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]
