So, are they Turks? Mongols? Scythians? Timurids?

>>86192442
A shitty knockoff of all of them.

where she keeping all of these people and their horses?

>>86192442
shitskins are all shit

Scythians were blinbling nomads+ womens fighters, timurid were enlightened, mongols were actually good at fighting, leave only the shittiest of them all: the Turks.

any time there's brown people/horse nomads in an alternate universe they're an amalgamation of all of them, except for maybe the Fremen

>pol bait & containment thread

>>86192442
They're plains Indians with some mongol flavor.

Turks can siege castles. They're probably Mongols.

>>86192928
You know Mongols could siege as well right?

>>86193030
Which castles did the Mongols take?

>>86192876
Holy fuck

Gurm said they're an amalgam of native americans and mongols

>>86193350
They're not even close to mongols, they're like a shitty version of Scythians

Lol have any of you seen current turkey?

According to Martin, Native Americans and Mongolians.
According to the show, they're Dothraki and people from the """Free""" Cities who allied with Dany.
I love how anally devastated /pol/ is over a scene that has been telegraphed from the beginning of the show. This entire series is about an exiled princess coming back and reclaiming her birthright, as well as marrying her original betrothed under succession (Jon Snow, child of her older brother and his wife). The entire war of the five kings and the westeros storylines in general probably came from a bloated point on an outline that read "political infighting weakens westeros." And since Martin has no self control it expanded into its own thing. The foretold princess and her king united to defeat the evil menace from the north. There. The end.

>>86192442
Steppeniggers

>>86192781
This. They are vaguely analogous to steppe peoples from the old world but mostly they are like cliche Plains Indians with big sickle swords.

>>86192824
Just look at all these poor women and children

>>86192442
obviously Timurids, Only Tamerlane had dragons

Native Americans didnt have any horses until they were provided by white men, and used archery as their primary weaponry.

Mongols and the other central asian horse tribes used archery as their primary weaponry.

So the Dothraki are just some weird amalgam of the two that are really unlike either, brought forth in the imagination of a pederast feminist.

no, they were mainly turkic.
many turks and turkic clans fought against each other at some point in anatolia.
also mongols/huns/turks/timurids have gone hand in hand culturally, linguistically and genetically anyway.
no need to call me a retard, you mouthbreathing imbecile.

They're supposed to be proficient horse archers too. They just don't show it much in the show. Think the winterfell maester talked about it after bran got crippled. Something about dothraki children learning to shoot from horseback.

orcs. They are so savages that it is forbidden to sow or build because it hurt the earth. Unlike the Mongols, they have not taken control of the conquered lands, but have left them in ruins and returned to the prairies.

>>86192484
This. Basically every barbarian horde trope. Dany is like a third rate Tomyris or Boudica.

>>86195821
They successfully laid siege to Kiev, Baghdad, and Kaifeng.

>>86195930
I do recall a Lannister scout getting captured by Robb, and then sending him back to Tywin, which eventually lead to the capture of Jamie

>>86195650
Mongols got BTFO the second time they invaded Hungary because they realized actual fortifications shit all over them.

I'd just like to say that it annoys the shit out of me that they never use bows or basic light cavalry tactics. Native American were well known for their recurve bows just like any other steppe people .

If I was hungry for attention I could easily write up an article about how the whole Dothraki story is racist bullshit.
>White saviour trope

mongols have got to be the biggest meme in history

>>86192442
The tactics of Scythians with the ego of Timurids, the reputation of Mongols, and the the competence of Turks circa 1900.

Put simply they fight like cataphracts charging headlong into the enemy but don't wear armour, everyone thinks they are super badass and their inflated egos make them think themselves even better. However they are in actuality crap.

>>86195821
The Chinese and Persian-area cities often had huge walls and the Mongols hired experts at siege warfare early on to help them. As a new force that no one - including established powerful Chinese/Muslim/knightly armies - knew how to defeat, the Mongols are more like the White Walkers.

>>86192484
This, they are supposed to represent a Conan-esque ideal of Barbarians, rather than any specific culture.

Timurids weren't an ethnicity you dumbass.
