Dragonstone (island)

Dragonstone is an island in Blackwater Bay in the crownlands. The island is located south of Crackclaw Point and Claw Isle, northeast of Driftmark, and north of the Gullet.

Geography
Dragonstone is a volcanic island at the mouth of Blackwater Bay, created by the active volcano, Dragonmont. Damp and dreary, it smells of sulfur and brimstone.

The castle of Dragonstone is a small fortress located on the face of the volcano. The nearby port contains inns, including a weathered little inn at the end of a stone pier. Farmers and fishermen live in villages below the Dragonmont.

Beneath Dragonmont are rich deposits of dragonglass. There is much obsidian seen in the old tunnels beneath the mountain, found in chunks and boulders. The greater part of it is black, but there is some green obsidian as well, some red, even purple.

Through the dalliances of many Targaryen lords and princes over the years, many of the smallfolk of the island are descendants of that dynasty and are known as dragonseeds
