Overlord House Martell

House Uller of Hellholt is one of the great noble houses in Dorne. Their keep, the Hellholt, is in the middle of the Dornish desert, and they are reputed to be impulsive and unpredictable. A Dornish saying is "Half of the Ullers are half-mad, and the other half are worse."[1]

Their arms are rayonne yellow over crimson.[2][3] The motto of the house does not appear in the books.

History

According to a semi-canon source, the Hellholt is named after an event in which rivals were invited to the castle, locked within, and burned to death.[4] This action inspired the Uller's arms.[5]

Recent Events

A Feast for Crows

Arianne Martell plans to crown Myrcella Baratheon at the Hellholt when conceiving her conspiracy, trusting the Ullers to join her cause due to their relation with Oberyn, the Red Viper.

While locked in the tower of Sunspear after the collapse of her conspiracy, Arianne ponders trying to ask for help from the Ullers, but rules it out as being too dangerous.
