  1. Elio has said multiple times that the date in brackets (114 BC) refers to Aenar leaving Valyria, so the Doom took place in 102 BC. The wiki had it wrong once and the 1436 date seems to be a leftover from that.
  2. Scholz has cornered himself there, he will never ever send Taurus to Ukraine. Just today another motion of the biggest opposition party CDU to send Taurus was rejected.
  3. It's definitely real, a part of the documentary Un président, l'Europe et la guerre, which was available on Youtube at one point.
  4. If Morning had already hatched when Joffrey Velaryon went to King's Landing, he would have told his mother for sure and the small council would have known, too. So I think Morning had not hatched at that point. Anyways, I am not adamant about this.
  5. I think that is not really clear: On the last day of the year [130 AC], two hundred forty-one “barefoot lambs,” [...] were covered with pitch and chained to poles along the broad cobbled thoroughfare that ran eastward from Cobbler’s Square up to the Dragonpit. [...] “Rhaenyra the Pretender was gone, her dragons dead, the mummer kings all fallen, and yet the realm knew not peace,” Septon Eustace wrote soon after. [...] [Aegon II] started with the crownlands, sending forth his own men and the stormlanders of Borros Baratheon against Rosby, Stokeworth, and Duskendale and the surrounding keeps and villages. [...] This campaign proved a grave mistake, for it only served to harden the hearts of the late queen’s men against the king. Reports soon reached King’s Landing of warriors gathering in great numbers at Winterfell, Barrowton, and White Harbor. [...] Even more grave were the tidings from the Vale, where Lady Jeyne Arryn had assembled fifteen hundred knights and eight thousand men-at-arms, and sent envoys to the Braavosi to arrange for ships to bring them down upon King’s Landing. With them would come a dragon. Lady Rhaena of House Targaryen, brave Baela’s twin, had brought a dragon’s egg with her to the Vale…an egg that had proved fertile, bringing forth a pale pink hatchling with black horns and crest. Rhaena named her Morning. It seems to me it was already some time into 131 AC when the Greens learned about Morning, so she could have hatched very early in 131, as well. I would not consider 129 AC an option anymore, though.
  6. The wiki says that the dragon Morning hatched either in late 129 AC or in 130 AC. The first time she is mentioned is at the beginning of 131 AC, though, so I'm not sure why the wiki doesn't consider this date an option, as well.
  7. If you mean the participants at Ashford, Elio once said that they all come from GRRM himself.
  8. I guess all information that is sourced by the BoD page has to be removed, or am I wrong?
  9. @Ran Keeper of the Keys, King's Counter, Warden of the King's Mint, and King's Scales contain information from this page. Can the information in the articles be considered semi-canon or should it be removed?
  10. This would require some strategic planning I just can't believe in. The bizarre thing is that with the Greens and the Liberals two parties in government support the idea to provide Taurus, but for the sake of preserving the coalition they don't vote for the measures which are suggested by the CDU/CSU, the biggest opposition party. I'm sure the Stranger Horse can give a more elaborate answer, but the short one is: There is no decision on the matter because Chancellor Olaf Scholz doesn't want it. He hesitated to provide Ukraine with weapons right from the beginning, including this tank debacle with the Leopards. I would love to get an explanation, but he refuses to give one.
  11. Sure, but since we don't know any of the earlier wielders of Dawn, that doesn't help us to answer the question whether there were Dayne knights before the coming of the Andals, though.
  12. The first known Sword of the Morning is Ser Davos Dayne, who lived a long time after the coming of the Andals.
  13. I think that depends on what exactly is required for a proper knighting. I guess we can agree that it's not enough to just tell anyone 'You are a knight now' or randomly touch the other person with your sword. There has to be some kind of ritual which consists of touching the shoulders with a sword and saying some words (we know that from the Dunk & Egg stories). If these words are more or less formalised and include the mention of the Seven, the followers of the Faith may not consider the members of the brotherhood proper knights. If the words just have to make clear that what you do is a knighting, it may not be an issue.
