The [[Great Masters]] prepare for Daenerys's arrival by scorching the earth around their city{{ref|ASOS|57}} and having the Meereenese fleet set sails.{{ref|ADWD|16}} The masters also nail a hundred and sixty-three slave children on mileposts along the coastal road.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} Once Daenerys's forces have arrived, Meereen sends out their champion [[Oznak zo Pahl]]. Oznak is slain in single combat by Strong Belwas.{{Ref|ASOS|57}}

Daenerys's [[siege of Meereen]] eventually comes to an end after she sends men through the sewers to strike the chains of the slaves within the city, while having her own forces battering down the eastern gate. The Meereenese slaves rise up, and Daenerys and her army gain access to the city, resulting in its sack.{{ref|ASOS|71}}

Daenerys takes up residence in the [[Great Pyramid]] of Meereen, and she orders a hundred and sixty-three of the Great Masters to be nailed on posts upon the city's central plaza to avenge the slave children.{{Ref|ASOS|71}} King [[Cleon]] of [[Astapor]] sends Lord [[Ghael]] to Meereen as an envoy, offering an alliance between Astapor and Meereen. Since Astapor has not fared well since [[fall of Astapor|its earlier capture]], Daenerys decides to remain and learn to rule in Meereen instead of spreading her rule elsewhere.{{Ref|ASOS|71}}
