Mirri Maz Duur was called a maegi by the Dothraki, a group seen with distain for their use of
blood magic.
However Daenerys did not share their concern and so allowed her to treat Drogo’s wounds
with her medicines.
The Khal at first allowed it, but came to find the treatment uncomfortable, tearing
off her work and replacing it with mud plaster.
The wound then grew infected, causing Drogo to weaken and fall of his horse, a sign that
a Khal could no longer fulfill his duties as a leader.
Daenerys then ordered Mirri to use bloodmagic in order to save his life, and she agreed
but warned that only death may pay for life.
The godswife then ordered that no one enter the tent during the ritual, but as they awaited
outside, the Khalasar erupted into fighting, with many believing Drogo was dead and others
objecting to the use of magic.
Daenerys became surrounded by violence as her personal soldiers and Jorah Mormont fought
to defend their position.
Daenerys then went into labor, passing out in Jorah’s arms, as he carried her inside
the tent to be treated by the Mirri who was still performing the ritual upon Drogo.
When Daenerys awoke, her child was dead, her husband alive though in a catatonic state
and the khalasar was gone, abandoning their fallen leader and choosing new khals to rule
them.
Left with only a few slaves and sworn warriors, Daenerys euthanized her husband to end his
suffering, then placing Drogo and her three dragon eggs in a funeral pyre along with Mirri
Maz Duur, who appeared to have purposely killed her son and husband, claiming that with them
gone they could no longer hurt innocent people.
And so Daenerys sentenced her to burn.
As a red comet appeared in the sky the fire was lit, and when the pyre alight Daenerys
fearlessly walked into the inferno.
In the morning when the fire burned out her servants searched among the ashes and found
Daenerys unharmed alongside three freshly hatched dragons, naming them Drogon, Rhaegal
and Viserion.
Travelling south Daenerys led her people to the city of Qarth, where she was invited to
stay in the palace of Xaro Xhoan Daxos who offered a marriage alliance only to be turned
down.
The Mother of Dragons was then rejected when attempting to convince the Pureborn rulers
of the city to join her cause.
She then met with a mysterious woman in a red mask named Quiathe who urged her to visit
the far eastern city of Asshai.
With few options left in Qarth, Daenerys turned to the warlock of the House of the undying,
visiting their tower alongside her dragon drogon.
There she saw a number of visions, and was told she will light three fires (one for life,
one for death, and one to love), ride three mounts (one to bed, one to dread, and one
to love), and face three In the end the warlocks attacked her, but
she was defended by Drogon who breathed fire upon them, allowing for Daenerys to escape.
No longer welcome in Qarth, an assassination attempt was made on her life, but she was
saved by a white haired man calling himself Arstan, who was sent by her former benefactor
Illyrio Mopatis along with 3 ships to take her home to pentos.
They hastily left the city but stopped in Astapor along slaver’s bay, before returning
to the Free Cities, still needing an army for her conquest of westeros.
During the voyage, Ser Jorah Mormont professed his love for Daenerys, but she did not return
his feelings.
She was however lonely since the death of her husband and so took her handmaiden Irri
as a lover.
Once arrived in Astapor she purchased every unsullied warrior available, slave soldiers
castrated at a young age and trained their whole lives for battle.
To pay for the army she gave them her dragon drogon, only to betray the slavers after the
deal went through, ordering her army new kill their former rulers and take the city.
The Good Masters of Astapor were quickly defeated and Daenerys freed every slave on of their
slaves, including her own soldiers, asking them to follow her as free men.
Leaving a council to rule the city, Daenerys Stormborn led with her new army to the nearby
city of Yunkai continuing her campaign to end slavery in the region.
The Wise Masters who rule Yunkai, having heard of the fall of Astapor, hired the Stormcrows
and Second Sons mercenary companies to strengthen their defenses.
However this city also fell to her forces, aided by the betrayal of Daario Naharis, who
killed the other 2 leaders of the Stormcrows, and joined Daenerys.
Once again she freed all slaves and earned yet another nickname, called Mhysa, meaning
mother by the local population.
She then took her army north to Meereen, the final city along slaver’s bay, where she
found that the Great Masters had nailed 163 slave children to mileposts.
Once arrived yet another assassination attempt was made on her life, but she was once again
saved by Arstan, who revealed himself to be Ser Barristan Selmy, former kingsguard of
westeros seeking to serve House Targaryen once more.
Ser Barristan also revealed that Ser Jorah Mormont was originally a spy sent by the court
of King Robert Baratheon.
Shocked that her 2 closest advisors were not who they seemed, she ordered that they go
on a mission to infiltrate Meereen through the sewers while the army attacked above,
in order to free the slaves in the city so they might revolt against their masters.
Although this was an extremely dangerous assignment that could easily have resulted in their deaths,
they successfully completed the mission, leading to the fall of the city.
Afterwards Daenerys forgave Ser Baristan for the deception but could not forgive Jorah,
and exiled him from meereen.
The Queen then nailed 163 Great Masters to posts in front of the great pyramid, as retribution
for the children they killed, and went about putting the city in order.
