End of Season 5 and Book-Informed Season 6 Predictions: Essos (Dany, Meereen, Bravos)

NOTE:  My guesses and context include book spoilers and some theorized fan theories. Do not read if you object to spoilers, even though very little of this is sure—prophecies can be tricky things, after all.  

This image is called Daenarys and Tyrion and Wine (all is right)

Dany and Tyrion 

I have adored these two (possibly half-siblings) getting to know each other, becoming impressed with each other, realizing they might be a good team. And in spite of a few inconsistency questions, if I stop over-analyzing, I really loved the fighting pit scene and Dany taking off on Drogon. Tyrion is now a believer. Never again can he play full skeptic about what Dany is capable of.  

Now for predictions, we have to split in two:   

Dany Season 6 She is surrounded by Dothraki. Leaving her ring “bread crumb” for Jorah and Daario to find, they still are likely to take Dany to Vaes Dothrak, where widows of Khals are supposed to live out their lives as a sort of wise counsel. Honored, but in a way, enslaved, as leaving is not an option.  

From HERE, I think Drogon will rescue here.

Here is why from Mirri Maz Duur: 

"When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east," said Mirri Maz Duur. "When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before." 

 The sun, in this prophecy, is thought to be Quentin Martell (not in the show, Dorne has a sun with a spear on its sigel) who comes to Dany with a letter regarding a marriage contract (but she has already promised to marry Hizdar). Quentin, in an attempt to impress her, tries to free Viserion and Rhaegal and is instead burned to death… so he rose in the west (Dorne) and set in the east (Meereen).

The seas going dry are probably the Dothraki grass sea. (has not happened yet, but certainly could as the climate changes.

Vaes Dothrak is described as a mountain by Dany. And if a certain dragon set the whole thing on fire, the ashes would indeed blow in the wind.

Finally: In the books, before she is surrounded, she seems to miscarry (in spite of thinking she is barren)   Now I don’t see Drogo actually returning like he was but I do believe at some point all these conditions will be met in the books--maybe it is her doom--maybe she will die in childbirth an return to Drogo. It was very common in the 15th century, which seems about the equivalent. If it happens, it will be at the very end (and Jon's son).

 So what does that mean for the show in season 6? 

I think she will be taken to Vaes Dothrak and rescued by Drogon and somewhere in there is the epiphany that SHE isn’t needed to rule Meereen. She freed them. She can leave Greyworm and Missendei to rule and it is time for her to go to Westeros. The Dothraki, seeing her power with her dragon, will join to follow her, giving her the only army in the world bigger than the army of the dead. The season will end with her taking this army back to Westeros.  

Enter Euron Greyjoy (well not now—back there a ways—it is HIS ships that give her Dothraki army their ride)

 A pirate is being cast for next year. In the books Euron has been exiled. He returns home THE SAME DAY his brother Balon dies under suspicious circumstances. Balon is Theon and Asha’s (Yara) father—self declared king (the same one who banished Euron). So with Theon missing, Euron and Asha/Yara have a King’s Moot (contest) for who inherits rule and Euron wins, promising… catch this… that he has a horn that can control DRAGONS so he will deliver all of Westeros to the Iron Born. In the book there is a second brother and they split up (the 2nd not happy about it) but I think in the show, Euron will head toward Dany, intent on marrying and ruling Westeros with her.  The proposal will go something like this:  "You've got dragons, I've got the horn to control them. Let's go kick ass."

Quaithe is a priestess from Asshai, a shadowbinder

Want another Dany Prophecy? 

This one from Quaithe

No. Hear me, Daenerys Targaryen. The glass candles are burning. Soon comes the pale mare, and after her the others. Kraken and dark flame, lion and griffin, the sun’s son and the mummer’s dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the Undying. Beware the perfumed seneschal."   

Glass candles are how the people in Asshai “see” (much like Greenseers and the Weirwoods)

The pale mare is plague (grey scale in the show)

Euron is the kraken, Dark Flame is potentially Mocorro (a red priest with Euron)
Lion is Tyrion
Griffin is Jon Connington (not in the show)
Sun’s Son (I mentioned above—Quentin)
And Mummer’s Dragon (probably Aegon—not truly a Targaryen, but also not in the show)

 She is reminded to remember her visit to the house of undying.

The Undying call her "mother of dragons" and "child of three" and tell her some prophesies, saying "three fires must you light... one for life and one for death and one to love... three mounts must you ride... one to bed and one to dread and one to love... three treasons will you know... once for blood and once for gold and once for love..."   

Let’s break that down. Child of three? This is unclear. Mother of dragons however, is not.

"three fires must you light... one for life and one for death and one to love... [pyre that birthed her dragons, not sure if the others have been lit yet but the second may be her burning of the Dosh Khaleen at Vaes Dothrak which I think earns her back a real Khalizar which she can ride into Meereen and enforce her peace]

three mounts must you ride... one to bed and one to dread and one to love... [Silver (her wedding gift from Drogo ridden to her wedding bed), feasibly Drogon #2 though Euron's ship may be it, and the last not yet fulfilled or may  be Drogo once she masters him],

three treasons will you know... once for blood and once for gold and once for love..." [Mirri Maz Dur is probably the first, the second in the books may be Brown Ben Plum and the final I am guessing will be Daario or MAYBE Jon (if he has to sacrifice his love to become Azor Ahai—she is feasibly a very fitting sacrifice and I can see these two falling in love)]

But I'm digressing here. It is in sheer speculation mode...

 So what of Tyrion?

In the books he hasn't met her yet. In the show it is clearly setting him up to play Barristan Selmy's role of keeping peace and ruling while she is gone. I believe he will be GOOD at it and by the time Dany returns with her Khalizar, Greyworm and Missendei will be set to rule and Tyrion will go to Westeros with Dany. I believe Euron, being Euron, will take them through Asshai where it is prophecied Dany will find TRUTH. Maybe that truth is that Tyrion is her brother. Maybe that truth is that Rhaegar has a living son... (maybe she will THINK that is Aegon, but it is not) Anyway, all a bit fuzzy, but those are the things I am incorporating into my speculation.
