Editing A Feast for Crows (section)

=== In Dorne ===
In [[Sunspear]], the capital of [[Dorne]], news is received of the death of [[Oberyn Martell]] at the hands of [[Gregor Clegane]], although Gregor was mortally wounded in the same battle. Oberyn's bastard daughters, the [[Sand Snakes]], demand various plans for vengeance, including attacking Oldtown and raiding the Reach. Prince Doran Martell has them locked up to prevent them from doing anything too precipitous, and sends word to King's Landing confirming his loyalty. His eldest daughter and heir (due to Dorne's equal primogeniture), [[Arianne Martell|Arianne]] is disgusted with her father's weakness and suspicious that her father would prefer to supplant her with her brother [[Quentyn Martell|Quentyn]], who she learns has vanished eastwards on unknown business. Princess [[Myrcella Baratheon]], elder sister to King Tommen, is in Sunspear, as she has been betrothed to [[Trystane Martell]], and Arianne hatches a plan to crown Myrcella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms according to Dornish law and reignite the war. Her attempts are thwarted, however. Ser Arys Oakheart, the [[Kingsguard]] guarding Myrcella, is killed in a melee and Myrcella is injured. Arianne is imprisoned for her actions. 

Prince Doran finally lets his daughter visit him and learns of her grievances. He explains that whilst he had intended Quentyn to follow him as Prince of Dorne, he had a greater role in mind for Arianne: she was to have become Queen of all Westeros. Arianne is confused, but learns that Doran planned to wed her to [[Viserys Targaryen]], but [[secret marriage pact|that plan]] was thwarted when Khal [[Drogo]] killed Viserys. Now the plan has changed. Quentyn is on his way to Slaver's Bay to find and win the heart's desire of House Martell: "[[House Targaryen|fire and blood]]."
