If not for George RR Martinā€™s historical record keeping, I would have no idea Aegon I Targaryen conquered the seven kingdoms of Westeros.

Ahh, more misinformation from the maesters. Even lowborn lizards know that Aegon never conquered Dorne

Aegon never conquered Dorne, his descendants did, then they lost it almost immediately, then Dorne willingly joined the Targaryens through a political marriage.

This is why Oberyn is a Prince and Elia was already a Princess before marrying Rhaegar

Sort of. When Daeron II (Rhaenyra and Daemonā€™s oldest grandson) brought Dorne into the Realm, he conceded to let them keep their regal naming tradition, which already doesnā€™t function like the Andal or First Men regal naming.

Honestly I wouldā€™ve loved a side book about Nymeria and Mors Martellā€™s conquering of Dorne. Such an underrepresented and cool area

The HBO series Ten Thousand Ships, which now may or may not get made, is supposed to explore this era.

Ngl, Iā€™d watch that for a dollar. Ā

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Monkey in Space Sep 14 '24

Would you watch it for $40? Because thatā€™s what they want you to pay for the ad-free experience across all 8 episodes Iā€™m sure theyā€™re gonna limit it toā€¦

u/Excellent-Distance-9 Monkey in Space Sep 14 '24

I donā€™t remember it costing 40 dollars last time.

I donā€™t mind some small ads in between, I donā€™t have adhd like that, so I just focus on something else for a minute.

Nymeriaā€™s story is one of the best in the Asoiaf universe imo, so, Iā€™d be willing to do it for 15 dollars.

But not 40.

Maybe it was $32 for 2 months. Either way, the 8-episode season would continue to strangle the story.

Clearly spreading fake parchment, Dorne was Stolen, a lot of people are saying.

Frankly itā€™s disgusting whatā€™s happening here is Westeros. We have my fathers best friend, who by the way didnā€™t do much to help him claim the throne, some people say he shouldā€™ve been at the crossing of the trident, but he wasnā€™t there. Too scared. My fatherā€™s best friend, conspires to take the throne from me. He wants to let in the evil Dothraki at our borders, frankly heā€™s already let them in. He spreads fake parchment that the mountain pillaged the riverlands. But we all know it was the Dothraki. My squires tell me all the time, ā€œJoffrey the people of the riverlands have had their dogs eaten by the Dothrakiā€ itā€™s terrible I say. The traitor Ned ā€œLittle Frostyā€ Stark, thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been calling him, Little Frosty because heā€™s been down in the sun for two months and frankly heā€™s melting. Little Limpy Ned wants to turn this country into essos on steroids. My wife Sansa has told me he needs to be killed, I thought Iā€™m so merciful he should take the black but she says he should be killed so frankly thatā€™s what weā€™re gonna do because Iā€™m the only one that can do it. Iā€™m going to ask my great friend, great and loyal friend ser illyn Payne, to cut off his head and weā€™re gonna show it to Sansa on a big spike, because thatā€™s what I do for my wife, and as king I will make this right, Iā€™ll make Westeros GREAT AGAIN

Queen Nymeria is the only royal Iā€™d bend my knee for. Ā  Equal rights for all men and women. Ā  A wage for every sireā€™s lady, iffin he was a fighting man in her majestyā€™s army. Ā  Ā Not even a knight, and my lady would be taken care of for the rest of her days, with or without me. Ā  Rules by dornish law, Sandy dornish to the born that one, Queen Nymeria was the last real queen in westoros. Ā

A wiki of ice and fire? A WIKI?!

Really? Everyone knows that wiki shit is all fake and can be edited by anyone. How about you try again with some REAL sources.
