Aliandra Martell

Aliandra inherited the title of Princess of Dorne at only seventeen. She measured herself against Nymeria, the queen who had brought her people to Dorne centuries before, and made no secret of it.

She pushed the lords and knights of her court to prove their worth, and the Marches of the Reach felt the results: raids against neighboring lands multiplied under her rule.

A year later, at eighteen, Aliandra met Alyn Velaryon. His campaign to protect the Westlands from Lord Dalton Greyjoy's raids had brought him to Sunspear in search of provisions for his fleet.

The sources disagree on what happened there: one chronicle claims Alyn had to render the princess very intimate services before she would grant him her aid, while another account denies that version.

Alyn crossed paths with Aliandra again on his return from the Sunset Sea. That was when Drazenko Rogare, sent from Lys, brought word that Prince Viserys Targaryen was still alive, held captive by his own brother, Lysandro Rogare.

Aliandra marked Alyn out with her favor whenever he visited, something Alyn's wife, Baela Targaryen, did not care to hear about so often.

Dorne emerged as one of the great winners of the War of the Daughters, and Aliandra extended her house's rule over much of the Stepstones.

During the Lysene Spring she married Drazenko Rogare, naming him Prince Consort of Dorne and Lord of the Stepstones. Whether the couple had children is not known.

In 135 AC Drazenko choked to death on bacon, in circumstances some found too convenient: there were those who pointed to the Faceless Men of Braavos.
