Dorne - Map Detailed (Game of Thrones)

[@JulfyJD]

Dorne in the books: vast, rich and populous Dorne in the show: a small shack of a palace with 5 citizens total.

[@TheMattew777]

It is less populous than the Westerlands, Reach, North, Vale and Riverlands.

[@factbeaglesarebest]

Well they completely scrapped the Dorne plot. But the only part of Dorne we see in the show is the water Gardens.

[@LF-hj8kk]

they are neither rich nor populous in the books btw

[@factbeaglesarebest]

LF 3400 exactly. Doran specifically tells Arienne that they the Targaryens wanted to exaggerate the populoation since they Dornish/Rhoynar never knelt, and Dorne kept it going to protect themselves. Dorne is a vast wasteland specked with a few small sanctuaries.

[@oppionatedindividual8256]

@@LF-hj8kk they’re absolutely rich. Not populous but rich. They have textiles industry, are close to the Summer Sea and Essos ( trade routes would flow into Dorne and then to the rest in some cases because of this realistically ). Also they have a monopoly on the citrus trade - a fair priced delicacy in this setting for sure.

[@throwmeaname]

Dorne is my favourite out of all the 7 kingdoms. The Martells never bent under Aegon. Unlike the Westerland who has their coin, the Storm, North and the Reach with their strength and martial prowess. Dorne survived through their cunning, wit and deception. On top of that, Dorne houses Dawn and the Sword of the Morning. Dorne is truly an amazing state.

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

Yeah I sorta lost my love for Dorne after reading fire and blood. Their stubborn pride left their home a wasteland and their people massacred. It's the exact opposite or Torrhen Stark the king who knelt, who submitted to save his people from fiery death in a hopeless war. George presented the Dornish wars as completely pointless on purpose, to show the futility of fighting over titles and honor. The Stark king swallowed his pride to save his people and the Dornish sacrificed the people they served for their vanity

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

In fire and blood it's also stated that the Dornish strategy was seen as cowardly by the rest of Westeros. They lost all honor just so they could remain kings (princes). I don't think they are necessarily heroic

[@sheepshiftsheetsplit4322]

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy I agree that George is making that point but I also think the Dornish didn't kneel in honor of their past. Letting go of Mother Rhoyne to kneel to the people who were responsible for her great downfall. Yeah... I'd kind of have a problem kneeling too. If I come from a culture that was the peaceful bomb & you come from a culture that was slavey trash, I'd do whatever I needed to do so that mine prevailed (even though Dorne kinda turned trash-ish & Targaryen rule became somewhat peaceful). But I'm a straight up Targaryen hater so my opinion's definitely biased lol. Idk man, me still loves the Dorny dogs 💕

[@fai-pe7oq]

colton watson the dornish people fully supported the Martells despite the massive deaths the dornish suffered. You gotta remember that it was the Valyrians and their dragons that destroyed the homes of their ancestors, the Rhoynar, so it makes sense that they would refuse to kneel to them.

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

@@fai-pe7oq yeah I'm not stupid bro, I get that. Trading thousands of lives for pride is still however meant to be seen as a waste

[@Crusader1089]

"Its a little strange since its called the Dornish Marches" this is similar to the English Welsh Marches and Scottish Marches. Marcher Lord was the title in English equivalent to marquis in French and means Lord of the Border. The Dornish Marches literally means "lands which border Dorne".

[@MilloSpiegel]

ahhhhh makes sense

[@DX2069]

Yes do the iron islands I think there is some interesting history there that would be cool to be seen in your videos

[@s4m1r_65]

interesting that the only kingdom the targaryens didnt conquer was dorne. the valyrians prosecuted the roynar people . maybe the roynar, upon arriving in dorne prepared ways to fight off the valyrians. their early exposure to the dragon lords of valyria may have taught them a lot on how they fought off the targaryens, unlike the other 6 kingdoms

[@shaddoecrow5872]

When Aegon the conqueror, Rhaenys, and Visenya attempted to conquer Dorne they only had three dragons, where as when the Valyrians conquered the Rhoyne they had hundreds.

[@s4m1r_65]

@@shaddoecrow5872 of that I am aware. But even if the valyrians had three dragons, not much can stop dragons in the world of ice and fire.

[@oppionatedindividual8256]

Rhoynar.

[@guifdcanalli]

@@s4m1r_65 actually tho, the Rhoynar put a battle against them, many dragonlords fell from the sky during the conquest, its said that in the city of Chroyane alone many dragonlords were cursed by the Rhoynar magic and drawned in the waters below with their dragons Not only they were good fighers but unlike their descendants in Dorne they had water mages, so three dragons alone would definitely lose against the Rhoynar cities

[@olenickel6013]

@@kerzariz8717 Al Andalus, the Muslim kingdom in Spain, was famously tolerant for its time. It was a diverse place with large communities of muslims, jews and christians coexisting and because it was so diverse, its rulers for large parts chose tolerance to maintain stability rather than forcing conversion.

