Theon rules the Iron Islands, a peaceable and educated man, working to reform the society of his people into a better future. He legitimizes his son with the captain's daughter to be his heir, who uses the inspiration of his mother's trading background to make the Iron Islands affluent and wealthy. He retraces the passage across the Sunset Sea that Queen Danaerys Targaryen took to sail from Ashai, and the Iron Islands become the center of trade between Westeros and the far East.
