The scream implies she is strongly associated with the fight-Ned hears her scream as they come together in a rush of steel and shadow.īut Ned remembers and hears Lyanna in numbers contexts, in and out of dreams, as well as the blood, roses, cries, and promises.

My apologies for imprecision of language. So its a lie to claim nothing in the dream places her at ToJ. Even ignoring the dream title, Ned's mind places her there in the dream by the scream, one way or another. Or figuratively/symbolically/associatively if you prefer (I do). She is placed there in the dream by the scream, literally, if you insist on that. The real point here is that the statement was made outright that nothing in the dream places her there, and thats wrong. You know I believe, and I know you disagree, that its Ned's description of the dream that proves she is there. The scream strongly implies she is there and is part of a collective of evidence that overall even more strongly implies she was there. Thats not the argument that its made though. The Rhoynar influence remains strong in Dorne.If the mission was to save jon as the targaryen heir, why fight ned at all? The kg should have left with or without lyanna by sail like every other targaryen claimant did.if lyanna is sick and dying let her die and move on.find a wet nurse,andget theheir ovetseas.leaving by oldtown or starfall would be a simple task.just like aegon, just like viserys and daenerys.making a stand in fact became the worst thing they could do as they utterly failed in that task.jon fell to ned.the kg stand at the tower only makes sense if they felt jon was safe and secure somewhere else.otherwise one would have left with jon as a precaution.jon and lyanna were safe in starfall under daynish care and in disguise.as for rumours, starfall is in dorne and they have much more liberal views about bastards and paramours.a stranger girl with a mystery baby is of minor importance as none at starfall would know what lyanna even looks like.look how easy sansa hid in the vale at she had a price on her head for wouldnot be hard to come up with a cover story for a 16 year old girl and one could expect discretion in dorne of all places The fortress of Sunspear was made capital of Dorne, and House Martell has ruled ever since. īy war's end Nymeria had sent six kings to the Wall: Yorick Yrownood, Vorian Dayne, Garrison Fowler, Lucifer Dryland, Benedict Blackmont, and Albin Manwoody. Although Yorick slew Mors in the Third Battle of the Boneway, Nymeria continued the war and eventually forced the Yronwoods into submission after another two years. Although the Martells gained the support of the Fowlers, Tolands, Daynes, and Ullers, for nine years Mors battled their last and greatest opponent, King Yorick V Yronwood, whose supporters included the Jordaynes, Wyls, Blackmonts, and Qorgyles.

The campaign of Nymeria and Mors to conquer Dorne took years to accomplish, as they had to defeat numerous lords and petty kings in succession. Nymeria declared Mors to be the Prince of Dorne, using the Rhoynish title of prince instead of the Westerosi "king". The people of the Martell lands also intermarried with the Rhoynar, and the addition of the Rhoynar increased the strength of the Martells tenfold. On the day she wed Mors, forming House Nymeros Martell, Nymeria had her fleet burned to affirm that the Rhoynar could not return to Essos. Nymeria made common cause with Mors Martell, Lord of the Sandship, whose lands were dwarfed by those of powerful kings such as House Yronwood. After years of wandering, the surviving Rhoynar, mostly women, children, and the elderly, landed at the mouth of the Greenblood in southeastern Dorne. PreludeĪfter the defeat of the Rhoynish army by the Valyrian dragonlords in the Second Spice War, Princess Nymeria led the Rhoynar in exile from the Rhoyne aboard ten thousand ships. Nymeria's War was the campaign in which Nymeria of the Rhoynar and Mors Martell conquered the various kings of Dorne and united the land under the rule of House Nymeros Martell.
