エッソス大陸自由都市それぞれの特徴をHBOの事前動画で学習｜クォホール、ノーヴォス、ロラース

Now Volantis is the ember of old Valyria, ensuring its flame does not go out from this world as any Volanteen will tell you and Pentoshi say the same about Pentos Lyseens about Lys and so on. But after enough time in the nine free cities. It’s hard to see them as anything but ashes of glory.

Volantis is the oldest, the first colony of Valyria. After the “doom” the Volanteens tried to rebuild the empire under their rule. They failed. Not least because the last Valyrian with dragons, Aegon Targaryen entered the war against them. Now they are content to dominate only their lower classes, or so they say

Braavos is the strangest. A city erected not by the freehold but against it. A labyrinth of illusion and deciet to hide the refugees from Valyria slave laws. After the “doom” the city emerged from the shadows to become one of the greatest banking centers in the world. A man can get anything in Braavos for a price, espeacially death. Your own if you offend one of the swaggering swordmen that pollute the city, or if you’re very rich or very desperate, anyone else’s.

Lys is the easiest of the free cities full of pleasure houses catering to every taste, no matter how peculiar. Many men lose themselves in lyseen are never found at least alive. When a man runs out of coin, the lyseens may grant him their other speciality on the house, poison.

Pentos is the most ruthless. The magisters make a great show of choosing the prince of Pentos from the great families and granting him the powers of trade justice and war, as long as he checks with them first. On the new year to bring good fortune to Pentos, this prince must deflower the maid of the field and the maid of the seas, I confess, I don’t know how each is chosen but what becomes of them after serving thier purpose, but if a crop should fail or a war be lost, the magisters will slit the princes throat and choose another.

The other free cities are known for what they make, Mya has its lenses and finery, Norvos its axis, Qohor its smith’s who can reforge valyrian steel, Tyrosh its colors, I’m sure lorath had something to the world but I can’t think of it.

Frankly the nine of them are more alike than they care to admit. They hire the same soldiers to fight the same wars for the same rulers the rich be they called magisters for archons or what have you. When a Dothraki khalasar approches, they gift the same tribute to avoid the same sacking.

For thousands of years, the disgraced of Westeros have drained east to pool in the free cities. Where a man of honor counts for less than nothing, unless it raises his price better men than I have learned that what a man sells for gold he can never buy back, he must earn it by far and blood.
