The Reeds are puzzled, because the Gift possesses good arable land but the countryside is empty. Gilly is amazed that Sam knows so much history just from reading books, insisting that he is a wizard (much to Sam's delight) and is awestruck when she finally catches a glimpse of the Wall.īran Stark and his group have passed far enough north that they have left the Seven Kingdoms proper, and entered into the Gift: a stretch of land south of the Wall which was gifted to the Night's Watch thousands of years ago by Brandon the Builder, from which the Watch draws support for its material needs. Sam explains that he plans to get them across the Wall using a secret sally-port which leads right into the Nightfort. Sam tells Gilly that they are a considerable distance west of Castle Black, but this isn't a problem, because this means they are close to the Nightfort, the original headquarters of the Night's Watch, which was abandoned centuries ago as the organization's numbers dwindled. Sam tells Gilly about a way to get through the wall. North of the Wall, Samwell Tarly and Gilly continue on their march south, after barely escaping an encounter with a White Walker during which Sam actually managed to kill the creature using a dragonglass dagger. He presents Yunkai's torn flag and triumphantly says the city is hers. After a suspenseful pause by Jorah, Daario strides into the room and kneels before the Queen. Daenerys is elated, but asks after Daario, who is still absent. Jorah and Grey Worm finally enter, covered in dust and gore but grinning widely: Yunkai is defeated. There are far more soldiers than Daario anticipated, much to Jorah's irritation, but it seems that the three are evenly matched - barely.Ī few hours later, an impatient Daenerys paces in her tent, asking Barristan how long a sacking of a city usually takes. That night Ser Jorah, Daario, and Grey Worm sneak into the city and fight their way through the slave soldiers guarding Yunkai. As the captains depart, Ser Barristan asks to go along, but Jorah reminds him that a Queensguard's place is at the Queen's side, regardless of his pride. Daario also touches her on her hand, flirting for her favor to him. Upon being encouraged to speak his mind, he says he does. Though Jorah Mormont is skeptical of both the plan and Daario's loyalty, Daenerys is convinced to try it when she asks Grey Worm if he trusts Daario. Her newest captain, Daario Naharis, suggests a plan using a lightly defended back gate, a small group can infiltrate the city and open the main gates for the rest of the army to invade. Outside the walls of Yunkai, Daenerys Targaryen and her commanders plan an attack on the city. House Frey joins forces with House Tully.
