In the books Edit

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Thirteen are not the ruling oligarchy of Qarth but a powerful merchant guild that competes with the Tourmaline Brotherhood and the Ancient Guild of Spicers for supremacy over the city. Meanwhile, the rulers of Qarth are the "Pureborn" or "Enthroned", a group of aristocrats that descend from the ancient kings and queens of Qarth. These three large merchant guilds compete with the Pureborn and with each other for power in Qarth.
