Dorne

Line 109:

=== The Coming of the Andals ===

While Dorne proved a less than tempting target for most Andal conquerors, a few early Andal warlords did seek to carve out a place for themselves on the peninsula. Most notable among these were the Santagars, who settled in the thinly settled jungles of the Broken Arm and spent many years in peaceful detente with their Greenblood neighbors. Due to its proximity to Essos - as well as the small number of First Men already living there - the Broken Arm was one of the first regions in all of Westeros to become predominantly Andal.

=== First Century A.I. ===

Other early Andal settlements included Ghaston Grey, an island off the coast of Yronwood conquered by the Jordaynes, and the lands of Sandhorn in the Western Desert, where House Maltrevar erected a stout keep and, in Anchoran, dug one of the southern Dornish coasts' few proper anchorages. Many Andal adventurers chose to roam through Dorne without settling down; for a time, the Ullers, Allyrions, and Martells all commanded substantial hosts, traveling across the peninsula to sell their swords and practice glorified banditry. Conran Qorgyle, another early arrival, gathered one of the largest armies in Dorne about him over many years of wandering. House Martell once threatened to topple the Greenblood—and would have—were it not for the command skill of King Edred Lake, known as the Wetblade.
