What now remains of the once-proud empire of Old Ghis is a paltry thing—a few cities clinging like sores to Slaver's Bay and another that pretends to be Old Ghis come again.

Ours is the blood of ancient Ghis, whose empire was old when Valyria was yet a squalling child.

The Ghiscari Empire, posthumously known as the Old Empire of Ghis, are minor characters in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. It was a vast empire in Essos during ancient times and one of the oldest known civilizations and cultures in human history. The Old Empire originated in Ghiscar, a region of southern Essos, and reigned supreme over much of the continent. It also had colonies in neighboring lands and northern Sothoryos. Today, the empire remains historically known as an economic and military powerhouse with a very rich culture.

The Old Empire's emblem was the Harpy, which originated from Old Ghis. The current Ghiscari culture of Slaver's Bay and New Ghis is the legacy of the vanished Old Empire. The Slaver Cities became a wealthy hub and center of the global slave trade. The Harpy still remains the main symbol of the Ghiscari.

Religion[]

The Old Empire of Ghis followed a polytheistic religion, with temples and altars to honor their gods. Like the faith of R'hllor and the gods of the Summer Islands, the Ghiscari religion promotes sexual activity and offers pleasure from religious women to the believers.

Although most of the Ghiscari gods have been forgotten, the current Ghiscari of the Slaver Cities still worship the gods of Ghis, with Graces as their priestesses. The Temples of the Graces are their houses and places of worship. The Green Grace is the topmost religious figure in Ghiscari city. The Blue Graces are healers, and there are the Pink Graces, whose speciality has not yet been revealed. The Red Graces are cult prostitutes, utterly unlike the Westerosi septas. The White Graces are young little girls of noble birth, considered too young for the pleasure palaces.

The Ghiscari consider the blood spilled in the fighting pits a sacrifice most pleasing to their gods. Their dead are buried in crypts below their own manses.

In the culture of the Slaver Cities, when a Master dies, all his closest and personal slaves are killed shortly afterwards, as it is believed they will join him in the afterlife to continue serving him. It is unknown if this is a custom of the "modern" mongrel Ghiscari or something that dates back to the Old Empire of Ghis.

Ghiscar[]

Old Ghis, the capital of the Empire, was founded in Ghiscar, a region of southern Essos located on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Grief. North of the Ghiscari hills are Astapor and the Worm River, while south of Ghiscar are the Ghiscari Strait and some islands, including the large island of Ghaen and a small island with the city of New Ghis. The founding and golden age of Old Ghis predates that of its successor, Valyria, by thousands of years.

The Ghiscari[]

Ghiscari people have dense, dark amber skin and wiry hair with red highlights. The modern Ghiscari are mongrels of a dozen races and peoples driven together by the empire and its fall. Now Ghiscari people are also white, like the noblewoman, slave trader, and innkeeper Zahrina, who has skin white "like a maggot or mare's milk".

Modern Ghiscari are spread over a large area around Slaver's Bay, west of the Gulf of Grief, and the island of New Ghis. Highborn men of the Slaver Cities are known to wear their hairs teased, oiled, and twisted into fantastic shapes, such as horns and wings. They wear tunics and colorful cloaks, and skirts and sandals below their waist. The richest classes, who are primarily made up of slavers, wear the tokar. Tokars have different styles and countless types of colors. As the current Queen of Meereen, Queen Daenerys Targaryen also wears tokars. Ghiscari love rich foods, and they also eat dogs, octopus stew, and duck eggs.

Language[]

The language of the Old Empire of Ghis is now known as Old Ghiscari. It is guttural-sounding, with "zzzs" rolled in it. The language is described by Tyrion Lannister as harsh and ugly, with "a bee up your nose" to speak it properly. Victarion Greyjoy describes it as full of growls and hisses. Its writing uses glyphs.

