Salafi Stannis Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ok, so this has been bugging me for a while now. In the books, the title of the King is "King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men", however, in the show, "the Rhoynar" part is cut out. Until, however, the series finale aired, and when Daenerys is being heralded, she is referred to what translates to "Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men". How can it go from never being included to them just putting it in? Is this just an oversight by the creators of the show, it was this intentional, and if so, why?

Nyrhex Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Because D&D don't realy know how much story they can fit in, and they did not want to confuse the viewers with another people in Westeros before they even know if the Dorne plot would ever be in the show.

El Guapo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not to mention that 99% of the viewing audience won't even notice it was added anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when Tommen was crowned, after the Dornish were introduced, it didn't include the Rhoynar. Plus, it still causes an error, if its not in, why not just keep it out? What's the explanation for it never being mentioned before, everyone forgot to say it, even at Tommen's coronation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Snow Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 With Dorne coming into the fold more in Season 5, we may hear them calling themselves the Rhoynar and that they do not recognise the Lannisters as their kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then Bryan Cogman wrote that episode , which may explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeParking Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 It that Season4 Episode 6 ?If so then Bryan Cogman wrote that episode , which may explain it. No, it was done in 410 when Missandaei announces Dany's titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting , well it's not that D&D wouldn't know, but they usually abbreviate. In that case Missandaei didn't give her full title , that I remember: DAENERYS TARGARYEN, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, called DAENERYS STORMBORN, the UNBURNT, MOTHER OF DRAGONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
