The arakh is the standard weapon used by Dothraki warriors. It is a long blade, making a semi-circular curve in its lower half, making it half-sword and half-scythe.

Jorah Mormont notes that while the sweeping blade is effective and indeed necessary for a warrior on horseback, the arakh pales in comparison to the sword for battling without a mount or at penetrating armor.^[1]

In the booksEdit

The arakh is similarly described in the books.

According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Arakh" is pronounced "Ah-rock", as opposed to "Ah-RACK".
