The Ghiscari attempted to stop Valyria's expansion and the burgeoning freehold was involved in a series of great wars against the Old Empire. The Ghiscari lockstep legions attacked Valyria five times, but they could never defeat them - with the help of dragons, Valyria was able to defend and emerge victorious each time. Finally, in the last of the Ghiscari Wars, the Valyrians marched on their capital, Old Ghis <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Old_Ghis" target="_blank">(click)</a>, razed it to the ground, and sowed its fields with salt, sulfur, and skulls, obliterating it and thereby destroying the Old Empire of Ghis. Adopting slavery from Ghis, Valyria expanded its influence over the surviving Ghiscari colonies of Slaver's Bay, and continued to conquer and colonize further. <img src="http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gameofthrones/images/4/40/Valyrian_Ghiscari_War.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140621003040" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Dragon Symbolizes the Valyrian Empire and the Harpy Symbolizes the Old Empire Of Ghis The Old Empire Of Ghis <img src="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/2/28/Harpy.jpg/350px-Harpy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Old Empire of Ghis was one of the oldest known nations and cultures in the world. It reigned supreme over much of Essos. Its founding and golden age predate that of its successor, the Valyrian Freehold, by thousands of years. The Old Empire took the harpy emblem of Ghis. It depicted a fanged woman with leathery wings for arms, the legs of an eagle, and the tail of scorpion, clutching a thunderbolt in her talons.At its height Ghis fielded highly disciplined legions of lockstep soldiers <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Lockstep_legions" target="_blank">(click)</a> that were reputed to be nearly unbeatable on the battlefield. The architecture of Ghis was dominated by massive brick towers and pyramids built using slave labor. Its symbol was the harpy. The Ghiscari expanded as far as Sothoryos, founding Gorosh as a penal colony.You should remember Danerys' Unsullied. The Unsullied have been referred to as the lockstep legions come again as they are absolutely obedient, absolutely loyal, and utterly without fear. During Dany's Reign of the Slavers' Bay, The Sons of Harpy raise attacks against her. It's to be known that this name symbolizes the Harpy from Old Ghis <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Harpy" target="_blank">(click)</a> For More Information Old Empire Of Ghis - <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Old_Empire_of_Ghis" target="_blank">http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Old_Empire_of_Ghis</a> Ghiscari Wars - <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ghiscari_Wars" target="_blank">http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Ghiscari_Wars</a> With the destruction of Ghis, the Old Empire collapsed and most of the original Ghiscari bloodline was wiped out. The surviving populations of the empire rebuilt what they could from the wreckage. The outlying colonies of Slaver's Bay <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Slaver%27s_Bay" target="_blank">(click)</a> rose to prominence: Astapor <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Astapor" target="_blank">(click)</a>, Yunkai <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Yunkai" target="_blank">(click)</a>, and Meereen <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Meereen" target="_blank">(click)</a>. These cities established themselves as a hub of the global slave trade and became extremely wealthy. The island city of New Ghis <a href="http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/New_Ghis" target="_blank">(click)</a> was also founded.</blockquote>
