Dorne is the hottest region of Westeros. The region is rocky, mountainous, arid and dry, and features the only desert on the continent. Dorne is bordered by the Sea of Dorne to the north, the islands known as the Stepstones to the east, and the Summer Sea to the south.
The conquest of Dorne was a war in Westeros, fought between the Iron Throne and Dorne. Upon ascending to the throne, King Daeron I Targaryen wanted to complete the campaign begun by his ancestor, Aegon the Conqueror.
The Conquest of Dorne lasted a summer (keeping in mind that a summer in Westeros can last several years) and ended with Daeron's death in 161 AC at the age of eighteen while trying to put down the Dornish rebellion.
