This video is one of two extra videos released today and mostly for non-book readers/people that haven't seen my other history videos. Also, giveaway round 3 announced at end of video.
i hate that i missed the contest cause those posters look dope as shit i just recently came across your channel and little to say i've been binge watching you for two days straight don't stop you're amazing!!!!!
I agree. I would love to hear anything and everything there is about house Reed and the Neck. I really hope we get a PoV character that at least teaches us something new about Howland Reed and what he's been up to all this time.
Every major house of a region has that one other house that tries to over throw them. The Starks had the Boltons, the Tullys had the Freys, and the Lannisters had the Reyne (no longer). Who is that house for the Martells?
MrShway88 Yeah. I say Yronwood too. They were the last of the hold outs during the Rhoynish/Martell conquest of Dorne, but I still wouldn't put them in the same class as Bolton or Frey.
MrShway88 Nogalsmetalica and Steve French have it right. Yronwood is still salty over losing their power to the Martells. They like to rebel any real opportunity they get.
So many interesting historical characters that I didnt know about lived in Dorne, and the modern ones that are in the show : Oberyn Martell - Easily the best character from Dorne so far, Doran, Areo and the tragedy that are the sand snakes. Here is a pretty legendary quote that sums up what HBO have done - 'You want a good girl, but you need a bad pussy'
***** They have different views on how to get vengeance for Oberyn, one of them wants open war, another wants to kill a few people like Cersei. Plus, there is somewhat of a fight with them against Areo Hotah where Myrcella has an ear cut off, it's a lot better in general.
Rawrist great video as usual :) I'm gonna be when we finally do finish up these Dorne videos, but I am super excited to see which house we are going to be getting into next. I voted for house Arryn, only because there was no house Reed option(that is most likely because there isn't enough info to make a whole series for them) But I will be happy no matter which house is next, so I guess it doesn't really matter to me :) thanks for the great content. Oh, and I'll keep my fingers crossed to win one of those awesome posters :P
I wonder what would become of House Martell if the Rhoynar didnt come to Dorne, they would probably be a minor house today and Dorne would be controlled by House Yronwood. Anyway, great video as always Rawrist!
TalkingandKilling I think that Aegon I would have been able to conquer Dorne if they hadn't been united under the Martells. Aegon would've been able to play the minor houses off against each other and take over, much like the Andals did with the First Men. No telling which house would've served the crown as the local leader, probably Yronwood as you say.
Jeff Ralston Thats probabky how it would happen, without the unbreakable will of the martells, Dorne would have fallen easily to the dragon lords, but imagine how the current westeros would be with house Yronwood leading Dorne, no dornish master plan, no raping of elia, no butchering of elias children...things would probably be a lot different, its funny to think how things could have changed without a certain house/person to start certain events.
Jeff Ralston I agree. If Dorne hadn't been united, taking them would have been much easier for Aegon I. But then again, you never know with those spicy Dornishmen...
The Tales of Dunk and Egg are pretty interesting, it takes place about 90 years before ASoIaF although it's not really a book but more of a comic following Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg (Aegon Targaryen).
It's kind of ridiculous that RR says almost everyone is a mix of andal/first men if they came to the continent only 2000-6000 years before, unless there were just no first men, like their population was super tiny.
Just wanting to express general thanks to your interesting videos ;) Very happy to hear more about Dorne from the books as the show was rather disappointing in comparison.
I think what I've always wondered was why the Martells were for lack of better term cool with the Targaryens? Based on their history of wars, Rhaegar's infidelity that lead to Elia's death, and their grudge holding ways it wouldn't seem like they wouldn't be.
