The Boneway is a major pass that runs through the Red Mountains, connecting Dorne and the Stormlands. The name is a colloquial name, with the Stone Way being its official name.[1][2]
Contents
Geography
Its Dornish side is guarded from the castle Yronwood, the seat of House Yronwood, which holds the title Warden of the Stone Way.[1] The path runs north past the River Wyl and ends at Summerhall in the Dornish Marches.[3] Castle Wyl, the seat of House Wyl of the Boneway,[4] is located along or near the pass.
History
During the conquest of Dorne, King Daeron I Targaryen used a goat track to evade the watchtowers of the Boneway.[5] Upon the death of Daeron, his brother, Baelor the Blessed, is said to have begun his reign by walking the Boneway barefoot to make peace between the Iron Throne and Dorne.[6]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings

The Winds of Winter
Two Dornish hosts have massed in the Boneway and the Prince's Pass. The hosts sit encamped, waiting for Prince Doran Martell to loose them on the enemies of House Martell.[10]
