The Dornish Diamonds in Gardens of Misery

In the years leading up to the Dance of the Dragons, the three bastard daughters of Demelza Dayne, nicknamed the Dornish Diamonds, were often the subject to much speculation. Though Lady Demelza never officially named any of the girls’ fathers, many had their own theories, though gossip was somewhat lessened once Lady Demelza gave birth to a trueborn son. Regardless, the sisters each had their own roles to play in the civil war that consumed Westeros.

Elyana Sand (b. 113AC), eldest of Lady Demelza’s daughters who was born in Starfall following her banishment from court. Though Lady Demelza was enigmatic about the girl’s father, it was somewhat of an open secret that the child had been fathered by the Kingmaker, Ser Criston Cole. Elyana survived the Dance of the Dragons, venturing to Sunspear to serve Aliandra Martell.

Rhyanon Waters (b. 116AC), middle of Lady Demelza’s daughters, born in King’s Landing following her return to court. The girl’s silver-blonde hair gave rise to rumour that Daemon Targaryen was the child’s father, while a less popular rumour suggested that Rhyanon was a product of an affair between Lady Demelza and King Viserys. A fierce warrior with a fiery temperament, Rhyanon was killed during the Dance of the Dragons.

Ceridwen Rivers (b. 118AC), youngest of Lady Demelza’s daughters, born in an unknown location in the Riverlands. Due to the mystery of Ceridwen’s birth, there are not confirmed stances on who her father was. Following the Dance of the Dragons, Ceridwen continued to live with her mother’s husband in the Westerlands. It is unknown what happened to her following her marriage to a blacksmith at Lannisport.
