Lemonwood
On this tab
Lemonwood is the seat of House Dalt, standing on Dorne's southeastern coast near where the Greenblood meets the sea.
Its history was shaped by the Targaryen conquest of Dorne: Queen Rhaenys took it with barely a fight, and years later it burned under Vhagar's fire.
Origins
Early History
Long before Lemonwood stood as it does now, the land already had rulers. The High Kings of Dorne governed the Greenblood lands from a castle nearby, back in the distant days of the Age of Heroes.

Dornish Wars
Rhaenys's Conquest
When Queen Rhaenys Targaryen brought war to Dorne, Lemonwood fell without a fight. She had already burned Planky Town, and when she reached the seat of House Dalt she found only children and old men there — the fighting men were gone.
From Lemonwood she pressed on toward Sunspear, in the same campaign of the First Dornish War.

Visenya's Burning
Eight years after the Conquest, Visenya Targaryen returned to Dorne riding Vhagar. In retaliation for Dornish raids on Cape Wrath and the Rainwood, she burned Sunspear, Ghost Hill, Tor, and Lemonwood.
