[[File:Meereen.png|thumb|300px|Meereen emblem]]

'''Meereen''' is the northernmost and the largest of the three great [[Slaver Cities]] of [[Slaver's Bay]]. It is ruled by the [[Great Masters]], the heads of Meereen's slaving families, and its wealthiest of citizens live in stepped pyramids.{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

Meereen lies on the northeast coast of Slaver's Bay at the mouth of the [[Skahazadhan]], where it flows from its origins in Lhazar through the range of sandstone mountains separating Meereen and the rest of Slaver's Bay from the Red Waste. <ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Map of Valyria (A Dance with Dragons)|Map of Valyria]]</ref> The [[Dothraki Sea]] lies to the north, beyond the river. To reach [[Lhazar]] from Meereen one must pass through the [[Khyzai Pass]].{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

==History==
Copper is plentiful in the [[Ghis]]cari hills, but the metal is not as valuable as it had been when bronze ruled the world. Cedars once grew tall along the coast but grow no more; they were felled by the axes of the [[Ghiscari Empire|Old Empire]] or consumed by [[dragon]]fire when [[Ghis]] made war against [[Valyria]]. Once the trees had gone, the soil baked beneath the hot sun and blew away in thick red clouds. According to [[Galazza Galare]] it was these calamities that transformed her people into slavers. Without slaves Meereen has little to offer.{{Ref|aDwD|16}}

When attempting to convince Dany to marry him, [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] tells her of Meereen’s past and future possibilities. Although what he says to Daenerys is worded in such a way so that it may appeal to her, there is likely much truth in what he declares,
{{Quote|Before you came Meereen was dying. Our rulers were old men with withered cocks and crones whose puckered cunts were dry as dust. They sat atop their pyramids sipping apricot [[wine]] and talking of the glories of the Old Empire whilst the centuries slipped by and the very bricks of the city crumbled all around them. Custom and caution had an iron grip upon us till you awakened us with fire and blood. A new time has come, and new things are possible. {{Ref|aDwD|23}}}}

==The City==
Meereen is as large as [[Astapor]] and [[Yunkai]] combined. Like them it is made of brick, except here the bricks are of many colors.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} The streets are wide and the fighting pits are red.{{Ref|aSoS|71}} The city is dominated by a monstrous pyramid, called the [[Great Pyramid]].

Meereen's walls are high, studded with bastions and anchored by great defensive towers at every angle. The north wall of the city runs along the river bank of the [[Skahazadhan]], the river that flows through the city. It's west wall runs along the shore of [[Slaver's Bay]]. Bronze harpy heads with open mouths top its gates, from which the Meereenese can pour boiling oil to deter attackers. Meereen draws its water from deep wells instead of the Skahazadhan river into which the sewers of the city empty out.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}.

* '''[[The Great Pyramid]]''' is huge, 800 feet tall and topped with a towering bronze harpy. There are a score of lesser pyramids in the city, but none stand even half as high.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} It is here [[Daenerys Targaryen]] resided after she [[Siege of Meereen|conquered the city]], in large chambers at the apex of the pyramid.{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

* '''[[Temple of the Graces]]''' is a huge structure topped with golden domes. It houses the priestesses of Meereen, called the [[Graces]]. The Graces are divided into groups, each with a specific color and specialty. It lies to the west of the Great Pyramid.{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

* '''[[Fighting pits|The Fighting pits]]''' are huge circular arenas built of many multicolored bricks. The largest and most extravagant in Meereen is [[Daznak's Pit]].

==Slaving Families of Meereen==
The city is ruled by slaving families who keep there residences within the pyramids of Meereen. The greater and more powerful the family the larger the Houses pyramid.

