Daenerys’ Reign of Terror Didn’t End with her Death

In the almost year since the end of Game of Thrones, there has been a lot of jokes, memes, and theories about what will happen to Westoros and its people after everything was said and done. People have talked about the Night’s Watch and Beyond the Wall, the North, Dorne, pretty much every place left a bit open-ended.

But very few people have talked about what happens outside of Westoros, to people and places who aren’t invested in the continent. These are also the people most affected by Daenerys and her journey, and are also the most people of color we see in the show.

Looking into it, it’a pretty grim reality.

The Unsullied:

(note: I’m counting the Unsullied separately because they’ve behave and been treated as their own entity throughout the show.)

As we all know, the Unsullied were enslaved soldiers forced to live, fight, and die for the Good Masters of Astapor. Daenerys came along and “freed” them. Now, one can argue that they chose to follow her of their own free will, but the fact is that Daenerys never actually gave them the option to walk away from the life of a soldier. She gives her word that no harm will come to them, but she doesn’t offer these men, who own nothing, who don’t know HOW to own anything, any money, food, water, or resources to live the life of freedmen.

Daenerys takes them across the Narrow Sea to Westoros, to a continent they’ve never been to and couldn’t care less about. They fight and die for a throne they’ve never seen and never wanted. Then Daenerys dies.

What exactly are they meant to do now? Who are they meant to fight for? All those years in Daenerys’ service, and still nothing to indicate they’ve been taught what it means to be a freedman.

The show ends letting us know that, under the leadership of Grey Worm (the only Unsullied soldier we ever see shown any humanity or concern by Daenerys), the Unsullied will go to Naath to fulfill Missandei’s dream of going there and providing protection. It’s supposed to imply a happy, if not bittersweet ending. Thinking about it a bit deeper, however, shows that’s not exactly the case.

There are two scenarios that can happen for the Unsullied, based entirely on whether or not you believe that the poisonous butterflies that reside in Naath from the books is tv canon or not.

If the butterflies are canon (which Jacob Anderson, the actor who plays Grey Worm, seems to believe), then the truth of the matter is the Unsullied are wiped out almost immediately after arriving to Naath, with the Naathi no less in danger than they were before. Slavers continue to pick people up off the shores that continue to go unprotected.

If the butterflies aren’t canon (which the show seems to suggest considering Missandei encourages Grey Worm to return with her to Naath), then at best the Naathi are protected for at least half a generation (assuming all of the current Unsullied are at least in their twenties) by a group of soldiers who will live their entire lives not knowing true freedom, blindly following a leader who will live out the rest of his life harboring unresolved anger and hatred from being forced to watch the one person he ever got the chance to love executed for the sake of someone else’s ambitions. As the best case scenario, this seems much more bitter than sweet.

Slaver’s Bay:

I’m combining the cities of Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen because they’re fates are quite interconnected. I am also specifically calling this region “Slaver’s Bay” instead of “The Bay of Dragons” because of it’s most likely fate.

Daenerys left Slaver’s Bay almost immediately after getting the former masters to submit. She did not wait to see if the peace would last or if the former masters were simply re-strategizing, she simply assumed that her dragons were enough to force a peace…..and then promptly took her dragons and left. It is pretty much guaranteed that the former masters resumed their plans to regain power the moment they heard that the dragon queen was long gone.

There are also two likely scenarios based entirely on the decisions of one man: Daario Naharis

In the first, slightly more optimistic scenario, Daario is loyal to Daenerys and follows her orders, trying to aid in constructing a government from scratch. Considering the man has freely admitted he has no mind for politics, it can’t be imagined that this goes well, and the former masters attack once again, this time in all out war. It’s hard to see any other outcome except that the freed people of Slaver’s Bay, with no Unsullied, no Dothraki, no dragons, only whatever might be left of the Second Sons to protect them, are sadly re-enslaved. The old masters kill those who try to fight back, and create a system of slavery even harsher and stricter than the one before, with the intent to kill any more dreams of freedom.

In the less optimistic scenario, Daario, who’s proven his loyalties change on a whim, who freely admitted he does not care for the people in Slaver’s Bay before being jilted and put in charge of its government, refuses to aid the freed men of Slaver’s Bay, and freely allows the former masters to commit a massacre throughout the three cities before regaining power. He might even be paid handsomely for it.

In both cases, slavery returns to the bay with a harsher hand than before, effectively making it worse than it was before it was freed. All whispers of another revolution die when news reaches Slaver’s Bay that Daenerys Targaryen will never return to help them.

The Dothraki Sea:

The scenarios for the Dothraki people are possibly the most tragic.

When Daenerys killed every Dothraki khal in the khalar vezhen, she wasn’t just killing Dothraki leaders, but Dothraki protectors. She took each and every fighting man the Dothraki had to offer, named them all her bloodriders, and carried them off to fight a war that, like the Unsullied, they had no investment in. 

We’re supposed to see this as some great military victory on her part, but this ignores some pretty crucial people: The women, children, elderly, and disabled among the Dothraki. We don’t see any of them with Daenerys during her conquering in Westoros, so it’s pretty safe to assume they were all left behind in Vaes Dothrak. It’s possible they stayed in the city, waiting for their husbands and fathers to come home.

