Ib

Ibben is a large island off the north coast of Essos, in the Shivering Sea. It is located several thousand miles east of Westeros.

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ibben is home to a hardy race of sailors. The Ibbenese principally trade in whale blubber and meat. The island's principal city is the Port of Ibben, located on its south coast. The northern part of the island is cold and sparsely-inhabited. Mammoths are said to exist on the island. The Ibbenese have also colonised several other nearby islands and even have some settlements on the remote north coast of Essos.

Ibbenese traders and sailors are found in the Free Cities and even King's Landing, despite the immense distance to their homeland. The Ibbenese use axes and round shields in battle.
