The Halim-sar, Hidden Fortress of the Rhoynakim

[Dirty Chai]

The Halim-sar
Home of the Rhoynakim



Hidden in the deeper parts of the Red Mountains, the fortress is, after all these centuries, still unknown to most. Even the Martells are left in the dark, only a few select members having known its location.

Description

Originating with the younger brother of Queen Nymeria, Halim, the Sons of the Rhoynar are an independent and ancient order who have sworn to protect Dorne, Sunspear, and the blood of the Rhoynar and Nymeria. The order makes its own decisions and interprets for itself when it is needed, taking no commands from any higher power; not even the Martells may order them around.

Men of the Order

The Rhoynakim originally was only for men of pure Rhoynar blood;
these days the ranks are filled by Salt Dornish with the smoothest skin and the best physiques.
Second sons of nobles, and, rarely, peasant boys, who fill the criteria are sent to train with the Rhoynakim at a young age, so that they may grow up as one of the Rhoynakim,
learning the old Rhoynish runes, racing across Dorne on mighty Sand Steeds, and learning Halim's weapon of choice: the bow.
They wear their hair long, and they dress with eloquence. They are reserved, and often keep to secrecy, remaining in their hideouts throughout Dorne for long periods of time.
It is considered a wonderful sight to witness a Rhoynakim rider racing his sand steed along the desert.

Laws of the Order

- No liege may command the Rhoynakim. Only the Chieftain may lead them.
- The Rhoynakim may never rest while Dorne lies under another kingdom. They must protect Sunspear's independence or die trying, or thus break their vows.
- The Rhoynakim may never be involved in an act of aggression against other lands of the world; defense only.
- Dornish lords may build a Rhoynakim Sanctuary in order to protect their lands (only 1 unit, and only for defense).
