When you did your piece about the Knight orders of each kingdom (great piece indeed) you left out the North and the Iron Islands. Ok, i know they dont have knights, but just for the sake of worldbuilding, which kind of “warrior order” would you create for them? (btw just wanna say that the order of the castlewrights of the stormlands is very impressive thinking and i could see those guys being really the key for the stormlands warfare)

Glad you liked it!

I think the term “warrior order” wouldn’t really work for either kingdom. The North doesn’t go in for formal institutions – compare Robb’s companions to the Kingsguard with its elaborate oaths, uniforms, etc., or the Old Gods to the Faith of the Seven – so the North’s “sworn swords” are about as formal as it gets. 

Similarly, the closest the Ironborn get to specializing in that way is the Iron Fleet.
