Before the Migration of Men into the continent, Westeros was home to the Giant Race and Children
of the Forest who worshipped the Old Gods and as part of their religion carved faces
into Weirwood trees.
In Essos, legends say the city of Asshai, and Empire of the Golden Dawn held existed
in the far east, while the Fisher Queens ruled cities along the Silver Sea west of the bone
mountains whose descendants became the Tall Men of the Kingdom of Sarnor.
Also the Qaathi people reigned in these times founding various city states in what would
later become the red waste.
Of these cities only Qarth survived.
The Summer Isles also have evidence of civilization at this time, with its inhabitants believing
that the islands were alone in the world, surrounded by endless ocean.
In 12000BC the First Men Migrated through the Arm of Dorne and went to war with the
Children of the Forest.
In a futile attempt to preserve their homeland, stories say the Children performed a magical
ritual, possibly through a blood sacrifice, calling down the hammer of the waters to shatter
the land bridge connecting Westeros to Essos.
They later attempted the ritual again at the Neck of the continent, failing to completely
to flood the area, and instead created marshlands.
After 2000 years of war, peace was at last achieved though the Pact on the Isle of faces,
which partitioned the land, with the Children taking the Deep Woods and Men taking coastlands,
high plains, bright meadows, mountains and bogs.
The First men also agreed to stop destroying the sacred wierwoods, and in the many years
of friendship that followed, they even adopted the faith of the Children, coming to worship
the Old Gods.
Following the Pact, Westeros entered the Age of Heroes
And for approximately 4000 years, the First Men flourished, founding many kingdoms and
noble houses.
During this time House Stark, Lannister, Gardiner, and Durrandon were founded.
While on the Iron Islands, the legendary Grey king ruled following the faith of the Drowned
God.
And it was during this age that the Islands known as the three sisters worshiped the lord
of the skies and lady of the waves.
In 8000 BC The Long Night came, and for a generation Westeros suffered from a Harsh
winter and Darkness.
In the uttermost North a race of strange creatures known as the Others or White Walkers, marched
south against the realms of Westeros.
Stories describe them as tall and gaunt with skin as pale as milk and eyes that shine bright
blue.
They wore camouflage armor and wielded razor thin swords of ice imbued with magic allowing
them to freeze and break enemy armaments.
They were also able to summon ice spiders, and raise the dead, riding reanimated horses,
bears and direwolves into battle and reviving fallen enemies to create an army of undead
warriors known as Wights For years they wreaked havoc across the land
until the legendary Last Hero journeyed deep into the North, possibly wielding dragonsteel,
in search for the Children of the Forest, recruiting them to help humanity in their
struggle.
As the war continued on, an organization known as the Night's Watch formed to fight against
the invaders finally achieving victory at the Battle for the Dawn.
The others were then pushed back to the lands of always winter, not seen again for over
8000 years.
Although stories say the Children of the forest fought alongside humans during the long night,
some have believe that it was in fact the Children who originally created the Others
in a magical ritual years earlier, with the intent of raising a powerful army to fight
on their behalf against the First Men, only to lose control of their creation.
While Westeros suffered greatly during these years of war and darkness, the devastation
of the Long Night was felt all across the Known world, seeing the lands of Essos endure
their own hardships, establishing their own legends and mythos concerning the events of
these years.
In the lands of the Rhoynar, stories say a terrible night fell upon the world, causing
the waters of the river Rhoyne to freeze, until a Hero emerged to unite the Children
of the Goddess Mother Rhoyne, to sing a secret song which brought back the day.
Beyond the Bone Mountains, in the Golden Empire of the Dawn, legends say it was under the
reign of the Amethyst Empress that the troubles began.
Believing she was betrayed by her brother who crowned himself the Bloodstone Emperor,
his corruption led him to betray the gods of their people and worship a black stone
fallen from the sky,* caused the Maiden Made of Light to turn her back on the world.
This then led to the Long Night, when the Lion of Night came forth to punish the realms
of men for their wickedness.
The Demon armies of this vengeful god caused great devastation, until a hero emerged, wielding
the sword Lightbringer, to drive the enemy back, restoring light to the world.
