Editing Lys (section)

===Foundation===
Lys was founded as a colony of the [[Valyrian Freehold]] on an island in the [[Summer Sea]], near the [[Broken Arm]] of [[Dorne]] and the [[Orange Shore]] of [[Essos]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Lys}}{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Valyria's Children}} Founded by wealthy merchants and nobles, Lys was mostly a trading colony.{{ref|TWOIAF|Ancient History: Valyria's Children}} Due to its climate, Lys soon became a resort destination of sorts for the [[dragonlord]]s of old [[Valyria]]. The sunny island is fertile with palm and fruit trees, and the surrounding blue-green waters are filled with fish.{{ref|TWOIAF|The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh}}
