Biography[]
Born in 331 AC, Valena Jordayne was the eldest child and heir of Lord Robert Jordayne. Her father was a reclusive man, leading Valena to gravitate to her ambitious grandmother. She learned the gift of administration and how to rule the Tor. As a child she learned water dancing paid for by her grandmother. She would continue to spar later in life.
Valena read many books from her father's extensive library, learning espionage and logistics among other things. She found love with Tremond Wells, the second son of a small knightly house of Dorne. At 16 she bore him a child mere months after they married. She bore him two more daughters who they loved dearly. They had planned to raise them in the martial arts, but Tremond was killed as a volunteer in the War of the Burning Brand. The Lady of the Tor was heartbroken. She found solace in the arms of others, before delivering a natural born daughter.
When she became Lady of the Tor, Valena dedicated her life to the growth of her city. Likewise, her extended family would be an vital part of her being.

Before they leave for King's Landing, Valena chastises her daughters for not acting as properly as expected. At the Capital, her nephew Andrey Sand surprises her by signing up for the archery competition while her niece Dorea Jordayne worries her by overshadowing her own daughter's beauty. She attended the Melee with her eye scouting the competitors. There she also engaged the Hand of the King in conversation. After the competition, she paid a visit to Ser Dorian Tyrell with a certain motive.
Valena attended the archery competition to watch her nephew Andrey Sand compete. He was the victor, much to her enjoyment. On the day of the boxing tournament, she introduces her daughter to Dorian Tyrell while continuing to flirt with him. At a feast, she offered the knight her daughter's hand in marriage, only to be rejected.
Valena returns to the Tor and ponders the plight of women in Westeros. She sends her daughter and nephew to pledge allegiance to Cassana Baratheon. Janyce meets with Cassana's son and conveys her mother's message. Soon after, Dragonstone prepares for war. Valena receives word from her daughter on the island and prepares her ships.
