Anyone else wondering when the Vale or Dorne come in to play in the show?
Besides Lady Stark taking Tyrion there to her crazy weirdo sister, the Vale has essentially sat on the sidelines.
And Dorne has only been mentioned, mostly around when Tyrion sent off the princess to marry in to the Martell family.

That link has a section which describes essentially each of the current major regions.
The North and The Riverlands are teamed up.
The Westerlands and The Reach are teamed up.
The Iron Islands and The Stormlands are independent.
The Vale and Dorne have both been essentially neutral to this point.
Have to think The Vale comes in for team 2 at some point with Little Finger in the lead.
Dorne perhaps for team 2 as well because of the princess thing.
Iron Islands and Stormlands need to join team 1 or they will get crushed once The North and The Riverlands are down.
