TYROSH

One of the Free Cities east of Westeros. The island began as a military outpost during the reign of Old Valyria and became famous for its bright dye production taken from a variety of sea snails.

Tyrosh is inspired by the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre (modern day in Lebanon) and its popular Tyrian Purple dye.