==Slavery==
Meereen is renowned for trading in [[slave]]s. Slaves are used in every aspect of life: as guards, cleaners, fighters in the pits, and pleasure givers. Healthy young girls and boys under ten are especially sought after as slaves to be used in brothels.{{Ref|aGoT|61}}

Slavers in Meereen only cut off the testicles when making [[Eunuch|eunuchs]], as opposed to [[Astapor]], where they cut off both penis and testicles.{{Ref|aSoS|23}} When [[Daenerys Targaryen]] took Meereen, she abolished slavery within the city. However, the practice was continued in the hills where slaves still worked on the estates of the wealthy.{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

==Sons of the Harpy==
The [[Sons of the Harpy]] are a secret group that uses guerrilla-like techniques to undermine Daenerys Targaryen's rule. No one knows who their mysterious leader, [[the Harpy]], is. Some suspect it might be [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]], while others believe the sons have no leader.{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===

The Great Masters scorch the earth around Meereen when they hear [[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s army is marching on the city. The city is soon besieged by the forces of Daenerys.{{Ref|aSoS|57}} She [[Siege of Meereen|takes the city]] by sending men through the sewers and battering down the eastern gate. After receiving news from [[Astapor]], which has not faired well since its earlier capture, Daenerys decides to remain and learn to rule in Meereen instead of spreading her rule elsewhere.{{Ref|aSoS|71}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===

Merchant ships from [[Westeros]] and the [[Free Cities]] are now few and far between, since the slave commerce and fighting pits are closed under Daenerys' rule.{{ref|aDwD|6|p 84}}

While several of the Wise Masters have accepted the rule of Daenerys, an organization known as the [[Sons of the Harpy]] are waging a shadow war against her and slaying small groups of [[Freedmen]], [[Shavepates]] and [[Unsullied]] in the dead of night.

The armies of [[Yunkai]] surround the city. The [[ruling council of Meereen]] assumes command of the overseeing of Meereenese affairs when Daenerys flees from [[Daznak's Pit]] on [[Drogon]]'s back. Headed by the Queen's Hand, Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], they meet to discuss how to best deal with the Yunkish army.
==Quotes==
{{Quote|A child departed [[Qarth]], as lost as she was lovely. I feared she was sailing to her doom, yet now I find her here enthroned, mistress of an ancient city, surrounded by a mighty host that she raised up out of dreams.{{Ref|aDwD|16}}}} [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]], to Queen [[Daenerys Targaryen]] during his visit to Meereen

===A Clash of Kings===
After traveling through the desert with Daenerys' ''khalasar'' they come across [[Vaes Tolorro]]. While the rest of the ''khalasar'' rests and recovers in the abandoned city, Daenerys sends Rakharo to the south to find out what is out there.

{{See homonyms | Daenerys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}

'''Daenerys Targaryen''', known as '''Daenerys Stormborn''' or '''Dany''', is the last confirmed member of the ancient [[House Targaryen|Targaryen Dynasty]] and one of the primary [[POV Character|POV characters]] in the book series. In the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]], Daenerys is played by Emilia Clarke.<ref name=hbo/>

==Character and Appearance==
Daenerys is a young woman in her early teens. She is short of stature and very beautiful, with the silver-blonde hair and [[purple eyes]] for which [[House Targaryen]] has always been known.{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

In her youth, Dany was a meek, timid girl with little confidence or self-esteem. She knew no life other than one of exile, dependent and in constant fear of her brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]]. He was the only family she knew, but was often a cruel guardian, prone to mood swings and fits of violence.

Her marriage to [[Khal Drogo]] was a turning point for her; adapting to life in a Dothraki ''[[khalasar]]'' was difficult, but it allowed her to begin to achieve independence from her abusive brother, and she emerged from the experience as a strong, confident, courageous woman. Nevertheless, she has not forgotten what it was like to be a victimized child, and her experiences have left her with a compassion that is unusual in a would-be conqueror. She is determined to bring justice through her reign, and has made ending [[slavery]] a particular priority. Despite her strong moral compass, however, she is capable of dealing ruthlessly with her enemies.

It was often said that the Targaryen kings tended to be either [[Targaryen madness|madmen]] or brilliant rulers, and Daenerys seems to have inherited a natural gift for leadership as her birthright. Her followers generally regard her with great respect and love, and she is often compared to her deceased brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]], a similarly charismatic leader who was known for his skill, determination, scholarly mind and strong sense of justice. Her primary weakness as a ruler is her youth and relative inexperience; however, she has a keen intellect and learns quickly from her mistakes.

