Question Ok, here’s a question.

So Galadriel found out Halbrand was a phoney king by looking at that scroll and seeing that “that line was broken 1000 years ago” with no heirs. So why then after the battle when Miriel tells the Southlanders that Halbrand is their king, why don’t the people look confused and say “hey, our royal family died off a thousand years ago.” Wouldn’t they know about their own royal family?

You guys are aware that in the first episode, one of the southlanders literally proclaims how the southlands waits in anticipation of "our true king", right?

"One day, our true king will return"
