It shows the current locations relevant to the show. It has nothing to do with the families. We have never seen Highgarden and the Tyrells have been there for 3 seasons. We have never seen Casterly Rock and the Lannisters are top characters
Holy fukk. Just watched the episode. They're taking this shyt places te books never did. The show is so piff and the writing is so damn good still I have NO PROBLEMS with them deviating from the source material. What a fantastic episode.
The premise behind the story hasn't been cut, just the name Azor Ahai has been cut. There are a lot of prophecies and legends and foreshadowing that aren't named on the show, probably due to both time constraints and also because it would just be even more info for people to digest when they can't even keep up with character names as it is
When I watch the show, I see nothing that contradicts the books in terms of Melisandre and Stannis and Melisandre's belief in Stannis. The only difference is not explicitly stating the name. Except for one major thing.
I think you can feel safe reading this book-only material, as it all happens early in the books and has long been passed on the TV show:
In the books, Stannis wields a sword that glows and lights up and he calls it Lightbringer. This is his personal proof that he is Azor Ahai. But some people suspect it is just a trick that Melisandre is using to help gain support, and the sword isn't actually a new version of Lightbringer but rather a "glamour" (basically a magic trick). Stannis is NOT aware it is a trick, if it indeed is a trick
I dont call her that myself. Boils my blood when nikkas in here dont fully respect Dany Targaryen the 1st of her name, the stormborn, the Unburnt, Khalessi, and the Mother of Dragons
