the eyrie is the principal stronghold of house arryn. it is located in the vale of arryn near the east coast of westeros. the eyrie straddles the top of a peak in the mountains of the moon several thousand feet above the valley floor below. it is approached by a narrow causeway and road. those who would approach the eyrie must pass through three way-castles guarding the ascent - and then, must proceed in single file, making them very vulnerable to archers. for these reasons, the eyrie is considered impregnable to any attack that does not involve dragons, and its defenses have never been overcome.