Although she has matured enough to recognize that [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] was weak, cowardly and cruel, his abiding obsession with regaining the crown he felt was his birthright has instilled in Daenerys a similar belief that reclaiming the [[Seven Kingdoms]] is both her right and her duty as the last of the Targaryens, and it remains the paramount goal of her life. Nevertheless, [[Westeros]] is a foreign land that she has never seen with her own eyes, and she sometimes longs wistfully for the house with a red door in [[Braavos]] that has come to symbolize her lost childhood.

==History==
[[File:Edriss_young_Dany&Viserys.jpg‎‎‎|young Dany and her brother - by Jacqui Davis ©|thumb|250px|left]]
[[File:Viserys Daenerys Targaryen hbo.jpg|thumb|250px|Daenerys and her brother [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] complicated relationship]]
Daenerys is the only daughter and youngest child of King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] and his sister-wife, Queen [[Rhaella Targaryen|Rhaella]]. Daenerys was conceived during the last month of [[Robert's Rebellion|the rebellion]] that would ultimately end her family's reign over the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Shortly thereafter, her mother was sent with the young prince Viserys to the family ancestral seat of [[Dragonstone]] to escape the coming [[Sack of King's Landing]]. Daenerys was born while a great storm raged above Dragonstone, sinking what remained of the Targaryen fleet, for this reason she is sometimes known as "Daenerys Stormborn." Her mother died in labor.

By this time, the war was already lost. [[Robert Baratheon]] had claimed the throne and Aerys had already been killed along with the rest of the royal family, leaving Daenerys and her older brother Viserys as the only known living Targaryen heirs. The garrison at Dragonstone decided to surrender and turn them over to the rebels in exchange for their lives, but before they could act on this plan, Ser [[Willem Darry]] and several other loyal retainers rescued the children and smuggled them into exile, sailing to the [[Braavos|Free City of Braavos]], where they lived for years in a house with a red door. Ser Willem was old and sickly, but Dany remembers that he always treated her kindly. After his death, the servants drove the young Targaryens from the house. Dany wept as they were forced out.{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

The Targaryen loyalists who raised the two children considered Viserys the rightful ruler of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] despite the family's defeat and exile, as did Viserys himself. He regarded it as his duty to revenge himself on the usurpers who murdered his family and reclaim the birthright that had been stolen from him when he was only a child. In the years that followed Ser Willem's death, Viserys wandered the nine [[Free Cities]] with his sister, trying to raise support to retake the [[Iron Throne]], which earned him the mocking title of "The Beggar King."

As a result of this long humiliation, Viserys grew bitter and obsessed with his long-denied birthright. Dany was the only convenient target for his frustration, and over time he even came to blame her for their mother's death. He took pride in his lack of control of his own temper, regarding it as proof that he was a true heir to the Targaryen kings; he regularly warned Dany not to "wake the dragon" by angering him. He often spoke to her of the importance of preserving the purity of their royal bloodline through the ancient [[Valyria|Valyrian]] practice of dynastic incest, so Dany grew up believing she would one day wed her brother. She was bright enough to realize that most of Viserys' plans for retaking the Seven Kingdoms were unrealistic, and as she had no memory of [[Westeros]] herself, his dream meant little to her; instead she longed to return to the house with the red door, which in her mind became a symbol for the childhood she had lost. With no family other than the abusive Viserys and no expectation of ever escaping his control, Dany grew into a fearful and docile young woman.

Viserys and Daenerys eventually found the help they sought in the [[Pentos|Free City of Pentos]], in the form of a rich and powerful [[magister]], [[Illyrio Mopatis]], who invited them to stay in his manse and offered his help in reclaiming [[Iron Throne|their throne]].{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

[[File:Dany dragon.jpg|thumb|250px|Dany [[Dragons]] growing strong]]

