House Dondarrion

House Dondarrion of Blackhaven is an old house from Blackhaven in the stormlands, sworn to House Baratheon of Storm's End.

Blackhaven, the castle of these great marcher lords, is located in the Dornish Marches near the Boneway, controlling the pass to Dorne. Their sigil is a forked purple lightning bolt on black field speckled with four-pointed stars. Their motto is unknown.

There current lord is Lord Addam Dondarrion.

History
The Dondarrion line was founded when a messenger from the Storm King was ambushed by two Dornishmen while riding on a stormy night. An arrow killed his horse and his sword broke when he fell. When he thought he was doomed, a bright purple lightning bolt struck the Dornishmen, killing both. The man was thus able to deliver his crucial message on time. For this, the Storm King raised him to lordship, and he became the first Dondarrion.

The Bastard of Blackhaven was killed by Meraxes during the Last Storm, one of the battles during Aegon's Conquest.

Lord Harmon Dondarrion had his nose cut off by the Vulture King, who also burned Blackhaven. Harmon helped Lady Ellyn Caron and Lord Samwell Tarly defeat the Dornish outlaw in the Second Dornish War.

Lord Simon Dondarrion was a noted musician and warrior who helped to defeat a Vulture King in the Third Dornish War. A Dondarrion served as a companion to Queen Alysanne Targaryen.

House Cole began as stewards in service to the Dondarrions at Blackhaven.

The Dondarrions gave refuge to King Baelor I Targaryen and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight when they returned from Dorne via the Boneway.
