Built above the river Slayne in the stormlands, Stonehelm holds the ground between the marches and the coast. Roads from Storm's End towards the Reach pass through its country.
House Swann holds it, marcher lords whose sigil sets a black swan and a white swan against each other, a fair emblem for a family that has often had to balance between crown, Dorne and neighbouring lords. Its knights serve in the Baratheon host.