The story of the hero who fought the armies of darkness with a flaming sword spread throughout
eastern essos, with many cultures adopting their own version of the tale such as the
Patrimony of Hyrkoon and its successor Realms who claim the man was known as Hyrkoon the
Hero, while other lands give this figure names such as Eldric Shadow Chaser, Yin Tar and
Neferion.
The most well known story however would came out of the mysterious far eastern city of
Asshai, where the followers of the Red God R'hllor, claim the hero was Azor Ahai, believing
he forged his magical sword by driving it into his wife's heart, imbuing it with her
soul and naming it Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes.
With Lightbringer at his side he led humanity to victory against the demon armies of night
restoring light to the world.
The ancient prophecies of Asshai, then go on to claim that Azor Ahai would one day return,
reborn to fight against a new darkness that threatens humanity.
The chaos and years of war led to the collapse of the Great Empire of the Dawn, replaced
by a successor state in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti.
Back in Westeros, after the defeat of the Others, stories say Bran the Builder of House
Stark led the effort to build up a great defensive wall with the Night's Watch as it's eternal
guard.
Years later, the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, betrayed his oaths, seduced
by a beautiful woman with skin was as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars.
The woman was said to have skin as cold as ice, leading many to believe she was linked
to the Others, possibly one of their kind herself, or else an undead servant.
The Lord Commander then took his seat at the Nightfort and declared himself King and the
woman he loved his Queen with the Night's Watch as his personal army.
The Night's King as he became known ruled committed barbarous atrocities, until the
King in the North entered into an uneasy alliance with Joramun, King beyond the wall attacking
together and defeating The Night's King, freeing the Watch from his brutal reign.
King Joramun led an army of Free Folk, also known as Wildlings, who lived north of the
wall when it was constructed and were cut off from the rest of the continent.
Some legends say King Joramun would go on to find the Horn of Winter, blowing it to
awaken the Giants.
Although estimates vary as to when exactly the age of heroes ended, many date the start
of the Andal invasion to 6000 years before Conquest.
When Hugor of the Hill was crowned the first king of Andalos, uniting his people under
the Faith of the Seven.
Slowly the Andals migrated into Westeros, first sailing into the Fingers of the Vale,
then expanding to conquer all of the continent up to the Neck, overthrowing various old and
noble houses of the First Men.
Only the Starks of the North fighting alongside the children of the forest, were able to resist
them.
And as a result First men blood remained strong in the north, while the south largely mixed
with the Andals.
The Children were nearly wiped out in the wars as the Andals slaughtered them wherever
encountered, burning the sacred Weirwood Trees.
The few of their kind that remained fled far to the North, going into hiding and as a result,
most Westerosi came to believe they died off.
For thousands of years the Andals ruled the south raising hundreds of petty Kingdoms that
would eventually transform over time into larger regions known as the Vale, the Iron
Islands, the Riverlands, the Westerlands, the Reach, the Stormlands and Dorne.
Each ruled by various noble houses constantly fighting for power.
Far to the East The Ghiscari Empire rose and conquered a large territory west of the Bone
Mountains and for thousands of years they ruled, building great pyramids with slave
labor, colonizing foreign lands in Sothoryos and discovering far off civilizations like
the Summer Isles.
Until the Rise of the Valyrian Freehold where Dragonriders and magic users led devastating
armies out of the Valyrian Penninsula, waging a series of 5 wars against the Ghiscari, conquering
nearly all their territories and burning the city of Ghis to the ground.
Afterward they laid the ground with salt and sulphur to stop the survivors from ever reforming
the city.
The surviving Ghiscari fled to the cities of Yunkai, Astapor and Meereen along Slaver's
Bay, and formed New Ghis, on a nearby island.
Further Westward, the City States of the Rhoynar Rose to power along the River Rhoyne.
Though politically divided, they were united by their Faith in the Mother Rhoyne and a
unique and progressive culture granting women equal inheritance rights, and tolerating homosexuality.
In 3000 BC The Free Folk Beyond the Wall united under Gendel and Gorne, brother Kings who
invaded Stark lands in great numbers, bypassing the Night's Watch with tunnels dug beneath
the wall.
However they were ultimately defeated and pushed back by House Stark and the Northmen.
