The Seastone Chair is now located on a dais in the Great Hall of the Great Keep of Pyke, the seat of Lord Balon Greyjoy. It is unknown if extinct iron king dynasties, such as the Greyirons or Hoares, used the Seastone Chair as their throne. House Greyjoy of Pyke has ruled the Iron Islands since Aegon’s Conquest. Noting similarities between the Seastone Chair and the base of the Hightower, Maester Theron suggested in Strange Stone that they were the work of so-called Deep Ones. Archmaester Haereg pondered that the chair was created by a people who inhabited the isles before the First Men, and Maester Kirth speculated in Songs the Drowned Men Sing that the chair was left by a people from across the Sunset Sea. Legend says it was found on the shores of Old Wyk by First Men when they came to the Iron Islands. The Seastone Chair is made of a block of oily black stone carved into the shape of a kraken.

In his reign, the rulers of Great Wyk, Old Wyk, Pyke, Harlaw and the lesser isles were reduced to lords, while several ancient lines that refused to bend the knee were extinguished. Urron had the crown of the king be made of black iron instead of driftwood, and ruled for twenty-two years. Nevertheless, Urron put an end to the institution of kingsmoot when he descended with his axemen on Nagga’s hill on Old Wyk, and slew all captains, the thirteen salt and rock kings, and half a hundred priests and prophets assembled for the choosing, taking the title of the High Kingship of the Isles and making it an hereditary one. ![]() It was the dying Urragon’s wish for Urron to succeed him, but the Drowned Men were determined not to lose the power of kingmaking for a third time after Urragon’s assumption of the throne and, before that, Torgon Greyiron’s usurpation from Urrathon IV Goodbrother. Urron was the salt king of Orkmont during the rule of his great-uncle, Urragon IV Greyiron, who had assumed the High Kingship of the Iron Islands without being chosen in a kingsmoot.
