The arms of House Martell display the sun and spear, the Dornishman’s two favored weapons, but of the two, the sun is the more deadly.

It is a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don’t want to be most of us.

Happy birthday @oberynmartell!

“An old septon once claimed I was living proof of the goodness of the gods. Do you know why that is, Imp?” “No,” Tyrion admitted warily. “Why, if the gods were cruel, they would have made me my mother’s firstborn, and Doran her third. I am a bloodthirsty man, you see. And it is me you must contend with now.” ♦ requested by @dalekofchaos

Queen Myrcella? It would have been more tempting if only he did have Sansa tucked beneath his cloak. If she declared for Myrcella over Tommen, would the north follow? What the Red Viper was hinting at was treason. Could Tyrion truly take up arms against Tommen, against his own father? Cersei would spit blood. It might be worth it for that alone.

He had traveled in the Free Cities, learning the poisoner’s trade and perhaps arts darker still, if rumours could be believed. He had studied at the Citadel, going so far as to forge six links of a maester’s chain before he grew bored. He had soldiered in the Disputed Lands across the narrow sea, riding with the Second Sons for a long time before forming his own company. His tourneys, his battles, his duels, his horses, his carnality… it was said he had bedded men and women both, and had begotten bastard girls all over Dorne. The sand snakes, men called his daughters.
