Princess Elia Nymeros Martell, heir to Dorne, and her husband Rhaegar in the year 279 AC.

(this is inspired by my au in which birth orders are swapped — elia is the eldest martell sibling and rhaegar is a second son — so their marriage agreement works the other way, with rhaegar being sent to dorne. elia’s clothes are inspired by fashions in moorish spain during the 11th century, while rhaegar’s are a mix of byzantine and early renaissance italy)

#asoiaf #scribbles #rhaegar targaryen #elia martell #asoiaf fanart #valyrianscrolls #three drawings in a row? it’s more likely than you think #anyway this took me forever #blood sweat and tears went into this #especially all the little suns on elia’s dress #anyway i’m still thinking about what would be different and what would be the same in this au #they would still have 2 children bc elia needs an heir and a spare for dorne #but they would be called obella and doran #the prophecy would still be a thing to a certain extent bc rhae’s neuroses won’t quit #but i think the power dynamic swinging the opposite way would give them a better chance at happiness #however short-lived #given my idea is that rhaegar’s older brother dies just as aerys fully starts to lose it #turning everything on its head #regardless #hope people like this #they’re voted couple most in need of vitamin supplements and therapy <3
