House Rules and Guidelines::

The list below is current and are the known houses of Dorne. They are listed in groups, then alphabetical order. Group 1 Greater Vassels & Masterly Houses; Group 2 Lessor Vassels & Nobles Houses; Group 3 Restricted.

1. Houses with an {*} are Greater Vassels & Major Houses. Players can not make characters that are direct family members of Greater Vassals. Only Co-GMs are allowed to NC these characters and houses. Players with GM approval may be allowed to be part of the house hold, with a position of status 1 or 2, and can not hold a title of position.
   
   
2. Houses that are in ITALIC are Lessor Vassals & Minor Houses in which we could not find information in any cannon to work with. Players can develop these houses freely or until cannon is released to be added in the future. Co-GMs & GM have finial approval on their creation, but players will be allowed to develop these houses freely. There are no current restrictions for characters that fall under this section, and players are allowed to be heads of house and heirs.
   
   
3. Restriction: Houses in or part of the follow list are restricted; Dorne Houses of the Boneway. If a Player is interested in coming from these Lands or Houses they most first submit a developed and complete storyline with as much details as possible. The submittal most then fit with the others player houses and PCs. Please note that most (90%) of ideas for these houses will be rejected due to there backgrounds and social standing in the political setting of this game.
   
   
4. Houses without sigils are open for players to create PCs except for 'The Lord Prince' or 'Princess/Lady of the house'. Players are welcomed to create heirs and or 1st born sons and daughters as well as bastards. Plan carefully with Co-GMs & GM to discuss all ideas before making changes or development of these houses. You will be required to follow the current set-up. Players will have no control over how the house is developed during play. This includes house fortunes, wealth and other improvements unless a PC becomes 'The Lord' or 'Lady of the house'. Lastly if a player does gain control of a non-player house, they will be required not to alter that families history in any way with these PCs and they will be forced to follow known written history when the time arises.
   
   
5. Houses with sigils are restricted for players to create PCs except for daughters. Players may play daughters of the family. Please keep in mind that they will be married off when they come of age and even sent away if betrothed. If already married the player will have some say in the matter. If they become of age during play (IC) it will be based on the current events of the game. Players may also create characters for these house holds (not family members) of statues 3 or lower and they may hold a title and position.
   
   
6. Player Houses will not have restrictions in Player Character & Player House creation. Players will be allowed to freely develop these houses, characters and backgrounds. Please see link to a message in this game for the main player houses in Dorne.

House Fortunes:

Dawn: is the ancestral greatsword of House Dayne, whose wielder is always given the title Sword of the Morning. Dawn is largely the reason for House Dayne's fame. Its origins are lost to legend, but it seems likely that the Daynes have carried it for thousands of years. It is said to be made from metal forged from the heart of a fallen star. The blade is as pale as milkglass, looking like no Valyrian blade, yet sharing all of the properties, being incredibly strong and sharp. Unlike other houses who have ancestral swords, House Dayne does not pass its sword from lord to lord. Only a knight of House Dayne who is worthy can wield it. The name of the Daynes' castle, Starfall, and their arms, featuring a white sword and falling star, both reference Dawn.

Starfall: built of pale, white stone it sits atop a rocky island outcrop a hundred feet above the river mouth. There are stone ladders carved into the face of the outcrop which allow for quick access to the river and docks from above. These are known as the 'Father's Ladders' as it is said no unjust man may mount them. The nobles of Starfall are very careful however, and the Ladders are guarded by murder holes and open into a courtyard that has only one exit, a low tunnel that can be flooded in times of emergency. The castle itself has two walls, a fifteen foot high curtain wall and a twenty five foot high inner wall. There is but one gate through the curtain walls on the southern side, hard against the edge of the outcrop. A potential invader would have to ride around the entire curtain wall, as the sole road up to Starfall come from the north which is exposed to arrow fire the entire way and with the Daynes attempting to block the road. The inner gate is situated on the north side of the wall and so once more an invader would have to traverse the outer bailey exposed to fire from two or more directions.

