Dornei

Dornei is a fictional region featured in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series and its television adaptation, "Game of Thrones." Located in the southernmost part of the continent of Westeros, Dorne is geographically distinct from the other regions due to its arid and hot climate. This harsh environment has shaped its people and culture, making them known for their passionate and fiercely independent nature.

The Dornish people are often depicted as having darker hair and complexions compared to the inhabitants of the North. Their society is also notable for its more relaxed social norms regarding gender roles, with women holding positions of power and influence more commonly than in other parts of Westeros. The ruling house of Dorne is House Martell, whose sigil is a gold sun pierced by a red spear. Their ancestral seat is Sunspear.

Historically, Dorne was one of the last of the Seven Kingdoms to be incorporated into the realm of Westeros. Unlike the other kingdoms, which were conquered by Aegon the Conqueror, Dorne resisted assimilation through a combination of guerrilla warfare and strategic marriages. It eventually joined the Seven Kingdoms peacefully through a marriage alliance, a fact that has contributed to a lingering sense of separate identity among its people. The region is characterized by its unique architecture, often featuring Moorish influences, and its rich traditions of poetry, music, and dance. The Dornish are also renowned for their skill with the spear and their preference for lighter, more flexible armor.
