Vaes Dothrak is the home "city" of the Dothraki people. It is located beyond the Dothraki Sea, beneath the Mother of Mountains and beside the lake, the Womb of the World. It lacks the large buildings of traditional cities. It has no walls and is large enough to hold every khalasar if they were all to return at once. Because most khalasars spend most of their time on the Dothraki Sea, Vaes Dothrak is usually mostly empty. The city is ruled by the Dosh Khallen, the widows of former khals.
Bitter rivals in the field will sit together while in Vaes Dothrak. This is because all men are forbidden to wear a blade or shed a man's blood within the confines of the city.
Vaes Dothrak also has an extensive collection of religious statues from people conquered by the Dothraki.
Viserys Targaryen was killed by Khal Drogo while they were in Vaes Dothrak. Khal Drogo killed him without breaking the sacred rules of Vaes Dathrak: he did not shed blood and he did not carry a weapon. Instead he poured molten gold on Viserys' head to kill him.
