## History

### The Dragon Tamer

Aegon VII Targaryen was known for his love for the dragons. He made sure every Targaryen has his own dragon, and with that he wanted to secure the place of House Targaryen. Many Kings tried before, but not many succeeded, so Aegon changed the way.

In 414AC he got married to Lady Roslin of House Westerling. In 415AC Princess Baela Targaryen, in 417AC Prince Aerys and in 418AC Prince Valarr was born.

Princess Baela was Quickthunder's rider, Prince Aerys was the rider of Harrax, Prince Valarr rode Silverclaw, Aerola Targaryen rode Drogon until 419AC, after Drogon passed away peacfully. Drogon was the last dragon who survived the Second War of Conquest.

At the begining of King Aegon's reign, six dragons were under the control of House Targaryen.

### The Young King

Aegon VII became King, when he was only twelve. Queen Aerola Targaryen, the King's mother was the regent, until Aegon turned sixteen. Lord Alicer Tyrell died in 413AC, so the young King needed a new Hand. The Queen regent named Oswell Greyjoy for this duty. Lord Greyjoy don't wanted to leave the Iron Islands, but in the end his wife, Princess Gael convinced him to help her nephew and sister.

Lord Greyjoy served well, but not for long. In 419AC, Princess Gael fell sick, so Lord Oswell asked permission to King Aegon to join his wife's side at Pyke. Aegon let his Hand go, then he named Lord Torhen Stark, who was his cousin. Lord Stark was really happy for the nomination and served his cousin well.

In 415AC Princess Baela Targaryen, in 417AC Prince Aerys and in 420AC Prince Valarr was born. Lord Stark advised King Aegon, to wed Baela to Lord Stark's eldest son, Brynden Stark. Aegon was happy with the offer, and later in 430AC they married at Winterfell. With that the North was secured in Baela's hands.

King Aegon VII decided to name Prince Aerys Targaryen his heir, in 420AC.

Two years after naming the heir of the Iron Throne, Aegon's bastard son was born, who's name was Rhaegel Rivers. Queen Roslin Westerling was really offended, so she murdered the King's lover, Lady Kyra of Lys. King Aegon was furious, and interrogated every household members until he found out that his Queen commanded Kyra's murder. Aegon commanded Queen Roslin to leave, so she went to Dragonstone, where she was with young Baela and Valarr. Aerys remained with his father at King's Landing.

### A Long Reign

King Aegon VII Targaryen ruled over 29 years. During his reign, the *Second Civil War*'s seeds have been planted.

In 432AC Prince Aerys married his lover in secret, Tarrah, who was a common whore at King's Landing. When King Aegon found out, he disinherited his eldest son. Aerys was furious and he proclaimed that he still the eldest son of King Aegon VII and the throne will be his by right. Aegon declared that Aerys is no longer his heir, and he intend to name his second son, Prince Valarr Targaryen. Aerys left King's Landing on Harrax's back, before he could swore fealthy to his brother as the new heir.

Aerys was seen in the Free Cities, where he started to make new connections. Aerys was a throne hungry men, who had one ambition: Rule over the Seven Kingdoms.

As Prince Valarr grew older, he married Lady Cynthea Dayne, who gave two beautifull children to Prince Valarr; Prince Viserys and Princess Helaena. King Aegon was really pleased with Valarr's devotion, so he named him Prince of Summerhall. Valarr was a great friend of House Stark, so he often visited his sister and her family. In 438AC, Lord Brynden Stark swore Valarr that he stay by his side no matter what, for he knew that one day Aerys will return for the crown of the Seven Kingdoms. The young Prince was delighted and he continued to make friends. His bastard half-brother, Rhaegel Rivers, was on his side aswell, for Aerys was always cruel with him.

In 436AC, with the intercession of Prince Valarr Targaryen, King Aegon VII made Rhaegel Rivers, Prince Rhaegel Targaryen, true born son of King Aegon VII and a Prince of House Targaryen. Afterwards Rhaegel stood loyal to his elder half-brother, swore loyality to him and the King, and helped him in whatever he needed. Queen Roslin never loved Rhaegel, and never trusted him.

In 440AC Prince Valarr resigned as Prince of Summerhall and the title passed to Prince Rhaegel. At the same year, Rhaegel claimed Nightfyre as his own dragon. After this Rhaegel chose his own sigil. The sigil is a three-headed dragon breathing flames, black on turquoise, symbolising Nightfyre.

Aegon was happy for his two youngest sons, but he was affraid of his eldest and more cruel son, the Prince Aerys. Aegon sent spies to the Free Cities, but information never came back about his son.

As years passed, Rhaegel married to Lady Janie of House Lannister, and their only daughter was born in 439AC named Naerys. Rhaegel knew his duty, and he made sure to fulfill it, by taking a noble wife from a Great House. prince Valarr's supporters grew by the time, and Rhaegel helped him to accomplish it. On Prince Rhaegel's wedding, Prince Valarr declared that when his time comes, he'll be counting on Rhaegel's help as Hand of the King.

Aegon saw the danger in Aerys, and he was obsessed with him during the last two years of his life. King Aegon's reign was determined by peace and prosperity.
