In Fire & Blood, High Tide is made of the same pale stone used to build the Eyrie. It is connected to mainland Driftmark by a low causeway, hence the name. After concluding his extremely profitable nine voyages, Corlys Velaryon raised High Tide to replace Castle Driftmark, which was grim, damp, and often flooded. He moved both his family and the ancient Driftwood Throne to High Tide, making it the new seat of his House. A nearby fishing village later developed into Spicetown.
