Khal

A khal is a Dothraki warleader, commanding a khalasar or tribe of tens of thousands of warriors and non-combatants. To become a khal, a Dothraki warrior must perform tremendous feats of bravery, daring and martial valour, as well as being ruthless and canny enough to avoid the machinations of his enemies. Khal Drogo is an especially-noted Dothraki khal due to his young age to command such a large khalasar.
