Tyrosh is a Free City. Natives are called Tyroshi. The city is renown for its pear brandy.[1] The Archon of Tyrosh is a major political player within the city.[2]

Tyroshi are renown for being greedy.[3] They love bright colors, even coloring their hair brightly.[4] Their inventors are known for creating ornate helmets and ingenious torture devices. Their dialect is a corrupted form of Valyrian.[5]

History

The Band of Nine, a group of sellswords, pirates and merchants who had conquered the Disputed Lands, marched on Tyrosh and took it. They installed the wealthy merchant Alequo Adarys as a tyrant and then moved on. While the rest of the possessions of the Band of Nine were lost soon after the death of Maelys Blackfyre, Alequo managed to hold on for six more years before he too was removed from power.[6]
