The Fisher Queens were legendary rulers from the grasslands of central Essos.
History
The Fisher Queens are said to have ruled the lands adjoining the Silver Sea.[1] They may have been contemporaneous with the Great Empire of the Dawn of the YiTish civilization.[2]
The Fisher Queens ruled from a floating palace that made its way endlessly around its shores. Kings, lords, and wise men sought the palace for the Fisher Queens' counsel, for they were considered wise, benevolent, and favored of the gods. The last of the Fisher Queens gave birth to Huzhor Amai, who would become the ancestor of the Tall Men.[1]
The realms of the Fisher Queens are one of the first civilizations of which there is any sort of record, even though these records are only legends transmitted through oral tradition, as their supposed existence predates written word.[1] Because of diminishing rainfall, only three great lakes in what is now the northern Dothraki sea remain from what was once the Silver Sea.[1]
Quotes
