The Dothraki sea is a vast inland region on the continent of Essos, located east of the Free Cities, north of Slaver's Bay, and west of the Bone Mountains. Its landscape of steppes and plains is home to the nomadic Dothraki equestrian people, who constantly battle each other and raid surrounding lands.

Overview
Save for Vaes Dothrak and some Valyrian roads in the west near the Forest of Qohor,[1] there are no surviving roads, hills, or cities, leaving an ocean of unbroken rippling grass, for which the Dothraki sea is named. Over a hundred types of grass grow on the plains, often growing thick and taller than a man's head and from afar look like a sea, as it rolls like waves in the breeze.[2][3] Some rivers run through the lands, though they are often shallow and shift with the seasons; overall sand is more prevalent than water.[3]
Its only inhabited city, an ancient ruin called Vaes Dothrak, lies at the heart of the sea and is home and heart to the Dothraki people and culture. Other than that it is largely empty with packs of wild dogs, herds of free-ranging horses and rare hrakkar.
Geography
Located in the inland of Essos, east of the Free Cities, the Dothraki sea begins in the west at the Forest of Qohor. To the north it overlaps the ruined Kingdom of Sarnor and the forested Kingdoms of the Ifeqevron. The Dothraki sea extends eastward to the Bone Mountains and the Krazaaj Zasqa and as far southeast as the desert wasteland called the red waste. To the south the Dothraki sea is bounded by the Painted Mountains, Slaver's Bay, and the Skahazadhan River. South of the river is Lhazar, which is often raided by the Dothraki. The Dothraki sea is so immense it can support more than two dozen khalasars,[4] each riding its own circuit and taking what is needed from the land as they go.
A single massive mountain is located in the region, the Mother of Mountains, which rises at the heart of the Dothraki sea, at the city of Vaes Dothrak. Nearby is the lake called the Womb of the World.
Ruins

To the north-east in the vicinity of the Kingdoms of the Ifeqevron are Vaes Leisi and Vaes Aresak.
