Slaver's Bay - Map Detailed (Game of Thrones)

[@unemilifleur]

I didn’t know Daenerys’ ancestors enslaved the ancestors of the slavers in slavers bay. That’s pretty ironic.

[@SantomPh]

Valyria was built on dragons and slaves, which is why 7 out of 9 Free Cities still practice it (Braavos and Pentos do not, although only Braavos is truly free).

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

no, Valyria only started to use slaves after Ghis was destroyed by them and they "learned" about slavery.

[@thedragondemands]

I've always been kind of interested in Tolos and Elyria (and Mantarys) - these remnants of "Valyria" itself that aren't really part of the Free Cities or Slaver's Bay. And you covered those in the "Valyria" video so I understand they only get brief mention here. But it's so odd: how they were technically not part of Slaver's Bay and the Ghiscari at first, but after the Doom, Tolos and Elyria kind of drifted into the political orbit of the rest of "slaver's bay" (the geographical feature). Wish the books would give more info.

[@therabbi9848]

Love your in-depth criticism of the many shortcomings of the TV show

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

It makes sense - places like Mantarys were sort-of first-line colonies. Colonies gotta mercantile - if daddy Valyria's gone up in flames then mama Ghiscar will have to suffice. Power follows the trade routes and the 'The Demon Road' is one of those - though I don't think there's enough caravan insurance in the world to get me to work that route.

[@ExtraVictory]

I was born in Japan, a free country. and then lived in China for a while, a total black hole of personal freedoms & free speech. The truth is, they were not that different in daily life, the differences emerged in more subtle ways, like I don't know Chinese for instance, which was definitely a problem (but technology and my family having money helped) or the lack of people using normal internet & social medias, a lot of people being so suppressed or brainwashed they have given up on freedom or prosperity and just work 996, air quality being pretty bad sometimes, or so on. Even it you multiplied all of that, Astapor would still not be comparable to Beijing in almost any way lol. but the idea that modern Arab nations are comparable to Astapor also seems ludicrous based on my experiences at least, where Beijing was kinda awesome with some downsides not hell on earth lol

I wonder how long after daeny and her dragons left slavers bay/bay of dragons did the slave masters take it back??? She had massive issues while she was there...and she had all 3 of her dragons since the night king had not killed viserion yet...she also had 8 to 10,000 unsullied and 2,000 second sons...she didnt get all those dothraki until right before she finally set sail for westeros....she left daario and the second sons behind to maintain order...she couldn't maintain order with her full might for very long...i highly doubt the second sons held it...there is also the fact that the second sons is a sellsword company...and sellswords dont have the best rep...also she sorta spurned daario after basically leading him on for a very long time....im sure daario tried to do as she wanted but i doubt it worked...im not even gonna mention how the show runners turned her from savior to evil tyrant in like 2 episodes...yeah those last 2 seasons in particular were a mess...i still enjoy them...but it still makes me angry how they took a wonderful program and rushed it so bad they completely butchered all the crap that came before!!! They attempted to ruin dorne...and while i guess its the least popular of the 7 kingdoms(there is actually like 9 kingdoms)...but while book 4 was by far the slowest read of all of them...the dorne chapters were terrific!!! I was so excited for arianne martel and the show just scrubbed her and quentyn...its stupid...if they had included those 2 characters and done dorne correctly...heck that is a seasons worth of material alone right there...now we got house of the dragon attempting to retcon things...but we have already seen how all of it allegedly plays out in the show...im glad dan and dave did not get to do the star wars program they rushed GOT so badly so they could begin working on it...they done butchered 1 franchise they helped bring into live action...i dont want them butchering anymore!!! Keep them away from any more beloved franchises or series!!! Star wars been butchered enough since disney took over anyway....hard to believe its been 3 or 4 years since that let down of a final season....

[@twstf8905]

Daenerys didn't spend a few seasons in Slaver's Bay, "learning to be a ruler." She was learning to be a revolutionary, and a conqueror. Daenerys didn't begin learning how to be a ruler until she had quelled the political opposition, and then established her residence atop the great pyramid of Meereen. It was upon receiving word that the fragile system she had tentatively established in Astapor, Yunkai, and Qarth had all crumbled, all but erasing her gains, that she finally made the critical decision to postpone her voyage of conquest across the Narrow Sea to Westeros. That instead she would remain in Slaver's Bay at least until the world she had worked so hard to build was more realized. She spent a few seasons in Slaver's Bay knocking down the ancient system of corruption and oppression. She only spent about half of a season, in total, learning to be a ruler. It's a good thing, too. By the time she did sail to Westeros she had changed the entire social and political order, and name of the, "Bay of Dragons." Augmented her military force with thousands more Dothraki Screamers, an thousand ships, including the former master's and the Iron Fleet, and had made a critical Westerosi alliance with the Dornish, Iron Born, the Tyrell matriarchy of the Reach, and three almost fully grown Dragons. It is probably safe to assume whatever, "Revolution," she would have brought to Westeros, had she decided to leave when she originally intended, would most likely have been crushed and fizzled out, and the entirety of Slaver's Bay returned to the Slavers. By having the wisdom, while still in Essos, to recognize that being a conqueror isn't the same as being a ruler, she has subsequently improved her chances for success CONSIDERABLY in Westeros.

I haven't finished the vid yet, but I assume by cut you mean castrate. Testosterone isn't completely tied to the testicles. Women not only can be muscular, but have testosterone as well. Women just have more estrogen and men have more testosterone, but we both have both hormones. Muscle largely depends mostly on exercise and diet. For the most part, protein = muscle.

That's what people keep telling me about that's how the golden company managed to beat the unsullied at Qohor. That a unit could never be too full man because they lack testosterone which I think is just complete BS when you stop and think about it.

[@magicman3400]

Hasan Wilson the golden company beat the unsullied cause those unsullied had grown fat and useless though in an open battle they most likely would beat the unsullied cause of the versatility the sack of qohor was because of the fact those unsullied had grown weak not cause of tes but that’s why the unsullied have to use tight and stable formations to make up for their lack of tes.

[@SantomPh]

The Unsullied of Qohor were but the city watch, the Golden Company are trained soldiers and virtually an army on their own. The lore says they sacked the city but it does not say they conquered it- perhaps they convinced the rulers to surrender rather than go all out.

[@magicman3400]

SantomPh they had a closed city and they had unsullied training they with a huge advantage

[@davidjones272]

Testosterone is important to the development of the male physique including muscle mass, so yes in reality the unsullied would be physically weaker than non eunuchs who had similarly physical roles. They would also all have high voices mind.

[@factbeaglesarebest]

Uh... no it is quite correct. Testes produce testosterone which causes men to grow more muscular. There’s a reason Eunichs were historically used as advisors. Chop off a boys balls (pre puberty) and they will not grow like a balled individual.