Aditya Sawant It won't be for GoT/ASOIAF videos for a while. It will be my other videos. I'm finishing up some last minute changes and then I should be good to go
Aditya Sawant Yup, check through my video history. I have a lot of reviews for other shows and did many other videos before/during GoT. You only see GoT right now because it's the off season for shows I watch. Also, I'm starting more comic stuff. Some GoT/ASOIAF only people might not like it, but I want to stay true to what I started this channel for. :)
I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want I want it I want it I want it ....you know nothing Jon Snow.
am I a racist for not liking how they changed Areo's race in the show? In my defense, i'm the kind of obnoxious nerd that hates pretty much every change they made to the books. Not that the show isn't great and all... but i really do love the books, perhaps too much.
The Dorne/house Martell story line is probably one of my favorites in the series. It's a shame the show had to ruin it.
Ali Fabela I hope Martin keeps his story his own, and it won't just all turn out like the show. I want to see the Tommen, Dany, Stannis, Aegon VI wars
#11 Ser Pounce is actually the one who convinced Dorne to join the Seven Kingdoms
I so want a kitten to name Ser Pounce, but Samuel L. Jackson (my cat not the actor) is so ill-tempered.
Liberater4589 Hey Liberator. Is it true that Qybern animated some of Pounces 9 lives into Robert Strong to give him agility and killer instinct?
Steve French
Steve French only rumors for now but I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest
Are you saying Ser Pounce is warging humans?
Your 10 facts are exactly why House Martell is my favorite and region in westerns thank you for the video posting
This video is one of two extra videos released today and mostly for non-book readers/people that haven't seen my other history videos. Also, giveaway round 3 announced at end of video.
I love these videos!
They clear up all the stuff i missed whilst reading the books.
Thank you for posting these videos!
Two videos instead of one, must be my lucky day!!

House greyjoy next best to do the houses with the most compact histories first. Great video once again
Minato D Roger The Iron Islands have a fun history.
i hate that i missed the contest cause those posters look dope as shit i just recently came across your channel and little to say i've been binge watching you for two days straight don't stop you're amazing!!!!!
Thank you for giving me something to do until next April when season 6 comes out.
Thanks for this video. I've voted for Essos, love the exocticness.
I would love to see a series about the Neck and House Reed!
babuton Oooo. Me too. Why do I always forget about the Reeds?
I agree. I would love to hear anything and everything there is about house Reed and the Neck. I really hope we get a PoV character that at least teaches us something new about Howland Reed and what he's been up to all this time.
Steve French I think it is because they are so shrouded in mystery ;)
I'd love to know more history of the dothraki
Did you know those in dorn are often a masters of poisons
Meria Martell is the Olenna tyrell of her era
Thanks Rawrist!
Every major house of a region has that one other house that tries to over throw them. The Starks had the Boltons, the Tullys had the Freys, and the Lannisters had the Reyne (no longer). Who is that house for the Martells?
MrShway88 House Yronwood, Im sure Rawrist mentioned them a couple of times including in this video
MrShway88 Yeah. I say Yronwood too. They were the last of the hold outs during the Rhoynish/Martell conquest of Dorne, but I still wouldn't put them in the same class as Bolton or Frey.
MrShway88 Nogalsmetalica and Steve French have it right. Yronwood is still salty over losing their power to the Martells. They like to rebel any real opportunity they get.
So many interesting historical characters that I didnt know about lived in Dorne, and the modern ones that are in the show :
Oberyn Martell - Easily the best character from Dorne so far, Doran, Areo and the tragedy that are the sand snakes.
Here is a pretty legendary quote that sums up what HBO have done - 'You want a good girl, but you need a bad pussy'
The sand snakes sucks
***** they suck in the show.......in books they're way better.....interesting actully
Wow how much more interesting
***** They have different views on how to get vengeance for Oberyn, one of them wants open war, another wants to kill a few people like Cersei. Plus, there is somewhat of a fight with them against Areo Hotah where Myrcella has an ear cut off, it's a lot better in general.
Wow they leave a lot of the book plots from the show
when you get to the Riverlands you should do an episode(s) on Harrenhal and the Houses that ruled it?
