Toland

House Toland of Ghost Hill is a Dornish noble house sworn to Sunspear, one of the House Martell's principal bannermen. Its seat is Ghost Hill. Their arms depict a green dragon biting its tail on gold, the dragon symbolizing that time has no beginning and no end. The Tolands successfully resisted the dragons of Aegon the Conqueror during the First Dornish War. The Lord Toland at the time sent out his champion to face Aegon. After Aegon slew the man, he learned that the man was Lord Toland's mad fool, and that Lord Toland himself had escaped. In later days, the Tolands would take a new banner, showing a dragon biting its own tail, with the colors green in gold in memory of the motley of their brave fool. Prior to the dragon, the Toland banners displayed a ghost. The Dornishmen quickly recaptured Ghost Hill after Aegon left the castle. In 8 AC, Queen Visenya Targaryen mounted on Vhagar, burned Sunspear, Lemonwood, Ghost Hill and the Tor in retaliation for the dornishmen's actions against the stormlands earlier that year. During the Dragon's Wroth, Lady Toland was murdered for the Iron Throne's ransom on her head.
