Tyrion Arrives in Pentos

Tyrion Lannister, having fled King's Landing after killing his father Tywin and his lover Shae, arrives in Pentos hidden inside a wine cask. He is greeted by Magister Illyrio Mopatis, a grotesquely fat merchant prince who is an ally of Varys. Tyrion is given a bath, clean clothes, and a place to stay, but he is consumed by bitterness and a single, haunting question: 'Where do whores go?' He is suspicious of Illyrio's motives but accepts his hospitality, drinking heavily and contemplating his future.
