- ―Daenerys Targaryen during one of her visions in the House of the Undying
The Night Lands[1][a] is the name given to the land of the dead in the Dothraki belief system.
For a Dothraki soul to enter the Night Lands to ride with his or her ancestors, the body must be burned in a funeral pyre.[3] It is a major insult to the dead to leave his or her body unburned.[4]
When Daenerys Targaryen sees her dead husband Drogo in the House of the Undying, she asks if she is joining him in the Night Lands.[5]
