House Jordayne of the Tor is one of the principal noble houses of Dorne. The Tor is situated on the southern coast of the Sea of Dorne.[5]

Their blazon is a golden quill on checkered dark and light green.[3][6] Their words do not appear in the books, but in a semi-canon source they are stated to be "Let it be Written".[7]

History

House Jordayne was founded during the coming of the Andals to Dorne, along with Houses Allyrion, Martell, Qorgyle, Santagar, House Uller, and Vaith.[4]

At some point, House Martell bent the knee to the Jordayne kings of the Tor.[4] By the time of Nymeria's War, House Jordayne was among the bannermen of King Yorick Yronwood, and they fought against Lord Mors Martell and his Rhoynar allies.[8]

During the first couple of years of the First Dornish War, King Aegon I Targaryen captured several Dornish castles, including the Tor, whose steward surrendered the castle peacefully to Aegon a short time after the death of Lord Jordayne. The Dornishmen quickly recaptured the castle in Aegon's absence. In 8 AC, Queen Visenya Targaryen mounted on Vhagar, burned Sunspear, Lemonwood, Ghost Hill and the Tor in retaliation for the Dornishmen's actions against the stormlands earlier that year.[9]

During the Fourth Dornish War, Prince Morion Martell assembled his host at Ghost Hill and the Tor before sailing to Cape Wrath.[10]
