In recent weeks, we have found out that Spain would be the filming location for Dorne and now we have received even more news of characters coming out of that location. After Oberyn Martell’s disturbing death last season, we are now being introduced to at least three of his daughters who are referred to as the Sand Snakes.

These characters are originally introduced in the Dance of Dragons novel and they are the illegitimate daughters of Oberyn. Also, just like the North uses ‘Snow’ to represent illegitimacy, Dorne uses ‘Sand’ for the same purpose.

According to International Business Times:

The Sand Snakes will be arriving on the scene in Season 5 as a result of their father’s death at the hands (very literally) of Gregor Clegane. In the books, the daughter’s urge Dorne to declare war in retribution for their father’s death, carrying out secret missions to advance their cause and agitating the people of Dorne. Some of them are eventually imprisoned for their warmongering. 

As is their right to be angry over the father’s death, but let’s face it, he did monologue a bit too much during that fight. I mean, did anyone else wish he would stop talking and just kill the mountain? I get that he wanted the Mountain to admit the injustice done to his sister but, goodness, I was freaking out.

Anywho, like stated, three of the daughters have already been cast.
Rosabell Laurenti Sellers will play Tyene Sand, Jessica Henwick will play Nymeria Sand, and Keisha Castle-Hughes will play Obara Sand.

So, what does everyone think? Excited for the Sand Snakes? I think three strong and fierce female characters will be fantastic!
