'''Doran Nymeros Martell''' is the Prince of [[Dorne]] and Lord of [[Sunspear]]. He is a cautious, pensive man who does not wear his emotions on his sleeve. He has a bad case of [[w:gout|gout]] and has trouble walking. He attempts to appear neutral in the [[War of the Five Kings]], but has shown a desire to avenge his murdered sister [[Elia Martell]]. He is rarely seen in public because of the gout, as he does not want to appear weak to his enemies.

==History==
Doran was born in [[248 AL]]. The names of his father and mother are not mentioned in the books. He was the first son and was heir of his mother who ruled Dorne in her own right.

His siblings are:
* [[Mors Martell (brother of Doran)|Mors]], died while young
* [[Olyvar Martell|Olyvar]], died while young
* [[Elia Martell|Elia]], born in [[257 AL]], died in the [[Sack of King's Landing]] in [[283 AL]]
* [[Oberyn Martell|Oberyn]], born in [[258 AL]], died in a [[w:trial by combat|trial by combat]] in [[300 AL]]

Because of the early deaths of Olyvar and Mors and the difference in age with his surviving siblings, Doran was raised alone. This may have stimulated his tendency of not speaking out his thoughts. He squired at [[Salt Shore]].<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Captain of the Guards</ref>

He met his wife [[Mellario of Norvos]] while traveling in the [[Free Cities]]. They fell in love and were married. During their betrothal, Doran's siblings Elia and Oberyn traveled through the south on a quest to find suitable matches, while Doran stayed behind as castellan of Sunspear.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> Although Mellario was high born enough to become his wife, most marriages between nobles in Westeros are political marriages and a love match is very uncommon. The couple had three children.

Although they married out of love, the marriage was not very happy. Mellario could not get used to Dornish customs. Shortly after the birth of Trystane, Quentyn was sent to be fostered as the ward and squire of Lord [[Anders Yronwood]]. This was done to make peace with the Yronwoods after the previous Lord [[Ormond Yronwood]] had died of his wounds taken in a duel with Oberyn. Mellario did not approve and went back to [[Norvos]].

In his fifties, Doran became badly afflicted with gout, losing much of his ability to walk, and so is usually confined to a wheelchair. He spends a great deal of time at the [[Water Gardens]], the summer home of the Martells, watching children play. He avoids the commoners and only sees his trusted courtiers and advisors to hide his weakness from his enemies.

Doran's mother died during or shortly after [[Robert's Rebellion]] and Doran succeeded her. The Martells had ties with the Targaryens and had supported them during the war.

Because of the murder of Elia, Oberyn wanted Dorne to rally for [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], the surviving Targaryen heir, after the [[Sack of King's Landing]], but Doran decided otherwise. In negotiations with [[Jon Arryn]], the matter was put to rest, although people suspected that the Martells (including Doran) still harbored hate for the Lannisters.

Doran and his brother [[Oberyn Martell|Oberyn]] worked in secret for years, planning on bringing an end to the reign of [[Robert Baratheon]] and destroying [[House Lannister]]. Oberyn travelled to Braavos where [[Viserys Targaryen]] and [[Daenerys Targaryen]] were being kept by Ser [[Willem Darry]] and signed [[Secret marriage pact (made in Braavos)|a secret pact]], which the [[Sealord of Braavos]] witnessed, promising Viserys the hand of [[Arianne Martell]] in return for Dorne's help in claiming the Iron Throne.

