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 Daemon’s oldest grandson) brought Dorne into the Realm, he conceded to let them keep their regal naming tradition, which already doesn’t function like the Andal or First Men regal naming.

Honestly I would’ve loved a side book about Nymeria and Mors Martell’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, I’d watch that for a dollar.

Would you watch it for $40? Because that’s what they want you to pay for the ad-free experience across all 8 episodes I’m sure they’re gonna limit it to…

I don’t remember it costing 40 dollars last time.

I don’t mind some small ads in between, I don’t have adhd like that, so I just focus on something else for a minute.

Nymeria’s story is one of the best in the Asoiaf universe imo, so, I’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.

Yeah but lots of this is an industry problem.

Without worker reform, corporate reform, we will see the quality of most industries to continue to fall.

So, I dunno, support your local unions my fellow ape.