Though the city had existed before under a people called the Mazemakers, the City of
Lorath was colonized in 1424BC by Valyrian worshippers of the Blind God Boash
Having defeated the Ghiscari, Valyria began expanding West establishing the city of Volantis
and warring with the Rhoynar until 700BC when they completed their conquest, defeating Prince
Garin the Great and his army of 250 000.
In 700BC Princess Nymeria led the Survivors of the defeated Rhoynar on 10 000 Ships, sailing
the Summer Sea in search of a new home.
After years of struggle unable to successfully Martell, uniting together to conquer the territory.
In the North, after many years of Conflict, House Stark defeated House Bolton, removing
the Red Kings from Power and consolidating their power in the North
After Defeating Sea Raiders from the East, Lord Karlon Stark was rewarded with lands
and titles, allowing him to form House Karstark.
In the South, the Ironborn raided the Western coast and at their height controlled lands
from Old Town to Bear Island.
After finishing with the Rhoynar the Valyrians conquered the western coast, defeating the
remaining Andals to establish many of the settlements that came to be known as the Free
Cities such as Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, Qohor and Norvos.
A notable exception was Braavos, founded in secret, by runaway slaves, fleeing their Valyrian
masters.
Over a hundred years later they revealed themselves to the world.
In 326BC the Valyrians once again pushed West.
This time with the annexation of a small island in the narrow sea they named Dragonstone,
meant as the Westernmost Territory to provide a port for Trade with the Andals of Westeros.
In the final centuries before Aegon's Conquest of Westeros, the Storm Kings began an expansion
of their holdings by invading the Riverlands, while the Ironborn slowly lost the Empire
they had built Yet after years of decline, House Hoare of
the Black Blooded Kings took power on the Islands, and sent their armies to the Riverlands,
taking it from the Storm Kings, remaining in power until Aegon's Conquest.
The various territories of Westeros were now formed into Seven Kingdoms, with the Kingdom
of the North, Kingdom of the Isles and Rives, Kingdom of the Mountain and Vale, Kingdom
of the Rock, Kingdom of the Reach, Kingdom of the Storm and Dorne.
In the Valyrian Freehold, Daenys the Dreamer, a Lady of House Targaryen saw a vision foreseeing
the Destruction of Valyria in 126BC and convinced her family to leave the city.
They made their home on Dragonstone, taking with them 5 living Dragons including Balerion
the Black Dread.
12 years later in 114 BC the Doom of Valyria shattered the Valyrian peninsula with many
believing the destruction was cause by the eruption of the 14 Fires, the chain of Volcanoes
where the Valyrians first found dragons and bonded with them.
After the loss of their homeland, Aurion, one of the few surviving Dragon Lords declared
himself First Emperor of Valyria and raising an army of 30000 soldiers in Qohor, leading
them south with the aim of retaking the penninsula.
Yet neither he, his dragon or his army were ever heard from again.
On Dragonstone, thanks to the vision of Daenys the Dreamer, House Targaryen avoided the fate
of their people and were now some of the last people in all the known world in possession
of living dragons.
After the Fall of the Valyrian Freehold, Essos became embroiled in a 100 years of war between
rival factions vying for power.
This time became known as the Bleeding years or Century of Blood most associated with the
rise of the nomadic Dothraki horse lords, who rampaged across the continent, burning
cities and forming what would become the Dothraki sea by conquering the Kingdoms of Sarnor,
the Ibbenese settlements in the Ifequevron, and many of the Qaathi city states of the
red waste.
Meanwhile the Free Cities fought amongst themselves for land and to control trade in the west.
At the Battle of Qohor, also known as the Battle of the 3 thousand, the city state of
Qohor defended against a Dothraki horde of 25000.
And while their defeat seemed al lbut assured, the Qohori used an army of 3000 Unsullied
warriors.
Famed slave soldiers, castrated at a young age and trained their whole lives for battle.
Although only 600 Unsullied survived the fighting, they killed over 12000 Dothraki, causing them
to retreat and halting their western migration.
After years of preparation, The Dragon Lord Aegon the Conquerer along with his sister
wives Rhaenyra and Visenya, rode their Dragons West, and with an army of less than 1600 began
their invasion of Westeros.
One by one the Kingdoms that ruled the continent fell to the Targaryens.
And while they often fought with a disadvantage in numbers, their Dragons rampaged across
the land until the last remaining rulers either bent the knee or died resisting.
Under the Targaryens, House Baratheon became Lords of the Stormlands, The Starks Lords
of the North, The Tullys Lords of the Riverlands, The Greyjoys Lords of the Iron Islands, the
Tyrells Lords of the Reach, the Lannisters Lords of the Westerlands, and the Arryns Lords
of the vale.
Only Dorne was able to avoid conquest, warning the Targaryens that they would never yield.
With nearly all of the continent conquered, Aegon Targaryen was crowned King of Westeros
and Protector of the Realm.
Marking year 1 of Aegon's Conquest.
The new monarch then created the position Hand of the King appointing his closest friend
and possible half brother Orys Baratheon* to the station.
A few years later Aegon once again invaded Dorne in the First Dornish War, attempting
to unite the continent under his rule.
In 10AC Rhaenys, Queen of Westeros and wife of Aegon I, was believed to have died in battle.
The war then continued on for 3 more years until King Aegon received a mysterious letter
from Prince Nymor Martell, ruler of Dorne.
And while the contents of the letter remain unknown, some have theorized that perhaps
it stated Rhaenys was still alive, having been captured and kept as prisoner under torture.
The letter may then have offered to end her suffering in exchange for a cessation of hostilities,
and so Aegon immediately withdrew his troops from Dorne, ending the war.
In 37AC Aegon the Conquerer, First King of Westeros died of natural causes.
In his absence, his eldest son Aenys inherited the throne.
During the reign of Aenys I, House Targaryen would continue the Valyrian tradition of Incest,
marrying his eldest daughter Rhaena to his eldest son Aegon.
However this came into conflict with the moral teaching of the Faith of the Seven.
And so many rebelled against the Targaryens.
For years the Faith Militants organized their forces and waged war against the crown.
King Aenys in turn proved poorly suited to rule, incapable of stopping the bloodshed
and dieing of illness on Dragonstone only a year after the conflict started.
After the death of King Aenys, the elderly Queen Visenya, widow of Aegon the Conquerer,
flew to Pentos and brought back her son and Aenys half brother, Maegor Targaryen.
Queen Visenya then took Aenys' children hostage, proclaiming Maegor King and issuing
an open challenge to any who disputed the claim.
This challenge was accepted by Ser Damon Morrigen called the Devout, and they fought each other
in a Trial of Seven, with Maegor emerging victorious.
King Maegor spent the years of his reign battling the Faith Militants and earning a reputation
for cruelty.
In 44AC Queen Visenya Targaryen, Mother of King Maegor, wife of Aegon I, died of natural
causes.
In 45AC THE KING completed construction of the Red Keep and Maegor's Holdfast, creating
a vast labyrinth of hidden passages and ensuring their secrecy by killing the many craftsmen
and laborers who worked on the project.
He also went to war with Prince Aegon and later Prince Jaeherys, the sons of Aenys,
who continued to dispute his claim to the Throne.
Maegor struggled without the guidance of his mother, and in 48AC was abandoned by his wife
and several of his Kingsguard.
King Maegor I died sitting on the Iron Throne, many believing he slit his wrists in the night.
With Maegor dead, rule fell to his nephew Jaehaerys.
King Jaeherys I went on to declare a truce, ending the war with the Faith Militants by
granting their member's amnesty in return for their submission to Targaryen rule.
He became known as the Conciliator and had a long and prosperous reign, with many believing
he was the greatest King Westeros ever knew.
After the death of his son and heir, King Jaeherys called a great Council to decide
on the issue of inheritance.
The First Great Council of 101 AC Chose to honor a Male heir in Prince Viserys, son of
the Kings thirdborn over Princess Rhaenys daughter of the kings Secondborn, leaving
a precedent for future generations, that the Iron Throne could not pass to a woman, or
to a male descendant of a woman if a male heir existed within the family.
Two year later, King Jaeherys died of natural causes.
King Viserys I then came to power and was considered a good ruler, keeping Westeros
prosperous and peaceful.
He had three children but his two sons died young, leaving only Princess Rhaenyra as a
possible heir.
