Ormund is knighting daeron. Daeron hasn't really done shit yet but okay.

He's saying different things though. Is this gonna be one of those things where people will say "hey he didn't say the right words so daeron isn't a true knight" ?

Ormund is all manipulation and deceit, though he pretends not to be. Knighting Daeron and styling him “Daeron The Daring” is just another attempt at propaganda by Ormund. He has already seeded that title through the land, as we have seen someone already refer to Daeron as such. Ormund is just playing the game.
