Meereen

Meereen appears in the account as the site of the death pits associated with stories about Sandoq the Shadow. Its mention places the source of his fearsome reputation in a specific city, while the narrator cautions that the tales may have grown in the telling.

Mention in the Account

Sandoq was said to have won a hundred fights in Meereen’s death pits and to have fought dangerous beasts there using stones. These are reported claims about his past, not a detailed account of the pits or of events in the city.

Limits of the Evidence

The narrative explicitly questions how much of these stories can be believed. Meereen therefore serves as a setting within Sandoq’s uncertain legend; the passage provides no further description of the city or its inhabitants.
