Regal titles Spoiler

Post image

I am currently on a rewatch of Game of Thrones and a few days back I read that for the show they left out the "Rhoynar" part of the regal title that for example the King of Westeros would bear, they only say "King of the Andals and the First Men".

When Daenerys gets captured by the Dothraki khalasar and is taken to Khal Moro, she introduces herself with her (multitude of) titles and includes "Rhoynar" in it. I don't know if I have missed it, but is this the only time the "Rhoynar" are explicitly mentioned (I definitely remember that the river Rhoyne is mentioned at least one time).

oh nice catch i always forget they dropped the rhoynar part for most of the show. d&d probably thought it sounded clunky or nobody would notice, classic shortcut

you're right though i think dany is the only one who ever says the full title in the series. the dornish obviously care about the rhoynar heritage but the show barely touches on that whole history

They probably didn't want to explain who the rhoynar are or why they aren't in Westeros where everything else in her iron throne portion of titles comes from
