The Dothraki Sea, is a vast landscape of steppes and plains. Save for Vaes Dothrak there are no roads, hills, or cities, leaving an ocean of unbroken rippling grass, for which the Dothraki Sea is named for. Over a hundred types of grass grows on the plains, that often grow thick and taller than a man's head and from afar look like a sea, as it rolls like waves in the breeze.[1][2] Some rivers run through the lands, though they are often shallow and shift with the seasons, overall sand is more prevalent than water.[2]
Its only city, an ancient ruin called Vaes Dothrak, lies at the heart of the Dothraki sea and is home to the Dothraki people, a nomadic and equestrian culture, who raid the surrounding lands. Other than that it is largely empty with packs of wild dogs, herds of free-ranging horses and rare hrakkar.
