Tolos

A slaver city on the Gulf of Grief, famed for its slingers.

The fuller tale

Tolos sits on the Gulf of Grief northwest of the bay proper, a modest slaving city with one immodest export: the slingers of Tolos are reckoned the finest in the world, whipping lead bullets farther and harder than most bows shoot, and free companies pay well for them. Perched between Valyria’s haunted hinterland and Slaver’s Bay’s wars, the city has made neutrality a craft — in the books it is among the powers Daenerys’s envoys court in the great diplomatic scramble around Meereen, polite to the dragon queen and to her enemies alike. Tolos survives the way small cities near large ruins learn to: by being useful to everyone and worth conquering to no one.

No death the chronicle records has come to this ground — or none the maesters have set down.
