I was actually just about to go back and mention that, believe it or not, I was just lazy. I had suddenly remembered that the Fellan were actually still there to uphold the spell that protected the island from invasion. I talked to Belt-of-Deltora about this too, and we discussed the possibility that the Shadow Lord, even though the Fellan is there, may one day take over Dorne. It would be very insteresting to go back and visit the island. It would also be very interesting to go back and visit the village of Rin, and learn of its relations to the other islands (and yes, Rin and Rowan does indeed exist in the same universe. This was discovered at a convention where the question was actually answered.) Anyway, there is your answer random Wikia contributor! Currently the Shadow Lord doesn't have any means (as far as we know) to invade Dorne since the Fellan is protecting it with their magical barrier.
