[[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]] moves through the trampled fields filled with the dead and wounded around the burning town of the Lamb Men, or [[Lhazareen]]. [[Khal]] [[Ogo]]’s ''[[khalasar]]'' had been attacking the town when Khal [[Drogo]] had arrived. Daenerys remembers that Khal Ogo was among those who shared the high bench at the [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 46|feast]] when [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] was crowned. However, this is not [[Vaes Dothrak]].  
 +
 
 +
Daenerys suspects that some of the villagers probably mistook them for deliverance, but once Khal Ogo had been defeated Drogo’s ''khalasar'' had plundered the town just as badly.
 +
 
 +
Now the captives from both the village and Ogo’s ''khalasar'' are being collected for slaves. The Dothraki captives do not seem to fear slavery, but the villagers are different, stumbling in fear and sorrow. The Lhazareen look similar to the Dothraki, but now Daenerys can see the difference. The thousands of slaves they have captured will be exchanged for gold to pay ships for the invasion of [[Westeros]].
 +
 
 +
Ser [[Jorah Mormont]] meets her at the entrance to the village. The knight brings news that Drogo has killed Khal Ogo and [[Fogo|his son]], taking only minor wounds. He also informs Daenerys that most of the rival ''khalasar'' has fled, but there could still be as many as 10,000 captives. Ser Jorah goes on to say he has suggested they drive the slaves south to [[Meereen]] where they will fetch a better price; more than enough gold to hire the ships they need to reach the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. As she watches the carnage around her, Daenerys can only think about it being the price of the [[Iron Throne]].
 +
 
 +
The scenes of rape that she witnesses disturb Daenerys the most. She orders Ser Jorah, and her [[khas|bodyguards]] [[Jhogo]] and [[Quaro]] to stop the rape of a [[Eroeh|wailing girl]]. Ser Jorah tries to explain that this is not wise since she is depriving the riders of their reward for shedding blood for their ''khal''. Jhogo and Quaro point out that the Dothraki believe the girl should be honored and even Daenerys’ handmaid [[Irri]] agrees. Daenerys is not dissuaded and commands  Ser Jorah and the others to stop the rape. Ser Jorah declares that she truly is [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]’s sister and obeys.
 +
 
 +
To stop the rape requires the death of two of the rapers. When asked what to do with the raped girl, Daenerys commands [[Doreah]] to tend to her hurts, mainly because the blonde-haired [[Lys|Lysene]] girl does not look Dothraki. Daenerys then continues on into the city and begins to rescue all of the other rape victims she sees. Ser Jorah tries to explain that she cannot save them all, but Daenerys refuses to believe him.
 +
 
 +
Daenerys finds Drogo with an arrow through his arm and an ''[[arakh]]'' cut that has taken off one of his nipples. Drogo insists that they are only scratches and tells her that he personally slew not only Khal Ogo, but also his son [[Fogo]], who was ''khal'' after Ogo. Daenerys praises her husband.
 +
 
 +
Then a warrior named [[Mago]], who rides with the ''[[khas]]'' of ''[[Ko]]'' [[Jhaqo]] rides up with angry words about Daenerys’ actions. After listening to both sides, Drogo explains to Daenerys that this is the way of war. Daenerys insists that the Lhazareen women should be made wives and given a place in the ''khalasar''. A [[bloodrider]] named [[Qotho]] asks haughtily if a horse breeds with sheep, but Daenerys replies that a dragon feeds on both horse and sheep. Drogo laughs at this and proclaims that his son inside her that has made Daenerys fierce. The ''khal'' goes on to tell Mago to find another lamb to mount, as these belong to the ''[[khaleesi]]''.
 +
 
 +
When Drogo reaches out to Daenerys, he winces and Daenerys cries for the healers. She is told that Drogo sent the healers away to tend the more grievously wounded. It is now that [[Mirri Maz Duur]], one of the Lhazareen women Daenerys rescued, speaks up, saying she can help. [[Aggo]] is about to cut her throat when Daenerys demands that the woman, who wears the remains of fine clothing, be allowed to speak. Mirri Maz Duur explains that she is a healer and [[godswife]]. Drogo’s [[bloodrider|bloodriders]] mistrust her, calling her a healer of sheep, and name her a [[Maegi]].
 +
 
 +
Daenerys asks Mirri Maz Duur how she learned to become a healer, and the godswife states that she has learned from many including a [[Marwyn|maester]]. The learning from a [[maester]] immediately interests Ser Jorah, and he asks for details. Ser Jorah then tells Daenerys that maesters know much of healing.
  