===A Clash of Kings===
Doran originally refused to swear allegiance to [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I]] and considered supporting [[Renly Baratheon]]. However, [[Tyrion Lannister]] was able to gain his allegiance by sending him [[Myrcella Baratheon]] and betrothing her to his son Trystane, offering justice for his murdered sister Elia, and giving him a seat on the King's small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Once Myrcella was safely in [[Dorne]], Doran would send his armies to the high passes, giving the [[Marcher lords|Marcher Lords]] something to worry about.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 41|Chapter 41]], Tyrion</ref>

===A Storm of Swords===
Not being fit enough to journey to King's Landing, he sent his brother Oberyn to claim both the seat and justice.{{Ref|aSoS|38}}

===A Feast for Crows===
When Oberyn died in King's Landing,{{Ref|aSoS|70}} Doran refused all suggestion of going to war for vengeance. He returned to Sunspear to show his people that he still held power, and had Oberyn's warlike, bastard daughters, the "Sand Snakes", imprisoned to maintain the peace.{{Ref|aFfC|2}} After his daughter's foiled attempt to crown Myrcella,{{Ref|aFfC|13}}{{Ref|aFfC|21}} Doran revealed to her that he had been working secretly for the fifteen years since Elia's death to rob Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] of all he held dear, and that he planned to ally House Martell with [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{Ref|aFfC|40}}

===A Dance with Dragons===
When Ser [[Balon Swann]] arrives at Sunspear, a feast is held in his honour. His daughter [[Arianne Martell|Arianne]], now fully aware of his plans, sits to his right. Oberyn's daughters [[Obara Sand|Obara]], [[Tyene Sand|Tyene]] and [[Nymeria Sand|Nymeria]] are also present, as well as [[Ellaria Sand]], [[Areo Hotah]] and half the nobility of [[Dorne]]. Doran is presented with the skull of the [[Gregor Clegane|The Mountain]].

Ser Balon states that [[Cersei Lannister]] wishes him to bring [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] back to King's Landing to visit her brother. Prince Doran or a retainer is invited to fill the vacant Dornish seat on the [[small council]], while Prince [[Trystane Martell|Trystane]] is invited to see the city. Doran states that traveling by ship may be easier, but this unnerves Ser Balon, who states that a voyage by sea would be too dangerous. Doran agrees he is probably right.

In a private chamber, Doran Martell reveals to Tyene, Obara, Nymeria, [[Areo Hotah]] and his daughter that the party would be ambushed by brigands shouting "halfman" during the journey to King's Landing, Trystane would be killed in the attack, and Ser Balon will falsely claim that he saw [[Tyrion Lannister]]. This plan was orchestrated by [[Cersei Lannister]] and shocks those present. Prince Doran says he was informed of this plot by a "friend" in [[King's Landing]] and was dubious himself until Ser Balon confirmed his suspicions by trying to persuade him to avoid a voyage by ship (which would have disrupted all of Cersei's arrangements). The Sand Snakes are enraged, but Doran will not allow them to harm Ser Balon as he was under the protection of the [[Guest right|guest right]].

To stop this scheme from coming to fruition, Doran had Ser Balon brought to Myrcella and finds out about her injuries by [[Gerold Dayne]]. Myrcella lies (under Arianne's direction) and claims that Ser Gerold also killed [[Arys Oakheart]]. Myrcella then begged Ser Balon to bring Dayne to justice. Doran had [[Obara Sand|Obara]] escort Ser Balon to [[High Hermitage]], and he is currently hunting for Darkstar.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Epilogue (A Dance with Dragons)|Epilogue]], page 952</ref> Doran then sent [[Nymeria Sand|Nymeria]] to Kingslanding to claim the vacant seat on the small council, and [[Tyene Sand|Tyene]] to the great sept of Baelor to befriend the New [[High Sparrow|High Septon]].{{Ref|aDwD|38}}

While Doran waits for word from his son, [[Quentyn Martell|Quentyn]], he hears that a fleet of ships are sailing to Westeros and readies the armies of [[Dorne]] to strike.

===The Winds of Winter===
Doran sends his [[Arianne Martell|daughter]] to the [[Stormlands]] to met the alleged [[Aegon Targaryen]].<ref>[http://georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html The Winds of Winter, Arianne sample chapter]</ref>

}} __NOTOC__

[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] and his [[Mountain clans|clansmen]] are assigned to the van under the command of Ser [[Gregor Clegane]]. When he returns to his tent, Tyrion finds his new servants and a whore, [[Shae]], that Bronn has found for him. Tyrion wakes to horns—[[Robb Stark]]’s host has made a night march and is preparing for battle. In the fight, the clansmen do well, the enemy is routed, and Tyrion captures a knight. Afterward, Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] learns that Robb Stark is headed with most of the horse to [[Riverrun]].

