 The Free Cities span an area characterized by the river Rhoyne, which the local character Yandry describes as "the greatest river in the world".Its banks are the homeland of the Rhoynar, who worship the river as "Mother Rhoyne".As mapped in "A Dance with Dragons", the Rhoyne originates from the conjunction of two of its tributaries, the Upper Rhoyne and the Little Rhoyne, southeast of the ruins of Ghoyan Drohe.
