For those of us who don't know anything about Game of Thrones, and can't pronounce Elvish names, the example in this article reads like:

Flarg → Twipptch → Glorp → Boop → Fwyxnth → AnyRef → Any

So instead of being less boring, I have to use a decoder ring to figure out what's going on here.

I agree to your point, but was it that difficult to decode or follow till the end? You think A, B, C, D would have been better? Or something more logical names to everyone

No, it wasn't impossible to follow, but the extra layer of indirection made me jump back to the top a few times to make sure I had everything straight.

    //Legacy
    abstract class Lannister

    //Father
    trait Tywin extends Lannister

could have just been:

    abstract class Family

    trait Father extends Family

Otherwise, I appreciate the article - it was informative.

Thanks, got your point, will keep it more simple and generic next time :)

Agreed. Disappointing because I think it's well written beyond that.
