THE WAR OF THE HUNDRED CANDLES Artwork by Diego Gisbert Llorens

83 AC would be remembered for the Fourth Dornish War—though that was a generous name for an event that occupied but a single day. The proximate cause was the succession of Morion Martell as Prince of Dorne after the death of his father. He felt that his father’s lack of support for the Vulture King during the Third Dornish War was a sign of cowardice, and was determined to undo that stain to Dornish honor by invading the Seven Kingdoms himself. So he began plotting an attack by sea against Cape Wrath in the stormlands. It was a dubious choice, as Dorne lacked naval strength. For the better part of a year Morion assembled his forces, recruiting every Stepstones pirate, sellsail from the Free City of Myr, and corsair from the Pepper Coast that he could. Aware that Meraxes had been killed by a bolt from a scorpion at Hellholt, Morion and his lords filled each ship with crossbows and scorpions so that any dragon who dared approach would meet a cloud of death.

But the best part of a year spent recruiting sails could not go unnoticed by the Iron Throne, and word of Morion’s plans soon reached Jaehaerys. The king knew when Morion’s fleet set sail, so he and his sons Aemon and Baelon fell upon them from the clouds while they were still at sea. Though the Dornish fleet tried filling the air with arrows and bolts, killing a dragon in flight was easier said than done. Vermithor, Caraxes, and Vhagar unleashed their flames, and the hundred ships of the fleet went up in flame. The Fourth Dornish War ended that day, and would in later years be called the War of the Hundred Candles or Prince Morion’s Madness. Morion’s successor, Princess Mara, fortunately proved less belligerent.

A painting I did based on a line from Ovid’s Metamorphoses

“Then Circe turned to prayers and incantations, and unknown chants to worship unknown gods, chants which she used to eclipse Luna's pale face and veil her father Helios the Sun's orb in thirsty clouds. Now too the heavens are darkened as she sings.” 🌌
