Dothraki Khalasar

The Dothraki are a minor faction found within Essos and is led by Khal Pono.
The horse-riders of the Dothrak do not have a 'motto,' however they use various guttural sounds to frighten their enemies.
Their map colour is Brown.

History

Following the “Doom of Valyria” the Dothraki came screaming out of the Dothraki Sea with a Vengeance. The Dothraki laid waste to cities of Qarth, Slaver’s Bay, Ibben, and Lhazar and all but annihilated the Kingdom of Sarnor. The Dothraki are fierce horse mounted nomadic warriors that know no equals. The Dothraki have a few advantages over their more civilized enemies that help them achieve victory. First, the Dothraki can live off the land except in areas of desert, snow, and ghost grass where they will require provisions. They also scare the majority of the enemies they face, giving them an initial advantage on the battlefield that can rapidly turn a battle into route in their favor.

Location

This particular Khalasar (clan) is situated between a fork in a river, far to the west in Essos. Their most immediate eighbor is Qohor to the north; they have tried and failed to raid these strange men, and lost. They also 'share' a vague border with the cities of Volantis to the South West. The Dothraki are at war with the zealots of Norvos, and can often be seen slaughtering the devout and sacking their cities. Some Khals and Bloodriders can be found far east as Pentos, receiving 'gifts' (bribes under any over word) to not raid the free cities.

Religion

The Dothraki in AWOIAF do not not have their religion featured, so 'worships no religion.' The Dothrak in the lore however, worships a deity known as the Great Stallion.

Troop Tree

Dothraki Troop Tree

The Dothraki are renowned horde riders and raiders, their tree is based around mobility an lightning strikes; all their units (besides the first few recruits) are equipped with a horse. Don't let the armourless warriors fool you, the riders are incredibly fast, and their unhorses unmatched. The best use of this army is to have your Horse Archers follow you, skirting, as the warriors charge.
