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
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]