==Synopsis==
A long table draped with a gold cloth has been set up on a hill over the [[Kingsroad]] for Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and his chief knights and lords bannermen for the evening meal. [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], arriving late, is embarrassed as he waddles up to the table. [[Tywin Lannister|Lord Tywin]] mocks that Tyrion should be charged with burying the dead if he plans to arrive as late to battle as he does to table. Tyrion replies sourly that surely a peasant or two could be found for him to kill.

The news from Ser [[Addam Marbrand]] is that [[Robb Stark]] has moved south from [[the Twins]] with [[House Frey|Frey]] levies in tow. Tyrion mockingly protests that he is about to eat and Tywin asks if the thought of coming to grips with Robb unmans him. Tyrion jests that he would prefer coming to grips with the roast pig, which is far more tender and better smelling than Robb.

The army’s quartermaster, Lord [[Leo Lefford]], who has had to supply Tyrion’s 300 [[Mountain clans|clansmen]], uses this opportunity to quip that he hopes the clansmen are braver than Tyrion. Tyrion assures him that the arms and armor will be put to good use. Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], who Tyrion knows is giving voice to Lord Tywin’s thoughts, takes the opportunity to inform Tyrion that he and his clansmen will fight in the vanguard since they seem so ferocious. Tyrion stresses the ferocity of the clansmen by recounting their recent lethal fight over a sausage.

Lord Tywin uses this as evidence of a poor commander who cannot maintain discipline. Tyrion knows that [[Jaime Lannister|his brother]] could always make men follow him eagerly, but Tyrion lacks such charisma and must use gold and his family name to get men to follow him. Tywin then tells Kevan that because the clansmen have no discipline, maybe they should not be in the vanguard. When Lord Tywin suggests that he should guard the baggage instead, Tyrion angrily agrees to command the vanguard, only to learn that he will not command, but be under Ser [[Gregor Clegane]]. Disgusted, Tyrion excuses himself after only eating one bite of the delicious pork.

Tyrion gets lost in the camp and only finds his clansmen by following the sounds of [[Shagga]]’s laughter in the dark. [[Conn]] calls for him to share their meat and Tyrion agrees to join them when it is cooked, doubting it will be before the battle. From there he finds his tent where Bronn is sharing wine with his new servants—a groom, a body servant, a squire named [[Podrick Payne]], and slim young dark-haired whore named [[Shae]]. Tyrion told Bronn to find him a young one with a pretty face and to be sure to tell her who and what he is, so as to avoid the displeasing look of revulsion that sometimes greets him.

Tyrion likes the girl Bronn has found. He invites Shae into his tent. When he asks if she is a maiden, Shae tells him that finding out will cost him double and Tyrion decides they will get along fine. Tyrion explains that her duties besides sleeping with him include serving him and monogamy. When they have sex, Shae expresses pleasure, which pleases Tyrion, who decides he does not care if it is feigned. Tyrion also finds it good to be with a woman after nearly a year of enforced abstinence.

Afterward, he sneaks out of the tent without waking Shae. Outside, he asks Bronn where he found her and is told that she was stolen from a knight because all the pretty ones were taken. Tyrion comments that he did not ask Bronn to make him an enemy, but agrees to keep Shae. When Tyrion asks for the name of the knight so he can avoid him in battle, Bronn insists that Tyrion will have him for protection. Tyrion then tells Bronn that if they both survive the battle, he can name his reward. Bronn asks who would want to kill Tyrion and Tyrion explains who has put them in the vanguard. Bronn only laughs and jests that a small man with a big shield will give the enemy archers fits.

Tyrion returns to the tent to find Shae. When Tyrion asks her whom Bronn has taken her from, she tells him that the knight was a minor figure and a small man. Tyrion mockingly asks if she takes him for a giant, but Shae insists she does, calling him ‘’my giant of Lannister.’’

