The disheveled queen is brought to Vaes Dothrak and faced with living out her days with the dosh khaleen, adhering to her cultural obligations as Drogo's widow. Instead of accepting her fate or attempting to escape with Jorah and Daario, Daenerys hatches a plan of her own. The Khaleesi traps and burns the khals before emerging from the flames unscathed, uniting the Dothraki under her rule. After seven seasons of declaring her intentions to conquer Westeros, Daenerys finally returns to her homeland season 7's opening episode "Dragonstone.

Dany's first steps on Dragonstone hold an emotional significance for her character, as the young queen finally fulfills her season 1 promise to return home. Daenerys pauses her war for the Iron Throne after discovering the true enemy lurking in the North. The Wall's destruction leads to the White Walkers' invasion during season 8.
