==Quotes== {{quote|I have heard your arguments so often I could plead your case myself. Shall I? The [[fighting pits of Meereen|fighting pits]] have been a part of [[Meereen]] since the city was founded. The combats are profoundly religious in nature, a [[blood sacrifice]] to the [[gods of Ghis]]. The mortal art of [[Ghis]] is not mere butchery but a display of courage, skill, and strength most pleasing to your gods. Victorious fighters are pampered and acclaimed, and the slain are honored and remembered. By reopening the pits I would show the people of Meereen that I respect their ways and customs. The pits are far-famed across [[known world|the world]]. They draw trade to Meereen, and fill the city's coffers with [[coin]] from the ends of the earth. All men share a taste for blood, a taste the pits help slake. In that way they make Meereen more tranquil. For criminals condemned to die upon the sands, the pits represent a judgment by battle, a last chance for a man to prove his innocence. There. How have I done?{{ref|ADWD|2}}|[[Daenerys Targaryen]] to [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]]}}
