House Jordayne

Lords of the Tor, a lettered and cultured Dornish house whose words fit a family that has always valued the pen alongside the spear.

The fuller tale

The Jordaynes hold the Tor in the green lands near the Sea of Dorne, and their motto, Let It Be Written, marks them as a house that keeps its histories and grudges in ink. Lord Trebor Jordayne and his sharp-witted daughter Myria are among the Dornish notables of the age.

In a kingdom famous for its heat and its feuds, the Jordaynes cultivate a reputation for learning and long memory ÔÇö which, in Dorne, is only another kind of patience, and patience is the deadliest Dornish weapon of all.
