House Allyrion of Godsgrace is a major Dornish noble house. Godsgrace sits near the confluence of the Scourge and the Vaith into the Greenblood.
Their blazon is a golden hand on gyronny red and black.[2][3] Their words do not appear in the books, but according to semi-canon sources they are "No Foe May Pass".[4]
History
[edit]House Allyrion was founded by Andal adventurers during the coming of the Andals to Dorne, along with Houses Jordayne, Martell, Qorgyle, Santagar, Uller, and Vaith.[5]
House Martell was once a vassal to the pious Allyrions of Godsgrace.[5]
During the First Dornish War, the Allyrions fled their castle before the arrival of Queen Rhaenys Targaryen on her dragon, Meraxes.[6][7]

Notes
[edit]- ↑ It is unclear who this Lord of Godsgrace is. If the reference is an error, Lady Delonne Allyrion might have been intended. Possibly, the "Lord of Godsgrace" is Delonne's husband. A third option is that this is a reference to Delonne's son and heir, Ser Ryon Allyrion, in which case Delonne died or abdicated during the span of A Dance with Dragons, making Ryon the new Lord of Godsgrace.
