Elia Martell - Blog Posts

Todays art. AU where Elia Martell lives based on this scene in Judith with the Head of Holofernes by Cristofano Allori 1612. Thoughts ?

Sorry still not great with procreate.

Just drew this. Modern! Rhaegar as Drake and Rapper! Oberyn as Kendrick . Thoughts?

The oldish generation of highborn sisters and brothers from Westeros who are - as of now - mostly dead :D Well, there is still some hope for little Dany.  (Part 2)

Here Ned and Oberyn are both in their late teens/early twentys as their beloved sisters died at that age.  

Elia Martell for @archamion <3

It was Aegon’s son, King Daeron II the Good, who finally brought Dorne into the realm…not with iron and fire but with soft swords and smiles and a pair of well-considered marriages, and a solemn treaty that granted the Dornish princes their style and their privileges and guaranteed that their own laws and customs should always prevail in Dorne. Dorne continued to be closely allied with House Targaryen in the years that followed, with the Martells supporting the Targaryens against the Blackfyre Pretenders and sending spears to fight the Ninepenny Kings on the Stepstones. Their loyal service was rewarded when Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne, took to wife Princess Elia Martell of Sunspear, and sired two children by her. But for the madness of Rhaegar’s father, Aerys II, a prince of Dornish blood might very well have one day ruled the realm.

Marriages between House Targaryen and House Martell (requested by @diamondsinmyhair)

"a gift”

I will never not eat up characters that haunt the narrative that shit keeps me up for WEEKS

it's much easier to stan (read: use as a self interest) a character with no apparent personality traits or flaws

The fact that Elia Martell has more stans than Oberyn or Arianne Martell, who both are characters who appear on the book series and actually have a personality will never stop being funny to me.

rhaegar aegon rhaenys & elia in dorne

Dorne and house Martell week > day 3: favorite pre-series era Dornish(wo)man

Princess Elia Nymeros Martell was the fourth child and first daughter born to the ruling Unnamed Princess of Dorne, and the second surviving infancy after Doran. Born a month premature, her health was always delicate. Elia was said to be beautiful, slender with black eyes. She was gentle, kind and clever with a sweet wit. Born about a decade after Doran but one year before Oberyn, she was particularly close to her younger brother. Elia and Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen were betrothed in 279 AC and married the year after. Their marriage, although not romantic, seemed happy. Two children were born of their union: Rhaenys and Aegon, but the pregnancies strongly affected her health. Set up on his prophecy quest, Rhaegar humiliated her by crowning 16-year old Lyanna Stark Queen of Love and Beauty at the Tourney of Harrenhal, and then, by sparking Robert’s Rebellion following his kidnapping of Lyanna. During Robert’s Rebellion, she was kept with her children at King’s Landing by King Aerys II as hostages to prevent Dornish betrayal and to blackmail Kingsguard Lewyn Martell. She was murdered, alongside her children, during the Sack of King’s Landing by Gregor Clegane.
