Slaver Cities
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Slaver Cities is a generic term used for the cities of Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen, located around Slaver's Bay on the continent of Essos. Drawing on the culture of the Ghiscari Empire, the Slaver Cities have been ruled by aristocrats that call themselves "Masters". Their wealth derives from engaging in slavery.[1] They are distinct from the Free Cities located to the west, which are either former Valyrian colonies or colonies formed by Valyrian refugees.
