Vaes Khewo is a ruined city in Essos in the western Dothraki Sea, in the southern Kingdom of Sarnor. It is connected by a Valyrian road to Vaes Khadokh.[1] It was originally called Sarnath, but it is now known by its Dothraki name, Vaes Khewo, meaning City of Worms.[2]

History

Located on the Sarne, Sarnath of the Tall Towers was the seat of the High King of the Sarnori. The city was destroyed by the Dothraki during the Century of Blood following the Doom of Valyria.[3]

Behind the Scenes

Vaes Khewo has not yet been mentioned in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, only appearing in The Lands of Ice and Fire and A World of Ice and Fire. Its original name, Sarnath, may be a reference by George R. R. Martin to "The Doom that Came to Sarnath" by H. P. Lovecraft.