Rawrist great video as usual :)
I'm gonna be when we finally do finish up these Dorne videos, but I am super excited to see which house we are going to be getting into next. I voted for house Arryn, only because there was no house Reed option(that is most likely because there isn't enough info to make a whole series for them) But I will be happy no matter which house is next, so I guess it doesn't really matter to me :) thanks for the great content.
Oh, and I'll keep my fingers crossed to win one of those awesome posters :P
Jorah the Thrice-Exiled Thank you! Even if you don't win, there will be plenty of giveaways in the future :D
Great videos! Where do they grow the lemons?
want that poster
Another awesome video! Last night I had a crazy great ambian and Rawrist induced dream!!! I was fabulous
Queensage77 lol, I hope there were dinosaurs and ASOIAF characters in it :)
I wonder what would become of House Martell if the Rhoynar didnt come to Dorne, they would probably be a minor house today and Dorne would be controlled by House Yronwood. Anyway, great video as always Rawrist!

This was a great vid!!!!♡♡♡♡
Great video
Shame the sand snakes were kind of a flop, wanted to see more of dorne...
Really love your videos !! :)
Edan Sh Dorne is in the next season. Crossing fingers it isn't disaster-land round 2. *pretty please*
Any suggestions on what other books by george rr I should read?
Jo Zee Do you want my recommendations for his ASOIAF universe books or non-ASOIAF universe books?
Rawrist non-ASOIAF
The Tales of Dunk and Egg are pretty interesting, it takes place about 90 years before ASoIaF although it's not really a book but more of a comic following Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg (Aegon Targaryen).
Yeah I did read that and it was pretty cool. I love the story's within ASOIAF like early history that explains how the world was shaped!
Winter is Coming Stark poster!
Elia martell video please?
It's kind of ridiculous that RR says almost everyone is a mix of andal/first men if they came to the continent only 2000-6000 years before, unless there were just no first men, like their population was super tiny.
how come they resisted Aegons dragons?
***** aah poisons!!
Just wanting to express general thanks to your interesting videos ;)
Very happy to hear more about Dorne from the books as the show was rather disappointing in comparison.
***** Thanks for watching and yes, they dropped the ball on Dorne :(
I think what I've always wondered was why the Martells were for lack of better term cool with the Targaryens? Based on their history of wars, Rhaegar's infidelity that lead to Elia's death, and their grudge holding ways it wouldn't seem like they wouldn't be.
I think it goes back farther than that. It goes back to their ancestors v. their ancestors; the Rhoynar vs. the Valyrians.
+Lul Llipop That's actually a good point to bring up. Totally didn't think about that one.
Yes
When will we see your face in the videos? ;)
Aditya Sawant It won't be for GoT/ASOIAF videos for a while. It will be my other videos. I'm finishing up some last minute changes and then I should be good to go
Rawrist you make other videos? Are they on a different channel because I see only the GoT/ASOIAF videos in my subscription tab.
Aditya Sawant Yup, check through my video history. I have a lot of reviews for other shows and did many other videos before/during GoT. You only see GoT right now because it's the off season for shows I watch. Also, I'm starting more comic stuff. Some GoT/ASOIAF only people might not like it, but I want to stay true to what I started this channel for. :)
Rawrist looking forward to your other videos too :)
I love the show but i'm seriously annoyed at how badly they handled Dorne. At the end of season 5 i'm just like, "*sigh* why even bother?"
Such an awesome region... Shame d&d decided to give precisely zero fucks about it
What region is next?
Black Fuzz Studios I'll look at the poll this Thursday/Friday and then update everyone
I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want I want it I want it I want it ....you know nothing Jon Snow.
Woah😱 I am quite literally first
am I a racist for not liking how they changed Areo's race in the show? In my defense, i'm the kind of obnoxious nerd that hates pretty much every change they made to the books.
Not that the show isn't great and all... but i really do love the books, perhaps too much.
Starkkkkkk
Too bad dorne makes no sense in the t.v. show
John-Larry Lising I know :(
