Dornishmen Quotes

“Quentyn Martell almost laughed aloud. The gods are mad.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“Never drink with Dornishmen when the moon is full.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“On Dorne and the North:
One is hot and one is cold, yet these ancient kingdoms of sand and snow are set apart from the rest of Westeros by history, culture, and tradition.
Both are thinly peopled compared to the lands betwixt. Both cling stubbornly to their own laws and their own traditions. Neither was ever truly conquered by the dragons. The king in the North accepted Aegon Targaryen as his overlord peaceably, whilst Dorne resisted the might of the Targaryens valiantly for almost two hundred years, before finally submitting to the Iron Throne through marriage.
Dornishmen and Northmen alike are derided as savages by the ignorant of the five 'civilized' kingdoms, and celebrated for their valor by those who have crossed swords with them.”
― George R.R. Martin, The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones
