House Targaryen

Lord of Dragonstone

Lord Protector of the Realm

**House Targaryen of Dragonstone** is an oddity among the noble houses of Westeros. They are the only royal house with Valyrian ancestry and are, in fact, pureblooded Valyrians themselves, among the last in the known world. They have left their empire about a decade before the Doom destroyed it, due to a vision of Daenys the Dreamer, a magically gifted ancestor of the house. Together with their dragons and a few companions, they have built a new home on the island of Dragonstone and the surrounding islands. Centuries later, House Targaryen owns the last living dragons in the known world. Their current ruler is Aegon Targaryen, an ambitious and highly cunning young man with great dreams.

Their sigil is a red three-headed dragon on a black field. Their words are "*Fire and Blood*"

## History

House Targaryen was amongst the numerous families of Dragonlords that lived at the Freehold of Valyria, until thanks to the warning of Daenys Targaryen, called the Dreamer, had a vision of the upcoming doom of the Freehold. Her father Lord Aenar Targaryen heed the warning and moved his family, alongside their servants, slaves and dragons to Dragonstone, the westernmost outpost of the Freehold, founded nearly two centuries earlier. When the Doom ravaged Valyria and exterminated most of their dragons, the Targaryen became the last known Dragonlords (the surviving Dragonlords and their dragons from the Free Cities were exterminated). Aenar was succeeded by his son Gaemon Targaryen, called The Glorious, who married his sister Daenys.