Despite the precedent of the Great Council, Viserys embraced the idea of a female heir
in order to avoid having his brother, "The Rogue Prince" Daemon Targaryen, take the
Throne.
The Kingdom united behind this arrangement and in 105AC, hundreds of Lords and Knights
swore Oaths to defend Princess Rhaenyra's right to the throne.
After the death of his first wife, Viserys married Lady Alicent Hightower.
The King and Queen produced many sons, but Viserys insisted on keeping his eldest daughter
Rhaenyra as heir.
Queen Alicent, determined to see her first born son Aegon crowned as king, then headed
a faction that came to be known as the Greens, while Princess Rhaenyra led the Blacks.
Viserys often attempted to bring peace between them but to no avail.
In 129 AC King Viserys died of natural causes, and Queen Alicent along with her Kingsguard
Ser Criston Cole immediately set to usurping the Throne.
She proclaimed her eldest Son Aegon, King of Westeros, Second of his name and Legitamte
heir to Viserys Targaryen.
Legally she would cite the Great Council of 101AC where it was decided Females could not
inherit the throne over men.
Therefore the Crown must go to the eldest son by the king.
On Dragonstone a pregnant Rhaenyra was enraged at the betrayal of the Queen and was so upset
she went into early labor, losing the child.
Once she recovered she raised her armies and waged war against the Queen and Aegon II.
Known as the Dance of the Dragons, this was the first major civil of the Seven Kingdoms,
and saw the continent split in support of the Blacks and Greens.
While many kept the oaths taken in 105AC to Rhaenyra, others did not, and stayed neutral
or supported Aegon.
After years of fighting the war ended disastrously for House Targaryen, with both contenders
for the throne dead.
Along with a great majority of their Dragons and dragonriders.
In 131AC Cregan Stark, Lord of Winterfell, came South with a mighty army in support of
Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Even after her death, they continued to King's Landing, eager to take revenge.
But before they arrived Aegon II was poisoned and with no more male heirs on his side of
the family, Rhaenyra's son Aegon III was crowned king.
Lord Stark was enraged that the war ended before his army could crush the rebel forces.
And so he had young Aegon name him Hand of the King, an office he held for a single day,
in which he arrested all those suspected of poisoning the king and passed judgement on
them, sending some to the wall and others to their graves.
Afterwhich, he resigned his position and returned to the North.
Although Queen Alicent survived the war, she was arrested shortly after and died in the
prisons of King's Landing in 133AC of Winter Fever
Following the Dance of the Dragons, King Aegon III sat the iron throne and attempted to rebuild
the kingdom.
Though his reign was largely peaceful, he was unable to breed healthy dragons, and with
so many lost in the war, the race went extinct under his rule, thus earning him the name
Dragonbane.
In 157 AC King Aegon III died of natural causes.
After the death of King Aegon III, his 14 year old son Daeron inherited the Throne,
Called The young Dragon, he proved an ambitious young man, convinced it was his destiny to
unite the continent and complete the Targaryen conquest of Westeros.
And so Daeron began the Second Dornish War, also known as the Conquest of Dorne, in which
his forces were able to defeat the Noble Houses of the realm, placing the Lord of Highgarden
to administer their new holding.
Yet while the rulers of Dorne were defeated, the smallfolk who populated the territory
rebelled, refused to submit to Targaryen authority.
The occupation of Dorne became a disaster for Targaryen forces with many claiming Daeron
lost 10 000 men taking Dorne, and up to 50 000 men trying to keep it.
Eventually even the King lost his life in the fighting and the Targaryen's were forced
into retreat.
Daeron was succeeded by his younger brother Baelor in 161AC.
King Baelor I also called the Blessed made peace with Dorne, ending the war by recognizing
their sovereignty and humbling himself before them.
Baelor was a devout worshipper of the Faith of the 7, the most pious and humble King the
realm ever knew.
The Great Sept of Baelor was built in his honor and he was admired by many.
During his reign he locked away his three beautiful sisters in order to lessen his temptation
and avoid the Targaryen tradition of incest.
In 170AC despite having been locked away in a tower, the King's sister Daena the Defiant
gave birth to Daemon Blackfyre, a bastard son fathered by her cousin Aegon Targaryen.
