Gothlyr[edit]

I've restored an edit from an anonymous contributor which added Gothlyr as King of Daggerfall prior to King Mortyn. This was reverted for being speculatory. The source given is The Wolf Queen, which states:

"Who is the current King of Daggerfall? Mortyn, son of Gothlyr."

The context in which this is presented is a tutoring lesson discussing various Tamrielic rulers. "X son of x" is a common way of referring to mononymous persons, particularly kings. In context, I think it's entirely fair to assume that the reason Potema is learning Gothlyr's name is because he was the previous king. —⁠Legoless (talk) 10:51, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Alright! After reading this passage ten times again, it does make sense to me, too. --Vordur Steel-Hammer (TINV1K) 17:53, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
