Samaya Qorgyle hoped gaining a seat on the Red Council would guarantee the member Houses of the Red Mountains will stand in defense of Dorne after the Revolution, and not allow the Targaryen Host unfettered access into Dorne when the King retaliates. Her plans for rebellion hinged on repopulating the keeps, arming the resistance and making sure the Nobles who were captured to ensure cooperation with Targaryen occupation, were safe. That is where the Heroes of the story come into her plans, she hoped the old tales of Mon and Brim were true- then there would be hope.
