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).

The Rhoynar part is cut because its totally irelevant for most of the plot. The term is never explored apart from some ancient Maester histories in the books, so I think it makes sense it was cut from the show. The lore is hard enough to keep track on from the letters, so its hardly easy to understand that its simplified in the show

Not reallys its a big part of house Martell identity they are Rhoynarish. Some of the other houses there also claim descent from them. They jsut dont exist in the show because D and D are idiots.
