Martin</a>. </p><p>The title of the episode refers to the Great Sept of Baelor, the main religious building in King's Landing, where the episode's pivotal scene takes place. In the world created by George R. R. Martin, Baelor I Targaryen was a king during a previous century, revered as a patron and supporter of the Faith of the Seven. "Baelor" includes the content of the book's chapters Eddard XV, Catelyn IX, Jon VIII, Tyrion VIII, Catelyn X, Daenerys VIII and Arya V (59–61 and 63–66).<sup id="cite_ref-westeros_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-westeros-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The scene with the drinking game between Tyrion, Bronn and Shae was written specifically for the episode, but the story of Tyrion's ill-fated marriage to Tysha was taken from a previous chapter of the books. Shae's background was changed from Westerosi to foreign to accommodate Kekilli's accent. Other notable divergence from the books include the modification of the whole strategy of Robb Stark when dividing his forces, and a change to the Targaryen genealogy as explained by Maester Aemon: in the TV adaptation the Mad King is described as the son, rather than the grandson, of Aegon V (thus eliminating Jaehaerys II from the succession of kings).<sup id="cite_ref-westeros_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-westeros-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting">Casting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Baelor&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Casting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg/170px-Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="229" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg/255px-Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg/340px-Sibel_Kekilli_at_2006_Golden_Orange_Film_Festival.jpg 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="538" /></a><figcaption>Sibel Kekilli plays the role of the prostitute Shae.</figcaption></figure> <p>"Baelor" marks the first appearance of the German actress <a href="/wiki/Sibel_Kekilli" title="Sibel Kekilli">Sibel Kekilli</a>, in the role of the prostitute Shae. Executive producer George R. R. Martin commented that she was extraordinary in her audition, in which she read the scene where Shae meets Tyrion in a tent the night before the battle of the Green Fork. According to Martin, "a lot of beautiful young women read for Shae. [...] But there's another dimension to Shae as well. She's not as practiced and hardened at this as a more seasoned pro. There's still a girl next door quality to her, a sense of vulnerability, playfulness, and, yes, innocence. [...] All of our Shaes were hot as hell. But only a handful of them captured that other quality, maybe three out of twenty, and Sibel was the standout. [...] Watching those auditions, any red-blooded male would want to take every one of our Shae candidates to bed.