While Daenerys and [[Viserys Targaryen|her brother]] were staying at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]], Illyrio arranged a marriage between Dany and the powerful [[Dothraki]] warlord [[Khal Drogo]]. In return, Drogo was to provide Viserys with ten thousand warriors for his campaign to retake the [[Iron Throne]]. Dany's opinion was not consulted, and she realized this “marriage” was little different from being sold into [[slavery]]. She told her brother she did not wish to marry Khal Drogo, but Viserys only threatened that she would “wake the dragon” if she failed to please the ''[[khal]]''. Despairing, Dany saw no choice but to do her best to avoid her brother's wrath, as she always had.{{Ref|aGoT|3}}

At the wedding, the exiled [[Westeros]]i [[knight]] Ser [[Jorah Mormont]] pledged his sword to the Targaryen cause. Dany received three petrified dragon eggs from Illyrio, three handmaidens ([[Irri]], [[Jhiqui]] and [[Doreah]]) from her brother, and [[The Silver|a magnificent silver filly]] from Drogo. She was frightened by the seemingly barbaric Dothraki culture and particularly terrified of her bridegroom, a powerfully built man who shared no common language with her. After the ceremony she wept in terror, waiting for him to rape her, but Drogo proved to be a surprisingly considerate lover. He established that he understood the word “no” and began touching her gently and gradually, only having intercourse with her after she expressed her consent and initiated it.{{Ref|aGoT|11}}

Life in the ''[[khalasar]]'' was difficult at first; Dany was lonely and unaccustomed to spending her days on horseback. Nevertheless, she was determined to embrace her new life. Gradually her body strengthened and she began to enjoy the sense of freedom that came with the nomadic lifestyle. The first real turning point came when Viserys flew into one of his rages at her and Dany, for the first time in her life, fought back, shoving him away – and found herself backed up by [[Jhogo]], who whipped Viserys and asked the ''[[khaleesi]]'' how he ought to be punished. Dany began to realize that Viserys was ultimately a pathetic bully, and that she herself might not be as worthless as her brother had always claimed. From this day forward, she began to assert herself more and more.{{Ref|aGoT|23}} She lost her fear of both the Dothraki and her brother, becoming a strong and confident woman who little resembled the timid girl who had left Pentos. Her growing courage pleased Drogo, and they developed a loving relationship.

Drogo took Daenerys east to [[Vaes Dothrak]] and presented her to the ''[[dosh khaleen]]''. By the time they arrived, Daenerys, now fourteen, was pregnant with Drogo's child.{{Ref|aGoT|23}} She took part in the [[stallion heart]] ceremony, and the ''dosh khaleen'' foretold that her son would be "the [[Stallion Who Mounts the World]]," a long-prophesied leader destined to unite the Dothraki into a single ''khalasar'' and conquer the world. Dany announced that the child would be named [[Rhaego]] in honor of her deceased brother [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]]. Viserys had been growing increasingly impatient for the aid he had been promised, and the situation finally came to a head when he broke Dothraki law by drawing a blade in the sacred city, threatening both Daenerys and her unborn child. Drogo announced that Viserys would have the golden crown he deserved and dumped a pot of molten gold over his head, killing him and making Daenerys the last Targaryen. Dany watched impassively.{{Ref|aGoT|46}}

With Viserys' death, Drogo lost interest in the notion of invading Westeros, despite Dany's attempts to persuade him. This changed, however, when Ser Jorah prevented an assassin from poisoning Daenerys and discovered that [[Robert Baratheon]] had placed a price on her head. Enraged, Drogo vowed before his ''khalasar'' to avenge this insult by conquering Westeros to seat his son on the [[Iron Throne]] that his mother's ancestors had once held.{{Ref|aGoT|56}} The ''khalasar'' continued east, pillaging foreign lands with the intent of selling slaves for ships to make the crossing to Westeros. During one such raid of a [[Lhazareen]] town, Daenerys grew disturbed by the treatment of the defeated and finally gave orders to stop every rape she saw, claiming the victims as her personal slaves and taking them under her protection. The Dothraki were angered by the ''khaleesi'' denying them their traditional right to rape captives, but Daenerys held her ground, prompting Jorah to comment that she reminded him of Rhaegar. Khal Drogo, delighted by his wife's boldness, supported her decision.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]], Daenerys</ref>