Tyrion wakes before dawn to battle horns and Shae’s cries. Outside, Bronn informs him that the [[House Stark|Stark]] host has come down the Kingsroad at night and they are forming up for battle a mile north. Tyrion’s well-fitting suit of armor is at [[Casterly Rock]], so Podrick Payne and Shae help him into the ill-fitting oddments that have replaced it. Tyrion asks Shae to weep for him if he dies, but she only asks how he will know. He is helped onto his heavily armored horse and given his battle-axe. Shae tells him he looks fearsome, but Tyrion disagrees. He instructs his squire Podrick to take her safely home if they lose. As the sun rises and he rides north, the clansmen fall in behind him.

At the battlefield, Lord Tywin commands the reserve in his armor that puts Jaime’s to shame. Ser Kevan commands the center and Ser Addam Marbrand the right, where Lord Tywin has massed his armoured knights. The northmen will be tired after their long sleepless march; Tyrion wonders what Robb Stark was thinking.

Tyrion spies the massive Ser Gregor Clegane with the vanguard massing on the left. Bronn, looking at Ser Gregor, states that it is best to always follow the big man into battle since he attracts all the archers, which Tyrion finds amusing. They hear Ser Gregor tell his men that if anyone ran he would cut them down himself. Tyrion receives his orders to hold the left of the left next to the river. When Tyrion’s clansmen reach the river, Tyrion commands them to keep themselves between the enemy and the river. Then the clansmen raise their battle cry of “Halfman!”

Although the van is all mounted, it is comprised of misfits and sweepings, including half-trained boys. Tyrion notes that the force is unfit to hold the left, and wonders what his father was thinking. When the enemy appears, their numbers seem great, but Tyrion knows that his father has more. He also notes that the Freys are among the enemy.

The northerners charge and are answered first by the Lannister bowmen. Ser Gregor orders the charge, and the clansmen quickly leave Tyrion in their dust. The charge nearly breaks against the [[House Karstark|Karstark]] spearmen opposing them, but Ser Gregor’s horse crashes through the shield wall as it dies. The monstrous knight rises from his fallen mount and begins slaying men all around. Before the gap in the enemy line can close, Shagga rides through right behind Ser Gregor, followed by the other clansmen.

The northmen’s line begins to crumble under the assault. Then Tyrion and Bronn are in the fight and Tyrion successfully defeats a number of enemies, including a close fight with a tall northerner that Tyrion only overcomes because his horse bites his cheek, giving Tyrion the opening to kill him. Then a knight with a morning star comes at Tyrion, wounding and unhorsing him. The knight calls for Tyrion to yield, but Tyion uses the spike on his helmet to eviscerate the horse, which falls on the knight, disabling and trapping him. The knight yields to Tyrion. Tyrion can now see that the battle has moved past him. The northerners are being pushed against the hills and pelted by arrows. Finally, Bronn rides up and Tyrion sees his father ride by with the reserves to break the northerners. Tyrion finds the remnants of his clansmen, of whom perhaps half, including [[Conn]] and [[Ulf]], are dead.

Tyrion searches for his father and finds him sipping wine as his armor is removed. Lord Tywin tells him that his clansmen fought well. Tyrion asks if that surprised him and if they were supposed to be butchered. Lord Tywin admits that he expected the left to collapse, hoping that Robb Stark would press into the breach where they might capture him. Tyrion demands to know why he was not informed. His father declares that a feigned rout is always less convincing and that he is not in the habit of trusting men who consort with [[Mountain clans|savages]] and [[Mercenary|sellswords]]. Lord Tywin continues that the Stark boy proved more cautious than expected, but it is a victory. Then Tywin notes that Tyrion is wounded and Tyrion asks that he call for his [[maester|maesters]].

At that moment, Ser Addam Marbrand rides up with the news that Lord [[House Cerwyn|Cerwyn]], Ser [[Wylis Manderly]], [[Harrion Karstark]], and four [[House Frey|Freys]] were captured while Lord [[Halys Hornwood]] is dead. The bad news follows: Lord [[Roose Bolton]] has escaped, and Robb has crossed with most of his horse at the Twins and is riding hard for [[Riverrun]]. Tyrion remembers his father’s words that the Stark boy would be more brave than wise and thinks that he would have laughed if it didn't hurt so much.

