Meereen is the largest city in Slaver's Bay, located south of the Dothraki Sea. It is currently ruled by House Targaryen.

Culture[]

Meereen is made up partially of pyramids, one of which is the Great Pyramid, and the city's architecture is known for its multicoloured bricks. Higher-class citizens sometimes live in pyramids. The city also has fighting pits, meant for spectator-style fights to the death. The largest one is called Daznak's Pit. They are well-known for slave trading, and even using slaves as currency.

History[]

In A Storm of Swords, Daenerys Targaryen takes the city by force but remains there and rules over its people, marrying Hizdahr zo Loraq.

In A Dance with Dragons, a group called Sons of the Harpy band together to overthrow Daenerys , partially due to her ending the slave trade and closing the fighting pits.
