How Dorne Beat The Dragons | 10 Minute Lore

Game of Thrones. Aegon the Conqueror took six of the Seven Kingdoms with three dragons. Kings who defied him burned. Armies turned to ash. Everyone knelt — because the alternative was fire. Everyone except Dorne. This is the story of the one kingdom the dragons couldn't conquer: how a poor desert people refused to fight, poisoned their own wells, vanished into the sand, threw the invaders out of windows, and did what no one in the world had ever done — killed a dragon, bringing Queen Rhaenys and Meraxes out of the sky with a single scorpion bolt. And how, after nine years of fire, a sealed letter no one has ever read made Aegon the Conqueror simply stop. Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken. Real Roots — 10 Minute Lore. Subscribe for more!!
