Astapor is a city on Slaver's Bay. It is renown for the special slaves that it produces, called the Unsullied. Their emblem is a harpy; a woman's torso, wings of a bat instead of arms, legs of an eagle and a scorpion's tail. In its talons hangs a chain with open manacles at either end.[1]

History

Astapor was a Ghiscari colony that survived the destruction of Ghis at the hands of Valyria. It was conquered by the Valyrians. The Ghiscari tongue is largely forgotten now.[2]

Town

Plaza of Pride

The Plaza of Pride is an open market where the slavers take their customers to view their purchases. In the center of the plaza stands a red brick fountain with the a hammered bronze version of the Astapori harpy standing in its center.[3]
