In the booksEdit

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels Stoney Sept refers to a sept and its surrounding town. The sept itself sits on a hill. Below it is a holdfast made of grey stone that seems undersized for the town that surrounds it. The heart of Stoney Sept is a market square with a fountain in the shape of a leaping trout. Stoney Sept isn't nearly big enough to be considered even a minor city, but it is a fairly large market town. Arya Stark is brought there after she encounters the Brotherhood Without Banners, and notes that it is the biggest town she's seen since she left King's Landing.

Stoney Sept was the site of one of the most important battles of Robert's Rebellion. Robert Baratheon, with the aid of Lords Eddard Stark, Jon Arryn and Hoster Tully defeated a royal army under the command of Lord Jon Connington, the Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen. Connington was disgraced by the defeat, stripped of his post and exiled to the Free Cities.
