No but it is a good quote too. Thinking about it now, we still don't know much about how the Valyrian Freehold was organised.

@Nittanian Where would you put the Valyrian mages ? Their own category, or more akin to firemages or to pyromancers ? I don't remember where I heard this but I have a vague memory that the Dragonlords and Valyrian mages were the more powerful factions in the Valyrian Freehold and the practice of incest was more frequent with them compared to a common noble freedholder. I also believe those two factions intermingled at times, so that some members of Dragonlord families became mages and some mages married into dragonlord families. If any body can find a source for this it would be great; otherwise, disregard what I just said.

I thought so, I fixed it.

The wiki states that Cohollo was Khal Drogo's Ko as well as bloodrider but is that true ? I can not find a source for this. Haggo and Qotho are only stated to be Drogo's bloodriders not his Kos. The titles of "Ko" and "bloodrider" are different in Dothraki culture. The former is a commander within a Khalasar and the latter is a personal guard/friend/trusted person in the immediate entourage of a Khal. I know Daenerys named Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo both her Kos and her bloodriders at the end of AGOT so it is not unprecedented for a dothraki to hold both titles. But I always read this as Daenerys having no one else competent that she could rely upon to lead her little Khalasar with her so she decided to named her bloodriders as commanders as well.

I've created a new category "Deaths by chill" but the link between the characters pages and the category itself does not work properly.

Unlike the other dragonseeds who had a more hands on and direct approach to the dragons, Nettles fed Sheepstealer for enough time for the two of them to create a bond. Honestly if Addam, Hugh and Ulf get their dragons in the back half of season 2, its logical for Nettles to enter the picture at the start of season 3. Plus if the Battle of the Gullet is indeed the big battle that was pushed back to season 3, we don't really need Nettles in season 2, it is totally fine to cast her for season 3. I just hope we have a throw away line like "oh there is this girl that goes visit Sheepstealer". It seems they are not adapting the Reach storyline this season, so Daeron falls into a similar situation as Nettles. However, I think a Daeron mention this season is necessary and not optional like it was for season 1.

You're right. Here is the wording: The Greens learned about Morning's hatching at the start of 131 AC but we do not know when the hatching occured exactly. My guess is that Morning was born in late 130 AC because one would assume such news would be spread rapidly after the birth. As far as we know Rhaenyra never learn about it. However, we know Rhaenyra received letters from Jeyne Arryn when she was staying at Duskendale in between her flight from the capital (~late 9th moon of 130 AC) and her death at Dragonstone (22th day of the 10th moon of 130 AC).

That's a shame because the information presented here is pretty cool and it would flesh out nicely the little tidbits we known of the organisation of the royal household/the Crown's offices from the books.

I'm not sure if I read this following passage correctly. Is House Codd despised/looked down by the other nobles ironborn because 1) they are descendants of salt wives and thralls like the others cited by Asha here or 2) there is another reason ? In ADWD Theon also reflects on House Codd's status. It seems that Answer 2 is the correct one. But Answer 1 could still be correct too, thoughts ?

The quote from Edric's entry in AWOIAF from above.

I've just checked as well. As I understanded it,Edric was already the lord when he became Beric's page at seven years old. Since Edric was born in 287 AC, he would have turned 7 in 294 AC and was still seven in early 295 AC. Meaning he moved to Blackhaven in 294 or 295 AC. Thus the maximum range of death for Edric's father is in between 286 AC (if Edric was a posthumous son) and 295 AC (if the father died when Edric was still seven but close to his 8th nameday).

Yes. Or another possibily would be for Edric to have inherited his lordship from his Dayne grandfather or grandmother and it skipped Edric's father who did not outlive his Lord father/Lady mother.

Can anydoby point to me a passage where it is said that Edric Dayne’s father was the Lord of Starfall ? I found a mention of him in ASOS Arya VIII but not of him having this title. If he was not a Lord then we should edit the ”House Dayne”, ”Edric Dayne” and ”Lord of Starfall” articles.

Actually it does. GRRM has always refer to himself as a "gardener" in his writting process. He planted the seed for a rebellion that lead to Maekar's death in ACOK but it is only a decade later that he fleshed out that idea into the Peake Uprising. That's quite a bold statement when even to this day we don't know which camp (if any) the Royces took during the different Blackfyre Rebellions. So linking Walder Frey's marriage to a Royce to the aftermath of the Peake Uprising (a likely Blackfyre adjacent conflict) without tangible evidence is risky. Might I add that we don't even know when Walder's marriage took place or the year of Stevron's birth (233 and 234 AC are both possible). Walder and Perra could have married in 233 AC like they could have married 3 years earlier.

I seriously doubt it. There are two references of Stevron age: first in AGOT he is simply "past sixty" and then in ACOK Big Walder says he was 65 when he dies. GRRM did not have a concret timeline of events like he has now back when he wrote the first two books. In fact the Blackfyres and Peakes stuff all came after those books were published, the Blackfyres were not invented before ASOS and the Peake Uprising and the siege of Starpike were simply "a battle against an outlaw lord" (ACOK, Jon I) at the time. At best GRRM can make details work in retrospective if he wants to. Otherwise, Stevron being born around the time of Maekar's death is pure coincidence.
