He forged a realm with dragonfire and iron—uniting kings through conquest and cunning
Aegon’s Conquest chronicles the epic story of Aegon Targaryen, the first king of Westeros, whose dragon-led invasion shattered ancient borders and forged the Seven Kingdoms under a single crown. This sweeping saga unfolds with breathtaking scope—blazing battles, shifting loyalties, and the forging of a dynasty that would shape centuries.
Aegon’s campaign begins on Dragonstone, where he and his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys plan their conquest. With three dragons—Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes—they embark on a campaign of fire and steel: burning Harrenhal, crushing the armies of the Reach and the Westerlands, and facing rolling resistance from houses sworn to the old ways. Each victory is a testament to dragonpower but also to the delicate diplomacy that follows: forging marriages, demands for fealty, and brutal executions.
Beyond conquest, the narrative reveals Aegon’s political acumen. He crafts the first King's Peace, convinces stubborn lords to bend the knee, and introduces governance through the Iron Throne—iron forged from the swords of defeated enemies as a stark reminder of power and unity. Through Council meetings, strategic marriages, and religious overtures to appease the Faith of the Seven, Aegon builds not just an empire, but a fragile peace.
The story peaks in the Field of Fire, where the greatest challenge arises: a coalition of Stormlands and Crownlands forces, led by Orys Baratheon and allied kings, confront Aegon’s dragons. The battle is cataclysmic—dragons blaze the skies, dead horses fill rivers, and the sound of steel vanishes under thunderous wings. Aegon emerges victorious but wary; he knows that uniting Westeros demands more than conquest—it demands legacy.
Aegon’s Conquest ends not with celebrations, but with the forging of a realm at war with itself. Dragonflame has built a throne, but under it lies distrust, ambition, and a queenless Targaryen line still finding its roots. As banners wave and knights kneel, the question remains: can fire truly bind a broken land?
