ADwD 70: The Queen's Hand 1065

Ser Barristan Selmy is sort of in charge now that Dany's husband is locked up, pending either Dany's return and/or proof that he wasn't the one who poisoned her.

Quentyn Martell is definitely dead, pending magical resurrection. He's definitely not immune to dragon breath, anyhow. The dragons have taken up residence in a couple of pyramids, much to the char-grin of their previous occupants. The Sons of the Harpy are back at it. Stong Belwas is back from his locust poisoning, but not so strong for now.

Selmy wants to make a truce with the Yunkish and return all the hostages and send Galazza Galare to talk to them. In the meantime he prepares for war against them. He's going to send Quentyn's Dornish friends back to the Windblown free company to get the Tattered Prince to help out (including the promise to give him Pentos in return). How it is Barristan Selmy's or even Meereen's to give is still unclear to me.

But Galazza Galare returns the the Yunkish are not doing anything until those dragons are dead. Well, actually they are doing something: they're hurling corpses, presumably corpses of people who died of dysentery, over the city walls. Nice. War it is then. With added disease and dragons for good measure. Meereen is really not a pleasant place to be right now. No wonder Dany is out of there.
