11/30/2023 0 Comments Balerion ridersAt the end of the battle that would be known as the "Field of Fire," House Gardener had been completely obliterated, thousands died from swords, arrows, and spears, while the dragons killed thousands more. The dry grass on the battlefield that day caught fire and spread quickly, killing House Lannister and Gardener's forces in droves. As men battled on foot, the dragons melted thousands in their own armor. Regardless, Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar took flight together and descended on the enemy troops. The combined forces of Casterly Rock and Highgarden were five times as large as those of the Targaryens. They flew to the northern portions of the Reach, where the three dragonlords were met by Loren I Lannister, King of the Rock, and Mern IX Gardener, King of the Reach. Visenya then headed to Crackclaw Point to hear more pledges of loyalty before flying to Stoney Sept to regroup with Aegon and Rhaenys. Visenya counterattacked with Vhagar, torching the Arryn fleet in totality. The fleet was attacked by House Arryn's fleet, where they successfully destroyed a third of House Targaryen's ships. Visenya pressed onward and took Vhagar to accompany the Targaryen fleet to Gulltown. He began the campaign to dominate the Seven Kingdoms with his wives, forever being symbolized in House Targaryen's three-headed sigil alongside their dragons: Aegon atop Balerion, Rhaenys atop Meraxes, and Visenya atop Vhagar. He sent ravens to the rulers of Westeros, stating that he would unify the Seven Kingdoms under House Targaryen. When the emissary arrived in Storm's End, King Argilac had his hands cut off and sent back to Dragonstone, with a message stating "these are the only hands you will receive." Aegon called his banners and set his eyes on the Seven Kingdoms in response. Instead, Aegon asked that Argella marry his best friend (and allegedly his bastard brother) Orys Baratheon. He offered his daughter Argella for Aegon to wed (Aegon had not yet married his sisters), but Aegon refused. Argilac sent the offer of an alliance to Aegon Targaryen. Harren had nearly completed construction on the dreaded fortress Harrenhal, and King Argilac wanted to keep Harren from advancing into the Stormlands.

However, everything changed on the account of Storm King Argilac "the Arrogant" Durrandon. For years, House Targaryen was content to exist on Dragonstone. Visenya would go on to marry her brother Aegon Targaryen, who also married their sister Rhaenys. Vhagar's early life was relatively uneventful, but a young Visenya Targaryen eventually claimed her as her mount. Martin's novels, A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords, Vhagar was named after one of the gods of the Valyrian Freehold. Vhagar hatched from her egg on Dragonstone 52 years before Aegon's Conquest.
