That was the tipping point, and House Martell was decisively crushed. Quickly enough, they were bent, bowed, and broken, and all their dwindling allies were quick to abandon them. Many argued about the complete destruction of the line of Nymeros Martell, but neither Lord Yronwood nor the Storm King dared to do the deed since the Winter Queen herself had made the marriage arrangement of the former Princess of Dorne. Instead, House Martell was demoted to a knightly House, sworn to their new overlord Lord Drinkwater, who had been awarded Lemonwood as his seat for services to House Yrownood.
