Starfall is located in the western Red Mountains on an island in the Torrentine where it pours into the Summer Sea. It guards the western arm of Dorne. According to legend, Starfall was built where the first Dayne found a magic stone after he followed the path of a shooting star.

Dessie was in the midst of laughing hard in reaction to a hilarious tale one of her handmaidens had just spun out, when she suddenly felt someone collide hard into her from the back. Thankfully, the ruling lady of Starfall was one that was pretty agile on her feet , and thus only needed to briefly clasp the wrist of one of her handmaidens for a couple of moments before she was able to steady herself once again. Hearing the flurry of apologies behind her, she then turned around quickly, grinning for she could already recognize to whom that fair voice belonged to. ‘It’s alright. I really needed that bump to knock me back to sensibilities for a moment. My stomach was nearly about to explode from laughter pretty soon. You saved me actually, dear sister,” her merry dark eyes twinkled brightly. For most of her life up till now, Dessiemira was hardly one to take offence at almost anything. It would take a tremoundous amount of wrongdoings done by a single individual to ever get Dessie to frown in true annoyance or anger due to her naturally easy-going nature. Well, except maybe for instances where her husband who was equally as passionate, opinionated and impulsive as Dessie, would get under her skin once in a while she got under his too.Theirs was a firecracker, highly unconventional and beautifully-crazy ride of a marriage and they both wouldn’t have it any other way.

Looking down at her sister-in-laws shoes, Dessie then nodded in agreement. “They very much are, and we can’t possibly have you losing all your your ten toes at such a young age, can we? Did you bring any other warmer and thicker pair?” Dessie inquired. “If not, you can have one of mine before we make our way to the one of the best showmakers around here,” she smiled widely at the younger girl. 

Her anxiety lessened a bit when she realized it was her good sister in front of her.   She took a deep breath before offering her a kind smile.   The woman was always far too kind, perhaps to much.   She had never seen her ever get any sort of upset in the years that she’s been a member of the Dayne family and it was refreshing and calming knowing that the older woman was always there if Amyra ever needed a voice of reason or reassurance.   “ Well, I’m glad I could be of assistance.   I’ll make sure to remember to mention to my brother that I saved his dear wife's life.   I’m sure he will be eternally grateful! ”    Amyra joked a bit, smirking at the woman and her handmaidens behind her.

“ I’m sure losing just one toe would set me off balance, and I’m already clumsy enough apparently. ”   The young Dayne shrugged her shoulders before looking back to where he handmaidens were surely unpacking her bags of clothes.   “ I’m unsure what was packed...but I don’t think I own anything near warm enough for this....air. ”

saltsvnd​:

The impact of another’s body was one Hasan should have expected by the way he got himself partially distracted by the tapestries hanging along the walls of the otherwise bleak corridor. Who could blame the man for staring to what seemed like the only vibrant thing he’d set his gaze upon since coming to Winterfell ? Everything else was bleak — perhaps, bleaker than he imagined, but what else could he expect to a castle located in the harsh North ? Fortunately for the dornishman, he’d stumble upon someone familiar and may have been sharing his ( particularly his body’s, which had been accustomed to the warmth and heat of Dorne ) protests against the northern chill seeping through his own garments. 

“ I fear they might just, ” Hasan jested as soon as he was certain that it was, indeed, the youngest Dayne he came upon in this unfamiliar corridor. “ It appears you have underestimated the northern chill, Amyra — ” a smile graces his lips, relieved that he was, at the very least, not alone in this journey far from home. He looked down at his own clothing for a moment: thick, but not thick enough to accommodate the weather up north and keep his body temperature steadily warm, before he added, “ — as I have, so it seemed. One would expect the northern weather to be at the very least merciful with us dornishmen now that spring has come. ”

“ I apologize. ”    The girl said, nodded her head down in a sign of respect.   I should have been paying more attention, Hasan.   It was a strange thing to see fellow Dornishmen and women here.   Their tan skins and different attitudes stood out in such a dark and gloomy place like Winterfell.   The northerners were seen walking around seemingly unaffected by the harsh chill in the air, and the lack of warmth on their skin from the sun shining.   For this being her first real trip outside of Starfall she probably should have done a bit more research and preparation. 

“ I don’t see the north ever being merciful, weather or people. ”   She laughed a bit, pulling the warm coat a bit closer and tighter around her neck.     “ If only Vorian had warned me, I could have had some made. Maybe if I keep blood flowing and movement I’ll be able to save them. Losing these would make it awfully hard to dance tonight. ”

armoredspirit​:

                he  should  have  guessed  it ,        that  when  he  saw  vorian  it  would  imply  the  presence  of  his  half  sister .  eliar  was  not  known  for  his  thoughtfulness ,  however ,  so  perhaps  it  made  sense  he  had  not .  also  thoughtless   ?   a  man  of  his  stature  not  paying  attention  to  where  he  was  going ,  and  yet  the  young  lord  of  house  umber  would  blame  it  on  being  distracted .  he  turned  the  corner  too  quickly  and  finds  himself  colliding  with  amyra .  thankfully ,  he  has  the  reflexes  of  a  fighter  and  a  traveler ,  and  his  instincts  allow  him  to  reach  out  and  catch  her  so  he  does  not  knock  her  over .  he  steadies  them  both ,  and  then  returns  his  hands  to  his  side .  it  is  in  the  midst  of  this  that  he  realizes  who  it  is ,  and  he  offers  her  an  upward  quirk  of  his  eyebrow .   ‘   you  know  you  don’t  have  to  literally  run  into  me  to  get  my  attention ,  my  lady .  i  respond  to  messages ,  summons ,  ravens ,  whatever  form  of  communication  you  prefer  really ,   ’   he  teases .

        he  looks  down  at  the  shoes  on  her  feet  and  frowns .   ‘   those  won’t  do  you  too  well  up  here ,  no . .   i  could  inquire  if  one  of  my  sisters  has  an  extra  pair  .   ’

“You might be right, but that’s the quickest way to get you to get your hands on me; isn’t it, my lord.” The girl shot back at him, a smirk slowly forming across her face as the words left her mouth. She watch his reaction carefully, trying to read him and see if he was one to play with her sharp tongue and playful spirit. She slightly remembered him, and him visiting her brother and Starfall during his travels.

