Where is House Martell during House of the Dragon?

At the time House of the Dragon begins, Dorne still isn’t technically part of the Seven Kingdoms. Led by Prince Qoren Martell, the Dornish fight in support the Triarchy in the war over the Stepstones. King Viserys I Targaryen considers trying to fold Dorne into his realm by marrying his daughter Rhaenerya to Qoren. When House Targaryen is split at the outset of the Dance of the Dragons, Qoren is courted by both the Blacks and the Greens.

House Baratheon is tight with House Targaryen due to Orlys Baratheon’s loyal support and friendship to King Aegon I Targaryen during the Conquest., so it’s no surprise that the Baratheons are on the razor’s edge when the civil war erupts. Lord Borros Baratheon, spurning his late father Lord Boremond’s affinity for the Blacks, chooses to side with Aegon II Targaryen and the Greens.

Wary of dragons, Borros stays in Storm’s End for the early part of the war, but he does eventually march his forces to join the fighting. So the Baratheons are involved in this story — there’s an early scene at Storm’s End that will surely get people to sit up — they’re mostly on the periphery.
