Khal is a title that the Dothraki use to designate the leader of a khalasar, a nomadic clan-like grouping. The Khal is usually considered the strongest or most fierce of a khalasar, and his wife is called a Khaleesi. To become a khal, a Dothraki warrior must perform tremendous feats of bravery. The heir to a khalasar is named the khalakka [1] It is said that if a Khal cannot ride, he cannot lead. When a khal dies, his khaleesi joins the dosh khaleen to rule the Dothraki nation with them. Even the mightiest khals bow down before the authority and wisdom of the dosh khaleen.[1]

Khals tend to keep trusted companions known as bloodriders, who are so loyal that they will end their own life if the khal is killed.