Ser [[Jorah Mormont]] meets her at the entrance to the village. He had been mocked as a coward when he donned the armor, but he exchanged insults, and a Dothraki ride fell before Ser Jorah. He has the news that Drogo had killed the Khal and his son, and taken wounds. He also tells Daenerys  that most of Khal Oga’s khalizar fled, but there could be 10,000 captives, continuing that he has told Drogo that they should sell the slaves at [[Meereen]]; they will pay better than a slaving caraven, and a plague there has increased prices. This will bring them all the gold they need for the ships. Daenarys can only think about this being the price of the [[Iron Throne]], while listening to the wails of a girl being raped. Daenarys orders Ser Jorah, [[Jhogo]] and [[Quaro]] stop the rape. Ser Jorah tries to tell her it is not wise since the men have shed blood for the Khal and this is their reward and then [[Jhogo]] and [[Quaro]] tell her that it is considered an honor the riders are giving the girl, with [[Irri]] concurring. She is not dissuaded and Ser [[Jorah Mormont|Jorah]] to help, he tells her that she is truly [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]]’s sister.. Two of the rapers have are killed and the other scatter, muttering.

Mirri Maz Duur continues by stating that the [[Great Shepherd]] sent her to earth to heal all his lambs. Drogo finally speaks up and permits the godswife to heal him. Mirri Maz Duur suggest that the healing magic will be stronger inside her temple. Drogo rises to walk and refuses [[Haggo|Haggo’s]] offer to aid him. Seeing that her husband is weak, Daenerys moves up to help him telling him she is no man so can help him.  
  
Daenerys finds Drogo with an arrow through his arm and an [[Arakh]] cut that had taken his nipple, and left a flap of skin hanging. Drogo tells Daenerys that he only has scratches. Then a warrior, [[Mago]], who rides with [[Khas]] of [[Ko]] [[Jhaqo]] rides up with angry words for Drogo about Daenerys actions. After Drogo hears the rider he listens to his wife. After he tells her that this is the way of war, she states that they should be made wives and given places in the [[khalasar]]. [[Qotho]] asks Daenerys if a horse breeds with sheep and Daenerys replies that the horse and sheep feed the dragon. Drogo laughs that it is the son inside Daenerys that makes her so fierce, and tells Mago to find another lamb to mount; these belong to the Khaleesi. When Drogo reaches out to her, he winces and Daenerys cries for the healers. She is told that the healers are treating others, that Drogo states that his injuries are just scratches and should be healed first.

Daenerys VIII


Khal Drogo’s khalasar has defeated another khalasar, capturing a town and many captives. When Daenerys sees Dothraki warriors raping the women, she intervenes. When she finds Drogo, Daenerys is concerned about her husband’s wounds and calls for the healers. Mirri Maz Duur, one of the women she has rescued, speaks up that she is a healer, and Drogo agrees to let her tend to his wounds in her temple.

Synopsis

Daenerys moves through the trampled fields filled with the dead and wounded around the burning town of the Lamb Men, or Lhazareen. Khal Ogo’s khalasar had been attacking the town when Khal Drogo had arrived. Daenerys remembers that Khal Ogo was among those who shared the high bench at the feast when Viserys was crowned. However, this is not Vaes Dothrak.

Daenerys suspects that some of the villagers probably mistook them for deliverance, but once Khal Ogo had been defeated Drogo’s khalasar had plundered the town just as badly.

Now the captives from both the village and Ogo’s khalasar are being collected for slaves. The Dothraki captives do not seem to fear slavery, but the villagers are different, stumbling in fear and sorrow. The Lhazareen look similar to the Dothraki, but now Daenerys can see the difference. The thousands of slaves they have captured will be exchanged for gold to pay ships for the invasion of Westeros.

