OldLordWalder Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The dothraki in AGOT call Jorah "the andal". However, house Mormont is of the north, which are usually descendants of the first men. Is there any evidence that they actually have andal heritage, much like the Manderlys, or is this just the dothraki assuming everyone from Westeros is andalosi? Since a Stark won Bear Island for the Mormonts, this could mean that they didnt have land elsewhere. I feel like they could be like the Manderlys in this regard, but where the Manderlys still follow andal customs like the seven and knighthood etc, the Mormonts seem very in tune with northern culture.

Thomaerys Velaryon Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The Dothraki call him that out of ignorance. They just assume all Westerosi are descendants of Andals. That's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Stark Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yeah, I agree with the comment above. The Mormonts are northmen through and through. The Dothraki just don't know anything about Westeros, other than that's where the Andals are, so they assume all Westerosi are Andals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hairy bear Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 We are also told that the Dothraki name for the continent of Westeros is Rhaesh Andahli: the land of the Andals. < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