Drogo was injured in the raid. A Lhazareen priestess, [[Mirri Maz Duur]], offered to treat him, and although Drogo's [[Bloodrider|bloodriders]] reviled the woman as a ''[[maegi]]'', Dany felt that she could trust her, as Mirri was one of the women she had rescued.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]], Daenerys</ref> However, Drogo did not follow the priestess' advice, and the wound festered, making him too weak to ride. Jorah explained to Dany that her position as ''khaleesi'' had been entirely dependent on Drogo, and without him, both she and her unborn son were likely to be killed. Desperate, she begged Mirri Maz Duur to save her husband, ignoring the possible consequences of [[Magic|blood magic]]. During the rite, Dany went into labor and Ser Jorah carried her into Drogo's tent, where Mirri Maz Duur was in the process of summoning dark spirits.{{Ref|aGoT|64}} When Dany awoke days later, she learned that Rhaego was stillborn, while Drogo lived only as a catatonic husk. Mirri Maz Duur revealed that this was the true price of the blood magic, and that she felt no gratitude toward Dany, who had "rescued" her only after she had been raped multiple times and seen her community destroyed.

Dany euthanized Drogo and was abandoned by most of the ''khalasar'', which broke into rival war-bands.{{Ref|aGoT|68}} Jorah urged her to flee with him into the east, while the men of Dany's ''khas'' offered to escort her to Vaes Dothrak to take her place as a former ''khaleesi'' among the ''dosh khaleen''. Dany, however, decided to finally take control of her destiny. She ordered Mirri Maz Duur bound to Drogo's funeral pyre and placed the three dragon eggs around his corpse, then announced to Drogo's remaining followers that she was freeing those who were enslaved, and would lead them all to glory if they chose to follow her. She offered to [[Aggo]], [[Jhogo]] and [[Rakharo]] the traditional gifts of a ''khal'' to his bloodriders; each refused, saying that to serve as bloodrider to a woman would shame them, but Daenerys ignored their objections. Ser Jorah accepted her offer, and she named him the first of her [[Kingsguard|Queensguard]].

Daenerys then walked unflinchingly into the flames. The resulting magic restored life to the eggs, from which three [[dragon|dragons]] hatched, the first known for centuries. Daenerys emerged from the fire unharmed. Drogo's former ''khalasar'', now hers more surely than they had ever been Drogo's, knelt in awe. Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo willingly swore themselves as her bloodriders, and Daenerys became the first female Dothraki war-leader, a ''[[khaleesi]]'' in her own right.{{Ref|aGoT|72}}

===''A Clash of Kings''===

Daenerys named the three dragons [[Viserion]], [[Rhaegal]] and [[Drogon]], after her two deceased brothers and her late husband, respectively.

She and the remains of Drogo's ''khalasar'' were stranded in a desolate area known as the [[Red Waste]]. They dared not turn toward the [[Dothraki Sea]], the cities of [[Slaver's Bay]], or even [[Lhazar]], for the group would have made easy prey for any Dothraki ''khalasar'' they encountered. Dany chose instead to follow a red comet that had appeared in the sky following the hatching of her dragons; although the Dothraki viewed the comet as a foreboding omen, Dany believed that it heralded her own rise to power. The comet led them to an ancient, abandoned city, which Dany named [[Vaes Tolorro]]. There they recovered from the ravages of the desert while Dany sent scouts in all directions.

One scout returned with three emissaries, all prominent citizens from the great city of [[Qarth]]: the merchant [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]], the warlock [[Pyat Pree]], and the mysterious masked Asshai'i [[Quaithe]]. Dany and her people accompanied the Qartheen back to their city, where they stayed as honored guests in the palatial home of Xaro. There Dany learned of King [[Robert Baratheon]]'s death and the civil war in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. She attempted to seek out Qartheen allies who would provide her with aid in conquering [[Westeros]], but it swiftly became clear that the merchants of Qarth were only interested in obtaining her dragons.{{Ref|aCoK|12}}{{Ref|aCoK|27}}

Daenerys turned to Pyat Pree and the famous warlocks of Qarth. Against the judgment of her friends and counselors, she agreed to visit the [[House of the Undying]], seeking a vision of the warlocks' masters, the [[Undying Ones]]. Although Jorah and her bloodriders begged to accompany her, she insisted on entering alone. After receiving instructions from Pyat Pree, Dany drank [[shade of the evening]] and entered the building. Inside, Dany beheld a number of strange visions, most apparently signifying past, present and future events in [[Westeros]]. Upon finally reaching the chamber of the Undying, Dany heard whispers hailing her as "Mother of Dragons" and prophesying that she would light three fires, ride three mounts, and face three betrayals. The Undying showed Dany several more visions and then attacked her, but with Drogon's help she destroyed the House of the Undying.

