This should be Sothoros. The only time it is mentioned, on page 257 of AFfC, it is labelled so. Where did the <y> come from? Lajaki 14:43, 8 September 2010 (CDT)

Yup you're right. Although I did not make the page myself I suspect that the scanned text of AFFC was used as a source. With character recognition you can capture the text and load it into word or excel. But character recognition is not perfect. Scafloc 16:38, 8 September 2010 (CDT)
Sothoryos actually turns out to have been used twice: in private correspondance with Martin, and in the map of AFfC. So, it's actually an error. I hold the text to be more canonical than correspondance or maps, however, so I believe that Sothoros should be upheld. Lajaki 15:39, 9 September 2010 (CDT)
Three textual references to Sothoryos in A Dance with Dragons:
Chapter 30: These ships are made of rope and pitch and canvas, of Qohorik pine and teak from Sothoryos, old oak from Great Norvos, yew and ash and spruce.
Chapter 56: Like as not, the girl would prove to be some pock-faced slattern with teats slapping against her knees, her "dragons" no more than tattooed lizards from the swamps of Sothoryos.
Chapter 57: The lord of suet was already dying from whatever hideous disease he had brought back from Sothoryos, it seemed to Tyrion.
