Balerion in Dorne
Selected reading
Meereen is the largest and northernmost of the great Slaver Cities of Slaver’s Bay. Built on the legacy of Old Ghis, it is marked by colored brick, great pyramids, Ghiscari customs, and the harpy emblem shared by the region’s cities. The city’s wealth and social order are bound to slavery, making Meereen a central setting for Daenerys Targaryen’s campaign against the slave trade.

“If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” —Eddard Stark to Bran[4]
“The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song. To me at least, who gave it to you.” —Catelyn Tully, to Robb Stark[5]
