@svenvo7 Drogo was poisoned by Mirri Maz Duur. Agree to disagree on that point.

In reality, wild boars are among the most dangerous animals out there. Getting impaled by a boar is no less threatening than being deathrolled by a crocodile or being mauled by a bear. Humanity invented a very particular weapon - the Boar Spear - specifically to help reduce the threat of boars murdering them. | |

| Mar 27, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | Aegon | In medieval times, when you got stabbed, it was pretty much luck that played the most important role. Wound got infected? You die. Bonemarrow spilled into blood? You die. Bits of Clothes/Chainmail got into the wound? You die. Got gutted? You definitely die albeit more painfully. It all depended on the wound and how quickly you got medical help which was mostly disinfecting the wound with hot metal (Also served to stop the bleeding), or by pouring some boiling hot liquid into the wound. It all came down to luck. Arya's wound may have missed the guts, may have penetrated only flesh. | |

The Dothraki probably don't have the same quality of healthcare that the Westerosi or Bravosi have. Also not all stab wounds are equally fatal. It's entirely possible that Arya's organs were undamaged. | |