After fasting forty days and nights, King Baelor died in 171AC.
Though most believed he died of malnutrition, there are some who think he was poisoned by
his uncle Viserys, who feared Baelor had grown to Zealous and was preparing to make war against
the North and Iron Islands, in order to convert them to the faith of the 7.
By all accounts King Viserys was wise and clever and might have been a great ruler,
but unfortunately died of a sudden illness one year into his reign.
Some however, suspect his son of poisoning him for the throne.
In 172AC With Viserys II deceased, his eldest son Aegon was crowned king.
Aegon IV was a drunken wretch of a ruler, largely considered the worst of the Targaryen
Kings, his many selfish and careless actions earned him the name "Aegon the unworthy."
Perhaps most damaging of all his decrees, was heard as the King lay upon his deathbed
in 184AC, where he legitimized all his acknowledged bastard children sowing the seeds that would
one grow into the next great Civil War of Westeros.
After the death of King Aegon IV, his eldest legitimate son Daeron II was crowned King.
And while his reign would be fraught with difficulties, he accomplished much and was
remembered fondly.
Early in his reign, Daeron II was responsible for at last unifying the continent in 187AC,
not through war, but with a marriage alliance to House Martell.
Despite his accomplishments, the actions of his father still haunted him, and Daeron's
legitimacy was always in question.
In 196AC, the bastard born Daemon Blackfyre, elder son of Aegon IV, declared himself King
and once again the continent was split into factions.
The Blackfyre rebellion ended at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, where Daemon was defeated
and killed.
* Some of Daemon's children managed to escape with their uncle Aegor Rivers, who led them
to Essos where they lived in exile, leaving Daeron as King of Westeros.
In 209AC After Ser Duncan the Tall, a young Hedge Knight rescued a young woman from the
abuse of Prince Aerion Targaryen, he was arrested and fought in a Trial of Seven.
In this conflict, Prince Baelor Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne, joined the side of
the Hedge Knight and against his own nephew.
And while Ser Duncan's team was victorious, Baelor Breakspear died in the fighting and
King Daeron was left without an heir.
After the Great spring sickness of that same year, Daeron II died along with Baelor's
two sons, leaving Daeron's second son, Aerys as King.
Aerys I ruled a troubled kingdom and spent most of his reign putting down rebellions
from both the Blackfyres in the East and the Ironborn in the West, who took advantage of
the weakened realm and were raiding the western shores.
In 211AC the Hand of the King Brynden Rivers, called Bloodraven, uncovered a plot to usurp
the crown with a second Blackfyre Rebellion.
But it was halted before any battles were fought, with Daemon Blackfyre II arrested
at a tournament at Whitewall and taken as a hostage.
In 219AC Aegor Rivers, called Bittersteel, led a third Blackfyre rebellion on behalf
of Daemon II's younger brother Haegon Blackfyre.
But they too were defeated and Haegon killed.
Bittersteel was arrested and sent to the Night's Watch for his crimes, but his ship was intercepted
by Blackfyre loyalists and once again he escaped to Essos.
In 221AC King Aerys I died of natural causes and his brother Maekar inherited the throne.
The reign of King Maekar I was largely considered a peaceful one, though rebellion was always
an issue.
In 226AC The Free Folk beyond the wall united under Raymun Redbeard, crowned their king.
Under his leadership they successfully scaled the wall and invaded the North, but were eventually
defeated by Lord Willam Stark and his Northern Army.
In 233AC Maekar died fighting Outlaw Rebels, leaving his eldest surviving son Aemon Targaryen
as heir.
But Aemon refused the crown, and instead took his Maester's vows, fleeing to the Wall.
This left only Maekar's youngest son Aegon "The Unlikely."
A fourth son of a fourth son and former squire to the Hedge Knight Ser Duncan the tall.
The Reign of King Aegon V was largely prosperous proving a kind hearted and generous ruler.
Brave on the battlefield and a man of the people, these characteristics which endeared
him to the small folk, also made him an enemy of the Nobility, who felt he threatened their
wealth and power.
In 236AC Bittersteel and Daemon Blackfyre III Invaded Westeros with the Golden Company,
in the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion.
