## History

### Prince of Dragonstone

In 432AC, Prince Aerys Targaryen and his whore, named "Tarrah", married in secret. When the King heard about the case, he named his younger son, Prince Valarr, his new heir. Afterwards King Aegon VII Targaryen disinherited Aerys. Aerys left King's Landing with fury, and never swore loyality to his younger brother.

Everyone loved the new heir. After the cruel and nearly mad Aerys, a totally different personality was defined in the court by Prince Valarr. His generousity and kindness was the key to stabilish his position at the Small Council, and outside the court.

He convinced his father to make his bastard brother - Rhaegel Rivers- Prince Rhaegel Targaryen, a true member of House Targaryen, in 436AC. Rhaegel stood loyal to Valarr and supported him very well.

Valarr trained very hard, to become a great fighter. He trained with his brother Rhaegel, and they were really close to each other.

### The War of the Brothers

After King Valarr I Targaryen asneded the Iron Throne, made by Aegon the Conqueror, the great challenge began. in 441AC, King Valarr named his son, Prince Viserys Targaryen, the heir to the Iron Throne. Valarr sent Ravens to every Great House of the Seven Kingdoms, to warn them about Prince Aerys and the possibility of breaking a War out. A year later, he started to recruit soldiers to the Golden Company. The Golden Army had twenty-thousand men under it's control during that time.

In the second year of King Valarr I's reign, a raven came from Braavos that said:

* *To the usurper, Valarr Targaryen: You are sitting on my chair, you are eating my food and you are using my power. How would you answer for these crimes, that you commit againts the one true King of Westeros, Aerys III Targaryen?*

Valarr did not answer, for his brother was always in the move.

In late 433AC, Aerys crowned himself in Valyria with his own crown, and named himself Aerys the Third of his Name. King Aerys led thirty-thousand Dothraki and other ten-thousand men, who were recruited from across the Free Cities, under his own banner. He than named his army the White Army.

The Army of King Valarr was named the Army of the Loyalist. The numbers favoured King Valarr, and he ruled the sky, for there was 4 dragons under his control.

Aerys did not care and he sent a raven to his sister Baela Targaryen, an alliance proposal and in addition a marriage proposal too. Many says that Baela laughted so hard on his brother's letter, that she could not breath for some moment. She answered Aerys in on phrase:

* *There's only one true King in Westeros, and his name is Valarr Targaryen!*

House Stark called it's banners and made up almost twenty-thousand men. The Northern Army was separated to two parts:

* The First Northern Army: Commanded by Lord Brynden Stark, and joined by his eldest son, Rickon Stark.
* The Second Northern Army: Commanded by Princess Baela Targaryen herself.

Their youngest son, Glendon Stark, stayed at Winterfell with his aunts.

Lord Rendyl Lannister, father of Lady Janie Lannister, called his bannermen, and went straight to King's Landing, where they joined the Golden Company.

In 443AC, King Aerys III landed at Sunspear with his army, where he was welcomed by Princess Myria of House Martell, for she accepted the marriage proposal of King Aerys. With that the odds have changed. Dorne stood in Aerys's side. They says that when Valarr received the letter, his hand was full of his own blood, and with a small gesture with his left hand he cut himself on the Iron Throne, reflecting that his days are numbered as ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

In 444AC, the first battle took place at Blackhaven, where the White Army and the Lannister Army fought. During the battle, the Second Northern Army arrived at King's Landing, with the command of Princess Baela Targaryen, while the she came on Quickthunder's back. During the Battle of Blackhaven, Prince Rhaegel and King Aerys fought in the sky. Nightfyre was much larger and experienced dragon, but Harrax was much faster and clever. The outcome of the battle ended in victory for the White Army and Aerys. Prince Rhaegel survived the battle by inches. He was seriously injured during the fight, and Nightfyre was defeated by Harrax. Lord Rendyl Lannister died on the battlefield, after Prince Dorell Martell cut his throat.

Aerys and his wife, Princess Myria went to Summerhall, where they made a regroup. The White Army lost three five thousand men during the battle, and many were injured. Harrax was fine, but she needed rest after the fight between her and Nightfyre. Aerys commanded his appointed Hand of the King, Donodos Pahryr, to send ravens to Casterly Rock, commanding Tommen Lannister, son of Lord Rendyl Lannister, to bend the knee and to join his forces. Tommen did not answer to the letter, he just took over the Lannister army as head of House Lannister.

King Valarr wanted to join the fights, but Rhaegel did not let him to do so.

In 445AC, Aerys called out Valarr, to face him one on one, and to finish this endless bloody war. Rhaegel was madly injured, so he could not help Valarr as Hand of the King for a while, so Valarr made up his own mind before even telling to anyone. He agreed to face Aerys himself.

The two Kings faced each other at the Gods Eye, where many legendary fights took place. Valarr was on Silverclaw's back, while Aerys was on Harrax. The two faced each other without telling anything for a while, then Valarr ended the silence.

* *You gona die today brother. With or without me, you gonna die!*

Aerys answered:

* *We'll see brother.*

When Aerys finished his phrase, Harrax jumped in the sky and the dance began. The fight during the two Kings was half day long, and was ended by Aerys himself, after he threw his spearvin Valarr's chest. Aerys took land after he defeated his brother, and tried to calm Silverclaw down, to make him his own, but he flew away with the body of the King.

One moon later, King Aerys III appeared with his army at the gates of King's Landing. The gates were open, and no men deffended the walls. The people of the capital were affraid, so they were hidden in their own houses. King Aerys went to the Red Keep on Harrax's back, then landed outside of the Keep. He was then joined by Prince Dorell, and his hand, Donodos Pahryr, who urged Aerys to call the Great Houses to swore loyality to him. This was the ending for the *War of the Brothers* in 445AC.

### Afterwards

In 445AC, Aerys Targaryen was crowned by Princess Myria Martell at the Red Keep. The Dornish houses came and the houses of the Reach.

During this time, the family of King Valarr were taken care at Casterly Rock, by House Lannister. Rhaegel coronated Prince Viserys, son of Valarr, the King of the Andals, the Roynar and the First Man, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. The title "Protector of the Realm" was given to the widowed, Queen Cynthea Payne, until Viserys become adult. Prince Rhaegel stood as Hand of the King of Viserys IV Targaryen.

The First and second Northern Army joined forces at Harrenhal, then stood there for a while, waiting for the new command. Rhaegel knew that Aerys will get the fealty of the Great Houses if he wait too long. So a year after the death of King Valarr I Targaryen, ravens left Casterly Rock claiming that Prince Viserys is now King and he intend to take his place back. This was the begining of the *Third Great Civil War* (first: *Dance of Dragons;* second: *War of the Brothers*).
