The laws of Dorne stand as a fascinating departure from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms. While the other realms follow strict male-preference primogeniture, Dorne's adherence to absolute primogeniture means the eldest child inherits, regardless of gender.

Their laws also grant more freedoms to natural-born children, who may take the name Sand with pride, unlike the stigma attached to other regional bastard names. Most intriguingly, Dornish law protects the autonomy of paramours, a practice that would be scandalous elsewhere in Westeros.
