The Unburnt Martell Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So assuming the dothraki join Daenerys in some form or way and help her invade westeros, what do you guys think will happen next? where will they settle? I'm almost certain none of the lords would want dothraki, notorious for pillaging, to settle on their lands. what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daccu65 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think that the biggest mistake would be to consider the Dothraki to be a unified people. While I can see Dany gaining influence over one, maybe two of the Kalisars, I don't see the Dothraki as a whole following her...they are far too independent. In my humble opinion, any such Dothraki that accompany her to Westeros won't be as effective as she thinks. They have adapted their lifestyle to survive and even thrive on the Dothraki Sea. Here, they are almost unbeatable but in the foreign land, facing people who have adapted their lifestyle to the local, they will be at a severe disadvantage.  As per the OP, the local lords will not put up with the Dothraki settling their lands in Westeros. The Dothraki have a different language, culture and religion. Any interactions are going to be very tense and highly suspicious. Even if Dany puts down overt resistance, there is going to be a lot of covert resistance to the Dothraki presence.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter has come to Westeros already. Dothraki aren't suited (literally and figuratively) for that harshness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tower of albion Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dorne. They deserve each other. But Maybe they won't cross the narrow sea, just aid her in overthrowing the slavers before withdrawing back to the Dothraki sea. Like the army of dead ghost in Lord of the rings. (I've only seen the films are they in Tolkien's books?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSovereignGrave Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It would require a major shift in Dothraki thinking for them to settle anywhere. There's just really against any kind of sedentary culture. There's a reason why Sarnor and Essaria didn't become Dothraki tributaries during the Century of Blood, but were razed to the ground.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The Dothrakis are to Dany what the Wildlings are for Jon, a test to prove their leading abilities. They aren't there just for hoots and giggles. If Jon was able to continue Mance's work to unite them and bring them to Westeros, Dany will do the same. Dany's storyline is related to slavery. The chain of slavery begins with the Dothrakis, who are the ones slaving people and taking them to the Masters. If slavery is ever going to end, then Dany has to cut the head of the monster. Remember that the Dothrakis are very superstitious, and Dany isn't just arriving with three Dragons, but she will likely be acknowledged as the Stallion Who Mounts the World, one of their more respected figures. She's going to be pretty much a goddess to them. Either way, I don't see Dany transporting them all. She will do what she did with the Unsullied and ask them who will go with them. Unlike the Wildlings, not all of them need to go. Some will follow her with the promise of a new land, while others might either stay on their own will, or Dany will ask them to stay to rebuild Slaver's Bay.

kimim Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Westeros is looking at famine, long night, possibly a few plagues, and a zombie apocalypse. By the time all that is over, half the population might be dead. I'm sure Dothraki will find a place to settle. Ditto for the wildlings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will be the last standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
