4) Tyrion Rules Meereen (4 of 5)
Another exciting thing that fans are looking forward to in season 6 is seeing Tyrion rule Meereen. It remains to be seen if Varys is going to help Tyrion in ruling the city, similar to how he had helped him when he was Hand of the King. In the books Daenerys goes off with Drogon, and there is a large army waiting outside the walls of Meereen.
The army is mainly slaves from Yunkai and sellswords, who are led by those who want to see the return of slave trade in Slaver’s Bay and for Daenerys so surrender. Ser Barristan Selmy is trying to defend the city, but the Yunkai and sellswords have brought a contagious and deadly plague along with them. To compound matters they are catapaulting diseased corpses into the city, which has forced Ser Barristan to come out and meet them in open battle to defeat them once and for all.
It remains to be seen whether Tyrion faces the same kind of problems that Ser Barristan has to deal with in the novels, which would make ruling Meereen very challenging indeed for him.
