The third episode of Game of Thrones’ sixth season saw Daenerys Targaryen finally arriving in the holy city of Vaes Dothrak and being brought before the dosh khaleen, a group of khal’s widows who serve as soothsayers for the Dothraki people. After being stripped naked and redressed in Dothraki clothing, the Mother of Dragons attempted her usual shtick of rattling off her many titles only to find that the crones’ leader, the widow of Khal Sovo, was less than impressed.
She quickly informed Dany that not only did she break the rules by not immediately joining the dosh khaleen after Khal Drogo’s death, but that being allowed to stay with them is now the best-case scenario for her.