She is regarded as doe-eyed. Even after giving birth, Gilly retains a slim figure. She is regarded as pretty. {{Ref|aFfC|5}} Jon Snow considers Gilly a slender little thing, somewhat childlike in appearance. Her status as a wife and mother is not evident in her appearance. {{Ref|aDwD|7}}

[[Samwell Tarly]] considers Gilly "very brave", and able to keep going no matter the obstacles on the way. He contrasts her to himself and his perceived cowardice. {{Ref|aSoS|46}} He also considers her to be kind. {{Ref|aSoS|75}}

==Recent Events==
===A Clash of Kings===
When the [[Night's Watch]] stops at Craster's Keep on [[Jeor Mormont]]'s ranging, she encounters and befriends [[Samwell Tarly]]. She is pregnant with Craster's child, and fears that if she gives birth to a son, Craster will sacrifice him to the [[Others]]. She beseeches Samwell to help her, and Samwell agrees, sending her to [[Jon Snow]], to the annoyance of the latter.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 23|Chapter 23]], Jon</ref>

===A Storm of Swords===
After the attack on the [[Fist of the First Men]], as the Night's Watch pauses to regroup at Craster's Keep, Gilly gives birth to a son. Craster is killed before he can sacrifice the child, and in the confusion Gilly flees south with Samwell. After arriving at the Wall, she serves as a wetnurse to [[Mance Rayder]]'s son after his wife, [[Dalla]], dies in childbirth.

===A Feast for Crows===
[[File:Only water by cabepfir.jpg|250px|thumb]]
She is sent South aboard a ship to [[Oldtown]] with Samwell, [[Dareon]], and [[Maester Aemon]], ostensibly with her child; in truth [[Jon Snow]] swapped [[The abomination|her child]] with that of [[Mance Rayder]], to spare the innocent child from [[Melisandre]]'s flames on account of his king's blood. For much of the journey she is overcome with grief at being separated from her child, but after Aemon's death aboard the [[Cinnamon Wind]], she recovers, and for a time becomes a lover to Samwell. Upon their arrival at Oldtown, it is planned that she will be sent to Samwell's old home at [[Horn Hill]] with the story that her child is a bastard fathered by Samwell.

'''''The Winds of Winter''''' is the forthcoming sixth novel in the award-winning [[w:epic fantasy|epic fantasy]] series ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' by [[George R.R. Martin]]. It takes place after the concurrent fourth and fifth books in the series, ''[[A Feast for Crows]]'' (2005) and ''[[A Dance with Dragons]]'' (2011).

==Plot==

He also worked on a new ''[[Dunk and Egg|Tales of Dunk and Egg]]'' novella that was expected to appear in an anthology called ''Dangerous Women''.<ref name=wsj_spill /><ref name=nymag_butterfly /> It announced in early 2013 that''Dangerous Women'' would instead feature a novella about the [[Dance of the Dragons]] named "The Princess and the Queen", and that the fourth ''Dunk and Egg'' novella was postponed.<ref>[http://www.westeros.org/ASoWS/News/Entry/Dangerous_Women_Delivered Westeros News, Jan 22nd, 2013]</ref>

In December 2011, Martin posted a chapter from ''The Winds of Winter'' from the viewpoint of [[Theon Greyjoy]] and added that another sample chapter would be included at the end of the US paperback version of ''A Dance with Dragons'', originally expected to be released in summer 2012<ref name="sample chapter" /><ref name=smartertravel /> (international ''A Dance with Dragons'' paper-pack releases in March 2012 had no sample chapter).<ref name=amazon_pubpp_adwd /> Martin also read a portion of a [[Victarion Greyjoy]] chapter at Toronto's [[TIFF Bell Lightbox]] in March 2012.<ref name=tiff3 />
