Shandystone is an abandoned holdfast in southeastern Dorne.

Layout

The modest ruins have fluted pillars, triple arches, and a dry well. It contains mosaics and statues, but most of the building has been overtaken by the sands, including the mosaics inside, while the faces of the statues have been scoured away by it. Nearby are dead trees whose branches have been bleached white[1]

Prince Oberyn Martell once brought two of his daughters, Tyene and Sarella Sand, with his niece, Princess Arianne Martell, to Shandystone. Oberyn showed Tyene how to milk vipers for their venom, while Sarella explored rocks and mosaics to learn of the holdfast's history. Arianne begged her uncle for a story.[1]
