Chapter 119

The Tiger Cloaks were regarded as the absolute elite across all Valyria, or they could never have maintained the prestige of being the “First Daughter of Valyria,” mistress of the Summer Sea, and one of the most powerful of the Free Cities, on par with Braavos.

After the Doom of Valyria, the Tigers dispatched a vast fleet to conquer Lys, while another fearless land army captured Myr. For more than a century afterward, all three cities lay under the rule of the Black Walls.

But all of that ended when the Tigers attempted to annex Tyrosh. The Archon of Pentos and the Storm King of Westeros joined forces with Tyrosh in the war, while Braavos provided over a hundred warships to a Lysene exile fleet. Myrmen and Lyseni alike seized the chance to rise in rebellion and expel the invaders.
