Dorne

Line 136:

In 144 A.I. King Symeon II, the founder of Godsgrace, died of his declining health at the age of seven and sixty. By the laws of Andal succession, his grandson was crowned as Symeon III.

Near the middle point of the Second Century, the long-ruling King [[Tamsyn I Dryland]] of Brimstone perished with no clear heir. The [[Brimstoner Civil War]] resulted, a struggle between Tamsyn's grandson, similarly named [[Tamsyn II Dryland|Tamsyn]], and one of his distant cousins, Lucifer Dryland. The former, raised in the Qorgyle capital of Cliffsides in Andal religious, courtly and martial fashions, earned the support of his army (commanded formerly by his father, Prince Devlin Dryland), Qorgyles and the nascent Kingdom of [[Godsgrace]]. The latter, promising to drive the Andals from the west, allied himself to the King [[Arthur Dayne]], and gathered the eastern Clans under his banner. The result was a crushing defeat of Lucifer, and the establishment of Dorne's first half-Andal Kingdom.

The result was a crushing defeat of Lucifer, and the establishment of Dorne's first half-Andal Kingdom.

With the end of the Brimstoner Civil War, and the Torrentine's dominion over the Red Mountains, Dorne entered the [[Three Kingdoms]] period. For some generations, the borders remained relatively stable between the three great powers of the Torrentine, Godsgrace and Brimstone - Mountain, River and Desert.
