From the ask about how Nymeria and Mors brought people to their side you talk about the shaky control the Martells had over the Red mountain region for a time. Is it possible that Davos Dayne was given leave to create a cadet branch of house Dayne at High hermitage by Nymeria and possibly the head of house Dayne, or later by his sister when she became Princess? That would provide a Martell allied presence in the area to keep an eye out for trouble for a few generations whilst things settle.

Possibly, although Dayne/Martell relations in this period are rather confusing. On the one hand, the Daynes backed the Martells during Nymeria’s Conquest, and Davos Dayne was Nymeria’s third husband. 

However, the fact that Nymeria had Vorian Dayne, the Sword of the Morning himself, sent to the Wall in chains speaks to some serious breakdown in relations during this period. Probably didn’t help that Nymeria had her Martell daughter not her Dayne son named as the next Princess of Dorne.
