In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, present-day Dornishmen are the result of the Rhoynar migration, in which the Rhoynish people, led by Princess Nymeria, united Dorne with the aid of Prince Mors Martell, who brokered a marriage alliance with her. Prince Oberyn mentions at Joffrey's wedding that his people do not despise bastards because they are born out of passion. Similarly, bastards do not carry the stigma of being born out of wedlock and are raised along their trueborn siblings and cousins, though they are still considered poor matches for marriage due to their inability to receive inheritance. The Dornish also have no particular stigma against homosexual behavior. ![]() ![]() Paramours are not shunned or kept in secret: instead they are held in a similar status as a lawful wife or husband, and it is not unusual for noblewomen as well as men to have paramours. Indeed, Dornishmen have more "relaxed" views towards sexuality and love than the rest of Westeros. In the rest of the Seven Kingdoms, the Dornish have a reputation for being hot-blooded and sexually licentious. Of course, Oberyn Martell remarks to Tyrion that from his Dornish perspective, it's the Lannisters and everyone else in Westeros who have an odd accent. The Rhoynar also switched to speaking the Common Tongue of the Andals, but even in the present day, Dornishmen speak with a distinctive accent not heard elsewhere in the Seven Kingdoms this is acknowledged in the episode " Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken", when Jaime Lannister cautions Bronn against singing too loudly, for fear that his non-Dornish accent might give them away. As a result, the religion is interpreted more loosely in Dorne than in other parts of the Seven Kingdoms (though its followers are no less devout), with several unique variations and local customs. The Rhoynar who migrated to Westeros converted to the Faith of the Seven, but in many ways they simply picked and chose which rules they wanted to follow while ignoring those they disagreed with. Due to their Rhoynar blood, Dornishmen tend to possess olive skin, black hair, and dark eyes. In the case of the Dornish, this is due to the intermingling of Westerosi inhabitants of the region - predominantly of First Men and Andal origins - with Rhoynar refugees who fled Essos to escape conquest by the Valyrian Freehold and eventually settled in Dorne. Like the Northmen and the ironborn, the Dornish have a unique culture, law system, and ethnic background that sets them apart from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms. The Dornishmen, commonly referred to as "the Dornish", are the inhabitants of Dorne, one of the constituent regions of Westeros. The ethnic background of Dornishmen separates them from the rest of the Westerosi people. All they want to do is fight and fuck, fuck and fight." ― Bronn ![]()
