Lady Blizzardborn Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Rise and Shine! Depending on the time of day, the Daynes have been known to add 'Wakey-wakey' to their words. That actually works in several ways. And it would explain why The George wasn't entirely happy with them and might change them at some point. So it's not just my Dad who said "wakey, wakey" then. Up and at 'em. Roll it out (always hated that one). You've Got to Get Up and Boogie I remember all of those from childhood. And a couple others that are really too long for house words.

Taenqyrhae Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 It's a reference to their incredible luck through the millenia, all the way back to when some of the primitive first men fisher-folk started travelling further and further across the Narrow Sea and eventually ended up staying on the far side. The first Dayne was a great fisherman who was said to have amazing luck, nothing bad ever happened to him. When you think there might be some negative conseqiuence to prove his luck wrong, it would end up turning to his favor, like a meteorite hitting his hut and being forged into a legendary weapon. But this goes back to before Dawn. The first Dayne was out in his houseboat working his nets and trot lines, and was regretting not bringing his shrimp traps because he could see them migrating through the clear water. As he stared and thought about how much more appreciated those giant crustaceans would be compared to the same old cod he usually brought back to the village, he saw a storm blow up on his boat. He struggled to get the primitive hatches and flaps he had protecting the interior of his boat down quickly, because his wife was inside the boat and in the late stages of pregnancy and he was doing everything he could to keep her from being stressed out. A great unnatural wave rose from the water like the cupped hand of a titan made of water, and lifted hundreds of pounds of the tasty crustaceans he had been wishing he could catch earlier and dropped them on the deck of his boat. At first he felt blessed and a great relief, because he had been worrying about being able to provide for his new baby but his boat had so much high quality seafood he was sure he'd make more from this haul than from all the other fishing trips he had made in the last year. But then he remembered his wife, and he got below deck as fast as he could, considering he was hip-deep in flipping, pinching, and crawlling live sea food. When he got to her, she seemed to be in an island of normalcy surrounded by sea food, and she was holding a beautiful baby boy. He ran to her and he asked if she was alright, and she replied, in the quirky accent they spoke on the islands far to the west where they worship squid instead of eating them, "S'ol right. Prawn miss me bed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon the Sanitator Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Bringers of the Dawn? Wielders of the Light? I'm pretty sure it's either got dawn or light in it. Probably the Sword of the Morning is Lightbringer. I mean, what does dawn bring? Light. Tadah, mystery solved, end thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Wren Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If you're going to be that way about it... SNIP So, translation: The Daynes are not only one of the oldest families in Westeros. They are also the most pretentious? How are none of you coming up with "Good Day Sunshine", "Good Morning Good Morning" or "Here Comes the Sun?" Philistines. Philistines? Ha! You didn't even think of the hidden "day" in "Zip-A-De-Doo-Da." Which is, of course, ancient Valyrian for "We're Better Than You!" Philistines! Humph! I scoff in your general direction!

Daena the Defiant Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Does anyone know the words of house Dayne? I dont think they have come up and a google search doesnt show much information apart from an obscure link that cites their words as "Fallen and Reborn"? anyone know this to be true? They are "We bring the dawn, we bring da' funk." It is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
