Planky Town

It was founded by the orphans of the Greenblood, the Rhoynar who reached Dorne following Princess Nymeria. They lashed rafts together to raise the first houses, and the settlement grew as ships from the Free Cities began anchoring in its harbor. The princes of Dorne built a stronghold nearby to defend it.

During the War of Conquest, Queen Rhaenys Targaryen flew over Planky Town on Meraxes, though only children and old folk came out to watch her pass. She returned in the year 4 after the Conquest, this time to set fire to the ships anchored at the river mouth: fewer than a hundred townsfolk died, most of them drowned while fleeing the flames into the water.

It was the opening blow of the First Dornish War. From there she flew on to Limonar and Bosquepinto, and then to Lanza del Sol, which she found empty.

Lord Alyn Velaryon subdued Planky Town during the conquest of Dorne and sailed up the Greenblood with his ships, while the bulk of the Dornish forces stood massed at the Prince's Pass.

Ser Duncan and his squire Egg sailed down the Greenblood to Planky Town, and from there crossed the sea to Antigua aboard the White Lady.

A merchant ship out of Volantis docked at Planky Town, and through it the drug called sitrang first entered Westeros.

From Planky Town, Prince Quentyn Martell and his five traveling companions set sail for Meereen, seeking Queen Daenerys Targaryen. To pass unnoticed, Quentyn posed as a common wine merchant.