Afterward, the people of Qarth turned against Daenerys; the warlocks were rumored to conspire against her life, while Xaro finally requested that Dany and her people leave his mansion. With nowhere else to turn, she finally considered the suggestions of the third emissary, Quaithe, who told her that she must go further east to conquer the west.{{Ref|aCoK|48}} Dany thus visited the docks with Jorah to seek passage out of Qarth. There she noticed two strangers following her. Thus distracted, she was off her guard when a [[Sorrowful Men|Sorrowful Man]] attempted to poison her with a [[manticore]], but one of the strangers interceded and knocked the manticore aside just in time. The two men introduced themselves [[Strong Belwas]], a eunuch and former pit fighter, and [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]], an older [[Westeros]]i man serving as Belwas' squire. They claimed to be agents sent by [[Illyrio Mopatis|Magister Illyrio]] with three ships to escort Daenerys and her party back to [[Pentos]]. Dany accepted the pair into her service and claimed the three ships and their cargo for her own, renaming them [[Vhagar (ship)|Vhagar]], [[Meraxes (ship)|Meraxes]] and [[Balerion (ship)|Balerion]] after the three dragons that brought her ancestor [[Aegon the Conqueror]] and his sister-wives to Westeros. Dany and her companions thus set sail for Pentos.{{Ref|aCoK|64}}

===''A Storm of Swords''===
[[File:ReneAigner_Queen riding_to_war.jpg ‎| Queen Daenerys Targaryen leading her army astride [[her silver]] - by © Rene Aigner|thumb|250px|right]]
Several days into the trip, Ser [[Jorah]] manages to convince Daenerys to go to [[Astapor]], one of the great [[slave]] cities of [[Slaver's Bay]], to purchase [[Unsullied]] so she can return to [[Illyrio]] with an army at her back. He also kisses her and professes his love for her.{{Ref|aSoS|9}} Once in [[Astapor]], Daenerys begins to have doubts about using [[slave]]s, still she agrees to purchases an army of every [[Unsullied]] in the ciry in exchange for her Dragon [[Drogon]]. She is given a slave [[Missandei]] as a gift from the [[Good Masters]]. Dany accepts, but she then frees [[Missandei]]. Dany tells Missandei that she can leave Dany's service whenever she wishes, but Missandei remains close and loyal to Dany.

After taking control of the [[Unsullied]], Dany betrays the Masters by breaking the deal, reclaims [[Drogon]] and commands him to use his fires against the [[Astapor]]i leaders. She then uses the Unsullied to [[Sack of Astapor|conquer the city]]. After the fighting, she proclaims all Astapori slaves free, including her Unsullied, giving her the name ''Breaker of Shackles'', or ''Breaker of Chains''. The [[Unsullied]] and many new [[Freedmen]] choose to follow her in her future battles. After forming a council to rule Astapor, she sets out for the next great slave city [[Yunkai]].{{Ref|aSoS|27}}

[[Yunkai]] hires two sellsword companies, the [[Stormcrows]] and the [[Second Sons]], in addition to conscripting a force of some four thousand slave soldiers. Daenerys parleys with the captains of the companies, hoping to convince them to switch sides. Her arguments convince one of the Stormcrows' commanders, [[Daario Naharis]], to assassinate his colleagues and pledge the company to Daenerys. To the Second Sons, Daenerys offers a great store of wine as tribute then [[Battle of Yunkai|attacks]] them in the night while they are drunk and sleeping. With the Stormcrows' betrayal and the Second Sons' drunkenness, Yunkai's [[slave]] army is unable to withstand Daenerys's Unsullied. The entire Yunkish army is slain, captured, or put to flight, and Yunkai surrenders a few days later.{{Ref|aSoS|42}}