“I’d appreciate that, I don’t think I own anything much warmer unfortunately. The climate here is much....different than what I’m used too.” Different was an understatement, but she didn’t want to see dramatic, she was sure he knew all the differences and was prepared for all kinds of weather but traveling, new places and weather was all foreign to Amyra, and she was trying her best to adjust quickly and quietly. “For now, these will have to do.”

ofnorthernprince​:

Dornish wine and a few other varieties were definitely helping the northern prince get through the whole thing. The Stark siblings all mourned the loss of their father in their own way. He had been against the whole grand affair from the beginning. Don’t get him wrong, he enjoyed a good party - but all this seemed overzealous. He had a cup of summer wine that he was taking back with him to somewhere in the castle, this was his home no one would question it. He was just rounding a corner and well, he forgot about all the other people that were taking up the place there and he and another collided. His cup of summer wine sloshed around and splashed out onto the floor. “Well, that’s slightly disappointing.” He said looking to the liquid staining the floor and then, of course, the woman’s voice and something about shoes and frozen toes. “We haven’t lost any toes on guests in quite a while. But I’m sure the maester is quite prepared for it from our southern guests.” 

The dark haired woman looked down at the wine spilt on the ground and frowned. Spilt wine was always a sad sight to see. “I apologize, once more...” She gave him a regretful smile. “My lord.” Once she realized it was the prince, she nodded her head down, cursing herself under her breathe. ‘I’m not even here a full night and I’ve already managed to spill the princes wine.’ She watched him for a bit, to see if he was serious about the maester being prepared for southerners losing toes before letting out a slight chuckle. “I’ll just have to find myself someone who can make me some better suited shoes, I suppose.” She needed to find a way to keep her feet warm, but for now she wasn’t about to let it stop her from wandering about the castle and grounds. Winterfell was so different from anything she’s ever experienced before, she didn’t want to stay in her chambers or by her brothers side.

WINTERFELL, THE NORTH   ||    OPEN STARTER

Traveling had always been something that excited Amyra, probably more than anyone else. It meant a chance to get out of Starfall and Dorne and see new things. She felt jealous of her brother Vorian, as he was able to escape and life a free life for a while outside of the hot and sea mist filled air and lifestyle they were born into. Once arriving in Winterfell she could barely hold in her excitement, wanting to get away from her family and duties to explore the cold, dark place. It was the opposite of what she was used to seeing, yet it felt so comforting to be there. She paid her respects to the King and Queen before looking at her brother for his approval to be dismissed. Her handmaidens were busy bringing her things to her chambers during the stay here and she found this time before dinner to be the perfect time to explore a bit. The large dark stone walls held off the cold, but she wrapped her newly made fur coat around her a bit tighter, as she wasn’t used to the cold air.  She was looking down, at her once clean shoes, cursing herself for not putting on a more durable pair, or at least something warmer when she felt a shadow in front of her, and before she had a chance to process what was happening she collided with the body. 

“Oh goodness!” She exclaimed, reaching out for the person, hoping they were okay and wouldn’t be displeased with her inability to multitask. “I apologize, I wasn’t paying enough attention. You see these shoes; they are much to thin and I’m worried my toes might just freeze off if I don’t get something different on soon.”

ＨＥＡＤＣＡＮＯＮＳ-

┄ the last born child to daeron dayne and his second wife marida, amyra was the only girl in the dayne family, making her extremely spoiled and well looked after. 

┄ her half brothers always held a sort of resentment towards her mother, but that didn’t prevent amyra from quickly bonding with them. you’d never know by their behaviours that they are half siblings. 

┄ from a young age amyra was always told she resembled and behaved much like her ancestor ashara dayne, the fallen star. from their shared purple eyes and wild spirit and loving fiercely many people whispered she was ashara reincarnated. 

┄ much to her mother’s distaste amyra was a wild girl, often skipping or running out of her sewing lessons to find her brothers or roam the sandy streets of starfall, talking with the people. 

┄ not long after her father’s passing her mother followed after getting sick one cold winter’s night. the waves crashed hard against the stone walls that night, and amyra sat dangerously close to the ledge, waiting for a large wave to crash and bring her into the ocean. 

┄ her older brother lewyn took on the role of ruling lord of starfall shortly after their father’s death, her other brother left starfall and dorne when she was only 4 she grew attached to llewellyn and was often seen just at his heels most places he went. her other brother was busy training, with a desire to become a night. 

┄ amyra grew tired of her lessons and the pressure of becoming a lady that would just be married off, and just after lewyn died from sickness and vorian returned to becoming the ruling lord amyra started to rebel. she help a bit of resentment toward vorian as his was able to leave dorne and be free for years but they still bonded quickly as her free spirit was like his own. 

┄ at the age of twenty-five amyra has yet to be married, and enjoys her days walking the shores of starfall daily. whispers of her promiscuous manners are spread throughout the kingdom, but none rarely hold any truth. she loved flirting, but nothing more.

┄ her greatest joy are her nieces and nephew, and she spends as much time as she can with them teaching them of their family history, and the history of dorne all while daydreaming of having children of her own one day, with a man she truly loves.
