While the elections have ended,{{Ref|ADWD|56}} the results of the new elections have not yet been revealed.

While sailing toward [[Meereen]], [[Victarion Greyjoy]] recalls stopping briefly in Volantis and having seen galleys heading to [[Slaver's Bay]] taking on provisions. The whole city had seemed drunk. Sailors and soldiers and tinkers had been observed dancing in the streets with nobles and fat merchants, and in every inn and winesink cups were being raised to the new triarchs.{{Ref|ADWD|56}}  

Aboard the ''[[Iron Victory]]'' [[Moqorro]] tells Victarion his flames have confirmed that Volantis has sided with the tigers.{{ref|ADWD|63}}
