I’m watching the Clipper game right now, and I’m not happy. Going to write this to take my mind off things. Yesterday’s episode, “The Ghost of Harrenhal”, was a bit easier to watch than last week’s. Or, at least if you’re not a fan of Renly who wasn’t familiar with the books. If you are,… Continue reading Lei Harenhaloon

Dothraki community news.
Rhaeshi Ajjalani
Busy day, yesterday! In the morning (or at least morning on the West Coast), CNN’s The Next List did a show on Dothraki in Game of Thrones.

Happy birthday,… Continue reading Fog Talking

If you’re wondering about the featured image for this post, the explanation is quite simple: Since I’m writing this post before my actual birthday, I don’t have any pictures… Continue reading Asshekhqoyi Anni
Ours Is the Fury
A week or so ago, Crown of Gold asked in a comment on a previous post how one would translate the words of House Baratheon into Dothraki. The words are: “Ours is the fury.” I might’ve responded to the comment directly, but the question is actually much more complicated than one might think. Starting just… Continue reading Ours Is the Fury
