Beauty Rules
History: Centuries ago, they say a Marbella man met a Dornish woman so beautiful, he promised to relinquish his title to her if she decided to marry him, to which she did. Since then, House Marbella has been ruled by the Lady of Lemonwood. Marbella woman are worshipped as if they were goddesses, often celebrating them through festivals thrown under the full moon in honor of The Mother and The Maiden. When it is time for marriage, the man must swear an oath to the Lady of Lemonwood, to take her surname, to serve as her loyal knight, to support her as a husband, and to protect her even at the cost of his own life.
House Marbella is one of House Umbriel's fiercest and closest allies, the families have basically grown up together, and whatever House Umbriel decides, House Marbella would be there to honor and support the decision. The former Lady of Lemonwood, Calathea Marbella, and her husband Bana Marbella, often visited the Watergardens to have dinner and break bread with Altair and Alya Umbriel. In most recent events, Rosaline Marbella, the new Lady of Lemonwood, has forged a deeper alliance with House Hawthrone after King Frederick Hawthorne attempted to heal her mother of a mysterious illness with his mystic healing powers.
Unfortunately, since Stainthorpe's failed coup years ago, there's been harsh animosity directed towards them from the Marbella's, mirroring Umbriel's belief in executing the whole family for treason against the crown. Rosaline personally doesn't share the same animosity as her parents did towards them, and prefers to deem the Great House as a neutral presence than a present threat.
Lemonwood and the Marbella's are world class exporters of the blood orange and other citrus fruits to the rest of Westeros and Essos. Also renowned for their delicious and juicy wines, the Marbella family are known to create the best sangria of Dorne with the myriad of tropical fruit that grows in the groves of Lemonwood.
