==Quotes== [[File:Jarreau Wimberly Sun Stroke.png|thumb|Sun stroke in the sands of Dorne, by Jarreau Wimberly Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] {{Quote|You may burn us, my lady ... but you will not bend us, break us, or make us bow. This is Dorne. You are not wanted here. Return at your peril.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}|[[Meria Martell]] to [[Rhaenys Targaryen]]}} {{Quote|The [[House Martell|Martells]] would not commit to actual battle unless Dorne itself was attacked, and [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] was not so great a fool. Though some of his bannermen may be.{{Ref|ACOK|41}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{Quote|When good King [[Daeron II Targaryen|Daeron]] wed Princess [[Myriah Martell|Myriah]] and brought us into [[Seven Kingdoms|his kingdom]], it was agreed that Dornish law would always rule in Dorne.{{Ref|AFFC|13}}|[[Arianne Martell]] to [[Arys Oakheart]]}} {{Quote|Like Dornish food and Dornish law, Dornish speech was spiced with the flavors of the [[Rhoyne]], but a man could comprehend it.{{Ref|ADWD|1}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{Quote|Dorne had seemed a queer place to him as well when first he came here with [[Mellario|his own princess]], many years ago. The [[bearded priests]] had drilled him on the [[Common Tongue|Common Speech]] of [[Westeros]] before they sent him forth, but the [[Dornishmen]] all spoke too quickly for him to understand. Dornish women were lewd, Dornish [[wine]] was sour, and Dornish food was full of queer hot [[spice]]s. And the Dornish [[sun]] was hotter than the pale, wan sun of [[Norvos]], glaring down from a blue sky day after day.{{Ref|ADWD|38}}|thoughts of [[Areo Hotah]]}} {{Quote|Dorne is sand and [[scorpion]]s, and bleak [[red mountains]] baking in the sun.{{Ref|ADWD|43}}|[[Reznak mo Reznak]] to [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]]}} {{Quote|From the days of [[Aegon's Conquest]]. [[Aegon I Targaryen|He]] did not conquer here. Elsewhere he burned his foes, him and his sisters, but here we melted away before them, leaving only stone and sand for them to burn. And round and round the [[dragon]]s went, snapping at their tails for want of any other food, till they were tied in knots.{{Ref|TWOW||[[Arianne I (The Winds of Winter)|Arianne I]]}}|[[Valena Toland]] to [[Daemon Sand]]}} {{Quote|Dorne is a very special land, with a slightly different cultural basis than the rest of [[Westeros]]β¦ it was politically apart for a long time, it was also culturally apart because of the [[Rhoynar]] and the traditions they brought, but they didn't influence the rest of Westeros so much.<ref>Adria's News: [http://www.adriasnews.com/2012/10/george-r-r-martin-interview.html George R.R. Martin: "Trying to please everyone is a horrible mistake"]</ref>|[[George R. R. Martin]]}}
