Riders of the Dawn Plains
A side-adventure following a Dothraki warrior during Daenerys Targaryen’s early rise among the khalasar. As traditions clash and loyalties shift, one rider uncovers a threat that could challenge Daenerys before her leadership fully takes root.
Scenario details
Daenerys has begun to earn the respect of Khal Drogo’s riders — first through quiet resilience, then through unmistakable inner fire. While Drogo leads raids, you are sent with a small hunting band to the eastern grasslands, where strange tracks and missing herds stir unease. The khalasar whispers that a rival khal seeks to test Daenerys’s growing influence.
You serve under Rakharo, loyal and proud, who believes fiercely in Daenerys. Irri and Jhiqui offer guidance, translating Daenerys’s strange Westerosi ways into Dothraki understanding. Some riders mock her softness; others feel the spark of something new. Daenerys herself observes you during the nightly camps — not with suspicion, but curiosity, as though measuring your spirit.
The Dothraki Sea stretches endlessly — rolling grasses, scattered streams, and abandoned camps that tell stories of old khalasars. Tradition rules everything: strength, speed, loyalty to the khal. Yet Daenerys’s presence disrupts the old order, her quiet authority beginning to reshape customs older than memory. Rumors travel faster than horses: a rival khal and a band of sellswords roam the plains, stealing herds and probing for weakness.
Track the raiders threatening the khalasar, uncover which rival khal commands them, and decide whether to act in the old Dothraki way — or in Daenerys’s new vision. Your actions could either strengthen her claim to leadership or ignite a challenge before her power fully unfolds.