Daenerys next made for [[Meereen]], the last of the great slave cities. Near Meereen, Daenerys is nearly killed by the [[Mero|Titan's Bastard]], the former captain of the Second Sons. [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]] slays the Bastard, and finally reveals his true identity as [[Barristan Selmy]], a famous knight of her father's [[Kingsguard]] who had served the Usurper [[Robert Baratheon]] after the end of the Rebellion. He claims to have seen the error of his ways and to seeking her out as the true heir to the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Selmy also reveals that [[Jorah Mormont]], still Daenerys's trusted right arm, has been sending reports on her actions to the spymaster in [[King's Landing]], [[Varys|Lord Varys]], hoping for a pardon from [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]]. Daenerys feels betrayed by each of them, though both fervently wish to atone for their actions. During her [[Siege of Meereen]], she sends them on a covert suicide mission through the sewers, half hoping that they will die in the attempt. The mission succeeds and wins the city with minimal blood. Barristan humbly submits to his Queen's judgment and is forgiven. [[Jorah]] stubbornly continues to insist that he had done nothing wrong, and Daenerys is forced to banish him from her service, despite her desire to pardon him.{{Ref|aSoS|57}}

Having captured [[Meereen]], Dany turns her eyes toward [[Westeros]]. Through talks with Barristan about her homeland and its history, however, she learns that there is much she does not know about ruling. Upon hearing that Astapor and Yunkai cannot maintain the peace she had hoped to bring, she resolves to bring order to [[Slaver's Bay]] before leaving it behind. By this time, she is close on seventeen years.

===''A Feast for Crows''===

Tales told by sailors reach [[Westeros]], dragons in [[Asshai]], dragons in [[Qarth]], dragons in [[Meereen]], [[Dothraki]] dragons, dragons freeing [[slave]]s … each telling differs from the last, but only in details. All speak of [[dragons]], and a beautiful young queen. {{Ref|aFfC|Prologue}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
[[Image:Daenerys.jpg|thumb|250px|Daenerys Targaryen with Dragons, by [http://en.amokanet.ru/gallery/martin/targaryens_1237.html Amoka©]]]
Dany struggles as ruler of [[Meereen]], mainly due to the constant threats surrounding her. A portion of [[Meereen]]'s former slaving families who call themselves the [[Sons of the Harpy]] fight a shadow war with her followers, attacking lone freedmen or [[Unsullied]] in the black of night and drawing a harpy nearby with the man's blood.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} The sons have also scrawled graffiti on the walls of Meereen in blood promising a death to the families of any who serve the Dragon Queen.

In Meereen, men traditionally wear their oiled black and red hair in varying shapes in homage to [[Ghis|Ghiscari]] culture. The Meereenese who now serve Dany shave their heads, symbolizing the abandonment of old Meereen to serve the new. These men are known as [[Shavepates]], and are led by [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]], known as ''the Shavepate''. Another of her Meereenese councilors is the seneschal, [[Reznak mo Reznak]].

Three fighting companies were also formed by Daenerys, their members comprised from her freeman. The company names are [[Mother's Men]]; The Company of the [[Free Brothers]]; and the [[Stalwart Shields]]. They have been receiving their training in arms from [[Grey Worm]].

Daenery's dragons have grown wilder, hunting sheep and livestock. Eventually a petitioner comes to her, presenting the bones of his six-year-old girl daughter "[[Hazzea]]", claiming the "[[Drogon|winged shadow]]" had killed her.{{Ref|aDwD|2}} Prompted by this, Dany has her [[Unsullied]] capture the dragons using nets and chains and lock them below ground to prevent any more such killings. In a [[dragon pit (Great Pyramid)|closed fighting pit]], [[Viserion]] and [[Rhaegal]] are captured (though several Unsullied lose their lives in the process), but [[Drogon]] escapes and disappears. During this time, she has a vision of [[Quaithe]] that offers her prophetic advice, most specifically warning her not to trust the perfumed seneschal.{{Ref|aDwD|11}}

Daenerys has grave enemies outside [[Meereen]] as well as in. Since she ended the [[slave]] trade in [[Slaver's Bay]], several of the [[Free Cities]] that rely upon the slave trade of the slave cities to fuel their economy have promised help to the [[Yunkai]] to bring her down. Yunkai has hired sellsword legions such as the [[Long Lances]], the [[Company of the Cat]] and the [[Windblown]]. Legions have also arrived from [[New Ghis]].

