Editing Ib (section)

==History==
It is said that [[giant]]s once lived on Ib.{{ref|twoiaf| Beyond the Free Cities: Ib}} There were once [[dragons]] on Ib, as dragon bones have been found on the island.{{Ref|twoiaf| Ancient History: The Rise of Valyria}}

One of the tribes living in [[Andalos]] before the [[Andals]] came are called the [[hairy men]]. [[Pentos]]hi histories claim them to have been kin to the Ibbenese from Ib, while others argue that the hairy men are the ancestors of the Ibbenese, and yet others that the hairy men came from Ib to Andalos.{{Ref|twoiaf| Ancient History: The Arrival of the Andals}} Some scholars further suggest that the raiders and slavers who attacked the [[White Knife]] in the [[north]] of [[Westeros]] before the [[Andal invasion|coming of the Andals]]  were the forebears of the men of Ib.{{Ref|twoiaf| The North: The Kings of Winter}} Predecessors of the men from Ib have been thought to have lived on [[Norvos]] before it became a Valyrian settlement,{{Ref|twoiaf| The Free Cities: Norvos}} while [[Lorath]] became a refuge for freedmen and escaped slaves from the Valyrian freehold, including men from Ib.{{Ref|twoiaf| The Free Cities: Lorath}}

Ib has been ruled by the [[Port of Ibben]] since the dawn of days, at first by Ibbenese kings, but following the defeat of the last king in the aftermath of the [[Doom of Valyria]] Ib, as well as the lesser isles, have been governed by the [[Shadow Council]].{{ref|twoiaf| Beyond the Free Cities: Ib}}

[[Saath]], the only city of the [[Kingdom of Sarnor]] which has outlived the [[Century of Blood]], survives today mostly due to the support it receives from Ib and Lorath.{{ref|twoiaf| Beyond the Free Cities: The Grasslands}}
