History
Located on the fertile coast of the Sea of Myrth, Myr is one of the nine Free-Cities of Essos. Myr, prior to its capture by a group of Valyrian adventurers, was one of the last remaining Andal strongholds on Essos following the Andal’s invasion of Westeros. Myr is not a particularly strong though its crossbowmen are renowned across the world for their crossbows that fire three bolts.
Myr is known for its scholars, art, and for its textile industry with the lace, blankets, screens, and carpets it creates fetching high profits. Recently, Myrish art has become extremely popular in Westeros, which could allow a trader to make a sizable fortune if exploited.
With the threat of war between Tyrosh and Lys becoming more likely, Myr may find itself in need of mercenaries. While one of the weaker powers of Essos, a successful mercenary leader could easily find themselves both fame and fortune fighting for Myr.
Religion
Myr does not have an official state religion. Being a trader city, their are many of varying faiths.

-Excellent crossbowmen
Weaknesses
-No head armor on spearmen
Unique, Location Based Troops
The player can recruit the following special, elite troops if directly governing Myr: -Myrish Slave Warriors can be recruited in bulk (20 men) if player directly governs Myr.
-Myrish Slave Warriors are featured in the Myr tree, however it is more efficient to buy these warriors, not having to train them yourself. Decent spearmen.
Recruiting Units From Myr
Myrish units can be recruited from villages regardless of player status unless they are hostile to The Myr. Additional ways to recruit Myrish units is to rescue them from enemy lords parties, find them in taverns, or rescue them from enemy garrisons.
