History
Ranked as the poorest free city in all Essos, Lorath is considered both the most isolated and backward people of Essos. To a large degree this is true, their location on the Shivering Sea is far from ideal and does not encourage much immigration. Due to the lack of opportunity, many of the Lorath seek employment as mercenaries in the Free Companies. While Lorath’s condition is far from ideal, it is one of the few places Ivory can be obtained by harvesting Walrus Tusk, which is a valuable trade commodity. Additionally, Lorath is the main supplier of Velvet and if this industry is further developed the possible wealth it could provide could be staggering.
Isolated from the rest of Essos, Lorath could easily gather its strength and attempt to take over the remains of Sarnor or push inland against Norvos. Either course of action would entail significant risk but would be worth the effort.
Location
Located on the Shivering Isles, Lorath is a small island state known as the poorest, desolate even, of all the free cities. The waters surrounding the Isles are frigid and make trade difficult. To the West is Braavos, Norvos to the South and Qohor to the North-East.
Religion
There are various religions in the Free City of Lorath. Some traders from the West may pray the Seven, the red priests in their temple worship Rh'lorr and Dothraki Khal's, selling their plunder or receiving favour worship 'the great stallion. However most of the men and women of Lorath believe all to be equal, regardless of sex or religion.

Troop Tree
Many of the citizens of Lorath wish to leave their city, selling their skills and swords as mercenaries; thus the troop tree for Lorath is entirely based on mercenaries. Lorath has a wide selection of troops, and can make excellent filler for any army, if you don't want to buy an entire company. The real highlight of the Lorath troops would be their longbowmen at Tier 2. The Mercenary Heavy Calvary is a well balance unit serving as capable shock cavalry. However, the Mercenary Heavy Calvary unit's horse is unarmored and is not equipped them relatively less effective than some other heavy cavalry units.
