Mhysa

Mhysa is a word from the High Valyrian language meaning "mother." In the fictional world of Game of Thrones, it is used by the former slaves of Slaver's Bay, particularly in the city of Yunkai, to refer to Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys is seen by many of these freed slaves as their savior and liberator, earning her this honorific title.

The term became prominent during Daenerys's campaign to end slavery in Slaver's Bay. After liberating Yunkai, the former slaves gathered in large numbers to hail her as their "Mhysa," chanting the word repeatedly as she stood on a balcony overlooking the city. This moment symbolized their newfound freedom and their gratitude towards Daenerys for her role in achieving it.

The use of "Mhysa" highlights the deep emotional connection and reverence that the freed people felt for Daenerys. It underscores her image as a benevolent figure who brought an end to their suffering and oppression. However, the term also reflects the complex political and social dynamics of the region, as Daenerys's actions had far-reaching consequences and were not universally welcomed by all factions. The devotion shown by the former slaves, while genuine, also positioned Daenerys as a powerful figure whose influence was both admired and feared.