As a result of the conquest of the Valyrians, Old Ghiscari has largely been replaced with High Valyrian. Most modern Ghiscari speak bastard dialects of High Valyrian along Slaver's Bay, twisted by growling accents and peppered with slaver's argot. The primary language of the Slaver Cities is known as Bastard Valyrian, which is High Valyrian corrupted and flavored with Ghiscari. A mongrel Ghiscari tongue, a blend of Old Ghiscari and High Valyrian, is also spoken along Slaver's Bay, which Tyrion finds uncomprehensible. However, modern Ghiscari continue to write with their unique glyphs. Also, some words of the old pure tongue are still in use and are part of the dialect, such as Mhysa, which means "Mother".

Maester Kedry is fluent in the mongrel Ghiscari, and the bearded woman of the Wise Master Yezzan zo Qaggaz's grotesquerie speaks in a mongrel Ghiscari. Known characters who can speak Ghiscari are King Hizdahr zo Loraq, the Wise Master Yurkhaz zo Yunzak, and the Meereenese noble Skahaz mo Kandaq. Daenerys is also learning Ghiscari.

Government[]

Nothing is known of the ruling structure of the Old Empire of Ghis. Five thousand years after the empire's fall, King Hizdahr zo Loraq's list of titles includes those of "Scion of Old Ghis" and "Octarch of the Old Empire." It is unknown if Hizdahr's titles have any basis in the Old Empire's practices, however. If they do, the empire was then possibly ruled by an oligarchy of eight noblemen, known as the Octarchs, or that the empire had eight regional governors underneath an emperor, or that octarch was a military title or rank.

Ghiscari Legions[]

Ghiscari legions are highly disciplined and formidable military units of free men from Ghiscar, known to have a very disciplined march and indomitable will. Over five thousand years ago, the lockstep legions were used by the Old Empire of Ghis, while the modern island city of New Ghis now uses iron legions. According to Ghiscari histories, the lockstep legions were established by Grazdan the Great, the legendary founder of Ghis. The legionaries were all free men armed with three spears and a shield, with lockstep marching, military discipline, and absolute obedience. It is said that the legions were nearly unbeatable on the battlefield, and their dedication allowed the Old Empire to conquer neighboring nations and colonize them.

The Good Masters of Astapor claim that their eunuch slave soldiers, the Unsullied, are comparable to the lockstep legions from the past. The modern iron legions of New Ghis utilize shield walls and are led by serjeants; they are trained and armed in the same manner as the eunuch Unsullied of Astapor, but the latters know no other life, whereas the Ghiscari are free citizens who serve for three-year terms.

Biography[]

Rise and dominion[]

The Old Empire of Ghis rose from the ancient city of Old Ghis in Ghiscar, founded by Grazdan the Great. The lockstep legions also originated from Old Ghis and were entirely made of free soldiers, reputed to have been nearly unbeatable on the battlefield. The Ghiscari always used slave labor to build their civilization, and their architecture included massive brick towers and huge pyramids. The Old Empire used bronze weapons made with copper that were found in abudance in the Ghiscari hills.

The Old Empire of Ghis is said to be the first great civilization in the known world, although YiTish scholars claim the legendary Great Empire of the Dawn in the further east was the oldest one. Written records confirm their empire was already in its earliest stages before the Long Night began, roughly 8,000 years ago. Other civilizations existed in Essos during the Dawn Age, such as the Realm of the Fisher Queens and the forebears of the Kingdom of Sarnor, but they kept no written records. Yi Ti and Asshai also claim that their civilizations date back to before the Long Night, but their written records do not extend far enough to confirm such claims.

Old Ghis used to colonize nearby lands, conquering neighboring nations, enslaving their peoples, and holding a large portion of the continent of Essos. The Ghiscari would eventually expand south to the continent of Sothoryos and the Basilisk Isles, building Gorosh as a penal colony at Wyvern Point, Zamettar at the mouth of the Zamoyos, and Gorgai on the Isle of Tears.

The Ghiscari Empire was a military, economic, and cultural powerhouse. Its symbol was the harpy, a fanged woman with leathery wings for arms, the legs of an eagle, and the tail of a scorpion, clutching a thunderbolt in her talons.

