Editing Volantis (section)

===Rhoynish Wars===
Volantis grew powerful trading with Valyria and the Rhoynar, although the nearby Rhoynish city [[Sarhoy]] declined. This led to the lengthy [[Rhoynish Wars]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: Volantis}}

In the [[Second Spice War]], the last of these wars, Volantis and three Valyrian [[dragonlords]] destroyed Sarhoy and sowed the ruins with salt to prevent the Rhoynish city from rising again.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Ten Thousand Ships}} Prince [[Garin (prince)|Garin]] of [[Chroyane]] declared war and marched at the head of the biggest army Essos had seen. He won victories at [[Selhorys]], [[Valysar]], and [[Volon Therys]], where he faced a hundred thousand enemies, a hundred [[elephants]], and three dragonlords. After Volon Therys, the Volantenes behind the Black Walls asked the Freehold for help. The alliance between Volantis and the Freehold shattered Garin's host, and it is said the blood of the Rhoynar turned the great harbor of Volantis red as far as one could see.{{Ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Ten Thousand Ships}}
