Vaes Dothrak is the only city of the Dothraki people. It is located beyond the vast Dothraki Sea, beneath the Mother of Mountains and near the lake, the Womb of the World. Vaes Dothrak has no walls. It is large enough to hold every khalasar if they all return at once. The city is ruled and inhabited by slaves and the dosh kaleen, the wives of all the khals who have come before. It is forbidden to wear a blade or shed a free man's blood within the confines of the city.

The City

It is at once one of the largest cities, due to its expansive layout, and one of the smallest, due to its small inhabitant population. It has broad, windswept streets paved in grass and mud. There are carved stone pavilions, manses of woven grass, wooden towers, stepped pyramids and log halls. All of the buildings were brought to the city by slaves from the lands the Dothraki have conquered.[1]

Markets

There are two markets. The Western Market is a grand bazaar used by traders from the Free Cities. It is a great square of beaten earth surrounded by mud-baked brick, animal pens and whitewashed drinking halls. Hummocks rise from the earth and beneath the square lie large storerooms. The interior of the square is made up of stalls and aisles.[2] In the Eastern Market the traders from Asshai, Yi Ti and the Shadow Lands come to trade.

Godsway

The godsway runs down the middle of the city, in a straight line towards the mountain. It is lined with monuments of gods taken from the people the Dothraki conquered.[3]

Gates

Horse Gate

It is made of two gigantic bronze stallions, rearing, their hooves meeting a hundred feet above the roadway to form an arch.[4]
