The meaning of ‘Valar Morghulis’ is stated in Season 3 Episode 3 ‘Walk of Punishment’ (in a conversation between Daenerys and Missandei). Game of Thrones Valar Morghulis Which episodes of Game of Thrones specifies the meaning of the phrases ‘Valar Morghulis’ and ‘Valar Dohaeris’? You can see Arya use this to get a ferryman to give her passage. Most likely it is tied to the higher Nobility demanding something to be done, or else… In which the other party either disagrees and dies or agrees and responds with ‘Valar Dohaeris’.
My best assumption is that ‘Valar Morghulis’ is used as a threat or a way to enact it as a death threat to create leverage in order to get what you want. In the series when Arya travels to Braavos to get instructed by Jaqen (who trains her in the ways to the God of Many Faces) and learns about these terms. It is a mystery as to why exactly this happens. It is High Valarian where ‘Valar morghulis’ means ‘All men must die’, where most people respond with ‘Valar dohaeris’ which translates to ‘All men must serve’. The god of many faces is not just “death”, but the heartwood trees of the Children of the Forest/Singers of the Earth that have faces and are vampire-like, feeding off the living, Or, as the Faceless Men say, “only death can pay for life”. The motto of the Faceless Men who serve the god of many faces is, thus, a mission rather than a mere Daoist, naturalist worldview. What I think almost everyone is missing is that “All men MUST die” is not the same as “All men die”.
People think they are cool expressions like “Semper Fidelis” for the US Marine Corps. “Valar dohaeris” is an equivalent response, which translates as “all men must serve”. The common response is Valar dohaeris, which means “all men must serve.” In the world of literary- and television series Game of Thrones, Valar morghulis means “all men must die” in the fictional language High Valyrian. It is Valyrian (the Latin equivalent for planetos, the world in which Game of Thrones takes place) and it is a saying for the Faceless Men, a group of assassins of which at least one can change his face that Arya trained with for a time. It is a customary saying in Essos that is traditionally answered with “ valar dohaeris,” meaning “all men must serve.” Valar morghulis translates to “all men must die” in High Valyrian. Valar Morghulis is a common greeting in Braavos, meaning “all men must die” in High Valyrian. The popular interpretation of “Valar morghulis” is “all men must die” – that is, all men are mortal.
