Talk:Dynasty of Redania

Title
At the moment, 'Redanian dynasty' doesn't accurately address the specific house/family style or title that has ruled the state. It's a bit vague. Would it be more accurate to rename the page as Dynasty of the White Eagle (similar to Dynasty of the Unicorn) or House of the White Eagle? — DunBanner (talk) 09:56, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Youre right, Dynasty of the White Eagle is more correct and shurely better ;) --— Juraj103 (talk) 10:01, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I must admit, I don't know where is it called "Dynasty of the White Eagle". Somewhere in The Witcher 3? — SMiki5five (talk) 10:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Ultimately, I think it's a matter of inference as to whether the most accurate title would be 'Dynasty of the White Eagle'. From The Witcher 3, the location of White Eagle Fort implies that the title of 'White Eagle' is symbolic of the current ruling Redanian dynasty. This link is also established by Abrad's article, the king is seen as the originator of such symbolism associated with the country. Then again, the article describes the eagle as "silver". Unless a family name is attached to the dynasty, it would be inaccurate to title it 'House of the White Eagle' because that doesn't really reflect the hereditary nature of family titles. Furthermore, 'Redanian dynasty' is too vague and is at odds at similar articles about noble/royal families. Perhaps someone from CDPR's writing/lore department can be contacted for comment? — DunBanner (talk) 13:11, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * In heraldry, white ≈ silver (argent), White Eagle of Poland is also called "silver" in blazon. About the contact, maybe Marcin Momot or Marcin Blacha from forum group? — SMiki5five (talk) 13:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Surely Momot, he seems to have more time :P EDIT: so who will ask? --— Juraj103 (talk) 14:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * So ?--— Juraj103 (talk) 18:46, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * From the strings file :
 * [...] The kingdom is currently ruled by Radovid the Fifth, very rightly nicknamed "The Stern", an irreconcilable enemy of all mages and sorcerers. Its emblem -- a white eagle painted on a red field, its capital -- Tretogor, built upon the ruins of an elven city." Nothing more is mentioned. Personally, i thought "Redanian dynasty" was a much better title for the page. Why are we, all of a sudden, on a quest to "name" these dynasties? — Game widow ( talk ) 19:14, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * And Sapkowski didn't name it, he only used "Redanian dynasty", "Temerian dynasty" etc. Maybe these dynasties just don't have names? — SMiki5five (talk) 21:39, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That is my go to assumption — Game widow ( talk ) 10:40, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
