>8 seasons >the army of Dorne never makes an appearance or gets involved in any war
Wtf is up with this?
Why didn't Joffrey and Tywin call the Dornish army to fight against Rob Stark? Dorne was technically in service the crown then even if they hated the Lannisters.
And now in Season 8 one of the characters literally just said that Dorne has sworn to fight for Dany, and then she invaded King's Landing without them anyways.
Dorne is de facto independent. Aegon couldn't or didn't conquer it.
Grayson Scott
It seems like the comfiest place to live in the whole show. Everyone just hangs out by the water and relaxes.
John Powell
Because the writers unironically decided to 'write out' Dorne in the tv show around the early seasons. They tried to avoid mentioning Dorne or even showing it on any of the maps for the sake of cohesion.
Then they decided to say 'fuck that' and explore Dorne anyway, making it all seem rushed and pointless.
Adrian Williams
bc D&D decided not to actually adapt the Dorne storyline mostly bc they prob had no idea how to end it. they prob wouldnt have even did they part they did but they had to include obryn cause his death is based
Cooper Scott
>Why didn't Joffrey and Tywin call the Dornish army they were defacto independent it could be said that they were only back into the fold when myrcella was sent there, but by then robb was already defeated so they had no need to mobilize them >And now in Season 8 tv show massacred everything about this area ever since the sand sneks appeared. you're right, it could as well not exist
Noah Martin
in the show, when you kill the leader of a Great House their armies and any resources they have spontaneously combust.
Colton Lopez
Question.
Is Ellaria Sand and Bad Pusy still locked in a dungeon?
Ellaria sand is supposedly still alive except for the fact that the dungeon just collapsed on her.
Aiden Nguyen
others did after him though
Carter Gutierrez
Buried under one now
Matthew Sullivan
Daeron tried and basically got btfo. Then Baelor brought them in peacefully through a marriage alliance, which is why they retained most of their customs and are a principality.
Nathaniel Smith
Who's the new prince of Dorne?
Jose Parker
Too busy drinking fine wine and enjoying blood oranges. Tonight we're having tapas!
Dominic Bell
list all fictional universes you're well versed in
Adam Wilson
It's also why they're able to not send a single soldier to the cause of any king and not face consequences. What are the LanniBaratheons going to do, march across the mountains and try to make them?
Alexander Rogers
Well to be fair Dorne is also rarely explored or mentioned in the books till the kingsguard guy and the princess or whatever chapters. Pretty sure outside of nameless mercs or Essos people Oberyn is one of the first Dornish encountered in the book.
Isaiah Butler
They weren't independent. They just weren't conquered, they were joined to the Targaryen kingdom by marriage.
Adrian Sanchez
That's fucking hilarious, they just forgot about her.
In the show, Dorne is a single palace in a grassy desert. The palace is called Dorne and it is controlled by the Martell family. There are no other noble houses. No Yronwoods, nothing. Martell is destroyed by the bastards of Martell who are killing them in the name of House Martell.
The real problem is they followed the books too much early on. They should have known how this would go down. You could easily remove Dorne and 80% of the time we spent in Essos. Fucking Qarth.
Levi Jones
Pretending to be retarded is still being retarded
Jacob Miller
>Tonight we're having tapas! Namefag with a reddit style sense of comedic delivery. Not surprised.
James Barnes
retarded is thinking LOTR is anywhere near as deep as game of thrones.
Wyatt Ramirez
Yeah, you're right. It's way more deep.
John Sanchez

Isaiah Sanchez
deep as a puddle. good guyz win!
Jack Perez
>Daeron tried and basically got btfo. I love that part, dragon cuck thought the ragheads would fight fair kek.
Jonathan Peterson
>Martells rallying to aid the Lannisters >Any house in Dorne rallying to aid anyone on the throne that isn't a Targaryen >Daynes rallying to fight the Starks
I mean, I get making Dorne happen in the show would have made the story slower and convolute everything even more. But it's stupid how the show just ignored them completely, it would have been pretty easy to include throw away lines in the script to make it an actual place still.
Michael Cook
You're gonna argue depth after these last 2 seasons?
Lucas Wright
the books are deeper and better. They contain the actual story. There is a reason this show went to shit when they didn't have the books to follow.
Oliver Howard
Not really, Dorne had to send their army to fight at The Trident for Rhaegar thanks to his marriage with Elia.
Daniel Robinson
Literally better than it's so shocking when everyone dies the end. Which is why doctoral candidates have written books about Tolkien, he has his own movies, and George the rotund retard Martin spends his time blowing bubbles
Caleb Reyes
George still has better, deeper, and more realistic stories.
Jason Ward
Have you ever heard of water? It's pretty cool. Stuff floats on it and you can put people on the stuff and fucking float the people and even use the wind to do going faster. Wow!
Remember, they also sent Michael Cera to Meeren to learn how to train his dragon.
Jordan Williams
He does but it doesn't go into who he is, where he's from, the fact that his sword is one of a kind and made from a fucking meteor and I think even stronger and lighter than Va-cuckian steel. Actually, when Bran's in the flashback and acknowledges him by saying, "Ser Arthur Dayne!" Bloodraven replies with, "The Sword of the Morning." But that's it.
Ryder Evans
God, I miss the old irreverent Renaissance Pictures romps. Though I guess it was pretty amazing that we got Ash vs. Evil Dead fairly recently to show it wasn't a dead genre.
Tyler Sanders
Lol. Which is why the lotr film series has 475 award wins, 800 nominations, including 17 academy awards and 4 Golden globes, and he was knighted as a commander of the order of the British empire, and got won... Emmies. It's literally incomparable. Got is for braindamaged retards
Austin Gonzalez
>live in The Vale >unaffected by War of 5 Kings >unaffected by White Walkers >unaffected by Dany lol
you mean those same awards that black panther got nominated for?
Zachary Williams
And Harry Potter. And twilight. What's your point? Pretty sure 90210 has more Emmys than got. It's not like asoiaf is drowning in goat nominations either, it's bland genre fiction written by a dipshit sellout
Tyler Allen
yeah, even Black Panther is better than got
Evan Torres
nah
Carson Rivera
i like how they asspulled Dorne and its army during the war council meeting planning their assault on KL and then the showrunners just forgot about them again.
