Located in the western deserts of Dorne, Sandstone is a pale keep amid dunes, dependent on its wells and the scant trade routes that cross the sand. Neighbouring seats lie days of hard travel away.

House Qorgyle holds it, taking three scorpions for its arms. Its lords have served the Martells loyally, and Dornish squires and knights of the house have been fostered at Sunspear and further afield in the Seven Kingdoms.
