Has Tyrion assigned someone to protect Casterly Rock while he’s away? Is it just sitting there abandoned after Daenerys Targaryen’s siege in Season 7, Episode 3? With all the rush to get the HBO show to the finish line, George R.R.
Since it’s gone unmentioned, though, it remains a loose character thread. As Hand of the King, Tyrion still holds power and, as the last living Lannister, he can now claim Casterly Rock as his even if we never see it happen on screen. We could argue all day about Game of Thrones Season 8 and how much it had to pack in terms of information and development to get to its ending, but it’s safe to say the show cut corners on its character growth to do it.
Claiming it as his own would have legitimized him in a similar manner as Gendry becoming Lord of Storm’s End, but Game of Thrones kind of forgot to mention it. However horribly he was treated by his father and sister Cersei, Casterly Rock was still home for Tyrion and meant as much to him as Winterfell did to the Starks and the Iron Islands to Yara Greyjoy (even if that wasn’t as clear in the show as it was in the books). He didn’t have much to call his own, even recognizing that his status was akin to Jon Snow being known as a bastard. For so long, he was considered less than a man and certainly not a true Lannister.