Ghiscari Wars[]

The empire predated the rising new power of the Valyrian Freehold, as the Ghiscari wanted to have dragons of their own. Thus started the long period of the Ghiscari Wars, a series of five wars fought between the Old Empire of Ghis and the Valyrian Freehold, in which the lockstep legions of Ghis faced the dragons of the dragonlords of Old Valyria. The Tall Men of the Kingdom of Sarnor participated in three of the conflicts. The Ghiscari lost all the wars, though they did win some battles. As these wars took place at the dawn of recorded history, they have become almost the subject of legends, and details can be confused and mixed between the five conflicts. Also, additional details and contraditions were added, as well as biased and false histories written by the Valyrian victors, fabricating greater deeds against the Ghiscari.

When the Valyrian Freehold began to expand into the rest of Essos, they inevitably came into conflict and rivalry with the Old Empire of Ghis for dominance over the continent. The First Ghiscari War occurred after the Long Night and the initial rise of Valyria to power. In the Second Ghiscari War, the Valyrians obtained an alliance with the Kingdom of Sarnor, a collection of lands ruled by independent city-states in the western plains of central Essos, stretching across the plains on the northern side of the Painted Mountains. The Valyrians and the Sarnori defeated the mighty Ghiscari legions once more. In the Third Ghiscari War, the Valyrians and the Sarnori again fought as allies against the Ghiscari, this time the fighting spreading to the Ghiscari colonies across the Summer Sea, in the Basilisk Isles and Sothoryos. Gorgai, a colony on the Isle of Tears, the largest of the Basilisk Isles, stood for some two to four centuries (the actual dating is unknown and under dispute), but the Valyrian dragonlords eventually captured the city and renamed it Gogossos. In the Fourth Ghiscari War, the Sarnori kings fought on the sides of both Ghiscari and Valyrians due to different rivalries. In this war, the Ghiscari lost the colony of Zamettar, the only major city on the coast of Sothoryos, to the Valyrians.

The Fifth Ghiscari War is noted to haven taken place around 4700 BC. Most of the Ghiscari legions were burned alive by the Valyrians' dragons, crippling the military. After losing this conflict as well, the Ghiscari Empire suffered a crushing defeat, and the Valyrian army marched straight on to Old Ghis and sacked the city. Soon after, dragonlords and dragonriders were brought in to destroy the entire city in order to ensure there would be no sixth war. They completely massacred and destroyed Old Ghis, razing the city's ancient brick walls erected by Grazdan the Great. Using dragonflame, the Dragonlords committed genocide and populicide, burning the city to ashes, and the Ghiscari pyramids, temples, and homes were razed, including the Great Pyramid of Ghis. The Valyrians sowed the fields with salt, lime, sulfur, and skulls so that nothing would grow again. Countless Ghiscari were killed, and countless others were enslaved and subsequently died laboring for their Valyrian oppressors. The old domains of Ghis were incorporated into the Valyrian Freehold, and the Ghiscari were culturally assimilated into the empire, becoming High Valyrian-speaking slaves and freedmen.

With the Ghiscari capital destroyed and the rulers dead, the empire was destabilized. It eventually collapsed and was conquered by the Valyrian Freehold. The surviving Ghiscari cities were reduced to colonies of Valyria, and the original Ghiscari became slaves. As a result, most of the Ghiscari culture and religion went extinct, and the language of Old Ghis survived only in words that entered the High Valyrian spoken in cities such as Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen, which are now the Slaver Cities. The Valyrians adopted the slaver customs of the Ghiscari and applied them to other conquered lands.

Century of Blood[]

The Ghiscari lived as slaves and freedmen of the Valyrian Freehold for centuries, until the Doom of Valyria, in which the Valyrian peninsula was destroyed, shattered into multiple islands, and formed the Smoking Sea.

