| rdfs:comment | - The Narrow Sea is a strip of water that divides Araluen from Gallica. Before the treaty with Araluen was made, Skandian wolfships had to cross this sea to raid Araluen and southern lands. In book two, when Will and Evanlyn were kidnapped, Erak's wolfship, Wolfwind, had to sail through the Narrow Sea in order to get to Skandia.
- The Narrow Sea runs from roughly just east of the Vale to just north-east of Dorne. In the north it opens out into the circumpolar ocean known as the Shivering Sea (which separates Essos from the northern icecap), while in the south it is divided from the larger Summer Sea by the island-chain known as the Stepstones. The Stepstone island chain is itself the remnant of a land bridge known as the Arm of Dorne that once crossed the Narrow Sea and linked Westeros with Essos, but which was destroyed 12,000 years ago. The Westerosi cities of White Harbor, Gulltown, and King's Landing lie on its western shores, and the Free Cities of Braavos, Pentos, Tyrosh, and Myr lie on its eastern shores.
- The Narrow Sea is the body of water lying to the east of Westeros. It separates Westeros from the continent of Essos to the east, and runs from roughly east of White Harbour (where it empties into the Shivering Sea) to the Stepstones, which separate it from the Summer Sea. The Sea of Dorne, Shipbreaker Bay and Blackwater Bay are all inlets of the Narrow Sea. Braavos is the largest port on the sea.

- The Narrow Sea is the body of water lying to the east of Westeros. It separates Westeros from the continent of Essos to the east, and runs from roughly east of White Harbour (where it empties into the Shivering Sea) to the Stepstones, which separate it from the Summer Sea. The Narrow Sea is so-called because the amount of water separating the two continents is relatively constrained. Merchantmen and traders from Westeros, the Free Cities and Ibben, as well as points further east, criss-cross the sea, calling at ports such as King's Landing, Gulltown, Braavos and Pentos. Trade in the Narrow Sea is sometimes disrupted by warfare, most notably the near-constant feuds between Myr and Lys over the Stepstones and Disputed Lands. These skirmishes often involve the use of naval warfare. The Sea of Dorne, Shipbreaker Bay and Blackwater Bay are all inlets of the Narrow Sea. Braavos is the largest port on the sea.
