Set on the river that shares its name in central Dorne, Vaith stands at the edge of the deep sand, where the water still runs steadily enough to support fields and date palms. Hellholt lies upstream to the west.
House Vaith holds the castle for the Martells. Beyond it to the south and west stretch the harshest deserts in Westeros, where travellers move between wells and few outsiders go at all.
