Prince Doran Martell

Prince Doran Martell, regent of Dorne and father of the princess Arianne Martell. Doran suffers from gout, so he is presented to us like someone who is in pain constantly, and is hardly able to walk. Therefore, he is always sitting, with a blanket on his knees and enjoying the peacefulness of the gardens.

He reminds me somehow of Marcus Aurelius, my favorite Roman Emperor. Given his taste for peace and the simple, beautiful things of life, he could have written the famous Meditations. Too bad that his own country is claiming for blood and revenge instead of peace and meditation. How will Doran cope with convulse times?


Uuh..In contrast to Asha, I really like how this turned out. The background is crappy, but I thought it would be better to do something instead of leaving it blank.

Doran Martell is a character from the A Song Of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.
