While House Martell was plotting the return of House Targaryen, Lord Anders Yronwood was making internal alliances. His wife, Yrelle, was the sister of Lord Qorgoyle, and his children and cousins made ties with Houses Dayne, Allyrion, and Blackmont. After the second field of fire, House Martell's forces were the most devastated. The following winter saw the Dornish strength weaken further. Not only did Arianne marry an insignificant Tallhart cousin from a branch line, but she let her final brother, Trystane, marry a daughter of a Lyseni magister, spurning Lord Yronwood's youngest daughter.
