-In the ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' novels, Ghiscar is a nation that is rising to prominence following the fall of [[Valyria]]. The ancient [[Ghiscari Empire]] was the dominant empire of the east until five thousand years ago, when it was destroyed by Valyria using its newly-discovered [[dragons]]. Since the Doom of Valyria, Ghiscar has been trying to regain its former pre-eminence.
