Twenty-two years ago, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was sacrificed at Summerhall in a desperate attempt to bring dragons back into the world. His death, along with the tragic burning of Summerhall, took a generation of Targaryens with it. Yet, amidst the ashes, dragons were reborn, reigniting hope and fear throughout the Seven Kingdoms. The Realm, however, has never been more divided. The House of the Dragon has risen once more, but peace remains elusive. Years of conflict—Blackfyre rebellions, brothers’ wars, and political bloodshed—have left the Targaryens fractured and bitter. As Aegon V's health declines, the fear of another Dance of Dragons grows, with the various claimants poised for war the moment he dies. Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, a warrior and stateswoman, leads the Stags faction from Dragonstone. Riding her she-dragon Stormwing, she commands loyalty from the Stormlands, but her gender remains a barrier in the eyes of many who remember the ruin that came the last time a woman sought the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, Prince Maegor, the son of Aerion Brightflame, broods in Dorne. In the Reach, House Tyrell grapples with unrest as their once-loyal vassals drift away, suspicious of House Hightower’s ambitions. Princess Rhaelle stands strong, though whispers of another Dance threaten to undermine her claim to the throne. The Westerlands are led by a broken Lord Tytos Lannister, whose family is crumbling from within. Dorne, once the fiercest opposition to the Targaryens, now aligns closely with them, though factions like House Yronwood and House Fowler eye the Martells with suspicion. In the North, House Stark faces scandal as Lord Rickard takes a wildling wife, breaking his betrothal to the Boltons and igniting tensions that threaten to engulf the region in civil war. And while the realm stands on the brink of chaos, the last heirs of House Blackfyre struggle to survive. Current year: 281 AC.
