Jordayne

House Jordayne of the Tor is one of the principal noble houses of Dorne. The Tor is situated on the southern coast of the Sea of Dorne. Their blazon is a golden quill on checkered dark and light green. House Jordayne was founded during the coming of the Andals to Dorne, along with Houses Allyrion, Martell, Qorgyle, Santagar, House Uller, and Vaith. At some point, House Martell bent the knee to the Jordayne kings of the Tor. By the time of Nymeria's War, House Jordayne was among the bannermen of King Yorick Yronwood, and they fought against Lord Mors Martell and his Rhoynar allies. During the first couple of years of the First Dornish War, King Aegon I Targaryen captured several Dornish castles, including the Tor, whose steward surrendered the castle peacefully to Aegon a short time after the death of Lord Jordayne. The Dornishmen quickly recaptured the castle in Aegon's absence. 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. Their words are 'Let it be written'.
