Sunspear is the ancient and majestic seat of House Martell, located in the southernmost part of Westeros, in the scorching desert lands of Dorne. The city, and the castle within it, is nestled on the shores of the Summer Sea, where the hot, dry climate of the region meets the cool breezes of the sea. Sunspear stands as a symbol of Dorne’s proud independence, its culture, and its unique way of life, distinct from the other regions of Westeros.

The castle itself is a stunning blend of Dornish architecture, with its high, slender towers, white stone walls, and open courtyards designed to catch the slightest breeze. Sunspear rises above the city, its spires and walls gleaming in the harsh sunlight. The castle is built in a way that embraces the sun and the heat, with narrow windows, shaded alcoves, and elaborate water features that help keep the air cool in the blistering heat of the Dorne sun. Its signature feature is the Spear Tower, a tall, slender spire that is said to resemble a spear, symbolic of House Martell’s sigil.

The people here are a mix of Dornishmen, traders from across the known world, and travelers seeking the warmth of the desert.
