With Tyrion's help, a deal was made with the ghiscari nobility. Mereen would remain free. It would be governed by a council of freedmen, and the sellswords would stay behind and train a militia and a city guard. In the rest of Slaver's Bay, the masters would give the option of slaves to buy their freedom with hard work after a period of time. The dwarf even managed to convince the slavers to pay three hundred thousand golden yunkish marks in exchange for leaving Slaver's Bay immediately and never returning.
