Thrid Person POV
Dorne, 295 AC.
---------------------------------------
Jon followed the Arti group into the room where Doran Martell awaited them. As they ehe riess of details filled the room, with Jon being quite amazed by the historical value surrounding him, highlighting the history of Dorne and the Martell family.
The hall was rge and spacious. At the front, a man sat in the only chair on a small elevation, patiently waiting for them. He curiously examihem, with Oberyn also waiting by his side with his daughters, and oher side, there were some youths whom Jon guessed to be legitimate children.
A Dornish herald annouheir presence immediately, already gathering all information about them as they were on their way; "The emi ente from the North, uhe leadership of Jon Artica, enters lorious hall!" He announced, and there was more respect shown to them than at the port.
Jon approached as the group walked behind him, keeping his eye on the man who studied him the eime while seated in his chair. Jon stopped a few meters below the elevated area and waited for the herald to annouhe man so as not to break etiquette.
"You are in the presence of Doran Martell, head of House Martell and the protector of the south." The man briefly spoke his titles, and Jon looked at him before bowing his head slightly for a light salute, while the man did the same.
He looked at him for a while and broke the silence for the first time. "I must admit I was quite surprised by 200 ships passing through the Stepstones with an unknown fg unlike anything ever seen, I wondered who this force could be, apparently emerging from nowhere..." He ented and tinued. "Now, receiving more information about it, I admit I was quite shocked that the little northern boy I heard about many years ago has grown to the point of having a great forder his and. You now call yourself, Jon Artica, king of that realm I heard about more than 3 years ago, but I still wonder how you were able to build all this... I always heard stories about you a few years ago, maybe because they reached this end of the ti, they seemed distorted and surreal, but everyone said you are blessed by the old gods... Would you mind if you answered this st statement." He said calmly while everyone looked at him with curiosity, especially Nyra Sand, who had heard the stories of little Jon but never believed those tales when younger, but now seeing him in person, maybe not everything could be said to be a fantasy.
Jon looked at him for a moment and finally decided to speak. "You may cssify me as such, after all, I owe everything to my gods." Jon admitted, he was nious like the children of the forest, the witches of the woods, or some in Artica, but certainly aowledged that if it weren't for his gods, he would never be where he is now.
"I see, now let me introduce my family, you have already met my two daughters who are with you, I hope they have treated you well." He said while Arianne Martell and Nyra Sand remained close to Jon as they led them.
"I have nothing to pin about the dies." Jon spoke calmly.
Doran looked to the side where his brother was, now silent. "I heard about your misuanding at the port, I hope you were not too offended, House Martell would not like ay with su iing group and we will pensate you for it." Doran decred while Oberyn still remained silent, knowing he had erred.
He tinued, "Now let me introduce my other 2 sons, Quentyn Martell and Trystane Martell." He announced as the boys greeted with a small nod of the head as Jon and Doran had done.
"It's a pleasure, these are my wives, Ygritte Artid Seryna Artiy other side, there's my sister, Arya Stark, and my officers, Minister of Fn Affairs, Darius, and Minister of erce, Junly." Jon named all the most important ones.
"I did not know that nds beyond the wall could produce such beautiful women." He said with a kind of courtesy, yet still surprised by these women being more beautiful than any other he had seen, even in Lys, they would still be sidered the most beautiful. However, there was also a dangerous look in them, indig one should not mess with them. "You certainly are a lucky man, moreover..." He turo Arya Stark. "I had never heard of the beauty of Eddard Stark's lost daughter..." Doran ented with a calcutive look. Clearly, the information that Jon had kidnapped Arya Stark had reached the south with Catelyn spreading rumors, but certainly, that was not what happened and from what he could see, going beyond the wall did a lot for the girl, who might even beore beautiful than Nyra wheures.
'Maybe we should reach out to the Starks... that would give a good alliance for Trystane,' Doran thought quickly and also noticed some gnces between Jon and his hidden niece, being a bit surprised, since she had never shown i in the opposite sex.
He just kept his thoughts to himself and turned his attention back to the group leader, "I hear you are looking to open a trade route and are seeking partners, I'm gd you chose Dorne as your first stop, but I am still curious why you chose our kingdom." He asked.
Jon replied, "Because there are resources here that we do not have in Artica, Dorne offers thousands of kilometers with a resource we need, so my choice is based on that aspect." Jon spoke, and Doran raised an eyebrow, what did Dorne have that no other kingdom did?
"Are you seeking sand?" Doran asked, still surprised.
"Yes, and not just a little, I want to take 50 carracks full of it to the north if we e to an agreement." Jon spoke.
"This is really iing..." Doran admitted, after all, it was easy money, sand was an abundant resour the kingdom. He turned his gaze to a huge box that the Arti soldiers brought and spoke again. "You have some iing resources that I've heard rumors about a few years ago, did y some samples?" He asked.
"Yes, let me show them." Jon said, and his guards brought the box while Jon ope. He began to take all the things anized in the pd brought out a bottle, starting to hand the products to Doran's men, who took them to him.
Jon turned his gaze to Junly, who took a step forward to present the products in as much detail as possible. "This is one of our special beers, produced by the skilled dwarves of Artica. We use a barley that only blooms uhe Arctic moonlight, giving this beer a unique fvor you won't find anywhere else. It's refreshing, with a touch of natural sweetness and a slight bitterness at the end. Perfect for toasting to cold nights and shared achievements."
Jon's meake the bottle, filling gsses for Doran and those present, encing them to taste while tinuing to uhe other products.
Junly tinues, "Now, allow me to introduce our Arctic Whisky. Distilled from selected grains and aged in special wooden barrels, it carries the spirit of winter in its essehis whisky is a true representation of our nd: strong, yet with a smoothhat surprises the pate."
