Lord Reaver Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 As I recall, the Iron born thralls need to go through some brutal sacrifice for their kids to be born free. The "drowning" of newborn babies means they are submerged briefly in salt water. Terrible ! Horrible! So brutal ! :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Blue Eyes Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The "drowning" of newborn babies means they are submerged briefly in salt water. Terrible ! Horrible! So brutal ! :bang: So very terrible. The salt, it makes it so very terrible. Especially compared to that nice, tepid unsalted water half the population of the world experienced.

Ser Lepus Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 There is probably a slave triangle type trade. The boats selling luxury goods in Westeros are probably slave ships as well. Ships buy slaves in Meereen, They sell them in Volantis. They buy luxury goods in Volantis, they sell them on the west coast of Westeros (mainly at Lannisport). They get good quality gold form selling in Lannisport and use it to buy slaves in Meereen and maybe sell the Meereenese some Westeros goods. At every stage they are making a profit, buying cheap and selling steep. They can just keep going round and round until they get very rich. Oldtown and the Reach are on the western coast to, so that's another reason to visit that side of the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 You do realize that in-universe, nobody expected anyone to turn into a mindless zombie anywhere? It came as quite a surprise to the NW, and people south of the Wall generally still don't believe this is a real possibility. true, but I'm basing this on given what we know not the characters both faits seem to suck equally if you ask me. I mean just look how many guys in The Night's Watch have died horrible deaths in this series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
