Dorne

Line 129:

Symeon Santagar, styling himself King Symeon II of Godsgrace, decided to leave the Green Kings as a relic of the past. Instead he put aside the trappings of past rulers, declaring himself to rule by the guidance of the gods, rather than the consent of the families. New great houses rose up across the Greenblood, including House Ladybright of Lamplight, House Vyrwel of Greenguard, and House Daelwell of Goldpeppers. Save for House Brownhill, the First Men families of the Greenblood found themselves reduced to minor vassals and landholders by 120 A.I.

Western Dorne, meanwhile, was undergoing a shift of its own. The great Kingdom of the Brimstone had been at peace for decades, remaining above and apart from the wars which tore apart the east during the reign of King Tamsyn. Just as conquest brought the Andals to the Greenblood, though, peace entrenched them in the Desert. The Faith of the Seven won increasing numbers of converts in both the Andal ruled west of the Kingdom and in the Brimstone proper, and the children of Andals and Clansmen continued to increase in number and prominence. The changes eventually triggered an exodus of traditionalist Desert Clans northwards - a migration which resulted in the Scorpion Clan, those half-Andal descendants of Conran Qorgyle's multiethnic Host, claiming even greater swaths of the West's wells, oases and pasture.
