House Dayne of High Hermitage

Like House Dayne of Starfall, whom they serve, the Daynes of High Hermitage count themselves among the First Men. But their history in Dorne crossed with centuries of marriages to the Andals, and from that comes a trait that sets them apart at a glance from other Dornishmen: hair somewhere between gold and silver, pale eyes.

They are knights of the house, not lords in their own right; their swords and their loyalty answer to Starfall.

In Dorne, Princess Arianne Martell schemes to crown Myrcella Baratheon queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and among the names she draws into her conspiracy is Ser Gerold Dayne, knight of High Hermitage and known as Darkstar. His part in it puts the house, behind closed doors, on the side of a plot against the throne in King's Landing.

The plan falls apart when Areo Hotah, captain of the guard at Sunspear, catches up with them. Darkstar draws his sword on Myrcella herself, the very princess the conspiracy meant to crown, and manages to escape the encounter.
