King of Qarth

The King of Qarth is a defunct title held by the ruler of the city of Qarth in Essos. Long ago the Qartheen rebelled against the King, and Qarth has been an oligarchy ever since.
The Pureborn are the descendants of the Kings of Qarth. They remain in power thanks to their hereditary seats at the Thirteen, the city's ruling council, which effectively gives them control of the city.