Unfortunately, that leads us again to two scenarios with the same results.

The first scenario, much like with the Unsullied, depends on whether book canon is expected to crossover onto the show, despite never being mention. This is the Dothraki rule that all bloodriders must seek vengeance for their slain khal before commiting suicide themselves. If this is considered canon within the show, then it can be assumed that a mass suicide took place not long after Daenerys died and the remaining Dothraki (however many were left after they were massacred in the Long Night) were told that they would not be allowed to kill Jon Snow. If this is not considered canon, then the Dothraki men are trapped on a continent that is not their home, either expected to figure out how to commandeer and sail their own boats home, which during the winter would almost guarantee them dying at sea, or were eventually killed off by Westorosi soldiers for pillaging Westorosi cities and villages.

In either scenario, those left in the Dothraki Sea will be unable to defend themselves, leaving them wide open to killers and slavers.

Essentially, Daenerys committed a complete genocide of the Dothraki people, succeeding in wiping all of them out and destroying every remnant of culture they had.

Daenerys’ reign of terror did not die with her, and from the ruins of Old Valeryia all the way to the Red Waste (all this assuming Qarth was able to establish some sort of government after Daenerys killed the remaining rulers and sacked the city), her atrocities will be felt for generations to come.

Unexpected Consequences (Chapter 1)

Just a look at some of the people who were left in Daenerys’ wake throughout her journey.

Heavily based on the show, so sorry if it doesn’t match up with stuff from the books.

~~~

She remembers Khal Drogo’s wedding to the white-haired foreign girl. It was a happy event, everyone fighting and fucking and celebrating. Still, she couldn’t help but notice how scared the bride, her new khaleesi, looked that day. She thought it was odd. The girl should be happy, she was marrying the fiercest khal in all of the Dothraki Sea. And from what she’s heard, he wasn’t a cruel lover. He didn’t take any pleasure from the pain of his partners, like she heard other khals did. It was strange, the girl’s fear, but she didn’t think much of it after that day.

–

She was horrified the day Khal Drogo died. She had already been distrustful of the khaleesi’s plan to venture into the poisoned sea for the sake of some iron chair. She knew her father was a great warrior, but the Dothraki had never traveled past their vast plains before, and she was fearful of what they might find in the places even their horses wouldn’t go. But her khal said it would bring them glory, so who was she to question it?

The day Khal Drogo died was filled with fighting within the khalasar, and then the khaleesi was performing forbidden blood-magic on their beloved khal, no matter how many times the bloodriders begged her not to. And then he died.

–

She left when the khaleesi said they could. That they could leave without suffering the same fate as the khal and his bloodriders. It pained her to leave behind some of the people she had known her whole life. But she didn’t trust this foreign khaleesi, who had brought nothing but devastation since the day Khal Drogo married her.

Still, she couldn’t help but look back one last time, before she left the khalasar forever. She turned around just in time to see the fires envelope the Lhazareen witch in its flames. Even from this distance she could hear the screams. She turned back around and made up her mind then and there.

She would not come back.

–

Time has gone by, and the years have been good to her. She found a new khalasar to follow and married a bloodrider to a strong khal. She even has a little boy, with another one on the way. For the most part, she’s been able to keep the thoughts of the demise of her last kahlasar at bay.

Today they are in Vaes Dothrak for the Khalar vezhen. Her husband takes charge of the khalasar while their khal meets with the others. Her husband tells her that he heard the khals will be discussing the issue of a former khaleesi who did not join the Dosh Khaleen after her husband died. She briefly remembers all of customs and traditions that were broken before the fall of her last khalasar and thinks Good. Customs must be upheld.

She spends most of her evening with the khaleesi, wandering the markets and watching their children play. The khaleesi wants to gossip about the Khalar vezhen, and the trial to come. She assures the khaleesi her husband would never leave her alone and unprotected in that way, should their precious khal ever fall. She soon finds herself desperate to change the subject, not wanting to think about losing another khal.

Instead they talk about how uniquely bountiful the past year has been, raiding those cities by the water. It seems the people there have lost their defenses, and have no leader to protect them. Oh well. She says. All the easier to raid.

–

She smells the fire before she sees. She looks out and sees giant flames, bigger than the ones seared in her memory forever, and far more terrifying. She runs, and soon finds herself facing her temple. The temple where she found refuge when her khalasar fell apart into nothing. The temple where she celebrated her new khaleesi when she was pregnant with her baby. The temple where she would pray that she may never feel the uncertainty she felt after she lost everything. The temple, now burning with great fire, filled with the screams of every khal in the Dothraki Sea.

The doors opened, and out walked not a single Dothraki khal, but the same white-haired demon that destroyed her last khalasar. She walked out of the burning temple, untouched by the fired burning down the house of their god, standing over the Dothraki people.

All she could do was fall to her knees and pray that the girl wouldn’t kill her next.

–

The white-haired girl takes all of the Dothraki fighting men, her husband included. She hears once more of the poison seas and of iron chairs, and it’s all she can do not to rip her own hair out. The day her husband leaves he promises he will come back, sacks full of riches and the gods of their enemies to add to the Godsway.

He would not come back.
