Synopsis
The khalasar enters Vaes Dothrak under the Mother of Mountains, passing all the relics of empires that have fallen to the Dothraki. Ser Jorah considers the chances of the Dothraki taking the Seven Kingdoms, and feels that they are fierce enough. Drogo has 40,000 warriors, the same number of men Rhaegar brought to the Trident. He mentions that the Dothraki have no patience for siegecraft, and if the armies of Westeros stayed behind their castle walls they could hold out forever. Daenerys asks if Robert Baratheon would be patient, and Jorah responds that the King should have been born Dothraki, that he would take the battle to the enemy. But his lords Tywin Lannister, Eddard Stark and Stannis Baratheon were too experienced in warfare to make that blunder. We learn how much Ser Jorah hates Ned. In Vaes Dothrak, no man may carry steel or spill blood. Daenerys intends to give Viserys gifts of clothes that would make him fit in with the Dothraki, and as an apology for his recent treatment. But Viserys is near insane, and spits upon the gifts, but when he moves to grab her, she hits him in the face with a belt. Viserys leaves in anger.
