Khaleesi is a Dothraki word referring to the wife of the khal, or warlord of a khalasar, a Dothraki clan or tribe. Other military nicknames that have to do with uniform color include greyback, redcoat, lobsterback, and blackcoat.Įxample: Ygritte: 'In your hearts all you crows want to fly free.' The Night's Watch is 'a military order which holds and guards the Wall.' Night's Watch members 'swear an oath of duty that is binding for life and prohibits marriage, family, and land ownership,' and dress entirely in black, giving rise to the nicknames crow and black brothers. Crow is a derogatory nickname given to the Night's Watch by the Free Folk, those who live beyond the Wall, thought to be the northernmost edge of civilization on Westeros, the continent where the most action of Game of Thrones takes place.
