New Ghis
City
Location island in the Gulf of Grief

New Ghis is a city on an island in the Gulf of Grief that borders on the Summer Sea. Its island lies to the south of Ghaen.[1] The ruins of Old Ghis lie to the north past the Ghiscari Strait in Ghiscar.

Army

New Ghis has an army devided in several iron legions, made up of free citizens who serve for three-years terms. They are armed and trained in the fashion of the Unsullied.[2][3] Though they look more formidable to the naked eye than the Yunkish slave soldiers, Tyrion Lannister expresses doubts about how formidable they truly are. The Ghiscari might be trained in the same fashion as the Unsullied, but the Unsullied know no other life than fighting, whereas the Ghiscari soldiers serve only in terms.[3]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

Arstan Whitebeard and Strong Belwas sail from Pentos to New Ghis and then on to Qarth.[4]

A Dance with Dragons

Hizdahr zo Loraq is said to wield some influence in New Ghis, a city which depends upon its slaves. The Yunkai'i successfully stir up enmity in New Ghis against Daenerys Targaryen and her rule in Meereen. Quentyn Martell is not surprised that New Ghis allies with Yunkai, as they are both Ghiscari cities. The legions of New Ghis fight beside Yunkai in the Siege of Astapor.

Three galleys from New Ghis join the Qartheen galleys in Meereen's bay. Four legions out of New Ghis have a hundred elephants, armored and towered.[5] To the naked eye the legions of New Ghis look more formidable than the Yunkish slave soldiers, but Tyrion Lannister privately nurses doubts about the legions from New Ghis. He thinks they may be armed and organized in the same manner as the Unsullied, but the eunuchs know no other life, whereas the Ghiscari are free citizens who serve for three year terms.