Two cities on the Isle of Cedars in Slaver's Bay, Ghozai and Velos, vanished in a heartbeat during the Doom of Valyria. According to the writings, on the day of the catastrophe, a wall of water 300 feet high descended on Ghozai and Velos, drowning hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children. None was left to tell the tale but some fisherfolk who had been at sea and a handful of Velosi spearmen posted in a stout stone tower on the island's highest hill, where the sea could not reach them, and the men had seen the hills and valleys beneath them turn into a raging sea. Everything in those two cities was wiped out, from the ancient brick walls and stepped pyramids of the slaver port of Ghozai to the places of cedar and pink marble in Fair Velos. The broken and ruined pyramids of Ghozai are currently infested with monkeys.

After the Doom, the rest of the Valyrian Freehold was destabilized entirely, without its native lands. All the previously conquered Essosi regions of the Freehold liberated themselves and killed the surviving Dragonlords and dragons. The Slaver Cities of Slaver's Bay and New Ghis overthrew their Valyrian overlords, reestablished control of the slave trade, and enslaved most of the Valyrian citizens.

Throughout the Century of Blood, the Dothraki of the Great Grass Sea sacked and destroyed northern Ghiscari colonies, whose ruins are now called Krazaaj Has, Vaes Efe, and Vaes Mejhah.

Legacy[]

The Old Ghiscari language, culture, and gods were largely forgotten over time, and the Ghiscari adopted the language of their Valyrian conquerors. Today, most speak Bastard Valyrian, a corrupt form of High Valyrian made of different dialects that also contains Ghiscari words. In Ghiscar, Slaver's Bay, and other parts of Essos, the crumbling walls, ruins, stepped pyramids, and harpy statues are all that remain of the Old Empire's glory days. The island city of New Ghis claims to be Old Ghis coming again and wishes to recreate the long-lost Old Empire.

While the original pure Ghiscari bloodline was nearly wiped out, along with its religion, culture, and language, some original Ghiscari customs remain, as the colonies of Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen rose to prominence centuries after the fall of the empire, with their ruling elites styling themselves "Masters" and growing rich and powerful by buying, breeding, training, and trading slaves across the eastern continent. After the Doom of Valyria, the Ghiscari spread over Slaver's Bay, even founding the city of New Ghis, which seeks to rebuild the Old Empire under their leadership.

The tactics and customs of the Unsullied are considered a remnant of Old Ghis. They are trained to fight in the same disciplined lock-step manner and are considered by Kraznys mo Nakloz and others to be the legions of Old Ghis come again, only that they are slaves instead of free men. The free iron legions of New Ghis are also inspired by the lockstep legions of old. The harpy of Ghis was adopted as a symbol by all the city-states of Slaver's Bay, and their silver coins are stamped with a harpy. The Good Masters of Astapor, the Wise Masters of Yunkai, and the Great Masters of Meereen are the noble rulers of the Slaver Cities and are experts in the training and control of slaves for generations, just as the Old Empire did. Astapor, the Red City, is the southernmost of the Slaver Cities and best renowned for their training of the Unsullied, eunuch slave soldiers. Yunkai, the Yellow City, is located on the eastern coast of Slaver's Bay and mainly specializes in the export of bed slaves, who are trained in the way of the seven sighs. Yunkai is known as the most corrupted Slaver City, is said to be a disreputable place, and is referred to as the queen of cities, a title also claimed by Qarth. Meereen is the northernmost, largest, and most formidable of the three great Slaver Cities, with high walls made of bricks of many different colors, and its hinterlands confine Lhazar.

The known Astapori noble families are the Houses of Nakloz and Ullhor. Known Meereenese ones are the Houses of Dhazak, Galare, Ghazeen, Hazkar, Kandaq, Loraq, Merreq, Naqqan, Pahl, Quazzar, Reznak, Rhazdar, Uhlez, Yherizan, Zhak, and more recently, Targaryen, the current ruling family. Known Yunkish noble families are the Houses of Ahlaq, Eraz, Faez, Myraq, Qaggaz, Rhaezn, Yunzak, and Zherzyn.

The ruins of Old Ghis are still present in Ghiscar. Lomas Longstrider once visited the gigantic ruins of the Great Pyramid of Ghis, and Lord Dalton Greyjoy sailed to Old Ghis by the age of fourteen. The Great Pyramid of Meereen was constructed after that of Ghis.
