage.

Yara requests that the Iron Islands be independent once again, and Daenerys agrees to help them retake their homeland if they fight for her claim to the Iron Throne. He meets with Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister. Since they share common enemies, Euron proposes forming an alliance to kill their estranged relatives, who have allied themselves with Queen Daenerys Targaryen.

Cersei accepts Euron's alliance offer but is reluctant to marry him until he has proven his reliability. Jaime is reluctant to accept any alliance with the ironborn, describing them to Cersei as "bitter, angry little people" and dismissing her assumption that being good at shipbuilidng and killing qualifies them as useful allies.

However, Euron's Iron Fleet ambushes them in the high seas. Many of Yara's warriors are slaughtered during the battle and her fleet is destroyed. Euron takes Yara captive but Theon manages to escape by jumping into the sea. Theon is rescued by an Ironborn ship loyal to Yara. Meanwhile, Euron leads a victory parade in King's Landing with his niece Yara as a prisoner.

Queen Cersei appoints Euron the commander of her naval forces while Yara is taken into custody. Like the Northmen, the ironborn are descendants of the First Men , but while their mainland cousins adopted the Old Gods of the Children of the Forest , the ironborn worship a deity known as the Drowned God. The Drowned God is said to have created the ironborn to reave and raid and carve out their names in blood and song. The traditional ironborn way of life, known as the Old Way , is centered on piracy and raiding.

An ironborn is considered a man only when he has killed his first foe, while his personal wealth is expected to be obtained by "paying the iron price " - that is, seizing it from enemies he has personally killed.

An ironborn is also expected to abstain from working the land or toiling in the mines, since such tasks are reserved for thralls - men captured in raids and forced into servitude. Lord Balon Greyjoy rules the Islands. His only surviving son and heir is Theon Greyjoy who was formerly a ward and hostage of Lord Eddard Stark at Winterfell.

Yara Greyjoy is a prominent ship captain, and she openly engages in sex with either men or women - none of her followers seem to find this unusual, but it is unclear how typical this is see main article " Gender and sexuality ". George R. Martin has frequently compared the ironborn to Vikings from the real-life Middle Ages. Given the analogy that the entire continent of Westeros is supposed to be an oversized version of the British Isles, the ironborn also loosely correspond to Celtic raiders from medieval Ireland, as well as raiders from other outer islands in the group the Isle of Man, the Orkneys, the Shetlands, etc.

Of course, at various points in history, the Vikings established permanent raiding bases in Ireland and the outer isles, so often these raids were from Vikings who lived in Ireland. In the books, the ironborn are also called "ironmen" interchangeably, but never "iron islanders". It is forbidden for ironborn to kill other ironborn in such manner than spills blood; killing without spilling blood, like by drowning, is tolerable.

Kinslaying, with or without spilling blood is forbidden: Euron, who murdered Balon and two more of his brothers, never admitted any of those killings in public in the show he does admit openly killing Balon. As a part of the Old Way, there are no slaves in the Iron Islands, only thralls. It is not semantics: a thrall is bound to service, but he is not a chattel. His children are born free, so long as they are given to the Drowned God. Thralls are never bought nor sold for gold.

A man pays the iron price for thralls, or else has none. Soon after Euron is crowned, he issues a royal decree which allows to sell captives as slaves, thus violating the Old Way.

As a part of the Old Way, ironborn prefer hand-to-hand combat, using swords or axes; only on rare occasions harrying of the Stony Shore they shoot arrows at their opponents.

They do not besiege castles in order to starve their enemies out, nor do they use any siege machines, because in their eyes there is no glory in such fighting methods. Illiteracy is common among the ironborn, perhaps because they believe physical force is enough to obtain what they want, and do not bother to produce anything of their own, as the motto of House Greyjoy implies. When Theon arrives at Moat Cailin, he urges the ironborn to read the message from Ramsay, although he is almost certain that none of them can read.

Rodrik Harlaw Balon's brother-in-law is known as "the Reader" for his passion for books, which is regarded by most ironborn as somewhat strange, as they consider reading to be an unmanly habit though Rodrik is actually a strong warrior, he just thinks history books are interesting. The Iron Islands are too sparse and rocky for breeding good horses.

Most of the ironborn are indifferent riders at best, more comfortable on the deck of a longship than in the saddle. Even the lords ride garrons or shaggy Harlaw ponies, and ox carts are more common than drays. The smallfolk who are too poor to own either one, pull their own plows through the thin, stony soil.

The ironborn prefer to fight from decks of ships. At battles which take place on the mainland, the ironborn mostly fight as an infantry; since they lack the discipline to stand a charge of an armored horse, they may find themselves at a disadvantage if their opponents are cavalrymen.
