Nymeria led her followers on dangerous journeys to the [[Basilisk Isles]], [[Sothoryos]], [[Naath]], the [[Summer Isles]], the [[Stepstones]], and finally [[Dorne]] in southern [[Westeros]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| Ancient History: Ten Thousand Ships}}{{ref|AFFC|13}} Nymeria married a Dornish lord, [[Mors Martell]] of the [[Sandship]], and helped him consolidate Dorne under his rule through [[Nymeria's War]].{{ref|AFFC|40}} Under the rule of [[House Martell|House Nymeros Martell]] of [[Sunspear]], the Rhoynar have lived and intermingled with the native Dornish since that time.{{Ref|aFfC|21}} 

Having abandoned the Rhoyne, most Rhoynar adopted the [[Faith of the Seven]] in Westeros. In ''[[The Conquest of Dorne]]'', King [[Daeron I Targaryen]] differentiated between three sorts of [[Dornishmen]], so-called stony, sandy, and salty Dornishmen.{{ref|ASOS|38}} The salty Dornishmen are held to have the most Rhoynish blood, being dark haired, olive skinned, and living close to the shore. The salty Dornishmen no longer speak the language of the ancient Rhoynar,{{ref|TWOIAF| Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}} although they do speak the [[Common Tongue]] with a distinctive drawl.{{ref|AFFC|Prologue}} Unlike the rest of the [[Seven Kingdoms]], equal primogeniture is practiced in Dorne as it was along the Rhoyne.

Some descendants of the Rhoynar did not assimilate and continue to practice the traditions of their ancestors, however. Called the "[[orphans of the Greenblood]]", these individuals live on rafts along the river [[Greenblood]] and consider themselves orphaned from their Mother Rhoyne.{{ref|AFFC|21}} They are of pure Rhoynar blood and still speak the Rhoynish language in secret.{{ref|TWOIAF| Dorne: Queer Customs of the South}}