However they were unable to rally many Lords to their cause, and were defeated at the battle
of Wendwater Bridge where Ser Duncan the Tall slew Daemon Blackfyre, though Bittersteel
again was able to escape.
In 241 AC Aegor Rivers, died in the Disputed Lands of Essos, but the Blackfyre cause continued.
In 259AC King Aegon V attempted to hatch the last of his dragon eggs at his home of Summerhall.
But the plan went awry, and the palace was consumed by a great fire, killing the king,
his son and the Kingsguard Ser Duncan the Tall.
On this same day and in the same location, Rhaegar Targaryen was born.
After the Death of Aegon V, his eldest surviving son, Jaehaerys II inherited the Throne.
Though his reign was short due to poor health.
He proved a capable and wise ruler.
In 260AC Maelys the monstrous, last of the male line of Daemon Blackfyre, invaded the
Stepstones south east of Westeros, joined by the Band of Nine, a group of merchants,
mercenaries and pirates eager to carve out kingdoms for themselves.
King Jaeherys II knew that Maelys was using the islands as a staging ground for a Fifth
Blackfyre Rebellion, and so gathered his armies and sent them to the Stepstones where they
fought and won the War of the Nine Penny Kings.
During the fighting, Ser Barristan Selmy killed Maelys Blackfyre in single combat.
After only 3 years as King, Jaeherys died of illness and his son Aerys II inherited
the Throne.
Early in his reign King Aerys appointed his friend Tywin Lannister as Hand of the king.
And under his management the Seven kingdoms prospered for many years.* However their relationship
grew strained over time largely due to King's growing jealousy and paranoia.
In 277AC House Darklyn of Duskendale rebelled in the Defiance of Duskendale.
King Aerys, eager to prove himself a hero, went personally to settle the dispute but
was taken captive and held as a hostage.
The town was besieged for six months, until Ser Barristan Selmy of the Kingsguard single
handily rescued the king.* In 280AC Rhaegar Targaryen, eldest son of
King Aerys II married Elia Martell of Dorne.
In 281 AC a Tournament was held at Harrenhall where Prince Rhaegar was named Champion earning
the right to crown a woman Queen of Love and Beauty.
However he passed over his own wife, to give the crown of blue roses to lady Lyanna Stark.
This was later described as the moment when all the smiles died.
For Lyanna was betrothed to Lord Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar had in one action insulted Houses
Martell, Stark and Baratheon.
Also in this year after the defeat of the rebel Kingswood Brotherhood, Ser Jaime Lannister
was named to the Kingsguard, thereby robbing Tywin of his heir.
Having had enough of the King's disrespect, Tywin quit his position as Hand.
Only one year after the departure of Tywin Lannister, King Aerys had alienated half the
kingdom.
Now called the Mad King, he and his son Rhaegar became responsible for the fall of their House.
In 282AC, Prince Rhaegar, ignoring his wife, seemingly abducted Lyanna Stark and brought
her South.
When her family learned of this outrage, Brandon Stark, heir to Winterfell marched with 200
men to Kings Landing in order to confront the Prince.
But Rhaegar was not present when they arrived, and so King Aerys had Brandon and his men
arrested.
When his father Lord Rickard Stark then travelled to the capital to negotiate his sons release,
he too was arrested and both were tortured and executed.
After this act of barbarism, House Stark, Arryn and Baratheon declared war against the
crown.
Later House Tully of the Riverlands joined them, while House Martell and Tyrell remained
loyal to the King, and House Greyjoy and Lannister remained neutral.
The war culminated in the Battle of the Trident in 283AC, when Robert Baratheon led his forces
to Victory against Rhaegar, smashing his Warhammer into the prince's chest, and destroying
the bulk of the Targaryen army.
After this action The Greyjoys and Lannisters both joined the Baratheon cause, with the
Ironborn fleet attacking the Reach and Lord Tywin Lannister Sacking King's Landing in
Robert's name.
During the fall of capital, Ser Jaime Lannister betrayed his oath as a Kingsguard by slitting
the throat of the Mad King, who in his rage and insanity was preparing to set fire to
the city.
Lyanna was found dead in Dorne later that year by her brother Eddard Stark, whom she
entrusted with a secret, Lord Stark never revealed.
