During a | During a Dornish invasion by the Bloodroyal [[Olyvar I Yronwood]], [[Durran Dondarrion]] delivered a crucial message to the Storm King [[Erich the Unready|Erich VII Durrandon]] during a stormy night when he was being pursued by two Dornishmen. Legendarily, an arrow killed his horse and his sword broke when he fell. When Durran thought he was doomed, a bright purple lightning bolt struck the Dornishmen, killing both, and he successfully delivered the message, leading to the invasion being repelled. King Erich raised him to lordship over Blackhaven for his service, and Durran became the first Dondarrion. | ||