The outer bailey is where the stables, refuge, kitchen gardens, sept and Godswood are to be found. The inner bailey is where the barracks, practice yard, the great kitchen, small garden, and forge are located. The keep is where the Lords of Starfall and their family's household and retainers live. It is a fortress first and foremost, and whilst it is comfortably appointed it is primarily meant for defence. The keep contains the great hall, the small hall, the small kitchen and the library, as well as the various chambers and solars of the servants and retainers of House Dayne. The keep also has a courtyard.

Tower of Dusk: rising from the center of the keep, from it's lofty summit that the beacon fire is lit at night as a warning to ships passing close to shore. The Tower of Dusk is where the Maester and Septon keep their quarters and is the smallest of the two towers of the keep.

Tower of Dawn: is the a great tower, located near the front of the keep. The Tower of Dawn is the largest tower in the stronghold and at the top of the tower is located The Chamber of The Sword, were Dawn is kept until a bearer is judged worthy of it. When Dawn is present this chamber is guarded night and day. When a new Sword of The Morning is named he is resident in this tower, the only permanent residents are the Captain of Guards and the master-of-arms.

Palestone Sword: is the largest tower, and one of the largest in all Dorne, behind only the Spear Tower at Sunspear and the Wardens Tower at Yronwood. It is the residence of the Prince of Sunspear and his immediate family when they visit Starfall. The Palestone Sword is located within the castle Starfall, as it looks out over the great, open Summer Sea.

Starfall: the ancestral castle of House Dayne in Dorne, located in the western Red Mountains on an island in the Torentine where it pours into the Summer Sea. Starfall, which includes a tower called the Palestone Sword, guards the western arm of Dorne.

Red Mountains: the western mountain region extending over by the river Torentine which flows from the mountains to the Summer Sea.

Torrentine: is a river in Dorne which flows south from the western Red Mountains to the Summer Sea. The castles of Starfall is located on the Torentine. It is a fast river which passes through a series of rapids, waterfalls, canyons, and crevasses.

History

House Dayne of Starfall are one of the most ancient houses in the Seven Kingdoms, claiming ancestry dating back ten thousand years to the dawn of days. Though their fame largely rests on their ancestral sword, called Dawn, and the men who wield it. The first Dayne is said to have raised Starfall on an island at the mouth of the Torrentine, having tracked a falling star there and found a stone of magical powers. His descendants, thereafter, became the First Men Kings of the Torrentine and Lords of Starfall.

The Daynes have taken part in many battles between Dorne and the Reach. In particular, they have been killing Oakhearts for thousands of years and King Samwell Dayne, called the Starfire, once burned Oldtown. The last Dayne King, Vorian Dayne, known as the Sword of the Evening, was defeated in Nymeria's War and sent to the Wall. Afterwards the Daynes supported Nymeria against King Yorick V Yronwood. Nymeria's third husband was Ser Davos Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. Nymeria was later succeeded by her eldest daughter by her first husband, Mors Martell, not her son by Davos.

When the Dornish fought against the House Targaryen, Ser Joffrey Dayne led an Dornish army and marched to the very walls of Oldtown, razing the fields and villages outside it. Another Sword of the Morning of note was Ulrick Dayne. He was considered an exceptional knight by Ser Eustace Osgrey, comparable as a swordsman to Daemon I Blackfyre and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight.

Skyreach: is an ancient castleand once the home to the First Men kings of House Fowler. It was carved into the stony slopes which overlooks the Wide Way, the shortest and easiest route through the Red Mountains from Dorne to the Reach. Skyreach is known for its lofty perch and soaring towers. It is located on a small plateau next to a town with the same name and is connected by a bridge. The castle itself is on the small side, consisting of a large guard house, and octagonal keep and several towers with many additions built over the years. The castle itself is more of a fortified palace than it is a castle, with large windows, and big arches. It is lavishly decorated with intricate marble carvings. The keep is built around a high octagonal hall from where you could see the galleries of multiple floors above the main hall. There are many rooms in the castle and it can only hold a limited amount of soldiers and guests. However the view from the castle is very pretty, one could oversee the town and the valleys surrounding it. From the higher parts of the castle one could see a large portion of the pass running through the Red Mountains, except for the parts where it runs around the mountain range. One could even see the deserts of Dorne stretching out behind the mountains on a clear day.

