Alek the Sander of Sandstone
Alek Sands was a bastard, which gave him less of support to get his claim through to the lords of Dorne. But having won several sieges along the west of the land, he was becoming well known amongst the Dornes.

Alek's host are all made up from bastards, crooks and outlaws with no proper training. But the inspiration and tactics given to them has allowed them to be victorius throughout Dorne. He has no cavalry, only Spearmen and Archers.

Aftermath
This battle was the final battle of Trystane Martell, who was killed by a rain of arrows. With this victory, Alek marched his army to claim his crown in Sunspear.
