How many asoiaf leaders we see being self reflecting?

Meanwhile Dany, the night before she offers freedom to all Unsullied, she reflects about Eroeh's fate and even feels guilty about her tragic end.

This girl was raped when Dany rescued her and added her to her personal slaves in order to offer her protection ( remember, back when Dany was married to Drogo, she didn't have the authority to free a slave herself).

Unfortunately for Eroeh, her sad fate didn't stop there. Because after Khal Drogo was dead and Dany was no longer considered a Khaleesi by most of his khalasar, Eroeh's rapist return to abuse and kill the girl.

Dany was by no means responsible to what happened to Eroeh because she was unconscious ( after giving a difficult birth) when the girl met her cruel end by Khal Mago.

However, that doesn't stop Dany from feeling she failed the girl. Because Dany believes that a ruler's duty is to protect their subjects.

Dany was once also a helpless child in need of protection from her brother - king. But instead all she got was his cruelty and abuse.

Dany knows first hand how someone can suffer under a merciless King. Combine on that the guilt she feels for the fate of a girl she couldn't possible change and it's no wonder that she comes to the conclusion that " justice...is what kings are for".

Those aren't pretty words coming out of a mouth of a pampered and naive girl playing the Messiah. Those are the words of a girl who has sold by her Brother - King as a bride-slave, a girl who has suffered things other Ruler candidates couldn't possibly imagine, a girl who is going to live by those words she said. The same teenage girl offers freedom and justice to all the Unsullied slaves the next morning.

Dany Month Day 1: Politics

I wanted to draw how I think the cities of Slaver’s Bay might be drawn on future maps, to symbolize Dany’s impact on the cities. I couldn’t narrow it down to a single political action, since I find pretty much everything she’s doing here impressive and admirable.

According to Dany stans Tokar is wore by only slavers. The massacre in Asaptor is only resulted in slavers death. Women do not wore them.

All wrapped themselves in tokars, a garment permitted only to freeborn men of Astapor. (ASOS, Daenerys III)

Freeborn does not equal slaver.

Also, if it was only adults, she would not need to clarify what age child was okay to murder and which not. It's mentioned within the same chapter so this is something GRRM deliberately wrote in connection to one another.

"Slay the Good Masters, slay the soldiers, slay every man who wears a tokar or holds a whip, but harm no child under twelve, and strike the chains off every slave you see." (ASOS, Daenerys III)

She mentions separately the Good Masters, their soldiers, the general freeborn, and anyone in a position of authority over the slaves. And she includes children aged twelve and up, excluding only those below that age.

But hey, no women were harmed! Supposedly. In Meereen women also wear tokars, so who knows if they did in Astapor. But even if not, everyone knows men's lives don't matter, and mass murder is okay if it's not directed at women. Feminism?

I think it’s interesting that The House With The Red Door is in Braavos, a society which was founded by escaped slaves. Knowing that Daenerys spent the best part of her childhood there, it’s nice to think about Dany running around the streets of Braavos and perhaps learning various folktales about freed slaves and how Braavos came to prosper, all of which would go on to fuel her fight against slavery later on in her life

She raised the harpy's fingers in the air . . . and then she flung the scourge aside. "Freedom!" she sang out. "Dracarys! Dracarys!" Daenarys III - Pg 381

With a cry of freedom, Daenerys unleashes her new army against the masters.

This one was a mess. I tried to zoom out and show all of the action, but there was just too much going on. On top of that Drogon steers the eye off the page.

I've seen some people claiming that Daenerys enslaved the other slaves, so jete is proof that she hadn't, please stop making inexisting arguments ands excuses to hate on such an amazing character!!

♧ One of the first things Dany had done after the fall of Astapor was abolish the custom of giving the Unsullied new slave names every day. Most of those born free had returned to their birth names; those who still remembered them, at least. Others had called themselves after heroes or gods, and sometimes weapons, gems, and even flowers, which resulted in soldiers with some very peculiar names, to Dany’s ears. Grey Worm had remained Grey Worm. When she asked him why, he said, “It is a lucky name. The name this one was born to was accursed. That was the name he had when he was taken for a slave. But Grey Worm is the name this one drew the day Daenerys Stormborn set him free.”

"E fogo, fogo por toda parte. Fechava os olhos e ainda podia ver; chamas se contorcendo nas pirâmides de tijolos, maiores do que qualquer castelo que já vira, nuvens de fumaça gordurosa subindo em espiral como grandes serpentes negras.

Quando o vento soprava do sul, o ar cheirava a fumaça mesmo aqui, a cinco quilômetros da cidade. Atrás das muralhas vermelhas se desintegrando, Astapor ainda ardia, embora a maior parte dos grandes incêndios já estivesse extinta. Cinzas voavam preguiçosas na brisa, como grandes flocos de neve cinzentos.

Seria bom partir." - A Dança dos Dragões // O Soprado pelo Vento

Game of Thrones filming sites and the September 8th Morocco earthquake. 🇲🇦

Several locations in Morocco were used for location filming in Game of Thrones. They were all affected by the recent earthquake though were not in the most severely struck area.

Essaouira served as Astapor in Season 3. It's located on the Atlantic coast. The effect of the quake in Essaouira was IV to VI on the Mercalli Scale which measures local intensity.

Aït Benhaddou filled in as Yunkai, another Slaver's Bay location from Season 3. Aït Benhaddou is about 22 km from Ouarzazate which is the home of Atlas Studios where some production took place. In Aït Benhaddou/Ouarzazate the quake measured VI to VII on the Mercalli Scale.

Here's Daenerys just outside Yunkai/Aït Benhaddou in S03E10.

In terms of lives lost and number of injuries, this is the second worst earthquake in Moroccan history. Many historical and culturally significant buildings were damaged or destroyed.

CBS News has compiled a list of organizations providing relief to those affected by the earthquake and aftershocks. Keep in mind that local people were used as extras in those GoT Season 3 Morocco scenes.

Me before writing this GOT fic: this will mostly be about Sansa, my main squeeze, my best girl and beloved

Me while writing this GOT fic: so instead of the whole dumb shit that happens to Daenerys in seasons 5 & 6 what if instead she’s presiding over Meereen while it invents democracy so it can vote her out of the city. Along the way Meereen invents journalism and soccer.

#they will vote her out with love #but like… Daenerys’s whole relationship with ‘consent of the governed’ is SO WEIRD #and I would love for a story to actually have her walking her talk in re: ‘Meereen (and Yunkai and Astapor) should choose their own leaders #also lbr we all deserve some Game Of Thrones 1776 nonsense in our lives #starring Daenerys as BOTH John Hancock and King George #maybe a little of G Washington too #anyway this outline is already 130 pages #pray 4 me #game of thrones motherfuckers

"Slaves and servants lined the ways, while the slavers and their women donned their tokars to look down from their stepped pyramids."- Dany(ASOS III). Women do wear tokars. Dany stans can't read.

Good observation, anon!
