History
According to legend, a land bridge called the Arm of Dorne once connected Westeros and Essos. The Broken Arm and the Stepstones were created when the Arm of Dorne was shattered by the Breaking,[4] the usage of the hammer of the waters by the children of the forest.[2]
During the coming of the Andals, Morgan Martell established House Martell between the Broken Arm and the Greenblood.[5]
