The Incident with the Dothraki

by Shella Longclaw

After the Century of Blood, the Dothraki conquest calmed down. Trade was being firmly established in Vaes Dothrak. A Yi Tish caravan of merchants from Trader Town came to the Dothraki city. “They arrived and behaved in the Dothraki fashion,” as one priest described and defended, since the incident resulted in much bloodshed.  

To understand, let’s start at the beginning. There is a great distance between Trader Town and Vaes Dothrak. As the caravan rested midway in Dothraki land, they spotted a khal and his bloodriders killing a female hrakkar and retrieving her hide. The Yi Tish captain was staunch follower of the Lion of Night. The kotiya, or Yi Tish black lion is considered sacred. It is reasonable to conclude that he would view this white lion as sacred. When the Dothraki moved onto the hrakkar’s cubs with a deadly intent, the Yi Tish charged at them and slaughtered them all. The cubs were taken back to Yi Ti and given into the care of a female kotiya.

If the situation had ended there, the Dothraki might not have become enraged.However, the Yi Tish captain was livid. He traveled to Vaes Dothrak and hung the skins of the khal and his bloodriders on two large horse statues. He wisely retreated quickly afterwards. Many Dothraki craved revenge. It would take about two hundred years and several gifts to make amends. In addition, the dosh khaleen had to give their blessing. The governor of Trader Town wanted peace for trade between the powerful and rich Dothraki.

Though scholars believe the Dothraki desired the riches of Yi Ti trade as well and yielded their conquest for revenge to gain them, I can neither support nor discredit this assertion. There is now peace between Yi Ti and the Dothraki. Rumors spread that the Dothraki seek to conquer Yi Ti. It’s a thought which bothers most Yi Tish. Those who worship the Lion of Night welcome such a fight. For them, the incident should have reaped more blood.

Had to think about the old translations of the Touhou games where some of the names weren't written properly. You've had stuff like Yuyuko Saigyouzi, Mokou Huziwara or even Sanae Kotiya. Apparently there also were early translations of EoSD that had Rumia as Lumia. That one's kinda fair, to be honest.

We could live in a present of Lumia and Chillno.

Even though in Undefined Fantastic Object Sanae is called Kotiya and in Ten Desires she is called Kochiya, in the  キャラ設定とエキストラストーリー.txt file from both games her name is written with lowercase “s”.

Sometimes I Don't Know What To Do

When: November 26, 2023 Where: BestZoo Best, the Netherlands

I believe this to be the male named Kani. He's not related to any of the females, but with an abundance in cubs in the past (and a lot of trouble finding them new homes), I wonder if we can expect more cubs in the future...

Species: Sri Lankan Leopard (Sri Lankaanse panter) Latin name: Panthera Pardus Kotiya Originates from Sri Lanka. Current status: Endangered

 Did you know:  …The Sri Lankan Leopard was only first described in 1956, by the Sri Lankan zoologist Deraniyagala. …Its Latin addition “kotiya” is a Sinhala name, but has been often wrongly translated as “Tiger” due to incorrect information, mistaking Leopards for “diviya”, the Sinhala term for small wild cats; since then, “kotiya” has been used for Tigers, and “diviya” for Leopards.