Wide Way: also knows as the Prince's Pass is one of the principal overland routes from the Reach and the stormlands to Dorne, the shortest and easiest route between the Reach and Dorne. It is guarded by the Lords of the Wide Way, the Kings of Stone and Sky from House Fowler, who carved Skyreach into its stony slopes. The Fowlers submitted to House Martell during Nymeria's War, however, and the route became known as the Prince's Pass, as the Martells used the title of "prince" in the Rhoynish custom. . It is located in the Dornish Red Mountains, also known as the Prince's Pass.

Red Mountains: it lies cradled between several mountain ranges in the highest reaches of the mountains. The second half of the Prince’s path travels to Skyreach until in descents into the deserts. The region is an impressive sight to behold with its valleys nestled between steep canyons and cliff faces of red rock. Although Skyreach lies in an arid region, some of its peaks are high enough to be covered in snow even during prolonged summers. Sparse forests of thin pine trees cover some of the uninhabited valleys and mountainsides and wildlife is surprisingly abundant in the region. The mountain ranges are home to cattle herders and hunters. There are many small hamlets and villages spread throughout this region and most of them lie on top of ridges and plateaus that are easily defendable.

Valley Regions: farmers have their farms in the narrow valleys where they use simple dams of stone and gravel to divert the melt water from the streams running through the valley to irrigate their fields. These valleys often become little paradises in an otherwise harsh region and the conditions are favourable enough to grow all sorts of crops. Farmers in the higher reaches of the region often cultivate olives, figs and grains whereas the farmers in the lower reaches cultivate fruits depending on the season. In warm summers they grow citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges whereas in the cooler winter periods they grow apples and peaches.

There is an abundance of minerals in the region but the mines are relatively few. Most mines produce iron, copper and tin, though also small amounts of gold can be found in the region. Quarries are more common in the region and Skyreach has become one of the larger producers of Marble and the Red Sandstone which is so distinctive in Dornish masonry.

History

The Age of Heroes: The Fowlers were First Men kings who ruled from Skyreach, which guarded the Wide Way between Dorne and the Reach. They titled themselves Kings of Stone and Sky and Lords of the Wide Way. Along with the Daynes and Yronwoods, the Fowlers were among the most powerful of the Dornish kings.

The Andal Invasion: The Fowlers often warred with the marcher lords to their north. King Ferris Fowler led 10,000 Dornishmen through the Wide Way to the Kingdom of the Reach, but they were turned back by King Garth VII Gardener.

The Rhoynar Invasion: Following the defeat of King Garrison Fowler, who was then exiled to the Night's Watch, the Fowlers sided with the Martells against the Yronwoods during Nymeria's War a thousand years ago. Since then they have feuded with the Yronwoods, the Wardens of the Stoneway east of the Prince's Pass.

The War of Conquest: In 10 AC during the War of Conquest, Lord Fowler led a Dornish host which burned Nightsong and took hostages from the marcher castle. The Targaryens retaliated by unleashing their dragons on Skyreach and other Dornish castles.

Red Mountains: are an extensive mountain range in the south of Westeros. They form a barrier between Dorne to the south and the Stormlands and the Reach to the north and west.

Prince's Pass: is one of the principal overland routes in the Red Mountains, linking Dorne to the Stormlands and the Reach. The Prince's Pass begins south of Nightsong and proceeds southwards through the mountains into the northwest of Dorne, emerging near Skyreach.