Ser Jorah Mormont meets her at the entrance to the village. The knight brings news that Drogo has killed Khal Ogo and his son, taking only minor wounds. He also informs Daenerys that most of the rival khalasar has fled, but there could still be as many as 10,000 captives. Ser Jorah goes on to say he has suggested they drive the slaves south to Meereen where they will fetch a better price; more than enough gold to hire the ships they need to reach the Seven Kingdoms. As she watches the carnage around her, Daenerys can only think about it being the price of the Iron Throne.

The scenes of rape that she witnesses disturb Daenerys the most. She orders Ser Jorah, and her bodyguards Jhogo and Quaro to stop the rape of a wailing girl. Ser Jorah tries to explain that this is not wise since she is depriving the riders of their reward for shedding blood for their khal. Jhogo and Quaro point out that the Dothraki believe the girl should be honored and even Daenerys’ handmaid Irri agrees. Daenerys is not dissuaded and commands Ser Jorah and the others to stop the rape. Ser Jorah declares that she truly is Rhaegar Targaryen’s sister and obeys.

To stop the rape requires the death of two of the rapers. When asked what to do with the raped girl, Daenerys commands Doreah to tend to her hurts, mainly because the blonde-haired Lysene girl does not look Dothraki. Daenerys then continues on into the city and begins to rescue all of the other rape victims she sees. Ser Jorah tries to explain that she cannot save them all, but Daenerys refuses to believe him.

Daenerys finds Drogo with an arrow through his arm and an arakh cut that has taken off one of his nipples. Drogo insists that they are only scratches and tells her that he personally slew not only Khal Ogo, but also his son Fogo, who was khal after Ogo. Daenerys praises her husband.

Then a warrior named Mago, who rides with the khas of Ko Jhaqo rides up with angry words about Daenerys’ actions. After listening to both sides, Drogo explains to Daenerys that this is the way of war. Daenerys insists that the Lhazareen women should be made wives and given a place in the khalasar. A bloodrider named Qotho asks haughtily if a horse breeds with sheep, but Daenerys replies that a dragon feeds on both horse and sheep. Drogo laughs at this and proclaims that his son inside her that has made Daenerys fierce. The khal goes on to tell Mago to find another lamb to mount, as these belong to the khaleesi.

When Drogo reaches out to Daenerys, he winces and Daenerys cries for the healers. She is told that Drogo sent the healers away to tend the more grievously wounded. It is now that Mirri Maz Duur, one of the Lhazareen women Daenerys rescued, speaks up, saying she can help. Aggo is about to cut her throat when Daenerys demands that the woman, who wears the remains of fine clothing, be allowed to speak. Mirri Maz Duur explains that she is a healer and godswife. Drogo’s bloodriders mistrust her, calling her a healer of sheep, and name her a Maegi.

Daenerys asks Mirri Maz Duur how she learned to become a healer, and the godswife states that she has learned from many including a maester. The learning from a maester immediately interests Ser Jorah, and he asks for details. Ser Jorah then tells Daenerys that maesters know much of healing.

Mirri Maz Duur continues by stating that the Great Shepherd sent her to earth to heal all his lambs. Drogo finally speaks up and permits the godswife to heal him. Mirri Maz Duur suggest that the healing magic will be stronger inside her temple. Drogo rises to walk and refuses Haggo’s offer to aid him. Seeing that her husband is weak, Daenerys moves up to help him telling him she is no man so can help him.

Mirri Maz Duur brings Drogo into the remains of her temple, and tells them that is it best if the rest leave, but Drogo’s bloodriders and Daenerys refuse. Daenerys states Mirri Maz Duur will do no harm, feeling she can trust her since she saved the woman from rape. The godswife tells them that if they insist on remaining they can help hold Drogo down. She pulls out the arrow, pours boiling hot wine on the wound, then sews the skin back in place. Next, she applies a plaster of leaves to the chest wound and tells Drogo not to drink wine or milk of the poppy or to remove the poultice for ten days. When told he will have a great scar, Drogo declares, “I sing of my scars.”

Daenerys asks the godswife about an earlier comment about birthing songs and learns she is also a midwife. Therefore, she asks Mirri Maz Duur to attend her when she gives birth. Drogo tells her, “You don’t ask a slave, you tell her.” Then Drogo commands that the khalasar must ride and leaves. Qotho lingers long enough to remind the godswife, “As the khal fares, so shall you.”
