## History

### The Dance of Dragons

During the reign of King Aegon II Targaryen, and the civil war known as The Dance of the Dragons, the founder of House Sunfyre, Corlys, bastard son of the old King Viserys I, and half-brother to the new King Aegon II, fought alongside his brother Aegon and was besides him when Rhaenyra was captured. After the attack on Dragonstone, Aegon fed Rhaenyra to Sunfyre, his dragon that was wounded during it's fight with Moondancer. With Rhaenyra's defeat, and Corlys' bravery in the war, Aegon II knighted him, legitimised him, and gave him the name Sunfyre as a cadet branch to House Targaryen.

Sunfyre's condition eventually got worse, so Corlys asked Aegon if he could take care of Sunfyre until it recovers, or until it's death. When the great Sunfyre died, Corlys sat by it's side, in shock, as the dragon inhaled fire into the air. When the guards of Dragonstone saw this scene, they named Corlys 'the Flaming Dragon'.

Following Sunfyre's death, Corlys was given a notable position in the castle of Dragonstone, and one of the last remaining dragon eggs present in Westeros, but he died while hatching the egg.

### Robert's Rebellion

House Sunfyre remained Targaryen loyalists, and the members were raised alongside the Targaryen children. Most of the Sunfyre members befriended the Targaryen kings, as well, gaining their trust and friendship. The Sunfyres served the Targaryens from the day Corlys was raised to nobility to the day Aerys died by the hands of Jaime Lannister. Corlys, the second so named, fought alongside Rhaegar on the Trident, and died by his side. While Corlys' wife, Rhaenyra Velaryon, died by the hands of Gregor Clegane while attempting to protecting Elia Martell and her children.

### The Dark Days

Following the end of the Targaryen rule, House Sunfyre was in turmoil. Their lord Corlys was killed, Daeron Sunfyre was sent to the Wall for bedding a Blackwood lady, and Daemon Sunfyre was exiled by the Baratheons to Essos.

Rhaegon and his siblings were the only ones who remained in Westeros, and Rhaegon was taken ward and later on a squire to Stannis Baratheon on Dragonstone. Years later, when King Baelor Brightflame sieged King's Landing, Rhaegon saved Jame Lannister, and fled the city. He later swore his house's allegiance to House Brightflame.

### Rise of House Sunfyre

Recently, Rhaegon has formed many alliances with many houses, and acquired countless friendships with lords and ladies around the Seven Kingdoms. Initially he took it upon himself to assist Haywin Sand in the take over the Stepstones to form the Kingdom of the Stepstones, but when he was dissatisfed with his share he used his marriagge to the Redwaters to go for the rest of it and declare war on his King. A war that nearly cost him everything was won when King Haywin surrendered rather then risk his men in further bloodshed where Rheagon had more men to lose. Thus Rhaegon turned the Kingdom into another land of House Brightflame and instead it became a Lord Paramount. Though the experienced proved difficult for him, he lacked most of the lords support and once the Redwater support was blocked by another war the Stepstone Lords rebelled and sent Rheagon back to Westeros.

Rhaegon learned from the experienced though and knew that if he wanted to keep any gains he would need to establish it by other means then war and he was later allowed; by the king, to rebuild the ancient castle of Oldstones that once belonged to the ancient kings of house Mudd, a task initially taken by Haywin but given to him through there agreement after the Coup. His ambition has opened many doors for him, and he would soon start to slowly gain vassals and allies amongst Riverlords, Westerland houses, and even houses out of nearby regions. A strong and much more stable powerbase then his previous one, Rhaegon had successfully pulled his House out of there dark days, and he would continue to grow, even still his ambitions always seemed to outweigh his abilities. After he had gained his own standing and even distinguished himself in the Darkspear Rebellion he would then go on to win his civil war with his brother and play a crucial role in the defeat of the Skybrights in there second war with the Faintwaters. But later ambitions would cause him some grief, supposedly he made a play against the Longleys but Jory Redwater's refusal to back it caused Rhaegon to back out before he could really attempt it, then he made overtures in the Vale seemingly gunning for the top, but his plans failed, though he did gain some more trade deals from it and turned his overall failure into a profit. His biggest ambition was supposedly to invade the Summer Isles and turn the nation into a Valyria controlled region. This also failed and cost Rhaegon considerable money and power that he was warded off attempting any other big overtures
