nastydream Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Do people in Dorne treat bastards differently or was it just Oberyn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 They're a lot more common to find at court in Dorne, and in general Dorne is very different about such matters, so a tentative yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyannaisalive Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 They are treated fairly by most in Dorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowsKnight Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Dorne appears to be more progressive. Woman have better rights. Bastards might possibly be less stigmatized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think bastards are in the position where they aren't looked down upon or thought as treacherous like in the other regions. However they still are beneath the nobility and a marriage to a bastard is still probably unthinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinchanging Sweetrobin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The Dornish claim they treat them fairly, but if that were completely true, they wouldn't use the name "sand" and screw them out of inheritance. In general, we find very different treatment of bastards in Westeros depending on the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHam Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Do people in Dorne treat bastards differently or was it just Oberyn? I think the idea that bastards are treated differently in Dorne is an invention of the HBO show. Couldn't find anything in the books by searching "bastards" anyway. There's nothing mentioned on the concordance page for Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
