Bay of Dragons

Slaver's Bay is an area on the south coast of Essos, located a considerable distance south and east of Westeros and the Free Cities. The area borders the Dothraki Sea to the south and south-east. It is noted as the location of the three great slave-cities of Meereen, Astapor and Yunkai. The country of Lhazar, noted for its unwarlike shepherd-folk, is located up the Skahazadhan River from Meereen.

The Dothraki enjoy pillaging areas close to Slaver's Bay and driving captives to the slave cities in return for riches. They particular enjoy pillaging Lhazar, since it is located conveniently close to Meereen.

The bay also used to be the heartland of the fallen Valyrian Freehold, with the shattered peninsular of Valyria located to the west of the bay.

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Slaver's Bay is where slaves are bought and sold in vast numbers. The area is nominally independent, although the long-fallen Ghiscari Empire is making a resurgance from the south-east.