He passes the bottle for Doran to examine, before bringing out the piece.
"And this, is our Ice Vodka. Filtered through the volic rocks of our mountains and made with the purest water from our a gciers. Its crity and purity are unmatched, refleg the unaltered beauty of Artica."
Junly offers a sample of the vodka, allowing the aroma and taste to speak for themselves.
Now, with the Arti men bringing out dresses, leaving Arianne and Nyra with a sparkle in their eyes, despite Arianne finding the dress too enclosed, more clothes were taken out of the box, "What we have here is fabric made from ice spider silk, a wonder of our nd. This fabric is not only beautiful but incredibly durable and insuting. We have many ways of dyeing clothes in Artica, and you see the quality and the pain in the fabric. This dress is ideal for the warm climate of Dorh a cooler fabric giving a chilly sensation."
He dispys the fabric, allowing the light to capture its subtle shine.
"These tools represent the innovation and skill of Artica," he said, showiypes of cutlery, knives with more than one fun, even showing a ype of beer opehat was sealed with a metal mouth and removed at onstead of a cap.
Doran asks fss and tries the beer in this pany, despite some protests from his guards, after all, he had to show some trust in the group after what happened. He immediately lets the taste of the Arti beer flood his mouth, leaving him quite surprised.
"This is really good!" He said while looking at the beer with an admiring gnce. He turo his brother. "Try this whisky." He wao see his brother's opinion before trying this strange beer.
The Prince of Dorne opehe bottle, served himself with a gss given to him, took a sip, and looked at the drink with some surprise, "It's really good... however, the taste doesn't match the climate of Dorne," he ented, and Jon decided to speak.
"That's because it cks ice, this drink is better cold," he said.
"Unfortunately, we are in Dorne, not the north..." Oberyed, and Jon wasn't offended but smiled.
"Good that you pared, since we brought something iing for this hot nd," he said, and his men took out a small box from the things they brought. It was a strange box with some runic emblems on it, making everyone look at it with curiosity.
While everyone just watched, Jon took the initiative to open the box after removing a lod lifted the lid, where he took something from the box and removed it. "Do you know what this is?" Jon raised his hand with solid water, and those who had never seen such a thing in their life were shocked.
"Is this what I think it is?!" Doran almost stood up, astonished.
"That's right, ice, brought from the north. You may have sand in abundance, but we have ice," he said with a small smile.
"How is this possible?" Doran asked, curious, it would be moons until reag the north, no thermal equipment could withstand this.
"Artica is a special kingdom, and we have our owhods. This is a magical device that only be recharged in Artica," he said, pointing to the box.
Jon mao develop a runibination to maintain and even lower the temperature. However, he couldn't keep using his magic to recharge the energy in the runes, so he started using the GrandWeirwood, as it had an inexhaustible amount of magiow, and Jon only made it more powerful. All the ice boxes are recharged in its roots that are iy.
"I don't quite uand... but I 't say my eyes are lying... This would certainly be beneficial for this kingdom," Doran admitted.
"I'm gd you see the bes in this," Jon spoke calmly, another reason he had chosen Dorne was that this item would have a much bigger impa this kingdom, after all, Dorne always suffered with high temperatures. Seeing ice for the first time and refreshing their drinks and their own lives would be something never seen before. "This is our main business, we will be sending ice from Artica to the southern kingdoms, something no one has been able to do before," Jon cluded his iions.
Doran Martell pondered Jon's words, his mind bustling with the implications of this new odity. "Are you telling me, Jon Artica, that you could even make our hottest summers more bearable? This would ge everything for Dor would be like a fever among all the nobles of this kingdom."
"Not just the nobles, our ice is quite affordable even for a rge part of the on folk, being able to be sold in taverns and inns," Jon said, nodding fidently. "Imagine your outdoor parties, your bas, and even the day-to-day life of your people, all being from the ess that ice provide against your heat. I tried it before ing here, and the taste of drinks is magnifit in the heat. Not to mention the ercial applications and food preservation."
Oberyn, who had until then maintained a courteous skepticism, now showed geerest too, since his life was driven by pleasure and fort. "This could really revolutiohe way we live. House Martell would be seen as a pioneer in this business in Dorne."
Oberyn's daughters, Arianne and Nyra, exged looks, clearly fasated by the idea of cold drinks and parties cooled by ice, an unimaginable y until now in Dorne.
Doran finally spoke, "I'm starting to see the vast possibilities of this agreement, Jon Artica. Dorne has always been known for its resiliend its ability to thrive uhe scorg sun. With this partnership, we could not only improve the lives of our people. I'm very ied in this."
Jon smiled, pleased with the receptiveo his proposal. "I'm gd you see the potential. Beyond ice, our Arti products, such as beer, whisky, vodka, and ice spider silk fabrics, are just the beginning of what we offer. I believe a robust ercial partnership between Artid Dorne would bring mutual and sting bes."
Doran houghtful. "We o discuss the terms of this agreement, of course. I'd like to see yistics proposal and your pns, as you will o maintain a rge stock here, but you must be tired from your journey. How about you stay here for the few days, settle in now, and we meet tonight at a ba?" Doran suggested.
"That would be good. I showcase my products at the ba? You must have muests in your house; it would be good for the nobility of Doro appreciate our ice before we iate our deal. What do you think?" Jon asked.
"Great, we'll do it your way. I will invite some nobles who are staying in Sunspear, and we will gather together to celebrate this potential ercial alliance," Doran spoke with satisfa, and Jon nodded.
"I will ask my daughters to show you to your new quarters, and my steward will speak with you to collect your stock before we present it tuests," he said, and Jon and his group left the room, led by the girls.
