of Dorne

[...] my sister and I came to Casterly Rock. We were on a quest of sorts. A quest that took us to Starfall, the Arbor, Oldtown, the Shield Islands, Crakehall, and finally Casterly Rock . . . but our true destination was marriage. Doran was betrothed to Lady Mellario of Norvos, so he had been left behind as castellan of Sunspear. My sister and I were yet unpromised.

My tribute to The Dead Ladies Club. I have thought about this post a lot because of how many dead mothers there are in the story and as someone who knows the pain of losing their mother, it’s tragic how many of these women are treated as footnotes in history. I really loved making this, and I’m definitely planning on more edits like this in the future.