[@kerzariz8717]

@@olenickel6013 That was until the Morrocans invaded sadly.

[@olenickel6013]

@@kerzariz8717 The "golden age" ended even earlier. There were pogroms against minorities even before the Moroccan Berber warriors took over the state. Once outside pressure mounted, military defeats and conquests of land by Christian kingdoms destabilized Al Andalus, the tolerance ended. Still, it's failry obvious GRRM modeled the idea of Dorne being comparatively progressive in its social values vis-a-vis the rest of the seven kingdoms on the Moorish golden age.

Great video. Love Dorne. House Dayne is easily my favourite. Like the theory that they may be descended from a proto-Valyrian race that were one of many from The Great Empire of the Dawn. Their house as reputed by Darkstar goes back ‘ten thousand years, unto the Dawn of Day(ne)s.’ They live in a land called ‘Dorne’. The greatest knights wield a magical sword called ‘Dawn’. They are the Children of the Dawn. Would love to learn more about the other houses like Blackmont, Yronwood and Wyl. They seem to have fearsome and bloody reputations. Edit: I also fully embrace Darkstar in all his edgy glory. #FreemyboyDarkstar

[@dantheman4908]

I always imagined Dorne as similar to Al-Andalus. A part of Europe (Westeros) conquered and settled by people from the East (the Rhoynar).

[@raeliepold4216]

Really just do every location you can man. I love these videos so much! I really don't watch much KZbin anymore but I always watch these every time you post anything game of thrones lore or maps.

[@MisterSifuentes]

I wish there was an Oscar equivalent on KZbin. These are amazing.

[@raizer2810]

Darkstar was by far the most interesting new character in the books, and I was so hyped to get to know more about him, his agenda and where it all leads him, the only interesting plot along the main ones. Sadly, it's been forever and a day, and we are not an inch closer to the Winds of Winter.

[@charliecaspar228]

I can not express how much I love your videos

[@presidenttogekiss635]

I love how for a long while, the Dornish were enemies to the Iron Throne. And how despite being so small its so diverse, with First Men, Andals and Roinar, from the essos looking martells to the houses that look like the rest of the kingdoms.

[@carlosg2541]

I am obsessed with the world of game of thrones so I decided to make miniatures of some of their towns I already made Lannisport and CasterlyRock and my next project is the water gardens I will use real water for the fountains and pools everywhere and gorgeous gardens, I use polymerclay, glass and styrofoam, hope I can share my work sometime, great video! 🏰🦁

[@SaneMillennial]

Thanks for doing this. Please note, it's only assumed Darkstar was the one who tried to kill Myrcella. We don't know that for sure. Could've been someone else... It was a very mysterious plot and mysterious how Hotah knew where they were so fast.

[@lwizzard8742]

Dorne was class in the books. Big loss to the show

[@brendan9868]

The Arianne story line is kinda interesting in the books, but it’s still one of the weaker plot lines. It has cool moments like the failed attempt of putting Myrcella on the throne and Arys Oakheart’s last stand, but at times it’s unbearably slow with generally uninteresting characters. Everyone acts like it was only the show that fucked up the sand snakes, but in reality they were never likable characters to begin with in the books.

[@terryem05]

The stormlands would be interesting.

@@djayt1215 Hollywood or west generally didn't try to understand eastern cultures at all. its all the same to them and people believe so now, "the Muslim caliphate in Andalusia" was expansion of the Moorish(Morocco) civilization who was closer and more influences to European than east, for example curved sword didn't existed in West north Africa until Europeans passe it on after the fall of Andalusia.(curved sword originate in japan)

What if Jon is Ned and Ashara's son.Maybe she was at the tourney at Harrenhall,she and Ned did the thing(she was his first love before Cat) and she got pregnant.Then she gave birth to Jon.When Ned brought Dawn to Starfall and she threw herself in the sea,he decided to take Jon to Winterfell.Thats my theory since Jon has no Targaryen traits like pale skin and white/blonde hair,purple eyes.

[@kashk42]

The Dornish Marches not being in Dorne isn't weird at all, an March in a feudal society is an area responsible for border protection, for example Mercia got it's name for the saxon word for March since it was the area bordering Wales, and in early France there were an area called the Breton March, which bordered Brittany. The Marcher Lords (a Marquis in RL european history) are charged with defence of that border. So the Marcher lords of the stormlands and the reach defend their respective kingdoms from the Dornishmen, hence the name.
