Not in the way I think you're asking this question, in Westeros.

2026-02-15 00:36:28 +0000 UTCThis seems like something the nobles that don't like him would spread in the hopes of putting him down the ladder

2026-02-13 09:07:22 +0000 UTCIs any dragon from Skyrim or ESO online going to show up?

2026-02-13 08:44:10 +0000 UTCAlso funny: Equestrian Prince - a joke that he's a Valyrian that rides horse not dragons, "A warhose is an honor to ride for any man, for a Valyrian Noble it's like watching a Knight ride a pig to battle" Father's Bane - the rumour going around could be that an innocent lady called Coryanne was fooled into running to Essos by a scoundrel. Ymir killed her paramour and claimed her then killed her father in a duel when he was trying to bring her back into the light of the Seven. Copper Prince - he came into Westeros with trade goods which is a merchantile mindset which would be looked down on as falling under "Counting Coppers" Lustful Prince - the rumour mill could be going with the notion that unlike "proper knights" he's so lustful that when he saw the Good Queen in court he asked for a challenge so he could bed her for a night. These things tend to say more about the fantasies of the rumour creator than the fact of the matter Red-eyed Prince - The rumour could be that when the melee started in the tournament his eyes turned blood red and attacked everyone even his team mates (they would assume he had team mates like the others and not be solo) and it took scores of guards to hold him and only once they let him rip into a live chicken with his teeth did he relent. You can even see bloody feathers on his clothes sometimes from the poor chicken.

2026-02-13 08:02:46 +0000 UTCThere was also the horned king beyond the wall and his brother that do follow some weird twisted religion(they ended up being lost under the tunnels in the north?)

2026-02-13 06:45:37 +0000 UTCHe does get referred to as both. Even as far back as his entry into the Great Hall to be announced the very first time, someone refers to him as a Prince of Nothing. You thought your mind made that up, but nope. I slipped that in already. ;)

2026-02-12 23:14:41 +0000 UTCYeah, I mean, he doesn't have the frame of reference to believe that, but he's obviously against it. Hated Harkon and Molag Bal and all that.

2026-02-12 22:57:33 +0000 UTCGood change. I did laugh when I saw what people were calling him. I imagine the story wouldn't last very long if the Westerosi kept calling the Dragonborn a cuck.

2026-02-12 22:50:16 +0000 UTCNowhere Prince makes me think of Prince of Nothing as an epithet too, but I am purely motivated by rule of cool rather than any realistic manner in which people would view it. Can anyone take a guess at where it might come from?

2026-02-12 22:47:23 +0000 UTCIf it didn't have the context, then it doesn't have the context. I would have been fine with still using it. In-character is in-universe and all that. But since I found an instance that may reference it being used in that way(which is again, weird without the accompanying anti-pagan push by the Catholic Church in the medieval era), it had to go. Not because Ysmir would feel any particular way about it (not a thing in ES) but because Coryanne is the one who was socializing and encouraging different uses of his name and spreading his legend among nobility and so on. Since *she* would hesitate with it, it won't be a thing she pushes. Realism and all that.

2026-02-12 22:46:30 +0000 UTCYea that was one of my thoughts. Not a good look honestly, better for nowhere prince. Cause saying he has horns is, concerning to say the least. I mean to each their own but ya know
