Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We're Asking After 'The Lion And The Rose'
5. Will Dorne Get Involved?
Weve heard little of Dorne until this season. It was chosen as a safe haven for Myrcella, much to Cerseis disgust, but it was relatively underdeveloped in comparison to the lands beyond the Narrow Sea or even the wilderness beyond the Wall. Then last episode featured the arrival of the smouldering and incredibly dangerous Oberyn Martell, and suddenly Dorne seems a lot closer to Kings Landing. Oberyn has already stated to Tyrion that he seeks to avenge the Mountains brutal murder of his sister and her children, but is that his only motive? Cersei will probably demand that Myrcella is returned to her now that shes lost a child, and especially since Oberyn taunts her about her daughter's absence in this episode, but Dorne may then be in a position to issue demands of some sort. We know so little about the kingdom and its people, and even about Oberyn, that we cant discount Dorne as a political force in future episodes.
