Night's King is mentioned in TWOIAF as "the Night's King." Is this a proper alternative form or is it an error? In the main books it is consistently without a definite article.

Claffey looks uncannily like the illustrations in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's the chin, I think. Just give him long hair and it's as if the illustrations were based on him.

Because the greens have a green field on their banners, and the blacks have the default Targaryen black field.

I see your "Illyrio is Aerion's grandson" and raise you: Illyrio is the Tattered Prince's son, and the Tattered Prince is Prince Maegor, son of Aerion.

That would have fit nicely in the appendices, though I wouldn't have minded a section in the main body either. I don't think anyone regrets Tolkien's decision to open LOTR with an essay on tobacco in hobbit culture. It's the little things that make a fantasy world immersive.

Do we consider the new characters and heraldry in the Dunk and Egg graphic novels to be canon in any way? They're currently presented as such on the wiki.

Pretty sure Blood of Dragons is not semi-canon. Semi-canon is info about ASOIAF that is given by GRRM outside the books.

If there are no objections I will merge "House Baelish of Harrenhal" into "House Baelish" tomorrow (see page 165 for original discussion)

Or a hallucination. He was deathly starved, dehydrated, and recovering from a battle in which his sons died and he almost drowned.

Knighthood as we know it evolved over the course of the 8th to 12th centuries, yes However the medieval age of Westeros seems to encompass almost its entire history... when do we consider it to begin? The Andal invasion? It's rather blurry because the history of the First Men houses is presented as if they always had medieval feudal society.

I am reminded of the theory that the Daynes are descendants of the GEOTD (explaining their recurring trait of purple eyes and silver hair). If so it is plausible that they worshiped R'hllor ten thousand years ago.

That doesn't mean the usual protocol wasn't done.

I know. That's what I said. "He's allowed to," but he didn't do it properly. He didn't make them swear the vows (to the Seven) that knights usually swear. In the R'hllor religion knighthood is probably not recognized, and in Westeros knighthood is an institution of the Seven religion. That puts the brotherhood's knights in a sort of limbo.

That begs the question of whether Beric's knighting of the brotherhood men is even legal. He is allowed to of course, but he didn't do it "properly" so maybe they wouldn't be seen as legitimate knights.

That's how you get knighted. Sword to one shoulder, "in the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave," sword to other shoulder "in the name of the Mother I charge to defend the weak and innocent," et cetera.

And that requires to swear in the name of the Seven, so still related to that religion

The Nymeria and Mors Martell articles show "Daughter, then Mors II Martell" but I think this solution would be very awkward if applied to people who have multiple unnamed successors in between ("Lord Darklyn, then Lord Darklyn, then Lord Darklyn..." -- all non-existent articles). Maybe another parameter option can be added to {{s-vac}} with a different wording than "next known." In navigational boxes it's best to present information as succinctly as possible.

Willam Stackspear - William Shakespeare?

That he won't be alive? Then Brienne luring Jaime to Stoneheart would be pointless.

Brienne and Pod are an exaggerated reversal of Dunk and Egg. Brienne is smart, Pod is stupid, Dunk is stupid, Egg is smart. Brienne has Targaryen blood, Pod is relatively lowborn, Dunk is lowborn, Egg is a Targaryen.

The Lord of Sunspear article doesn't have any references backing up the existence of the title. On the search website I can find nothing that mentions the title "Lord of Sunspear." Doesn't seem like it actually exists.

And he explained exactly how it will be different: in what "hold the door" means. In the show he's physically holding a door, in the book he'll be defending a door with a weapon. What else? He visited Maggy the Frog and let her taste his blood, so she cursed his future, told him the valonqar would make him "hold the door" but he could never ask anyone what valonqar means because all he could say now was hodor? Always knew Hodor and Cersei were connected somehow...

You're right, that was a poor choice of argument. I should have used the Hodor reveal (confirmed by GRRM) instead. That is unquestionably time travel.

That's not what Lemongate is, just a bad subtheory. Lemongate (the lemon tree hinting at false memories) is as real as R+L=J We literally see future-Bran time traveling to communicate with Jon in ACOK lol

Then they would have to change what the "first moon" of the year is to whatever point Aegon was crowned, and that sounds like a lot of unnecessary hassle. And then if it was in the middle of the month they would have to redefine which lunar phase marks the beginning of the month. More unnecessary hassle. Although, you might point out that they may have scheduled the coronation to specifically the first day of the first moon... which would eliminate any need for a year 0. I didn't say there would be, I'm saying they would do it that way out of necessity, because besides a tiny semantic issue that only affects possible a couple months before Aegon's coronation, it would be the solution that makes the most sense. It wouldn't be any weirder than some details about the starting points of calendars in the real world.
