“Do you see the white one, Quentyn? That is Nymeria’s star, burning bright, and that milky band behind her those are ten thousand ships. She burned as bright as any man, and so shall I. ”

HOUSE MARTELL

Nymeria, the warrior queen of the Rhoyne, brought her ten thousand ships to land in Dorne, the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms, and took Lord Mors Martell to husband. With her help, he vanquished his rivals to rule all Dorne.

The Rhoynar influence remains strong. Thus Dornish rulers style themselves “Prince” rather than “King.” Under Dornish law, lands and titles pass to the eldest child, not the eldest male.

Dorne, alone of the Seven Kingdoms, was never conquered by Aegon the Dragon. It was not permanently joined to the realm until two hundred years later, and then by marriage and treaty, not the sword.

Peaceable King Daeron II succeeded where the warriors had failed by wedding the Dornish princess Myriah and giving his own sister in marriage to the reigning Prince of Dorne.

The Martell banner is a red sun pierced by a golden spear.

Their words are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.

The principal houses sworn to Sunspear include Jordayne, Santagar, Allyrion, Toland, Yronwood, Wyl, Fowler, and Dayne.

Princess Nymeria of the Rhoynar, conqueror & ruler of Dorne.

"That is Nymeria's star, burning bright, and that milky band behind her, those are ten thousand ships. She burned as bright as any man, and so shall I."

👆 reference : Queen Zaphira in the movie La Dernière Reine (16th century Alger).

It is said that, amongst the Rhoynar who came to Dorne with Nymeria, eight of every ten were women ... but a quarter of those were warriors, in the Rhoynish tradition, and even those who did not fight had been hardened during their travels and travails. As well, thousands who had been boys when fleeing the Rhoyne had grown into manhood and taken up the spear during their years of wandering. By joining with the newcomers, the Martells increased the size of their host by tenfold. When Mors Martell took Nymeria to wife, hundreds of his knights, squires, and lords bannermen also wed Rhoynish women, and many of those who were already wed took them for their paramours. Thus were the two peoples united by blood. These unions enriched and strengthened House Martell and its Dornish allies. The Rhoynar brought considerable wealth with them; their artisans, metalworkers, and stonemasons brought skills far in advance of those achieved by their Westerosi counterparts, and their armorers were soon producing swords and spears and suits of scale and plate no Westerosi smith could hope to match. Even more crucially, it is said the Rhoynish water witches knew secret spells that made dry streams flow again and deserts bloom. To celebrate these unions, and make certain her people could not again retreat to the sea, Nymeria burned the Rhoynish ships. “Our wanderings are at an end,” she declared. “We have found a new home, and here we shall live and die.”

A collage of Rhohynar Fashions in GOT Universe

Since the conquests of Princess Nymeria of the Rhohyne have nods to the Islamic conquests across Middle East, North Africa, and some parts of Central Asia, South Asia and Europe, The Rhohyne has nods to Arabian Penninsula

The Rhohynar are an intrepid people, filled with generations of desert trekkers that can survive in scorching hot climates.

Their fashion defo has nods to Ancient/Olden Arabian fashions - with turbans, veils, hijabs and such

Why do you think there weren’t any new Dornish houses formed during Nymeria’s conquest that were purely Rhoynar in origin?

Because Nymeria and her descendants, the Red Princes in particular, were keen on both integrating into the existing paradigm as well as establishing a uniform Dornish identity.

Thanks for the question, anon

If this doesn’t describe Arya I don’t know what would. From the attitude to her physical symbolism. She looks like a stark. Like northern women, and she had a wild beauty to her.

The way George RR Martin has written Arya, and how arya named her direwolf after a witch warrior queen Nymeria of the Rhoyne. Visenya would rock a dress and still carry a sword to battle and wear battle wear and then ride her dragon to glory. She wasn’t scare at speaking her mind. She was the one that ruled. It was just her brother took the credit because he was a man.

Arya was skilled by her brothers. By Jon the most again a Targaryen prince. Bran and Jon would practice with her since an early age

Visenya’s sword “dark sister”

Arya is training with the house of black and white and working for the god of death himself. She is learning magical abilities as well as the ones she already has from her Stark blood.

Canon novel Arya fits perfectly with a warrior queen tittle.

Things said to Arya

“You will marry a king and rule his castle” ~ Eddard Stark GOT

“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle who knows” Jon Snow GOT

I love strong women dominating in a world of men. Where they can pick up a sword and ride a mythical creature and be there in the battle field with her men.

I love the parallels between Rhaenyra and Arya,I will take all the parallels with historical figures in a song of ice and fire always and forever but if there is one they can't miss in theirs upcoming shows, one that is incredibly important to Arya's character, it's Nymeria.

Nymeria is legitimately the most important historical parallel to Arya apart from Lyanna, she has been explicitly that since her first chapter to the point where her her direwolf is named after her, Nymeria is referenced for the first time in Arya's first chapter AND if you look at Arya's story and Nymeria's, Arya is following on her footsteps (to the point where you can theorise that Arya's role will be to bring some people, say free folks home).

I need Nymeria and Arya to have parallels in that new show when it's out.

That part about the Princess Nymeria history lesson in ep 1 of HotD got me so hyped for the spin-off show

#prayer circle for the nymeria show getting greenlit #i need it #and i need oscar isaac as mors 😊 #hotd #house of the dragon #princess nymeria

[carebooks]

anyone thinking that them discussing Princess Nymeria from like 1,000 years ago in both 1x01 (Rhaenyra rips a piece of paper of it) and 1x10 (the same ripped paper) means that Nymeria’s show is gonna be next after this one is done?

cuz i know they have five show ideas to do; Dance of the Dragons, Nymeria, Tales of Dunk and Egg, Jon Snow’s show, and a show based in Flea Bottom, so idk i can definitely see it as being a tiny easter egg that she’s next in line for the show

#but they could’ve been discusing any histories and they went with nymeria and i love nymeria so let me be right #princess nymeria #obviously i know this was just a quick moment between friends #house of the dragon

A Game of Thrones, Bran II

His wolf came springing at his heels.

He was still trying to decide on a name.

Robb was calling his Grey Wind, because he ran so fast.

Sansa had named hers Lady, and Arya named hers after some old witch queen in the songs.

Little Rickon called his Shaggydog, which Bran thought was a pretty stupid name for a direwolf.

Jon’s wolf, the white one, was Ghost. Bran wished he had thought of that first, even though his wolf wasn’t white.

He had tried a hundred names in the last fortnight, but none of them sounded right.
