Sitting within his tent, Maximus was analyzing this new information that he had just received from the system. This newfound information was surprising to say the least. To know that there are actually gods within the world was shocking since he never knew or read about actual gods being in GOT.
Besides the many religions that worship gods and the implications that there were beings a long time ago that may have been gods, he didn't think that they were real in this time period of the world. But now that he knew, he would need to tread careful since while the system warned him about summoning magical entities to this world, he still needed to be wary of the other magical forces of the world such as the red priests and the House of Black and White.
As he was lost in thought making adjustments to his future plans, Olorin had walked into his tent and bowed his head slightly, "My Lord" he greeted.
"The Dothraki are surprisingly well behaved even though just yesterday we killed their Khal." Olorin had been curious about the Dothraki culture and had done some investigating by observing the Dothraki to better understand them.
"Well… mostly, there are a few Dothraki who are dissatisfied with this new arrangement, and I have reason to believe that they might try something if they get the chance." informed Olorin.
Hearing this, an idea popped up in Maximus's head. Similar to how Daenerys got the Dothraki to be fiercely loyal to her, he thought to do the same thing to make them loyal to him. From what he knew, fire is highly revered in Dothraki culture. So, when Daenerys emerged unharmed from the burning Dosh khaleen temple, it shows the Dothraki that she has the favor and protection of the powerful Dothraki deity, the Great Stallion.
By utilizing this information, Maximus could create a scenario where he emerged from within fire to make Dothraki believe that he had the favor and protection of the Great Stallion.
"Actually, we could use them to our advantage" responded Maximus as Olorin had become curious as to what he had in mind. "The Dothraki religion is a major influence in their culture and will be the main factor in securing their loyalty. The easiest way to use their religion is by setting up a display of divine favor. We shall use those who don't like me as their Khal to start a bonfire, one large enough to be seen for miles. While it blazes, I shall emerge unscathed from it, demonstrating that the Great Stallion has blessed me." Within his head the scene of him emerging from the fire was playing and he knew that it was a sure way to secure their loyalty.
"A masterful scheme indeed," he admitted, "And I'm assuming that you will need my help as you don't have any resistant to fire." asked Olorin.
"Indeed, I hope that you have something to protect me while I am within the fire."
"Yes, I do have a spell that can create a barrier of protection around you," Olorin replied, "For a short time the fire won't have any effect on you, but make sure to not stay in the fire too long or I might have to come save you and spoil your plan."
"Duly noted," Maximus replied with a small grin.
For the next few hours, Maximus had decided to go over his current situation with Olorin and plan their next steps. As of now he has a total of about 40k Dothraki whom he took from the previous Khal. About 5k of them are Dothraki riders while the rest are women, children, elderly, and slaves.
He had plans to eventually free the slaves, but right now the Dothraki don't see him as their leader, nor does he have enough Authority over them to simply free all the slaves. Once he conquered more Khalasar's and eventually united the Dothraki, then he would free the slaves.
Once night had arrived, the plan had begun. Olorin casts illusions on the Dothraki who didn't like Maximus making them believe that he was a threat to their traditions and would bring ruin to their way of life. They were filled with rage, accusing Maximus of crimes against their culture and insulting the Great Stallion.
The malcontents, fueled by Olorin's carefully crafted illusions, had stealthily made their way towards Maximus's tent. For the plan to proceed, the guards around Maximus's tent were sent away leaving Maximus alone inside of his tent.
Once they arrived at the tent and found no guards, they started to set the place ablaze. Olorin cast the illusion that they had one of their pots of burning oil with them and used it to set the tent on fire. Slowly the fire spread as the wood and structural integrity of the tent started to fail.
The fire grew brighter, which attracted a lot of attention from the camp as people started to gather around the tent to see what was going on. Maximus's army was confused and worried that their Lord's tent was set ablaze, some even tried to enter the tent and save Maximus, but Olorin had made the fire grow even more as they got closer.
Inside Maximus was standing in the middle of the tent prepared to emerge from the tent after a few more seconds had passed. Once that time passed, he readied himself and emerged from the tent where everybody could see him.
Olorin had cast an illusion spell on Maximus to make it appear like his clothes were tattered and burned from the fire which managed to fool everybody present.
Seeing Maximus Walk out of the burning tent unscathed, a gasp spread through the crowd. The ferocious flames that had devoured the tent seemed to dance around Maximus, creating an almost ethereal halo of fire around him.
Stepping away from the blazing remains of his tent, Maximus stood tall in front of the crowd of people, his face illuminated by the burning fire. There was an eerie silence in the camp as all eyes were fixated on him. Fear, awe and respect filled their expressions. In their eyes, he was no longer just a Khal, this showing proved that he was chosen and blessed by the Great Stallion.
A murmur of disbelief rolled through the crowd, and then a solitary figure fell to his knees in reverence. It was one of the malcontents, who had set fire to Maximus's tent earlier. Struck by fear and awe, he bowed his head low to the ground before Maximus.
Then, like a wave sweeping across the sands, others started to kneel as well. From the strongest warrior to the most delicate slave, every individual present fell into submission before this miraculous spectacle. His soldiers did the same thing seeing their lord emerge from fire unscathed.
A small smile appeared across his face as his plan proved to be successful. Now he was onto the next phase of his plan which involved uniting the Dothraki under him.