The Yunkai host first takes [[Astapor]] from [[Cleon|Cleon the Butcher King]], its most recent ruler, and puts thousands of its inhabitants to the sword or sends them again into slavery.{{Ref|aDwD|25}} An escaped rider who managed to flee in the confusion of the siege brings word of this to Dany in Meereen. Unfortunately word is not the only thing he brings, as he is infected with the [[bloody flux]].{{Ref|aDwD|30}} Several other [[Astapor]]i citizens flee to Meereen, bringing the disease with them.

The merchant emissary [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]] arrives from [[Qarth]] bearing a gift of 13 ships in exchange for Dany's abandon of [[Slaver's Bay]] and departure for [[Westeros]]. Dany wishes to go, but the thirteen ships are not enough to take her entire army of Unsullied, [[Dothraki]], sellswords and freedmen. The Shavepates beg her not to go. If she does, they who served her and their families will die by the Sons of the Harpy. She refuses Xaro, which prompts [[Qarth]] to join the Yunkai against her.{{Ref|aDwD|16}}

Deaths of freedmen and Unsullied continue to grow nightly, and several former freed slave women are raped by the Sons of the Harpy before having their throats slit open. Daenerys takes the children of several Meereenese families of dubious loyalty as [[Cupbearers of Daenerys Targaryen|Cupbearers]] in name, but hostages in truth in hopes that would stop the killing. The killings only continue though and Daenerys refuses to harm the child hostages.

In despair and loneliness, Dany takes [[Daario Naharis]] as a lover. A plan is put to her by the [[Graces|Meereenese priestess]], the [[Green Grace]] [[Galazza Galare]], suggesting that Dany should wed the Meereenese noble [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] to bring peace. After a time Dany agrees, on the condition that [[Hizdahr]] can promise her 90 days of peace. Hizdahr agrees.{{Ref|aDwD|23}} [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]], captain of the [[Second Sons]], learns that Dany can no longer control her dragons, and takes his company go over to the Yunkai.
[[File: Drogon in Daznak's Pit.jpg|Daenerys and Drogon in [[Daznak's Pit]] - by Marc Simonetti ©|thumb|250px]]

At this point, [[Quentyn Martell]] of [[Dorne]] arrives to make a marriage claim, but is rejected because Dany has already promised to wed Hizdahr. After [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] succeeds at keeping his promise of peace, Dany weds him.{{Ref|aDwD|43}} Under his direction, Dany, much to her disgust, suggests peace terms with [[Yunkai]]. She promises if they leave [[Meereen]] and do not enslave any of the former slaves she freed, she will not disrupt the slave trade of [[Slaver's Bay]] any further. The Yunkai agree.{{Ref|aDwD|50}}

To mark the occasion, the [[fighting pits]] are reopened and several gladiators (who freely agreed to compete) battle in the arena of [[Daznak's Pit]]. During the event [[Strong Belwas]] consumes [[poisoned locusts]] that were most likely meant for Daenerys and her black dragon [[Drogon]] appears, drawn to the screams of the crowd and the smell of death. He kills a boar in the arena, but is then attacked by the animal handler [[Harghaz]]. Dany, seeing her "child" in pain, runs out in the arena to him as she sees other pit fighters going to kill the dragon. Dany manages to mount the dragon and ride him out of the arena.{{Ref|aDwD|52}} Many in Meereen suspect that she is dead.{{Ref|aDwD|55}} She is alive with [[Drogon]], however, thousands of leagues away. She and her dragon are eventually discovered by the ''khalasar'' of [[Jhaqo|Khal Jhaqo]].{{Ref|aDwD|71}}
