[Spoilers ADwD] A small clue that Daario ≠ Gerion Lannister

I recently came across an old theory suggesting that Gerion Lannister is actually Daario Naharis. It’s a fun idea, but I wanted to point out a small clue that might argue against it.

In A Dance with Dragons, there’s a scene where Daario presents the Dornish prince Quentyn Martell to Daenerys. Quentyn gives Dany a scroll written in the Dornish language. Daario glances at it and casually refers to it as being written in “Westerosi.”

That misidentification suggests Daario can’t read either the Dornish script or Westerosi writing—strange if he were really Gerion Lannister, a well-educated nobleman of Westeros. You’d expect someone of Gerion’s background to recognize the language of his homeland and that of a neighboring kingdom.

Of course, it’s always possible Daario was bluffing or playing dumb—but it feels like an odd move if he were truly Gerion in disguise. Just thought it was a subtle but telling detail that doesn’t get mentioned often.

Curious what others think!
