Editing Qarth (section)

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
Xaro arrives in Meereen as a representative of Qarth to visit Queen Daenerys. He attempts to persuade her to sail for Westeros. [[Targaryen campaign in Slaver's Bay|Her campaign]] has disrupted the [[slave]] trade upon which depend many cities of [[Essos]], including Qarth. He brings a gift of thirteen ships, stating that they are hers on the condition she sails from [[Slaver's Bay]] to Westeros. Daenerys has the thirteen ships Xaro brought inspected, but later refuses the offer. Xaro's reply is to leave a bloodstained glove on a satin pillow, indicating Qarth has declared war on her.{{ref|ADWD|16}}

Xaro leaves the thirteen ships at Slaver's Bay, where they give aid in closing off the bay to Meereen. Three Qartheen galleys sail up the [[Skahazadhan]] at night, in an attempt to close off the river as well. The [[Mother's Men]] loose flights of fire arrows at their sails and fling pots of burning pitch onto their decks, but the galleys manage to slip by quickly and succeed in closing off the river. The Qartheen drive off a third of [[Meereen]]'s fishing fleet and manage to seize another third, leaving Meereen without trade.{{ref|ADWD|23}} Qarth sends a corps of Qartheen camelry to aid the [[Yunkai]]'i against Daenerys.{{Ref|ADWD|36}}

Pale Qartheen are among those who come to Meereen to battle in [[Daznak's Pit]].{{Ref|ADWD|52}}
