History

Older History

According to legend, Starfall was built where the first Dayne found a magic stone after he followed the path of a shooting star. The Daynes grew in power to become the Kings of the Torrentine and one of the strongest houses of Dorne.[6]

The Daynes submitted to House Nymeros Martell during Nymeria's War.[7]

Targaryan Era

After Ser Joffrey Dayne attacked Oldtown during the First Dornish War, Queen Visenya Targaryen burned Starfall with her dragon, Vhagar.[8][9]

Prince Oberyn Martell and Princess Elia Martell visited Starfall on their way to Casterly Rock where their mother was to broker their marriage to the Lannister twins, Cersei and Jaime.[10]

In the aftermath of Robert's Rebellion, Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, perished at the tower of joy. When Lord Eddard Stark returned Arthur's sword, the ancestral blade Dawn, to Starfall, Arthur's sister Ashara threw herself from the castle's Palestone Sword tower.[1]
