Gullet Bay is a maritime location mentioned in connection with Driftmark and the birth of Corlys Velaryon, later known as the Sea Snake. The text situates the birth near the Gullet, across Blackwater Bay, making the place a geographical marker for an event whose significance would extend beyond the immediate family.

Setting and Reference

The narrative locates the Gullet in relation to Blackwater Bay and Driftmark: while Queen Alysanne was carrying a child, another woman on Driftmark gave birth near the Gullet. It does not provide further details about the bay’s boundaries or describe the surrounding landscape.

Narrative Significance

Gullet Bay enters the account through a contrast between two births. The queen’s daughter, Daenerys, was born in the seventh moon of 53 AC and immediately delighted the realm, while the birth near the Gullet was less noticed at the time. That boy was named Corlys, after his great-great-uncle, and would later be known as the Sea Snake. The place thus anchors a quiet, initially overlooked birth that the narrative sets against a royal arrival and marks as consequential in the years to come.
