Al final, sólo quedaron seiscientos... pero en aquel campo yacían muertos doce mil dothrakis, incluyendo al Khal Temmo, a sus jinetes de sangre, sus kos y todos sus hijos. En la mañana del cuarto día, el nuevo khal llevó a los supervivientes ante las puertas de la ciudad en procesión solemne. Uno por uno, todos los hombres se cortaron las trenzas y las tiraron a los pies de los Tres Mil. »

So I was doing a bit of research into what the dothraki should have more realistically looked like, to make my own kind of au of the dothraki, and while doing said research it was brought up that each Khalasar really should have a set territory that they migrate around.

That put me onto thinking what part of the dothraki sea Khal Drogo might have claimed, which prompted me to look up maps of what portion of Essos does the dothraki sea cover, and then I couldn't find any maps that were clear enough for my tastes, so I mashed together a map out of the maps on this site with a bit of elbow grease and created this!

Then, of course, I had to actually decide where to put Khal Drogo's territory, and while I was doing that I decided to throw in the rest of the territories too. The source I looked at says "There are two dozen or more khalasars on the Dothraki sea", so I jammed twenty-five of the suckers in there.

And last of all, Khal Drogo brought forth his own bride gift to her.

An expectant hush rippled out from the center of the camp as he left her side, growing until it had swallowed the whole khalasar.

When he returned, the dense press of Dothraki gift-givers parted before him, and he led the horse to her.

She was a young filly, spirited and splendid. Dany knew just enough about horses to know that this was no ordinary animal. There was something about her that took the breath away.

She was grey as the winter sea, with a mane like silver smoke.

Hesitantly she reached out and stroked the horse’s neck, ran her fingers through the silver of her mane.

Khal Drogo said something in Dothraki and Magister Illyrio translated. “Silver for the silver of your hair, the khal says.”

“She’s beautiful,” Dany murmured.

Jorah tells Dany about the tale of the Three Thousand of Qohor, and their stand against the Dothroki.

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this one!

"Yes" Dany admitted. Sad and lost. "Should I pleasure the Khaleesi?" Dany stepped away from her.

"No, Irri, you do not need to do that. What happened last night, when you woke. You're not a bed slave, I freed you, remember?"
