Arakh, Dothraki weapon.
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 necessary and effective for a warrior on horseback, the arakh pales in comparison to the sword for battling without a mount or at penetrating armor.
