The Triarchy

The Triarchy, sometimes referred to as the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, is an alliance of the Free Cities of Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh, initially proposed in 416 AC, but not formulated until 418. Unlike the failed Triarchy of the past, the "kingdom" has no king, but is governed by the High Council of the Triarchy, a group of 33 Magisters. 11 from each representative city.

History
Following the Scouring of the Stepstones in 415 AC, the Free City of Tyrosh, led by their Archon, wished to consolidate power in the region as well as provide an effective deterrent against Aeryn Targaryen and his potential ambitions. Though the Triarchy was initially the last idea to present itself to the table, it was well within the interests of the three cities most effected by the conflict.

Though the Prince in the Narrow Sea did not seem to have any initial problems reigning over the small petty kingdom he had built himself, the three cities' had been effectively halved after Aeryn and his pirate lords began excersizing great tolls on ships wishing to pass through.

The Archon of Tyrosh swiftly approached Lys thereafter, citing Aeryn's ambition as being, "grand," and that he would not just stop with the Stepstones. The Lyseni knew it well enough - House Targaryen of Lys was thought to be virtually extinct, but with Aeryn presenting himself atop a dragon in the Stepstones, many knew that it might be an advantage to ally themselves with an old rival.

In 416 AC, Tyrosh proposed a revival of the Triarchy to deal with this serious threat, but the Conclave of Myr, highly influenced by the ancient House Drahar, issued a flat rejection. However, when the Jadro Mazhah Houses, nervous of losing their newfound wealth, vehemently pressed the Conclave to reconsider, another ancient family, House Sarmyr, backed the movement, tipping the vote to the acceptance of the formation of the Kingdom of Three Daughters.

Recent History (418 AC)
The year 418 AC saw the official ratification of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters. A festival, marked to celebrate the union of the three cities, is to be hosted in Myr. Aeryn Targaryen was invited as a distinguished guest, and whether he will make his mark on the city, or leave it in tatters, is yet to be seen...
