Game Of Thrones: What If... Daenerys Invaded Westeros In Season 1

8. Smallfolk Would Die, Westeros Would Burn

The rich would hide in their castles, the poor would die in their fields. When it comes to pillaging, raping, and utterly destroying swathes of land, nobody would be as effective as the Dothraki. They would pick the smallfolk's fields clean, and leave nothing but their bodies behind. The Dothraki would loosely make their way towards King's Landing, but there'd be plenty of stopping along the way to butcher and burn anything and anyone they could find. Simply put, Daenerys would rapidly become the villain. She was young in Season 1, and would struggle to command the authority needed to keep her entire horde in check.
