House Jordayne of the Tor is a Dornish noble house. Their seat is placed on the coast of the Dornish Sea.

Their blazon is a golden quill on checkered dark and light green.[1][2] Their words do not appear in the books, but in a semi-canon they are stated to be "Let it be Written".[3]

The author confirmed that the house is a homage to Robert Jordan. The lord is called "Trebor" which is "Robert" backwards "Jordayne" is similar to "Jordan" and "Tor" is Jordan's publisher.
