purple-eyes Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I saw somewhere this name. And there is a mother house on it. Where is this maiden isle?Anybody knows? I can not find it in the map or wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wraith Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Not sure. The only two motherhouses I know of are in Oldtown and Bechester both of are in the Reach. Maiden Island seems likely for Oldtown considering its an island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Where whores go.that would make the name rather counter-intuitive. Most prostitutes are not "maidens" (I.e. Virgins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 that would make the name rather counter-intuitive. Most prostitutes are not "maidens" (I.e. Virgins)It's ironic, they're hipster prostitutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taenqyrhae Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Someone else with a time machine has read ASoIaF XIV - Voyage to Whore Island by R. A. Salvatore. It IS probably the best book since ASoIaF IX - Unicorn Riders of Skagos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clegane'sPup Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The Maiden Isle? Is that the place where all the old virgins live and dwell and dream of peace? A rather boring place.Nay, perchance it is the Misty Islands seat of House Fisher somewhere in the Riverlands whose location has not yet been published.I feel a song coming on, some where out there...

Karmarni Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So, seriously, where is Maiden Isle? It is used in the latest gift chapter released, Arianne II from TWoW. Wiki has nothing. This thread is the only mention on the forum, to date. I'm assuming that Maiden Isle is a place those in and around Cape Wrath would be familiar, so not too far afield. But still, it's intriguing that we have both a septry burned and a motherhouse raided for slaves. The Seven are being attacked and I'm interested. Weeping Town info: http://direct.westeros.org/index.php/Weeping_Town Quote from Arianne II: Quote In the Broken Shield, Daemon Sand was told that the great septry on the Holf of Men had been burned and looted by raiders from the sea, and a hundred young novices from the motherhouse on Maiden Isle carried off into slavery.

Jon Fossoway Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 With a single line on an advance chapter of an unpublished book, I'd say it's too early to point it out on the maps. I'm sure Winds will bring a lot of new locations into play. Just hold your horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantichore Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi, newbie here! Am I the only one perplexed by the mention of "the Holf of Men"? What's a holf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rise Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Judging by the chapter its likely somewhere at coast of stormlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ McLannister Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Euron chapter also includes an unmapped island. Maybe the maps will be updated when the book is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
