I love just listening to him talk. He is entirely at ease with himself and his ideas.. By that I mean, he is unhindered by ego when fielding questions, or just recounting his processes. He is not afraid of ever appearing foolish.. I feel because he has sufficient confidence in his thoughts and views, he doesn't feel compelled to bolster them with "manliness" or trying to appear a big shot. Paradoxically, it is through this that I look up to him.

I think it’s pretty amazing that while there are many different fantasy writers, some very different than Tolkien, that he still influences them today. I love finding those kinds of connections between different authors.

[@pepelechad536]

I’d say pretty confidently that it’s impossible for a modern fantasy writer to not be influenced by Tolkien. While there were already existing story tropes from stories such as King Arthur and Beowulf, they were all mastered and perfected for narrative by Tolkien. It’s simply impossible to write proper narrative without using those basic tools that are so ‘Tolkien’ in nature.

[@SiddarthaTB]

@@pepelechad536 I would say long term his immense influence hurt epic fantasy (western fantasy) as many Authors kept sticking to the template and not experiment enough. Nowadays its not a problem anymore but back in the day its what caused Fantasy to be viewed as meh for a long while. Back then only few Epic Fantasy really got published and big backing before fantasy re-emerged. Malazan was one of those, highly recommend it, Its the only fantasy series that has felt the same as ASOIAF in terms of how it draws you into the world and the characters.

Dorne was always the most interesting place to me in Westeros. I always wondered if dorne was more ethnically closer to the martells then say the Danes lol As far as the whole region

[@mtverv]

Dorne is very interesting ethnically. There are actually 3 distinct ethnicities in Dorne. In the south eastern part of the country near the Broken Arm and the Greenblood River you have the Salty Dornish who have the most Rhoynish blood from their Rhoynar ancestors that came over with Princess Nymeria and her people when she came to Dorne after leaving Essos. Near the Red Mountains and by the western river known as the Torrentine you have the Stoney Dornish who have the most Andal and First Men blood from their ancestors who look like most of the rest of the Kingdoms. Then you have the Sandy Dornish. Man, I don’t even know how to describe them since they seem to be a culture all their own and don’t look like either the Stoney or the Salty but have a skin coloring more like African Americans. Dorne is a weird place with a few pretty distinct divides and I’m sure we will see more of it in the future books.

[@danielblack8056]

He did say the Danes shared similar looks with the targaryens yet no one else in dorne is described that way so I wouldn't be surprised if they're somehow connected to valeria

[@mtverv]

@Yarp Yarp “All three sorts seemed well represented in Doran’s retinue. The salty Dornishmen were lithe and dark, with smooth olive skin and long black hair streaming in the wind. The sandy Dornishmen were even darker, their faces burned brown by the hot Dornish sun. They wound long bright scarfs around their helms to ward off sunstroke. The stony Dornishmen were biggest and fairest, sons of the Andals and the First Men, brown-haired or blond, with faces that freckled or burned in the sun instead of browning.” That’s an exact quote from Tyrion’s inner monologue in Tyrion V A Storm of Swords and has also been spoken about in the Dorne section of A World of Ice and Fire. Maybe actually read the material before you try to correct someone on something...

Not at all. Lightbringer is describe as having the same magical properties as dragonglass and therefore Lightbringer is the name given to the dragonsteel sword of the Last Hero. Dragonsteel is magical steel rooted in fire and blood magic, there is only steel like that: Valyrian steel. And in the show we can that valyrian steel blades do the same thing as dragonglass and confirming that valyrian steel blades = Lightbringer.

Don’t wield any sword... He would wield the mighty COCK like Tyrion does

[@majorperk2275]

I didnt know ab the dawn age swords glad I watched

[@Nisshoku]

I hope he has cloud backups of his computer files. Hard drives die, after all.

[@FrostSylph]

I mean Dawn is pretty much the obvious answer. You have all these cool Valyrian steel swords, but then you also have this one super cool one of a kind sword that's totally magic and made from a fallen star and only someone who is deemed "worthy" can wield it so it's only held by the greatest of swordsmen... yeah you're gonna chose that.

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

I love George getting his own lore wrong lmao (Dawn isn't passed to the heir of house Dayne, it's passed to a 'worthy knight')

[@PalashaGabarra]

A worthy knight of house Dayne.

I don’t like how George RR Martin says Valeria. I’m having a crisis

[@jg3_75]

When John is saying bye at winterdwll aftwr bran had his accident, and he’s saying by to bran and cat is being horrible to him.... gets me every time I read it. So sad

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

I could see him using a White Walker or "Others" ice sword!

Blackfrye...The holder has a legit claim on the Iron Throne.

Martin : Valyria Captions : Malaria!

[@JustADad89]

Is this the guy that hosts that show on Netflix (love that show btw) where they tour old castles?? Dan Jones I think his name is

[@UnbowedUnbentUnbroken91]

Please bring the Dawn Georgie..

[@theobserver3753]

The answer was pretty clear from the beginning.

[@shimazutoyohisa2382]

Facts!!!!!! Dawn over any Valerian Steel imo.... Arthur Dayne still the GOAT imo.

[@gbang_34]

Balerion the Black Dread and Dawn, what a combo. I wonder if Dawn kills white walkers?

[@daniellaw4200]

Dawn is jons next sword when he becomes azor ahai confirmed

[@ProtomanButCallMeBlues]

why do people keep saying this? nothing has been made of House Dayne outside of Darkstar. How the hell would Jon even get it? No one from Starfall has shown up. Even Darkstar isn't from Starfall, he's from a cadet house. And Edric is a child that hasn't done anything. In fact all of Dorne has done nothing in the entire series outside of House Martel.

[@gerarquiaFM]

Lightbringer? Could be
