Sunspear is the seat of House Martell and the capital of Dorne. The city is built from mud and straw, colored brown. The walled town sits on the easternmost end of a little jut of stone and sand. It has massive walls. Outside of the walls one can find mud-brick shops and windowless hovels. Entry into the city is done most easily through the Threefold Gate, where the gates are lined up one behind the other and one can make their way to the Palace without first making their way though shops, bazaars and markets.[1]

Spear Tower

The Spear Tower is one hundred and a half feet tall with a spear of gilded steel atop that adds a further thirty feet.[2]

Tower of the Sun

The Tower has a dome of gold and leaded glass. Beneath the dome sits the throne room, a large round room with thick windows and many colored glass. The floors are made of pale marble. Within the Throne Room there are two seats on a dais. One has the Martell spear, the other the blazing Rhoynar sun.[3]

Sandship

The Sandship is part of Sunspear, it is a large building that looks like a dromond. It is dun-colored.[4]
