Vaes Aresak is a ruined city in northern Essos along the Shivering Sea. It is located in the great forest south of Ib which includes the Kingdoms of the Ifeqevron. East of Vaes Aresak is the Realm of Jhogwin.[1]

The ruined city was originally an Ibbenese colony[2] called Ibbish, but it is now known by its Dothraki name, Vaes Aresak, meaning City of Cowards.[3] The Ibbenese have since built a new city called New Ibbish to the northwest.[1]

Behind the scenes

Vaes Aresak has not been mentioned in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, only appearing in the map collection The Lands of Ice and Fire.
