Elia, who eventually married Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, had the beautiful Lady Ashara Dayne as one of her companions. While journeying to Casterly Rock for the possible brokerage of their marriages, Prince Oberyn Martell and Princess Elia Martell visited Starfall. Knights of Starfall by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games Dyanna Dayne, who died before her husband became King Maekar I Targaryen, was the mother of Maester Aemon and King Aegon V Targaryen. Ulrick Dayne, a Sword of the Morning, was considered an exceptional knight by Ser Eustace Osgrey, comparable as a swordsman to Daemon I Blackfyre and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight. Grand Maester Benifer wanted to detach Starfall from Dorne, which was then still independent from the Seven Kingdoms. In 47 AC Lady Clarisse Dayne was suggested as a potential wife for King Maegor I Targaryen. Queen Visenya Targaryen retaliated by burning Starfall with Vhagar. In 10 AC during the First Dornish War, Ser Joffrey Dayne led a Dornish army to the walls of Oldtown, razing the fields and villages outside it. Nymeria, Princess of Dorne, was later succeeded by her eldest daughter by her first husband, Mors Martell, not her son by Davos. Nymeria's third husband was Ser Davos Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. Afterwards the Daynes supported Nymeria against King Yorick V Yronwood. The last Dayne King, Vorian, known as the Sword of the Evening, was defeated in Nymeria's War and sent to the Wall. King Samwell Dayne, called the Starfire, once burned Oldtown. The Daynes have taken part in many conflicts between Dorne and the Reach, including battles against House Oakheart. The Daynes are also famed for Dawn, their ancestral sword made from the fallen star, and the men who wield it, the Swords of the Morning. Along with the Fowlers and Yronwoods, the Daynes were among the most powerful and prestigious houses of ancient Dorne.

His descendants became Kings of the Torrentine and Lords of Starfall.


The first Dayne is said to have raised Starfall on an island at the mouth of the Torrentine, having tracked a falling star there and found a stone of magical powers. House Dayne is one of the most ancient houses in the Seven Kingdoms, claiming First Men ancestry dating back ten thousand years to the dawn of days.
