Standing in the Red Mountains of western Dorne, Blackmont watches the upland country between the Torrentine valley and the passes leading north. Raiding across the marches has shaped its history.
House Blackmont holds it under the Martells, with a black vulture clutching a child for its arms. Its lords have led Dornish raiding parties into the stormlands and the Reach in the long centuries of border war.
