At a workplace, aren't there other identifiers? Their job title, their boss, how long they've worked there etc that can be used to identify them?
Who's Mike? He's in the sales team under Sally. I'll introduce you.
Tommy Fitzpatrick made a bet in a NYC bar that he could travel between NJ and NY in under 15 mins. He stole a plane in NJ, and then landed it on an avenue in NYC. 2 years later a guy at the bar didn't believe his story, so he did it again.
Marriage? Why, it's the greatest weapon in any noble's arsenal! Let me enlighten you on matters of state and power.
Marriage isn't about love; that's a peasant's fantasy. For those of us who bear the weight of ancient houses, marriage is statecraft of the highest order.
When I wed the second daughter of House Tyrell, I gained three castles along the Roseroad and secured my southern border against those Dornish vipers. Her father's bannermen now answer my call; five thousand spears when winter comes.
Marriage binds blood to blood. When your wife bears your children, you've created heirs that unite two powerful lineages. Should some upstart lord challenge either house, they face the combined might of both.
Consider the Lannisters and their gold. A prudent marriage there secures not just coin for your depleted coffers, but access to their formidable fleet. Or perhaps the Arryns, whose impregnable Eyrie would shield your lands from eastern invaders.
Politics shifts like quicksand, but marriage creates bonds that even the most treacherous lords hesitate to break. The realm notices when sacred vows are betrayed, and remembers.
So you ask what's the point? Power, lands, armies, legitimacy, and the future of your house. What greater purpose exists for those of us born to rule?
Now pass the wine. These matters of dynasty have made my throat dry.
