==Behind the Scenes==
''[[w:Memento mori|Memento mori]]'' is a [[w:Latin|Latin]] phrase that means "remember that you die", which has been used as a meditative reminder since antiquity. As [[George R.R. Martin]] considers High Valyrian to be the [[known world]]'s cultural equivalent of Latin in the real world,<ref name="time">{{cite news |last=Tharoor |first=Ishaan |title=Tongues of Ice and Fire: Creating the Languages in ''Game of Thrones'' |url=http://entertainment.time.com/2013/05/03/tongues-of-ice-and-fire-creating-the-languages-of-game-of-thrones/ |publisher=Time.com |date=3 May 2013}}</ref> ''"valar morghulis"'' presumably serves as the equivalent to ''memento mori''.

In addition, ''[[w:Minas Morgul|Minas Morgul]]'' is the name of an evil city in ''[[w:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]'' by [[w:J. R. R. Tolkien|J.R.R. Tolkien]], a series that George R.R. Martin is a great fan of. However, rather than "death", the word "morgul" in Tolkien's languages means "[[sorcery]]" or "[[necromancy]]".<ref>[https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Morgul Tolkien Gateway: Morgul]</ref>
