Chapter 64

It was widely said that the Glorious City of Qarth was the center of the world—the most lavish city ever recorded in any chronicle, with a history so ancient it exceeded human memory.

A scholar who had traveled across the known world in search of wonders was said to have gouged out his eyes upon seeing Qarth, declaring that everything else he had ever laid eyes on was ugly and dim by comparison.

Now standing at its gates, Drogo could not deny the grandeur and magnificence of this great city—but it was far from being the unmatched marvel the legends made it out to be.
