Editing Triarchy (section)

==Government==
The relatively short-lived union of Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh was amorphously defined, intended to be an "eternal alliance" between the former rivals. It was not quite a new political entity formed from these three constituents, but all three acting collectively. This alliance was governed by the [[High Council of the Triarchy]], a group of thirty-three [[magister]]s with eleven from each city.{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} 

This triple alliance was known by several names, all of which were actually inaccurate. Its official name was simply "the Triarchy", but this was inaccurate for two reasons: [[Volantis]] was already famously ruled by three [[Triarchs]] (so the union of the three cities was not the only Triarchy in the world), and in truth, no officials in this alliance held the title of "Triarch" like in Volantis. Men in Westeros took to calling it the "Kingdom of the Three Daughters", referring to the fact that the three Valyrian colony-cities were all considered to be "daughters of Valyria" - yet this was also inaccurate, because it was not a "kingdom" and had no "king".{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}}
