A masked insurgency that answers Meereen's liberation with a dagger in the dark — its membership, and its masters, a mystery this chronicle keeps carefully veiled.
History
This carries the band's part in the published novels. Read on only if you do not fear to know.
In the months after Daenerys Targaryen topples Meereen's slaving pyramids, hooded men wearing the golden mask of the harpy begin killing freedmen and the queen's own soldiers by night, striking always from shadow rather than any open field the Unsullied were bred to hold.
Suspicion falls in every direction the chronicle can find written down — on the dispossessed Great Masters, robbed at a stroke of both income and household; on Yunkishmen paying for mischief at a distance; on freedmen resentful of a liberty that has brought them more hunger than plenty — and Daenerys's own inquiries, so far as the published record shows, name no single conspirator with any certainty this chronicle is willing to repeat as fact.
The killings continue even after the queen weds Hizdahr zo Loraq and reopens Meereen's fighting pits in an attempt to buy the city's peace, a bargain whose ultimate success the story, as printed, has not yet resolved. This entry stops where the published books do.
These partings name deaths, endings, and roads not yet ridden in the books. Unveil them only if both roads are known to you — or if you do not fear to know.
