Vaes Aresak is a ruined town in northern Essos along the Shivering Sea. It is located in the great forest south of Ib which includes the Kingdom of the Ifequevron to the west. East of Vaes Aresak is the Realm of Jhogwin.[1]

History

Vaes Aresak was originally an Ibbenese colony[2] called Ibbish, but it was abandoned when the Dothraki began raiding from the Dothraki sea during the Century of Blood. Because it was taken uncontested, it is now known by its Dothraki language name, Vaes Aresak, meaning City of Cowards.[3] The Ibbenese have since built a new city called New Ibbish to the northwest.[1]

Behind the Scenes

Vaes Aresak has not been mentioned in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, only appearing in The Lands of Ice and Fire and A World of Ice and Fire.
