Yunkai

Yunkai emblem

Yunkai is a city on the eastern coast of Slaver's Bay. To the west lies the island of Yaros. North of Yunkai is no-man's land. Its main export is slaves. Its main trade is in bed slaves. The city is made of yellow bricks, with crumbling walls and tall, stepped pyramids. Their emblem is a harpy; a woman's torso, wings of a bat instead of arms, legs of an eagle and a scorpion's tail. Its talons grasp a whip and an iron collar. They are ruled by slavers, called the Wise Masters. They speak a dialect of Valyrian.

Yunkai can field an army of roughly five thousand men, all slaves. When Daenerys Targaryen marched on the city, they supplemented this force with sellswords. A force of a hundred soldiers is commanded by the Girl General.

Slaves

In Yunkai, eunuchs are made by only cutting the testicles off. Yunkai is known for training bed slaves, not warriors. A slave in Yunkai learns the way of the seven sighs and the sixteen seats of pleasure.

There envoys travel to Volantis, Qarth and other free cities spreading false tales about Daenerys in order to gain support to cast her down. They declared war on Astapor in an effort to topple the regime that had come into power after Daenerys had sacked that city.