History

House Manwoody's castle seat guards the western of the two passes that lead through the Red Mountains into Dorne, known as the Prince's Pass. Kingsgrave is located further north, about halfway through the mountains. As a result, the Manwoodys are marcher lords, always the first line of defense in the frequent border wars which occurred in the Dornish marches between Dorne, the Stormlands, and the Reach. The name "Kingsgrave" as well as the Manwoody sigil, a crowned skull, refer to the fact that an old King of the Reach was slain in battle there centuries ago.

As they are located deep within the Red Mountains, the Manwoodys are "Stony Dornishmen", those with the least Rhoynar bloodlines. Instead, the Stony Dornishmen are primarily composed of the same First Men/Andal ethnic mixture as the rest of southern Westeros. As a result, Stony Dornishmen tend to be tall and light-haired.

The Age of Heroes: Manwoody in it's founding, was a forgotten backwater region nestled in an ancient fortress upon the red mountains, faceless defenders. The ancient house, Manwoody, was largely forgotten by the Dornishmen not familiar with the immediate area, but to those along Prince's Pass, Manwoody's fame stretched to it's peak. For their lord was the head of defense against a savage war with the Reach. When the king of the Reach marched southward, intent on conquering Dorne, he met the wrong end of Ezekiel Manwoody's spear, he found only death in the Southern lands. It was then House Manwoody was put on the map, noted for being the most stalwart of defenders amongst the houses of the Princess Pass. Ezekiel, personally, beheaded the monarch in combat, claiming glory so great, and was called the Valiant Defender. Their crest bares witness to their glory, and shines as an example for all future kings who dare set foot, unwelcomed, in Dorne. Ezekiel reigned for 38 years in total before dying, leaving behind his fame and fortune that helped turn his keep into what is now known as Kingsgrave.

History

Andal Invasion: House Martell was founded by Morgan Martell, an Andal adventurer who settled between the mouth of the Greenblood and the Broken Arm. Morgan led the defeat of the local First Men, including Houses Wade and Shell, and the Martells ruled a strip of land fifty leagues long and ten leagues wide. They did not rule as kings, but were cautious vassals of kings from Houses Jordayne, Allyrion, and Yronwood, as well as petty kings of the Greenblood.

Nymeria's War: At the time of the Rhoynish Wars, the Martells were one of the lesser ruling families of Dorne, which was a collection of feuding petty kings and lords even as the other regions of Westeros began to consolidate into larger realms. When Nymeria, the warrior queen of the Rhoynar, came with her people to Westeros from Essos in ten thousand ships, the Martell lands were dwarfed by those of House Yronwood. However, Nymeria took Mors Martell, Lord of the Sandship, as her husband and, combining their strength, the two managed to unite all of Dorne under their rule in Nymeria's War; House Nymeros Martell has reigned since.

The union of their peoples saw the Martells abandon many of their older Andal customs in favor of those of the Rhoynar. Nymeria named Mors Prince of Dorne instead of king, and their lands and title passed down to the eldest child regardless of gender. The Spear Tower and the Tower of the Sun, the towers of Sunspear's Old Palace, were built in the Rhoynish fashion.

Targaryen Wars: After Aegon I Targaryen waged his War of Conquest, he came to Dorne. In the First Dornish War his army was bled dry by guerrilla warfare in the desert, a situation in which his dragons were of little use. Deciding that conquering Dorne would be too costly, the Conqueror opted to leave the Martells as sovereign princes. House Martell kept Dorne independent from the Targaryens, the only one of the Seven Kingdoms to manage such a feat.

In 110 AC the Martells joined the Triarchy in the war against Prince Daemon Targaryen in the Stepstones. Daemon's brother, King Viserys I Targaryen, spoke of wedding his daughter Rhaenyra to the Prince of Dorne as a way of finally uniting the Seven Kingdoms, though ultimately this did not occur.

After repeated failed attempts at conquest, most notably under Daeron I and later by Aegon IV.
