Selaesori Qhoran was a trading cog en route from Volantis to Qarth.[1] Her name means Fragrant Steward. Tyrion Lannister nicknames her the Stinky Steward.[2]

About

She was a wallowing tub of 500 tons, with a deep hold, high castles fore and aft, and a single mast between. She has a big striped sail. At her forecastle stood a grotesque figurehead, a worm eaten wooden eminence with a constipated look and a scroll tucked up under one arm.

Tyrion had never seen an uglier ship. Her crew was no prettier. Her captain was a mean mouthed, flinty, kettle-bellied man with close-set, greedy eyes. A bad cyvasse player and a worse loser. Under him served four mates, freemen all, and 50 slaves bound to the ship, each with a crude version of the cog’s figurehead tattooed upon one cheek. Three of the mates and more than ¾ of the crew were fervent worshipers of the Lord of Light. Tyrion was not so sure about the captain’s faith, as he would always emerge for the evening prayers but took no other part in them.

She carried tin and iron, bales of wool and lace, fifty Myrish carpets, a corpse pickled in brine, twenty jars of dragon peppers, and a red priest (Moqorro).

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

Benerro, the high preist of R'hllor in Volantis saw in the fire it would not reach its destination.[3] The red priest Moqorro traveled on her to get to Meereen.[4] Due to this the Widow of the waterfront tells Ser Jorah and his prisioner Tyrion Lannister to take passage on her too.[5]

The ship did not reach its destination, being damaged in a violent storm. She ended up floating low in the water and listing ten degrees to port, her hull was sprung in half a hundred places and her hold awash with seawater. The mast was broken off,[6] it had gone into the sea with Moqorro holding on to it, leaving a splintered ruin no taller than a dwarf. Even her figurehead did not escape, one of his arms had broken off, the one will all his scrolls. The captain and some of the crew died or deserted the ship in the next few days. Finally, after at least nineteen days drifting helpless[7], it was boarded and its remaining crew and passengers captured by slavers in a galley.[8]
