Traits
The Vaiths are known to be more of a Stony Dornish house than anything else however their ties to their Andal roots are strong with Vaiths throughout history having brilliant green eyes and pale blond hair. Marriages to the Salty and Sandy Dornishmen have produced Vaiths quite a bit darker outside the mainline that tends toward marriages with older houses anchored in Firstmen and Andal blood like Yronwood, Fowler and Dayne.

History
Founding
The Vaiths were adventuring Andals who settled in the hills east of the deep dunes and sands of Dorne. The nearby river soon took their name.
During the War of Conquest, Queen Rhaenys Targaryen flew upon Meraxes to Vaith but found the castle abandoned.
First Dornish War
The Vaiths attacked the foraging parties of Lord Harlan Tyrell during the First Dornish War. After hearing of the Defenestration of Sunspear, Lord Tyrell intended to capture Vaith and continue east along the river. His army disappeared in the red sands between the Hellholt and Vaith, however. King Aegon I Targaryen and Visenya Targaryen burned Vaith in 9 AC.
