The maid of the seas[1] or maid of the sea[2] is a title given to a young maiden of the Free City of Pentos. Every year a new maid of the seas is chosen.
About
[edit]On the first day of each new year, the Prince of Pentos deflowers the maid of the fields and the maid of the seas.[1][2] This ancient ritual, which may arise from the mysterious origins of pre-Valyrian Pentos, is meant to ensure the continued prosperity of Pentos on land and at sea.[2]
