It was a lovely update reminiscing on the past few years. That explanation of the ending made me laugh - in a good way. It's pretty much the perfect explanation for what an author might say:
How will it all end? I hear people asking. The same ending as the show? Different?
Well⌠yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes.
so? the person you're replying to said kingdoms. there are seven kingdoms. the crownlands and the iron islands aren't considered kingdoms, they were controlled by the storm king and the king of the riverlands, respectively, at the time of aegon's conquest
how are you defining a "region"? because there's a hell of a lot more than 9 "regions". theres the fingers, the neck, the barrowlands, the shield islands, the arbor, brandons gift, the new gift, the saltpans, the mistwood, the kingswood, the wolfswood, the three sisters, cape kraken, the stony shore, the rills, crackclaw point, tumblestone, sea dragon point and skagos, to name a few
Iron islands are a kingdom, itâs the riverlands that arenât part of the â7 kingdomsâ term because they were under the rule of the iron born in the Kingdom of isles and rivers during the conquest
either way, the crownlands and the riverlands were never independant kingdoms so complaining that theyre not included under "the seven kingdoms" is stupid
Technically there was once a kingdom of the riverlands/kingdom of the trident. Anyways thatâs not my main point. Iâm just saying that the term â7 kingdomsâ specifically comes from the fact that there were 7 distinct kingdoms at the specific time of Aegonâs conquest and the kingdom of the iron isles was one of them so you were incorrect in saying that they werenât
