ASoS 71: Daenerys 977

Dany is now sitting on top of the pyramid in Meereen, which means she conquered it off-stage. She sent poor old Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy up the sewers, and had Ilyrio's ships turned into battering rams (he must be wondering where she's got to by now, surely?) She also had 163 people crucified as punishment for the 163 crucified children. Very fair, is our Dany.

Her previous conquered city, Astapor, is not doing so well. There's an evil butcher king, and she has had to allow starving people to sell themselves into slavery (surely a zero-hours contract would be better?)

Barristan Selmy tells Dany for the first time about her father the mad king. He also convinces her he will be faithful henceforth. Jorah Mormont on the other hand is banished (again!). I am sure no good will come of that.
