In the year 300 AC—a full three centuries after Aegon's Conquest—another Targaryen would unite Westeros after an era of strife. Aegon VI Targaryen of the blood of Old Valyria had arrived to claim what was his by birthright, and soon after him Daenerys Stormborn by right of conquest.

Tommen Baratheon and his queen were slain during the sack of King’s Landing despite the best efforts of his loyal White Cloaks. Ser Jaime Lannister, Ser Loras Tyrell and Ser Meryn Trant killed nearly a hundred men in their valiant defense of Maegor’s Holdfast though in the end were cut down themselves, yet not before the Valonqar opened the throat of his own sister to prevent her from sending the city up the infernal embrace of wildfire. Aegon’s rule afterward would prove to be a short one, as he would prove no match for the wrath of his aunt and her dragons.

She would usher in the Second Era of Westerosi history and by the time she passed from the realm of the living in the year 335, the Seven Kingdoms would have changed dramatically. House Targaryen was raised even higher than before and the slums of King's Landing washed clean by the wealth brought with the Queen Regnant from the East. The crown paid its due to the Iron Bank and the city continued its rapid and prosperous growth under the leadership of King Daeron III, eldest son of Aegon and Arianne Martell, who rebuilt the Dragonpit.

The descendants of those houses who proved their loyalty were restored to their rightful seats, while those who stood against the Iron Throne were met with dragon fire. King Euron Greyjoy was killed and the fleet of the Iron Islands all but annihilated in the Whispering Sound in the conflict that became known as The Kraken's Folly. Daenerys and the newly-restored Targaryen dynasty would lead the Kingdom of the Iron Throne through a 106 year reign of reconstruction, prosperity and new beginnings that rose from the bitter ashes of a cold winter war.

With the Others defeated and the Seven Kingdoms brought back into the fold, the Dragonlords and their subjects were able to lead a life that was, for the most part, normal, until the dark tide of war would once again return to the shores of Westeros after nearly a century of peace.
Endemic to Slaver’s Bay, a plague comes to Westeros via merchant ships from where it has spread to the Free Cities. Maelor Targaryen, in an effort to spare his people this sickness, declares an embargo on any vessel traveling from Essos. This ban on trade lasts for a substantial amount of time, thus straining relations on both sides of the Narrow Sea. Although the economy of the Free Cities gradually recovers from the effects of the plague and the embargo, the Iron Bank demands that various Westerosi families pay accumulated debts, a collection that seems sudden and brash. The King on the Iron Throne outright denies immediate payment until the Iron Bank is willing to negotiate a proper and fair settlement.

A new plague descends upon Westeros in the form of pirates and privateers paid by wealthy merchant families in service to the Iron Bank, though His Grace is quick to retaliate by putting a price on every privateers head and decreeing that anyone of significant Essosi heritage was to be taken captive and held for ransom, as well as drafting ships from all the Seven Kingdoms. Though this fleet was meant to rain destruction on the pirate dens of the Stepstones, tensions had risen to a head between the Free Cities and the Iron Throne, and despite attempts at diplomatic discussions all talk of peace is forgotten as Velaryon ships are engaged by a force of the Lorathi navy in the waters of Blackwater Bay.

The ensuing conflict, lasting five long, grueling years, came to be known as the War of the Four Daughters and left both sides licking their wounds after suffering massive losses, though the forces of Westeros were routed. In the years following, Maelor and his council struggle with the aftermath and there are whispers of civil war, though none ever arises. In moments of peace, the realm comes together to celebrate Prince Viserys’ forty-third name day, and the fortnight of festivity is a favorable event, particularly among the smallfolk. The celebrations, however, run short when Prince Viserys is unhorsed during his own tournament and gored on the end of a tourney lance, leaving him the King that Never Was.

The year is now 417 AC and the air is rife with rumours of King Maelor’s failing health. The question of the line of succession in the wake of Viserys’ death leaves everything unclear, and the very future of the Seven Kingdoms is left to hang in the balance.
