==City==
===Location and Layout===
Walled Myr is on the fertile "heel" of [[Essos]], where an ancient [[Valyria]]n [[dragonroad]] on the mainland meets the [[Sea of Myrth]]. Temples and shrines for many gods can be found along the waterfronts and streets. [[R'hllor]] is worshiped at a [[red temple]] in Myr, for instance.{{ref|ASOS|43}} Myrish ships have sailed the [[narrow sea]] for hundreds of years.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}

===People===
Some [[maester]]s believe that Myrmen are descended from the [[Rhoynar]], as many of the Myrmen share their olive skin and dark hair, but this theory is disputed.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} Myrmen speak [[Myrish language|a dialect]]{{Ref|ADWD|14}} of [[bastard Valyrian]],{{Ref|AGOT|11}} and the [[Common Tongue]] when spoken with a Myrish accent can sound sultry.{{ref|AFFC|7}} The mercantile port's inhabitants have no established faith.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}

Myr is ruled by a conclave of [[magister]]s, chosen from amongst the most wealthy and noble men of the city.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} The magisters give lavishly to passing [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]s'' to prevent their ''[[khalasar]]s'' from sacking the city.{{Ref|ASOS|23}}

A [[slave]] city, Myr has three slaves for every freeborn. The slaves in Myr are collared and branded.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: Pentos}} There are those in the city who have [[Unsullied]] in their service.{{Ref|ASOS|8}}

The Myrmen fight often with [[Tyrosh]] and [[Lys]] over the [[Disputed Lands]], though they will not risk the lives of their citizens in this, preferring to hire [[mercenaries|free companies]] instead.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}} Myrmen often use stilettos{{Ref|ASOS|42}}{{Ref|ADWD|19}} and crossbows{{Ref|ACOK|25}}{{Ref|ASOS|16}}{{Ref|ASOS|39}} and [[bravo]]s can be found in Myr as well.{{Ref|AGOT|10}} Myrish [[pirate]]s often have nests in the [[Stepstones]].{{Ref|AFFC|29}}

"[[The Seasons of My Love]]" is a Myrish song.{{Ref|AGOT|42}}
