The video is narrated by “The Red Viper of Dorne,” Prince Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal), and a recount a history that is pretty unique among Westeros’ Seven Kingdoms. Dorne is the only kingdom to be ruled by both males and females, and is also the only kingdom that did not fall to the Targaryens in war, but by marriage instead, they were brought into the kingdoms through marriage. That alliance would end poorly for House Martell, when Robert’s Rebellion broke out.
